ON A CASH BASIS.

Captain Meeden, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, in forms the Sentinel that, begin ming January l, 1907, Yuma county will be strictly on a cash basis. The old board, at it's last meeting, to be held Decem- Der 31st, proposes to cash every obligation against the county, so that the new board will start in with a new and clean ledger. This condition of affairs is due to the wise and economical admin istration of the republican board and has not prevailed before in fifteen or twenty years. The commendable action of the board in so reducing county expendI- lures and conducting county af- fairs as to permit the accumula- tion of a surplus and put the county in such a desirable condi- tion should be and is appreciated by the taxpayers. The board as constituted has republican ''ma- jority," but, to the credit of Billy Marvin, the democratic member, he has stood with supervisors Meeden and Donkersley upon every proposition looking to the interests of the county and the property-owners who foot the bills. There is every reason to believe that the new board, which will also be republican, will maintain the same policy and that it's administration will be for the continued welfare ot the county.

BUILD UP.

Yuma is entitled to a larger population and more business than it now has. The location and natural advantages indicate this, but there is lacking the proper spirit of cooperation, as has heen suggested. It is 8 spirit of ambition and energy, If the idle money in Yuma was invested in one of a dozen enter prises that are suitable to this locality there would be an in- crease in business, an increase of money in circulation and an in- crease in property values. This does not mean that every man in town must get into every enter prise. One or two men can push a business to success, and, if it is based on good foundation, it will win, even though the en- tire town does not support 1t. This has been demonstrated In one or two cases.

Reclamation Work.

F. H. Newell, chief engineer of the Reclamation Service, re- turned to Washington recently, after an inspection trip. having examined the condition of con- struction work being done by and under direction of the bur- eau of which he is the head in Arizona, California, New Mexi- co, North Dakota, Montana, Ida ho, Washington and Oregon. In speaking of his trip, MT. Newell had this to say:
 "In general, work is progress ing favorably, and construction has reached 8 point where re- suits can be seen. The chief drawback at the present time is difficulty in securing competent laborerS.
 "There is small army of la borers tramping backward and forward along the railroad lines, the greater part at present being headed, of course, for California and the Southwest in general.
 "The largest work of recla- nation now in hand is the Roose- welt dam in Arizona, the founda- tion of which is now in and is approaching the river level. If the floods in Salt river do not occur for a month or two the foundations which cover about an acre in eXtent-will be above the water level.
 "The Laguna dam, on the Colorado river, near Yuma, is being successfully pushed by J. G. White 6 Co.,, and it's sue cess is now assured through the closing of the break in the Colo rado river"

Dry Farming in the West.

The methods used in Colorado are applicable to the millions of acres which now lie idle in this county. There is grand stretch in the Wallapai valley, begin ming within a mile of Kipgman and running as far east as Hack berry and &S far north as the northern extreme of Red Lake 8 magnificent valley-only await ing scientific farming to be made productive. In all this vast area there is a little farm of 100 acres broken by the blow. Who shall say what the next decade will bring forth? Says our Colorado exchange:
 "How to account for the wheat crops of Colorado and Nebraska is puzzling the crop sharps and agricultural experts. It is true that the rainfall on the plains was somewhat above tbe aver age the past season, but it still fell far below the twenty inches annual average that is regarded as essential for the development and bringing to maturity of fair crop of wheat. Hence, even those who have scoffed at the advocates of dry farming, CT sci entific soil culture, are con- strained to admit that it has been largely instrumental in the production of the record. break ing average per acre.
 "The principles of dry farm ing are simple. The ground is first plowed deeply, and then packed firmly by machinery de- signed especially for that pur- pose. The object of the deep blowing and packing is to thor oughly pulverize the soil, elim- mate the air pockets, increase it's capillary attraction and it's water holding capacity, end place it in proper physical condition for the germination of seed and the de- velopment of plant roots. The sop two inches of soil are then pulverized by repeated harrow ings. forming a soil mulch. The plowed but competed subsoil is the water holding reservoir. It takes the place of the costly dams required for irrigation, The soil mulch is the lid of the reservoir. It is kept SO thor eughly stirred and pulvepized that it is practically nothing but dust. This destroys the capillary attraction and prevents the moisture below from rising to the surface, to be irretrievably lost by evaporation. At the same time, the rains that fall and the moisture from melting snows sink immediately through the loose soil mulch to the con- pacted subsoil, instead of drain ing off the surface. After a rain, as soon as-the soil is dry enough to prevent it from adhering to the teeth of the harrow, it is narrowed and cross narrowed, to reduce it to its former loose and dusty condition. Even after the seed has been planted and the grain is up, this narrowing is persisted in after every rain, un- til the young plants are so large that further cultivation would destroy them. The moisture that has percolated through is thus kept in the subsoil, and the mulch is in condition to receive the next shower.
 "Within an hour after the crop is harvested the subsoil packer and the harrow follow in the wake of the reaper, in order that none of the moisture stored be- low may be lost by evapora- tion.-"Mohave County Miner.

The Waning Power OF TilImaD.

