A YEARS ON THE COLORADO
 RIVER
Veteran Captain Mullen Has Been Navigating the Rapids From Yuma for Nearly Half a Century Still at It.
Especial to Review.l

PHOENIX, June 26.-Forty-four years ago Captain John Mullen came to Arizona. stopping at Yuma, where he at once entered the employment of the Southern Pacific and began navigation of the Colorado river, a service he has continued to the pres ent day.
 During all these forty-four years, dating from 1863. Captain Mullen has piloted big. flat-bottomed, stern-wheel steamers, several of which he planned and. designed.
 Captain Mullen returned to Yuma last night after stay of two days in Phoenix, during which he was the guest of ex-District Attorney and Mrs. A. c. Baker.
 When Mrs. Baker came to Arizona in the early days from San Francisco to oin her father at Yuma, Captain Mullen was in charge of the river steamboat that carried her from the Gulf of Lower California to Yuma
 Few men are better known in the southwest than Captain Mullen, and few men know the early history of this section as he does. He has every important event. down to the minutest details. at his fingers ends, and Is generally in a reminiscent mood.
 From 1879 to 1885 Captain Mullen navigateld the Colorado river for 1G2 miles through the swift rapids that make that part of the river forbidden ground to any but the hardest of nav igators.
 To IAlke it possible to get one of the big river boats to the property of the Southwestern Mining company which was then operating a rich sil- yer mine. Captain Mullen during the lower water vert through the rapirs and put rig bolts into the big boul- ders
 To these bolts cables were attach ed and during the high water the big boats were windlassed over the pad ids. It took seventeen hours to go up the river a short distance, the trip down over the same distance be- ing made In three hours.
 Few people in Arizona know that Yuma was once considered part of California, San Diego county collect ing taxes there. On one occasion the San Diego tax collector was thrown into jail and kept there until released on bond. Captain Mullen says that San Diego never sent another col iector to Yuma.

 Professor Ravenstein of the Royal Geographical society estimates that the fertile lands of the globe amount to 2S.oo0Oe0 square miles, the ste9pes to 100000 and the deserts to 1000 GOO.
 Fixing POT rersons to the square mile for fertile lands, ten fer steppes and one for deserts as the greatest pcpula- tion that the earth could properly nourish. the professor arrives at the conclusion that when the number of inhabitants reaches about COCO COG. COG the earth will be peopled to it's full capacity. At present it contains some what more than one-quarter of that number.
 If the rate of increase shown by the latest census statistics should be uni formly maintained. Professor Raven stein shows that the globe would be fully peopled about the year 2072.- New York Tribune.

TRAGIC FATE OF
 Fl PAS0 LINEMEN


 The history of two boys who left their Mississippi home and came west to make a home for themselves is the skein through which is woven & nu- man interest story that Is both toucn- ing and tragic. says the El Paso Her aid.
 Burreil Rogers. the line foreman who met his death while working on primary in Juarez and Morgan liar viii. the Southwestern telephone line man who was Killed by coming in con tact with a crossed wire were both from Meridian Miss. and were boy hood friends together. Rogers came west soon after he was of age and went to work first for the Fl Paso dairy and then for the street railway company as iineman. Haryill. en- couraged by the letters ne received from his companion, came here in 1904, and has been working for the Southwestern Telephone company.
 Although working for different com panies the two men were fast friends and when Rogers met his tragic death, strapped to the top of a telephone pole, his old friend was one of the first to reach him and to try every means of bringing life back into the body.
 Harvill, as well as his fellow work men, was deeply impressed by the death of Rogers and all realized more fully than ever before the great risk they were working under and the dan ger of their meeting a fate similar to that of their friend. So strongly did this fact impress itself on them that Ial f.,h cfa gas printed that would be both a tri- bute to their deceased companion and a constant reminder to themselves with the leyeler of all human desti- nies.
 Harvill and three other of his fellow workmen with whom he had discussed such plan, decided to put it in ope- ration. and together they composed a short poem in which they told of their esteem for their departed companion and the danger to be encountered each day by the men on top of the telephone pole Harvill took the rough copy to a local printing com pany and arranged to have a number of cards struck of. These were 10 be distributed by the linemen among their friends
 Before the printer could get the copy set up the deadly primary had claimed another victim-Harvill him. self-and the sentiment that was ex- pressed in the verses took an addi- tional significance by the death of the writer. The verses were called "Only Lineman" ana companions of Harvill have arranged to have them printed and will distribute them among the friends of the two Missis- sippi boys who came west to meet their fate rather than to make their fortune. These are the verse:
