LARGE LEMONS
 FROn YUr1A GROVE
Councilman Nose Drachman Says Yuma Has Great Prospects as
 Fruit Growing Region.

The Tucson Citizen of recent date prints the following with the headlines as given above:
 Adios Yuma, the ''hOttest place in the world." Hail to Yuma, the Mecca of the fruit grower.
 From time to time reports have been received here about experiments in fruit raising at Yuma. The govern ment has been making extensive exper- ments there and has met with very sat isfactory results. Private enterprise has rlso been doing some experiment. ing. Favorable reports from the un- dertakings have frequently been re- ceived here.
 It remained for Councilman Nose Drachman to bring back some of the fruit. He gives glowing picture of Yuma and it's prospects. He backed up his picture with the real article some of the fruit.
 He returned this morning from Yuma d1I HlOll HUI OIpuS tlU q Oi tbbNl II CIH d lemon tree. On the branch were five lemons of enormous size. The lemons and branch will be given to the Cham Der of Commerce and will be~on exhibi- tiop there.
 Their weight was four pounds. It was suggested that such large lemons might not be of very good quality. Mir. Drachman states that the lemons are not only juicy, but that they have a very thin skin, which is quite remark able. considering their size. IL is safe to say that the lemons are as large as any ever seen in Tucson.
 The lemons were secured from Blais- dell's fruit grove, which is located half a mile from Yuma. Mir. Drachman states that the lemon trees bore very heavily and that the sample brought back is the rule in that orchard rather than the exception. .x
 It is but recently that Yuma has come to be mentioned as a fruit grow ing section, but it is believed that it will not be great while until Yuma willgive California a run in the fruit growing line.
 MT. Drachman states that Yuma is showing up in fine style and that the completion of the Laguna dam will be d great thing for the town.

Taken to the Asylum.

s. B. Sealey, who became insane while in Phoenix several days ago and taken into custody, but later released, returned to Yuma last week and for a short time was apparently all right but has since developed unmistakable evi- dences of an unbalanced mind. His hallucionation is that he has enemies who are constantly on his trail and try ing to kill him. He was examined be- fore Probate Judge Dunlap last Mon- day, adjudged insane, and was to have been taken to the asylum at Phoenix Monday night by It. H.Stanton. In the meantime, however, Sealey had decid- ed that he wouldn't go. He had been placed in the care of his son and was in a room in the Gandolfo hotel, and when Stanton went after him he found the door barricaded and was unable to se- cure an entrance. The son would have opened the door, but he was unable to cope with his father, so the officer had to postpone his trip to Phoenix. On a charge of disturbing the peace" "Sealey was taken into custody without much trouble on Tuesday and placed in jail.
 Stanton took the unfortu nate man to Phoenix Tuesday night. He returned Thursday morning, and said the trip was made without special incident.
 Mir. Sealey has been resident of Cibola where he owns a ranch and con- siderable stock. His mental trouble is said to date from an adverse decision in the justice's court some time ago, wherein a Mexican sued him for an al legged appropriation of three head of cattle which, among bunch of his own. were brought by Sealey to Yuma and sold to the butchers. The Mexican was given judgment for the value of two head of the stock, and the decis- ion so preyed upon the mind of Sealy that he became deranged. Befere set ting in Yuma county, Alr. Sealey was prominent citizen of Ventura county, California.
 The case of Sealey is very sad and unfortunate one. He was a good citi- zen, and came to Yuma county with considerable wealth, a great deal of which was expended in the develop ment of the Cibola valley. Financial reverses, worry and hard work have contributed much to his present mental condition. With the care and treat ment which he will receive at the asy- lum it is to be hoped he will rapidly recover his mental equilibrium.

The Troublesome Giia River.

F. H. Newell, chief engineer of the reclamation service, after an inspection of the different government irrigation projects of the Southwest, has issued the following statement in reference to the Yuma proposition:
 "Especial interest attaches to the Yuma project in Arizona and Califor- nia," says Mr. Newell, ''One of ten great national irrigation. works now we'll started, by reason of the unusual physical condition of that section of the Southwest and the somewhat unique engineering problems which are in- voved
 "The Colorado is one of the great rivers of the arid west. It drains an area of more than two hundred and twenty-five thousand square miles. In the flood it's waters carry a solution of millions of tons of silt and detritus, which for ages the stream has deposit ed in the sea, building up a broad delta through which it flows on top of dike, so that it's normal chanuel is elevated considerably above the country on either side. In time of flood it spills over it's dike, inundating a portion of its valley. The engineering works in- volve a dam across the river, canals on both sides of the stream and an exten- sion of levees to protect the lower lands from flooding. The dam known as the Laguna is being constructed about twelve miles above Yuma by New York contractors, and is notable as being the first of it's type built in America.
 ''The Laguna dam will be 47S0 feet long, 19 feet high, with a maximum width of 2S7 feet, and will contain 356,- 900 cubic yards of loose rock. It will rest on a foundation of sand and will weigh approximately S00,000 tons.
 Unprecedented floods the past year have emphasized the importance of safeguarding by the construction of levees, which are required to prevent inundation of valuable lowland areas. The problem is complicated because of the fact that the area to be irrigated is in the drainage basin of two impor- tant streams, lhe GiIa and Colorado rivers, both subject to sudden and tre- mendous floods.
 "The serious nature of the problem which cOnfronts engineers will be ap- preciated when it is known that since the initiation of the work the Gila has twice so changed it's channel and to- pography of the country by cutting out in places and building up in others that resurveys and plans of structure have been made and remade by reason there of Levees are now ready for construc- tion, but until they are completed the uncertainty of the behavior of the Gila renders it unwise to let the work by contract under definite plans, as con- tractors must necessarily be governed by the conditions, and their bids will be made high accordingly. There is urgent need for haste.
 ''Ihe Secretary of the interior, rec ognizing these facts, and upon recom mendation of the board of consulting engineers who investigated the situa- ,tion. has ordered that work be under taken immediately by the reclamation service''

The Leper Gone.

George Pratt, the leper, who was either sent or drifted into Yuma two or three weeks ago, was furnished transportation to New Orleans by the board of supervisors and left for that city on a Southern Pacific train last Saturday. Dr. Duffield of Phoenix, the territorial health officer, investigated the case and learned Pratt had been dis charged from the San Francisco hospi- tai as non-infectious. On the strength of certificate to this effect from the hospital authorities, in addition to certificate of endorsement from Dr. Duffield, the railroad company accepted Pratt as passenger. There is a leper colony at New Orleans, and Pratt was glad of the opportunity to go there. And Yuma was pleased to have him go

Bank Statement Disappointing.

On the contrary, the loan account showed
an expansion of s7205,O0O. although it is
likely that the real position of the banks as
of yesterday would have set forth a reduc-
ton in that item.
On account of the employment of the
average system in making UP the bank
statement, the full extent of the reduction
in that item will probably not appear until
next Saturday. The loss IN actual cash
amounted to s7,904,00o, sum fairly we'll
in line with the preliminary estimates. The
deposit account fell away sSAa, 900, and re-
serves decreased ST 1891 900.
The bank statement accordingly showed
a deficit below the legal requirements of

December of last year. and amounted to
81 ,246,0O0, and previously on November ii,
