ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- duction of corn as this valley along the Colorado River. With alfalfa and corn. the butter, cheese, eggs poultry and pork to be raised on twenty-acre farm will amaze those who have the largest experience in American agricultural affairs.
 The winter climate around Yuma is thing so intoxicatlngly SalubriouS that no words can describe it. These deserts of America. as we have regarded them heretofore, seem to defy the ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The atmosphere
 is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlessly clear, the air mild as possible, and every breath seems to be an inspiration of new life. The United States has an experiment farm on the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma Here results even more marvellous than in the valley are produced Down on the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most delicate vegeta- tiOn. Oranges grown at the Federal expert ment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality.
 Yuma is busy up-todate town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings, three-Story post office building, also of brick, and many other nice structures Among some of the greater improvements which are being made are a S35 900 school building, S75, GOO ice plant fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, larger passenger depot. and the probability of a new courthouse to cost $75,OOO. There is consider able business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibilities of the place. They should at once erect an up-tO- date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation. If atmosphere were only transportabl? like mineral waters and one could send consignments of this Yuma winter air to the East the inspiration Of it's health giving qualities would bring 9, 900 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colorado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by blizzardS and snoWstorms to attract city full every winter The fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part of the people. But with valley full of an intelligent and industrious rural population, producing fruits and vege- tables poultry, eggs. fresh milk and fragrant butter Yuma should be one of the most de- lghtful winter resorts in all America. There is everything there to furnish tourists with the in that region does not drive doctors to seek living elsewhere it will be because the people do not know how to live properly.
 IL will take about three years more to con- plete the Laguna dam, and in ten years from today the attractions Of Yuma as health resort so well known that it will require 5000 in cash to buy single acre of 1t.

 Mir. Nye hired the nag and drove to his friends residence. The lady let him wait nearly an hour before she was ready, and then, on viewing the disreputa- ble outfit, fatly reused to ac- company MT. Nye.

Eugene Field Laughed Last

Francis Wilson tells of an en- counter of wits that took place between the late Eugene Field and New York woman. A skir- mish between the two, at a dln- ner, relative to the respective merits of a we'll known author it would seem that Field came off second best.
 The woman was in evening dress, which was rather decol- lette.
 "Oh, MT. Field, "she exclaimed, you must admit that you are fairly beaten at your own game"
 Field bowed politely, and with a smile promptly rejoined; "At any rate, Miss Blank, 1 have one consolatio1-you can't laugh at me in your sleeve.

A country boy sat on fence cornield. A city chap passing by, remarked. ''Your corn looks kind of yellow" " "Yes, sir, that's the kind we planted, answered the lad. 'It don't look like you'd get more than half a crop" said the city chap. "Nope, we don't expect to; the landlord gets the other half" The stranger hesi- tated a moment and then he quickly ventured: "There isn't much difference between you and fool" " Nope, only a strip of weeds," said the farmer boy; and the city chap drove on.

POSSIBILITIES OF YUMA REGION UNEMPLOYED The Soil Simply Marvellous in Its
 PrOduCtiyeaeSS. And the Climate is lntOxiCatingly
 SaIubriodS.
BY GEORGE w. BURTON, In Los Angeles Times.

It is very far from a semi-mellenium since three little open boats under the flag of Spain first touched the waters of the western hemi- sphere and revealed the New World to the eyes of Europeans. It is only little over century since the United States of America sprang, so to speak, like Palas Athene from the brain of love, q completely armed addition to the family of nations. It is but little over half century since California became part of these United States Of America, and less than generation since the settlement of the Great Southwest began.
 In all the 125 years since the Republic was founded also in the half-century since California became one of the States of the Union, and dur
 ing every year of the last thirty, realization of the vast riches of the American continent, Of the territory of the United States and of this Great Southwest has been more and more as toniShing the minds of men, One would sup pose that by today we knew pretty thoroughly what the undeveloped resources of the Great Southwest might reasonably be expected to be- come. We have not reached the depths of this great ocean of wealth with our plllmmet line yet.
 In a residence of forty years on the Coast, the writer thought he knew a little about what there is on the Coast, and as most of these years have been spent in and around Los An geles, he naturally had little conceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week trip to the Colorado River bottoms, below Yuma, made him feel as tendcrfoot who had come Tn on the last train. New to ilim, this wonderful region and it's possi- bilities are pretty well known to great many readers of The Times by the stories published, if not by the demonstration of their own eyes.
 Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles from where the government is putting in the great Laguna dam. at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers It is twelve miles from Yuma down the river to the Mexican boundary line on the Arizona side of the river. At one point, just below Yuma, the international boundary line runs up along the river, which there takes westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is nnTN fa1rr mil

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call attention once more, and for perhaps the thousandth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the depoSting of this mass of debrIS during all the past ages. Going through the country on the Arizona side of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one en- counters the same type Of country and soil that is found in the Imperial Valley country around Brawley, Calexco and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illinois has aStonished people engaged in asri- culture for nearly 100 years. The fertility of the valley of the Nile has been matter of history for at least O9 years. Those who are familiar with Illinois prairie soil and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture, know that this lower Colorado River region sur passes both of them.
 If you ask farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with aStonishment at your ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether it is 50 feet, 600 or GOOD feet deep. It is practically without bot tom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never balxeS. It is as easily worked as 6 heap of ashes and responds to cultivation in way that is marvellous.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

1 Ages ago, when the mountain ranges of Ari- zona and California lowered toward tre stars, at least twice as high as they do now, rains were very frequent and came down in torrential volumes all along these mountain ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages wassI mighty stream sweeping down debris in tons every second of it's flow. The Colorado sink was at | that time great inland seq, which spread over the country on both sides Of where the river now runs. As the erosion of winds and storms, l landslides and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year, the great river carried down vast amount Of silt erosion from the rocks full of phoSphates lines and disintegrated grantes. as well as the vegetation along it's banks and this was all deposited in what are now the sinks of the Colorado.
 As the mountain tops were worn down the rains became less frequent and less in volume, but the erosion Of rocks and river banks, the trees and vegetable mould torn from the banks still came down and settled into the bottom Of the great inland lake. This geological process went on from age to age to our time leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream about half 6 mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep in the deepest portion
 It is not necessary to remind Californians that the Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river the Colorado because of the reddish color of it's waters. It is the Colorado up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and down past The Needles. But at this time of the year. after passing the mouth of the Gila. instead of the red river tt becomes the brown river It act ualy looks today if 10 per cent of it's flow was silt and only 90 per cent water. The great weight of this mass of liquid impregnated by so much solid makes the cutting of of the flow of the river where the railroad is trying to close the break much more difficult Once chol1ed off, however, the silt will settle around the rocks and make a solid dam for all time to come.

CUT TEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established all experiment statio2 in the heart of this big valley, which is some twenty four miles long, and in spots ten to twelve miles wide down the lower level. The results are wonderful. Last week they were cutting a crop of alfalfa this exper- mental farm, and for ten consecutive months they will cut succeeding crops. The only months when the crop is not cut here are December and January.
 Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest luXuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be noted in d very few years the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying hog raising, the production of poultry and vegetables, which one hesitates to call early or late, as they will be perennial. New potatoes will be produced in the middle of January, tomatoes will be ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be gath cred in the early days of May, and apricots by the middle of the same month. Chickens and turkeys flourish there in the winter time beyond all experience anywhere else.
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three or four times in whole winter With an abundance of green alfalfa and vege. tables in the dry and not oyerheated climate prevailing in the winter mouths, chickens are free from the diseases that make their raising Gi4ic.lt elsewhere Thcre * nc spot iu South
