Esspee Avoids Heavy Grades.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 2.-FOr two years there have been rumors that the Southern Pacific would build from Phoenix westward to a connection with its main line, for the purpose of cutting out grades at present surmounted at heavy expense for power.
 This morning a strong party of engi- neers started work in the outskirts of Phoenix upon the permanent location of the new road. It is to pass through Buckeye and Arlington, across coun- try in the great bend of the Gila river, to strike that stream at Agua Caliente. Thence it will follow down the north bank of the Gila to point about seven miles southeast of Yuma, where the stream will be bridged at very favor able spot and the present main line joined.
 By the new line the heavy grades of Estrella mountain and Mohawk Hill will be avoided and maximum grade of about three-tenths of ger cent se- cured As far as Arlington, fifty miles, farming country will be passed through, as we'll as along the Gila. The present line runs only through desert.
 Long bridges will be needed across the Agua Ifria and Hassayampa rivers and a shorter one on the Gila. The Gila bridge will cross not far from the crossing of the stream by the under- ground conduit of the governments Yuma irrigation project. It has devel- oped that the Southern Pacific has pur- chased all property needed for private right of way out of Phoenix westward.
 Toward the east It is understood that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific have pooled upon the Phoenix and Eastern line, built by the Santa Fe to Winkle- man, on the Gila, distance of 100 miles. Thence only 5 miles re- main to build up the canyon of the Gila to a connection with the reconstructed Gila Valley, Globe aud Northern rail- road, Southern Pacific line which leaves the trunk road at Bowie. From Bowie to Yuma via Phoenix the dis tance is 72 miles less than by the pres- ent route, and there is not hill to climb, the maximum grade being one- half of one per cent. It is believed the main line will eventually be shifted to the new road.

A Church Wedding.

One of the most pretentious weddings in Yuma for some time was that of Walter Bradford of Los Angeles and Miss Lizzie Dyer of this city, which took place at the NJ. E. church last Wednesday evening, Rev. J. M. Ochil- tree officiating.
 The church was beautifully decorat- ed with roses, ferns and smilax.
 While Mrs. Geo. w. Thing sang "Oh, Promise Me-" the bridal couple moved slowly up the aisle, preceded by the flower girl. Aileen Livingston, and Lincoln DeMund, ring bearer, reachA ing the altar as the last notes of the significant and beautiful sung were sung. At the close of the ceremony 8 floral bell under which the bridal couple were standing opened and they were showered with rice. A reception was F Id at the church following the ceremony.
 Mr. Bradford was formerly resident of Yuma, but now holds position with the Southern Pacific Company in Los Angeles. The bride is daughter of Mir. and Mrs. c. c. Dyer of this city, which has been her home for the past ten years.
 Mr. and Mrs. Bradford left Thursday morning for Los Angeles, their future home.

Colorado River Sack in its Old
 Channel.

Imperial. Nov. 2.-True to their promises of few days ago, the engin- eers df the Southern Pacific and the California Development Company this afternoon turned the entire flow of the Colorado river hack into the old chan nel, djverting all the water from the SaltOn depression. To show that the water was under perfect control after the river had been changed back to its original bed the engineers opened the new cement gate and permitted small quantity of water to run through the canal. News of the success of the pro- feet was flashed broadcast over the valley and tonight the inhabitants, thousands of whom had despaired of the recovery of property partly sub merged by previous floods, are rejoic- ing. Plans for fiesta del valle de I'm perial, which until tonight were more or less misty form owing to lack of as- surance that the floods of the upper Colorado would hold off long enough to permit of the completion of the dam- ming process, at once took on renewed activity. Every inhabitant of the val ley is enthusiastically talking of the coming celebration, and already steps are being taken to make it a grand suc- cess.
 Shortly after noon today 1t was an- nounced that 1000 second-feet of water were going down the old channel, 1900 through the Hind dam and 200 through the cement gate. At that time there was some doubt as to the divertiug of the entire flow of the river before to- morrow. Dynamite was brought into use, however, to hasten the deepening the channel between the old river and the cement gate, and before nightfall the work was complete, the channel deep enough to accommodate all the waters of the river, and it was possible to close the gate. It was not deemed wise however, to keep the gate closed, it being desired to use portion of the flow of the river for washing out pur- poses in the vicinity of the Mexican in- take, some miles below.
 New river at Calexico has fallen 8 foot within the past forty-eight hours, indicating the rapid disappearance of that stream; and Alamo river, through which some fears were entertained the l water would break back into the Salton sink. has dropped half an inch. This is not quite as good as had been hoped, but it shows to the satisfaction of the engineers that danger from break is slight, and they predict that the fall of this stream will be much more rapid from this on.-L. A. Examiner.

Hodges New Ferry.

