REMINESCENCE IF OLD TIMES
 ON BANKS Of COLORADO RIVER

There appears to have been a good deal of the square man about him. He was finely educated and had been a pampered son Of wealthy parents, but one morning in St. Louis. after a protracted debauch, he woke up to find himself penniless. Without a cent
 in his pocket he went to a government recruiting station and offered to enlist as soldier. The recruiting officer was quick to understand the situation and told him he would not enlist him then but if he was of the same minG il the morning following 70 come and he would enroll him. He was there bright and early and was accepted. While serving in the army he reIig- iously saved every dollar possible. At the date of his discharge he had $500 In his purse. He then engaged as wagon master and had eeNtrol of the government trains hauling between San Diego and Yuma. and it was on one of these trips he entered into part nership with Hooper
 In 1851 the mule train across the Saiton desert was superseded by a steamboat from the mouth of the riv. CT. George A. Johnson and com. pany, of San Francisco, secured the contract to deliver freight at Yuma by boat. The company was composed of George A. Johnson, A. H. Wilcox. B. NJ, HartshoTn, the last was a relative of wealthy New York family by the name of Minturn, and financed the en- terprise. Sailing vessels were used to the mouth of the river where the sup plies were transferred to a river boat and delivered in Yuma. As never more than four trips a year were made the boat lay at the river bank most of the time. The captain, pilot, engineer. cook and steward were retained on regular pay and the rest of the crew was paid of. When not in use the boat was used as a hotel and kept a free bar. No man paid a cent for eith- CT board, lodging or whiskey. The of ficers of the post, when not on duty, boozed to their hearts content.
 Whenever word was received from San Francisco that boat would leave there at a given time, orders were sent in for everything that was need. ed. These necessities invariably in cluted barrel of whisky. Free whis- key at the suffers re meant bet ter contracts and less s..ratiny of the goods received.

 The Herman Ehrenberg, mentioned above, was civil engineer and sur yeyed the Colorado City townsite. Ehrenberg, on the Colorado river about 125 miles north of Yuma, was named after him. He was killed at Dos Palms by an Indian. The over land stage station at that place was kept by squaw man This souaw man had had trouble with an Indian and the Indian killed Ehrenberg by mistake, thinking it was the station keeper. It appears that Ehrenberg was on his way up the river from San Diego and stopped at the station over night. As he was not feeling very well the station man gave up his bed to him and that unfortunately led to his death.

BISHOP PAYS BACK
 HIS YEARS SALARY

OMAHA, May 2.-After drawing from the Episcopal diocese a salary of $500 a year for nearly eight years, Right Rev. George Worthington, bish- op of Nebraska, just appointed to the bishopric of the American churches of Europe, has announced that he will return to the church the money thus paid him.
 The announcement came as a sur prise to the members of the diocese when it was read to the annual coun- Gil which Is being held at Trinity Cathedral.
 Eight years ago Bishop worthing- ton asked that there be appointed a coadJutor bishop of the Nebraska dio- cese to have direct charge of the af- fairs Of the church, because of his failing health.

(Tucson Post)

Few people, even among the "old timers" know that there was such thing in the history of Arizona as Colorado City, but such there appears to have been in the long gao. The memory of this dead and forgotten city has ben resurrected by the finding .of some old papers among the effects of some of the principal actors in the days when the Colorado was red in deed as well as in name. This man was Gen. James McPherson. He has long since gone the way of all flesh and his heirs, while prospecting his estate for wealth, uncovered and located a certificate of stock in the dead city. Its assay value however is liable to be nothing more than was the famous find made by the late lamented Peter Kitchen in Sonora. Attorneys in Los Angeles have been engaged by the heirs and the where abouts of the long lost city is being legaly and judically hunted for. To this end the services of Capt. Issac Polhamus were sought It must be borne in mind that Capt. .Polhamus has been on the river for more thar half a century and is familiar with things to which the memory of other men runneth not In an interview with the writer, he stated that in the year of 1854 or 1855. George A. John son, A. + Wilcox, Geo. F. Cooper. l.. J. F. Yaeger, Herman Ehrenberg, Chas. D. Poston. Jack Hinton, and Col. McPherson incorporated city on the left bank of the Colorado, and inclosed within it's corporate limits all the narrow strip of land formerly claimed by California, and as shown by the official plats in the land office of the Surveyor General. This strip was not more than a few hundred yards wide and about eight or ten miles long. Stock was printed and certificates of shares issued. Beyond this. however, nothing appears to have been done towards the perfecting of city gov ernment- Of course, aJ that time, there was nothing on the Colorado but dense and impenetratable growth of brush, so thickly intergrown that nothing but a rattlesnale could work it's sinuous way through it.
 Nearly all the actors in those stir ring times are dead. The Govern ment post, Fort Yuma had out lately been established and there was out one house on inc Arizona side of the river, that in Co - City. It was feet iorg by abc fea. deep,and was eenly divided into four rooms, of which two were occup-ed by the Col orado Steam Navigation Company. as office and storeroom, and two by George H. Cooper & Co. Cooper was at that time, sutler at the post and The Co was young fellow hy the name of Jack Hinton a discharged soldier. He Is said, by Capt Pol hamus to have been a remarkably handsome man and had before the, days of his enlistment, been much given to dissipation. Originally he was from Rhineback, on the Hudson. Hinton was only his soldier name, but this was not learned till after his death by poison some years later at San Diego.

salary paid the bishop and that amount has been paid to him since that time. although he has lived in New York and has in no manner iden- tlhed himself with affairs of the olocese, except as eX-officio bishop. The fact that he drew a salary, how ever. brought storm of protest from
 many elergymeD. The matter has been brought to the attention of the general council of the church and in some quarters it was stated that body would take action.
