A Good Business Move.

The action Of the Yuma business men who promoted the organization and subscribed for stock in the Yuma Creamery is one of the most sensible moves that has been made in the in- terest of Yuma and vicinity for many 8 day. Not alone because of the bene- fits. to accrue directly from the opera tion of the creamery, but also because the confidence shown by men who live here, whose interests arc here, in the future of the town and country, will in spire confidence and attract the atten- tion of wide-awake men in other local fties who are looking for new fields of investment. Public spiritedness is one off not the greatest-aids to the growth and real development of any community. It always pays. It is such unity of action and display of genuine interest at home that has boosted many town to the front and make of it a prosperous city. The Sentinel desires to thank the promoters of the creamery enterprise, for their public-spirited work, and express the hope that this will not be the final display of sub- sLantial interest in the welfare of the coming metropolis of Arizona. Con- tinued action along these lines wi'l certainly hasten the ''coming."

Heavy Rains, Bunch up Trains.

The rainy "spell'' which was ushered in by terrific thunder storm, with ruin and wind accompaniment last Wednes- day night, the 10th, and continued in- termittently for nearly week, was general over good portion of Arizona and Southern California. While doing a vast amount of good in freshening and replenishing the parched ranges ard cooling the atmosphere, the heavy rains have played havoc with the rail- roads, causing much delay in traffic by washouts, especially along the Southern Pacific between Yuma and Los An- geles. Terrific cloudbursts washed away or put out Of commission long sections of track, at various points eX- tending all the way from Mammoth Tanks to Beaumont. and West-bound trains were tied up at Yuma for nearly three days, while ai thousand or more workmen were repairing the tracks. Trains hegau moving westward about ? o'clock yesteruay. Train No. A from Los Angeles arrived last night aboht two hours late, and since then the re guar schedule has been resumed and the road is clear. HeaTy rains have fallen also on the watersheds Of the Gila and Salt rivers. but not of sHifi- cient volume to raise the Colorado materilly, as yet. 1t was feared that the river might rise ard interfere with the preparations for closing the intake, which is matter of paramont import ance. So far; however, there has been no hitch in the work, which is progress sing as fast as money and men can push it ahead. The spur track from Pilot Knob to the intake is nearly com pleted, and the machinery is being placed ih the hull of the big drtdge as rapidly as possible. Unless an un< usually high river comes the plans for bringing the Colorado again under con- trol will have been completed within a few weeks. The work of leveeing and closing the intake, dredging out the old channel, etc, will probably require six or eight weeks. But that this will be accomplished successfully there is now no reason to doubt.

The Government Experiment Station
 at Ynma.

Prof. T. H. Kearney of the Agricul- lure department at Washington has been in Yuma for several days talSing observations of the work at the govern ment experiment. station. Sea Island cotton, one of the important produc- tions here, Prof. Kearney finds to be of excellent quality, and present in dications are that the quantity will be quite as favorable. The conclusions reached are that Sea Island cotton will be profitable crop for Yuma valley.
 The probabilities are that more land will be added to the present govern ment tract for further extending ex- perimental work, and that ;t scientific expert will be placed in charge of the Yuma station, with increased facilities for carrying on experiments in various lines of agriculture.
 The town council held a special meeting last night to consider the pro- position of securing additional land fer the government experimental station.
 Upon invitation T. H. Kearney and o. F. Cooke, attaches of the agriculture department were present and Mr. Kearney addressed the council. He said that the department contemplated making the Yuma station the leading one. of the southwest, where the growth and cultivation of the various plants presumably adapted to the agricultural conditions of this section will he studied: attention wonld also be given to the breeding and raising of domestic ani- rnals.
 Naturally a station of the magnitude proposed would require a number ot trained agriculturists, stock men, anC common laborers. A larger track of lanC would be required, and as Mr. KearneJ explained there was no appropriation of government funds with which to buy such land, it was hoped that the coun cfl would devise means to secure th' land without cost to the government. Ccuncilmcn Miller and Alexander were appointed committee to act conjOintl, with o. P. Bondesaon in formulating plans for securing the lamd needed, ans are to report at the next regular meet ing.
 The special meeting and action o She council in this matter, was on tht s5r cbgth of nuElerously signed riti tion presented by o. P. I}ondesson am requesting such action to be taken.

SUICIDE OR MURDER.
Badly Decomposed Body of J. F.. Mann, of Colton,, Cal, Found i:i Willow Thicket.

Did T. r. Mannsof Colton, Cal, com init suicide, or was he murdered? is question which may probably never be certainly answered.
 Bis body, terribly decornposed, was discovered this morning by some boys in thicllet of willows near the Gfla river, southeast of town. The state of decom position was such that the exposed portions of the corpse were covered with maggots. An open pen-knife was lying by his side, which suggested sui eide, but there were no signs of blood, which might however, have been obliterated by the recent rains. The suppositon is hat the man had been dead at least ten days. The position Of the body indicated that the man had gone into the thicket, lain down as if to sleep A vest was under his head and he was lying on his side. Sheriff Livingston, Wh0 identified the remains as those of ;. r. Mann, declares 1t was utterly impossible to deLerminewhether his throat was cut or not, because the face and throat were literally alive with maggotS. No money or valuables were found on his person, which sug- gests that he might have been murder ed and robbed ard the body placed where found The open knife, and the folded vest under the dead mans head, may have been arranged by the murdereis to make plausible the sui eide theory But the truth as to the cause of death will doubtless remain a mystery.
 Sheriff LiTingston's identification of the remains was positive, and became possible through {: letter received from Mrs. E. Terrill, at Cotton, a daughter of the dead man. Mrs. TerriFl wrote under date Of August 16, asking the sheriff to try to locate her father, who slre stated had left Cotton August 1st. She was very much worried as no word had been received from him. She fear ed that he had come here and ''g0ne to drinking," as he was drinking man. She gave a very complete description of her father, mentioning individual characteristics, that could not be mis- taken.
 The letter mentions that they lived in Texas several years, but went to Calif5rnis in December. Her letter in dicates that they were poor, which casts doubt On the robbery theory; although mention is made of a heavy gold watch and ch&in which her father carried.
 The sheriff made a search for the man, upon receipt of the letter, but could not find him, although he found traces of him, and different parties whC had seen Ffim about town and vicinity
 The coronor's jury, after viewing the body and surroundings, were unable tC determine the cause of death.
 The body was buried where it wa: found.
 In response to a telegram, to Coltoh Mrs. TerrilI wired late this evening tt h$ve her fathers remains shipped home. Owing to the condition of the body this does not seem possible.

Of much importance to Arizona is the new irterste commerce law, which will go in effect August 2S of this year. According to its provisions the com mission has jurisdiction over shipments between any two points in the same territory.
 In the old law, first framed in 1887 the commission had no jurisdiction over shipments between two points in the same state or territory. This will be the first time it's authority ex- tends to that limit.
 Perhaps of greatest interest is the provision that makes it impossible to make an excursion rate and put it into
