President s Report Shows Increased
Attendance, Faculty and
Buildings.

The large growth of the University
of Wisconsin, as shown not only by the
increased attendance, but also by the
additions to the faculty, the new build
ings erected, and the more complete
equipment of departments of instruc-
ton, forms an important part of the
biennial report of President Charles R.
VanHise to the board of regents just
issued. A comparison of the student
enrolment for the two years past shows
an increase of 422 for the period, the
growth for the first year being from
3, Isl to 3, ,342, and for the second year
an increase to 3, ,571. The most marked
growth was in the college of agricul-
ture, which more than doubled it's at
tendance in the two years, and in the
college of letters and science, which
gained 267 students. The graduate
school, which for number of years
had made no gain in enrolment, has,
in the past two years, grown from ll5
to 161 students for the regular college
year. If the graduates taking summer
session work are added, the enrolment
is increased to 228 for the year 1904-5.
and 298 for the year 1866. Statistics
for the summer session enrolment also
show a creditable growth, there being
403 students in 1904, and 528 the next
wear, an increase of 125 students.

CALLED AND QuIzzED
L. Z. NcGill Was Under Examination
on Thursday.

The libel suits in which L. E. McGill
is plaintiff, bid fair to throw some
light upon the management and failure
of the old First National bank.
C. c. Coe, attorney for the News,
was up Thursday morning and examin-
ed McGill under the discovery statute.
The questioning covered many of the
transactions of the two concerns of one
of which McGill was vice-president, di
rector and attorney and of the other
president an secretary. On material
questions McGill was very hazy. in
fact appears not to know much of any
thing about the transactions of either
of the institutions of which he was a
principal officer.
The examination was adjourned to
such time as the records of the bank
can be secured to determine whether
McGill was a director who directs or
one on paper only, and whether his
knowledge of these mstters is as linn
tied as he would have it appear to be.

The Trouble at the Stove.

Dr. c. A. Lamson of New Lon don, says the Boston Herald, while at school at Andover, N. H., with several other boys, att tended a campfire of the C.. A. R.. at Wilmot. It was several de- grees below zero, and the stove was red hot when a veteran named Chase came in. He was 2 large man and very bow-legged. As he stood by the fire Doc, " as he was always called, stepped up and slapped him on the back, saying:
 "Please excuse me, but I fear you are standing too near the stove."
 The veteran looked at the stove, then at his clothes, and said:
 "Did you think, young fellow. that my clothes were burning?"
 No, sir; but I saw that your legs were warping," was the reply.

 q think it's shame that you have not spoken to your wife for fifteen years. How do you ex- plain it? How do you justify it?"
 That poor man said;
 "I didn't want to interrupt her."

A Lively Funeral.

Evansville, Ind.-By the ex- press direction of w. F. C.. Schneider, an old soldier, the band played ''A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" and "Ach, du Lieber Augustine" over the grave at his funeral today. Fol lowing the funeral ceremonies, the friends of the deceased were brought from the cemetery to an up town saloon and there treated with beer at his expense.
 Prompted by curiosity, a great crowd filled the modest little un- dertaking shop where the fune ral services were held. Hun dreds of people, attracted by the peculiarity of the event, fol- lowed the band to the cemetery, while "SO Long, Mary" "Down Where the Wuerzberger Flows" and Mot Because Your Hair Is Curly" made the occasion seem like picnic.
 Schneider, a few days before his death, placed S200 in the hands of one of his friends, Gus Schindler, and left written direc- tions how it should be spent.

"NO HARTMAN IN MINE"
 SPRECKLES.

John D.Spreckles of San Diego
 was in Los Angeles just long
 enough yesterday to deny that
 he had bought the Cuyamac& & Eastern road; that he had formed no agreement with Hartman looking toward an outlet for his San Diego 6 Eastern road after it is built from San Diego to
 Yuma; that his road will be built inside of two years, and that San Diego will have direct cOnnec- tions with the east; that the San Diego -Cuyamaca has been sold, but to whom he does not know, and that San Diego is a hum ming city.
 After hurried luncheon at the Alexandria hotel with Harrison Albright, the Los Angeles archi- tect, Mir. Spreckles made these statements to an Examiner re- porter and hurried away to catch a train for San Francisco.
 "Yes, the San Diego, Cuya- maca 6 Eastern road has been sold, but whether General Sher- man and his associates have pur- chased it for Mr. Hartman can. not say" said MT. Spreckles. But it is certain that the Spreckles interests have not bought it. It might be possible that the road will be made a part of the Los Angeles Pacific sys- tenn and extended on to Los An geles, but of this fact 1 have no knowledge whatever.
 "About the San Diego 6 East ern? Oh, our plans are matur- ing nicely. We will have the road built from San Diego to Yu-a in two years. We have not figured on eastern connec- tions from Yuma yet, but 1 can positively say we have not tied ourselves up with MT. Hartman or any other man. We may build our own line from Yuma on to Chicago, and then again we may make a through arrangement with the Rock Island or some other road. But these things will not be decided for some time to come"

ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- duction of corn as this valley along the Colorado River. With alfalfa ard corn, the butter, l cheese, eggs poultry and pork to be raised o1 q twenty-acre farm will amaze those who have the largest experience in American agricultural affairs.
 The winter climate around Yuma is thing so intoxicatlngly saluOrious 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 evep more marvellous than in the valley are produced Down on the lower levels there arc 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 a busy, up-to-date town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings, three-story post
 
 nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made are 1855 900 school building, a S75, GOO ice plant fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depot, and the probability of a new courthouse to cost s75,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 transportabls 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 D 0OO tourists every winter to the banks of the Colorado River

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- lightful winter resorts in all America. There is everything there to furnish tourists with the most hcalthful and delicious food, and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek a living elsewhere, it will be because the people do not know how to live properly.
 It will take about three years moro to con- plete the Laguna dam, and in ten years from today the attractions Of Yuma as health resort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require 5000 in cash to buy single acre of it.

POSSIBILITIES OF YUMA
 REGION UNEMPLOYED. The Soil Simply Marvellous in Its
 PrOduCtiyeneSs. And the Climate is IntOxiCatingIy
 Sd!ubriOuS.
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 alittle over century
 since the United States of America sprang, so
 to speak like PallaS Athene from the brain of
 love, a completely armed addition to the family
 of nations. It is but little over half a century since California became a part of these United States of America, and less than a 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 ufen One would SUD- 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 plummet line yet
 In residence of forty years on the Coast, the writer thought he knew 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 coneeit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week trip to the Colorado River bottoms, below Yuma made him feel as g tenderfoot who had come Tn on the last train New to him, this wonderful region and it's possi- bihties 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 q westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago, when the mountain ranges Of Ari-
 zona and California lowered toward the stars, at least twlce as high as they do now, rains were very frequent and came down in torrental volumes all alorg these mountain ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages was 8 mighty stream, sweeping down debris in tons every second of it's flow. The Colorado sink was at that time great inland sea. which spread over the country or both sides of where the river now runs. AS the erosion Of winds and storms landslideS and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year, the great river carried down 8 vast amount of silt, erosion from the rocks full Of phosphates. Times and disntegrated granites, 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 stream about half mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep in the deepest portion.
 It is not necessary to remind CaiifornanS 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 iii 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 it becomes the brown river It act ually looks today as if 10 per cent of it's flow 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 solid dam for all time to come.