In some Quarters there seems to be evidep'
n nleasure at what seems to be the waning pop
ularity OF Tillman.
That Tillpnan today is one OF the greatest
ifnot the greatest-men in South Carolina
would hardly be denied by any except by an
upreasoning hater. That he should have
anemies is natural. The license element, or
thouse citizens who favor barrooms,will never
forgive him. They will be forever his I'M
placable foes, and he can never hope 10 nave
their friendship. They are not only solldIy
opposed to him. but they seem TO have enlls-
ted the synpathy of many prohibition ISIS
who io,ned In the warfare for bar1oms as
against the dispensary. But leaving out the
mention ofevery cause for change. Tillman's
power with the people 10 not what 1t used to
be. The people have sobered and no onger
blindly do his bidding, but they respect him
even more than in the past and larger mum
ber would trust him more today than ever
before. But change of public opinion always
comes.
RGeorge Washington, for years the idol OF the
country, had lost much OF his popularity
before the close of his career.
In 1875 the people Of South Carolina almost
worshipped Wade Hampton. In 1892 the old
soldier and. patriot was retired from public
service by almost unanimous consent
In 1892 the popular wave for Tilman, except
that for Hampton in 1886. exceeded all pre-
vious records, and 1t would be strange II
Tillman Is not tsuperseded-after awhile.
But the popular waves for a season mean
very little.
The haters of w Washington are forgotten, but
his name stands out conspicuous as without
fault revered and honored.
The names OF those who fought to dlsplace
Hampton will be forgotten long before the
country will cease to be grateful TO the man
who led the fight for Home Rule in 1875.
The name Of B. r. Tillman is indelibly
written on the pages Of South Csrolina's
history, and until the right OF voting in the
paimary, the establishment Of Clemson and
Winthrop Colleges, and the beneficial effects
of the dispenssry system are all forgotten
his name will always be great one In thil
State. No man ever made greater impress
upon South Carolina.

The Bible Society.

The snnivere ary orator Of the BLDG society
being absent at the annual meeting last
Wedpe esday morning, the President, Rev. +.
Y. Pressly, said that he would offer single
thought, and then he touched forcetully upon
the proof Of the existence OF God ana lne IN
spiration OF the Scriptures. The preacner
among other things quoted the words OF
another who said in effect: "The Bible ana
were made by the same Being. The SCRIPT
ures reveal the secrets Of my own heart
which none other than the Maker OF tnat
Book could know"
The Bible, MIR. Pressly said, speaks the
universal language Of the human heart, and
Fin its language is the truth and the proof tnat
none need be dubious about accepting.
Duripg the delivery OF his remarks we were
reminded OF what another said: "Deny that
there is a Supreme Ruler, deny the divinity
of our Saviour, and deny the inspiration OF
the Scriptures, but after denying all this 1t
could not be denied that the Scriptures con-
tain at least the combined wisdom o. all
the ages"
DR.. Pressly contended that the existence OF
God was a self.evident fact. and that TO rs
His words were as a guide for the feet OF the
great and powerful, and for those OF US VINO
could not see far. II was lamp or light oy
which could be seen the successive steps
along the straight and narrow lath.
The attendance upon the Bible Society
meetings have been greatly reduced OF late
years. But there are always a NUMBER OF
fai ithful members and delegates present. In
former years our people look ed forward with
much pleasure to tho annual meetings, and
q large attendance was always here.
DIR. Noel is one OF the delegates who never
fails to come, and he is Jealous in the Bible
cause.
Mr.. R. s. Galloway. manager OF the Associ-
ate Reformed Presbyterian, is another who
never fails to come, and he, like DR.. Neel, Ii
ever ready to work.

MILLER AND KINCART
ARE TAKEN TO PRISON
Convicted Men Removed from Coun.
ty Jail and Put on Train for
Puget Sound.

Portland, Or, July 31.-Harry
w. Miller and Frank Kincart, who
were sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment at McNeil's island, were
taken from the county Jail yesterday
put on the train and started on their
way to the lonely prison on the
sound.
A broken-hearted woman with a
babe on her breast met them as they
descended the jail steps. With pitt.
full cries and tears she threw her
arms around Kincart's neck, clinging
to him as if to hold him back from
the fate that waited him. But there
was no time to lose, she was pushed
quickly aside and with passionate
spoken goodbye she hurried away.
The woman was Kincart's wife
and the babe his child.
Miller and Kincart were keenly
disappointed at being bundled off to
McNeil's island. They had been told
that they would not go for several
days, at least. In fact, they are
pretty confident of something turn
ing up in the way of a motion for a
new trial or some other legal Quip
that would save them from going at
all. They, therefore, took it hard
when they were led from their cells
and Deputy United States Marshal
Bushey appeared to slip a pair of
handouts about the wrists of each.
Bushey hurried his prisoners to the
$3.50 train, on which the three left
for the north.

ALVIN GROVE CANNOT
BE FOUND BY FRIENDS
Niillman of Carus Mysteriously Dis
appeared from Home Last
Tuesday.

Oregon City, Or, July 31.-Henry
May of Carus came into town with a
startling story concerning the dis.
appearance of Alvin Grove, who
owns a sawmill near Carus. Mr..
May states that Grove left the mill
early last Tuesday morning and alb
solutely nothing has been heard of
him since that time. The belief pre-
walls among the employees of the mill
that their employer has committed
suicide, and they have made an eX.
haustive search through the timber
around the mill, but all efforts to
find trace of the whereabouts of
Grove have been fruitless. The
missing man left his personal eff
fects at the mill and went away in
his shirt sleeves as his coat was left
behind He took a razor, but no
strop or soap.
Groves business affairs are un-
derstood to be in good condition
and no motive can be advanced for
his strange and sudden disappear
ance. He was a man of exceedingly
temperate habits and was intensely
religious. His wife and two daugh
ters live in Nova Scotia and he came
here about four months ago, invest
ing in the mill property. He also
owns 100 acres of good timber land
in Clackamas county and 400 acres
in Nova Scotia.
Grove recently had severe fall,
striking on his head, and this may
have affected his mind, though II
was not any way apparent. He was
usually well dressed.
