Sewage Evil To Be Corrected.

At last the city fathers have taken it upon themselves to d. somewhat for
 for the noloriously bad sewage condi-
 tion and matters seem actually under
 way to correct the long standing nuis- ance and public evil which has en- dangered life and property in this city
 Alta meeting held Tuesday night the council authorized the mayor to build a stump at the foot Of Main street to hold the sewage overflow when the river is at hige tide so that the overflow may be pumped from this stump over the levee into the river. It is believed by the council that this will relieve the pressure and that the stump will collect the sewage which heretofore has run loose in the streets when escn ping from bursted pipes.
 The council has also leased from the Southern Pacific the right of pipe line from East Main Street to a point below the river bridge so that the sewage will always be dumped below the intake far 4nough to prevent it from being return ed by any eddy or current. This is de- ,ianed to protect the water supply from Grther cGntGminatio n. It is to be l loped that these plans will be put iuto practice and that they will )roye effectual.

VALLEY NOTES

Air. w. J. I.Cchaby, who has been al
 work in California, returned to his
 home late this last week He can by way of imperial, locking up the canta- loupe business. All were glad to see Mir. Locaby, and hope that business will be such that he and others away at work can be on their ranches all the time.
 Mir. .Iohansen was down at his home stead one day this last week.
 The big thresher run by Mir Marrs, will do the treshing in the lower valley. Milo maize is the only grain to be threshed.
 Mir. Morris brought sight-seers into the lower valley last week.
 It is with pleasure that we learn that Mir. John Williams is doing so well in his business in Yuma. Mr. Williams was formerly one of the lower valleyites.
 MT. Asa Houghton of Palo, Missouri, arrived in Yuma last Saturday. He is visiting Mir. R, H. TneiImann, an old time friend of his father and mother. Mr. HOughton will remain all winter.
 School books are still needed. Where lies the trouble? This lack of books works detriment to pupil and teacher
 The cantaioupe enterprise is the all absorbing topic at present. While the lower valley can not yet hope to raise melons, many will go to the upper val ley to engage in the culture. We have the best land for such crops, but the lack of permanent water is the detri- ment. Mir. Cranes success the past two seasons shows what can be done. He says his success is due to following the directions of Prof. Forbes.
 Prof. Forbes work is such that every rancher should samIliarize himself with | the scientific methods that are used at the Experiment. Farm. Results are what we are looking for, and the quality of the cantaloupe at the Farm were superior.

PLANS FOR TIE NEW
 SCHOOL BUILDING.

On every hand the mem bers of the
 city school board are receiving con-
 gratulations on the excellent plans
 adopted for the new school building
 which will be finished June l. As sLat-
 ed previously in the .tinel it ecsls
 ten per cent more to build in Yuma in
 the summer than in the winter and the
 work is not so satisfactory. Therefore
 the delay has been for the best all
 around. Only half Of he big building 1 block will be used at this time and the
 remainder will be left for such time as
 the city cares to build other school
 buildings or cares to grade and improve
 the property for school yard purposes.
 The sight of the new building fronts on Second avenue, being on the Third street side of the block between Third and Fourth streets.
 The building will seat 400 children with comfort, containing eight rooms and occupying floor space of 154x13l feet. The plan for heating is the latest known for school purposes and this will be the only school building in Arizona having this modern and delightful system. It is one of fresh air which is forced through ;t furnace room into pipes which carry it beneath the build ing to each separate room and which so operates as to give complete change of air in each room every twelve min utes. In summer this fresh air is fore ed through dripping water instead of furnace heated room and this reduces the temperature of the school rooms from five to ten degrees, giving the same change of air constantly. This is ideal for ventilation and will safeguard the health of the children as no other plan ever used. | The fresh air enters the furnace room | seven feet from the floor and in the same opening is an exhaust funnel through which the devitalived air is expelled. The buildings roof will be galvanized iron so made as to perfectly initiate old Mission tiling, a conception emphasized by painting the material day red. The Board adopted the Mission Style of architecture as espec- ally suited to this land of romance. They will ask for bids on both brick md stucco. Brick, if used, will be ,lastered. Stucco is wood covered by a cement in which no lime is employed. :. $. Allen of Pasedena is the archi- : ect of the design. When it is finished tun1a will have school building which as no superior in Arizona and for its iZe none in the west.