P. B. Hodges new ferry across the Colorado began operations last Friday, and has since been doing a thriving business and demonstrating how badly such an institution was needed. The Arizona landing is at the foot of Gila street. Mir. Hodges has expended something over $250 in improving the approaches to the landings on both sides, the grade on the California side having been greatly reducsd and the roadway widened. Billy HOran's stages on the California side now cross on this ferry, which is the best on the river.

A Year of Blood.

The year 1906 will long be remem- bered in the home of F. N. Packet of Alliance, Ky, as a year of blood; which flowed so copiously from Mir. Packets lungs that death seemed very near.

Pure Gold Seldom Seen.

Pure gold is of one unvarying and un- changing color, but few people ever see such gold. The kind used as money or for jewelry has alloy in it after it is manufactured into the desired article. In medicine, however, there is one remedy that can always be relied on for its purity and that is Hostetter's 6 Stomach Bitters. In its composition is used only the very best and purest in- gredients, and its increasing popularity is proof that the public appreciates this one pure remedy. Therefore we urge you to insist on having Hostetter's with our private stamp over the neck of the bottle. It always cures poor ap- petite, sick headache. vomiting, indi- gestion, dyspepsia, hatulency, female ills, chills, colds or malarial fever. Don't fail to try bottle at once.

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs in dry weather" The virtue of prepara- tion has made history and given to us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be cured much more quickly when treated as soon as it has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds, and it should be kept at hand ready for instant use. For sale at Ketchersides' drug store.

Yuma Has Older Ones,

The Douglas International says that Bisbee has probably the oldest white resident of Arizona-Edward Peck, who came to what is now the territory in 1858. There are two men now living in Yuma who "beat MT. Peck to it" by two and four years, respectively. Capt. Isaac Polhamus came to Yuma (then Arizona City) in 1856 and has lived here ever since. Hall Hanlon, the old- est old-timer, came in 1854 and is here yet, hale and hearty at the age of g.. He came here to work as carpenter, and helped to build old Fort Yuma.
 Capt. Polhamus is I8, in inc best of health, and apparently good for many years to cone.
 The Edward Peck mentioned above is distinguished in another way aside from being an old-timer, in that he dis covered the famous "Peck mine" near Prescott. He sold his twO-thirds inter- est n the mine for S3OO,0O but is said to be poor man today.

Dangerous Fire Narrowly Averted.

Again has the careless smoker and the lighted cigarette stump given evi- dence of their dangerous combination.
 Only for Jim Meadows early visit to the Gandolfo hotel Saturday morning, that fine building might possibly now be a mass of smouldering ruins. A wooden trash box stands in the hail. way near the head of the stairs, and presumably some one had thrown a lighted cigarette stump into it Friday night. Meadows had occasion to go up the stairway Saturday morning, early, and discovered the fire just beginning to blaze. He hurriedly secured 8 bucket of water from the back porch and with the help of Billy Marvin soon had the blaze extinguished. A hole about foot square was burned through the fOOa.

San Diego-Yuma Railroad.

The long-talked-of and many-times- projected railroad from San Diego to Yuma has taken a new impetus. A dispatch of recent date from San Diego says: "The petition asking the city attorney to draft such legislation, state and municipal, as may be necessary for the bonding of the city for S5, ,00, 900 for the construction of a standard gauge railway from San Diego to Yuma has been granted by the council. A con- stitutional amendment may be neces- sary, and considerable law will have to be made at Sacramento for it.'

Bold Attempt at Robbery.

Daylighr robberies are not common in Yuma, but there was attempt at one last Sunday morning that was the bold est reported in some time. Two Mexi- cans entered Darling's Bargain Store on Second street, and while one en- gagged the proprietor's attention the other took four watches out of the show case. MT. Darling saw the fellow put ting them in his pocket and grabbed him by the collar, stripping the coat from his back. Both MeXicans ran, leaving the coat and plunder behind them. Henry Wupperman saw the tusselling, and on learning what had transpired hunted up the Sheriff, who with Mir. Wupperman's assistance soon located the thief and arrested him. The other one escaped,

An old Timer Pays Yuma a Visit.

Henry Weegar, whom few Of the oldest settlers will remember, dropped into Yuma few days since from his home in San Diego. Mir. Weegar left Yuma twenty-six years ago. In the 'TOs he was one of the head clerks for Win. B. Hooper & Co.,, who at that time had perhaps the largest store in Arizona. The firm name was, later, James NJ. Barney & Co.,, MT. Barney being the junior member of the first named firm. The big store was on the present site of the GandOlfo hotel.
 Mir. W eegar is of course very greatly impressed with the wonderful changes that have naturally come with quar- ter of a century's development, which has left but few familiar landmarks.
 Mrs. Weegar accompanies her hus- band and they are visiting their daugh- ter, Mrs. Geo. Thing, SO well and ia" vorably known as singer. At the conclusion of their visit here Mr. and Mrs. Weegar will visit friends in Tue son and Phoenix.
