cirY COUNCIL.
Much in Prospect and Very Little 90.
ing ., Meeting Of City Fathers.

There was quite furry around
the city hall previous to the regular
meeting Of the city dads last Mon
day night. Street railroad mag
mates. proprietors of thirst par!ors,
doctors and lawyers, and minor rep
resentatives of the world, the flesh
and the devil were in evidence. and
all appeared to be in an expectant
mood. 1t looked to the newspaper
scribe as though it was going to be
a good session for something newsy
and sensational. but it proved disap-
pointing. There was almost moth
ing doing. everything having been
fixed satisfactorily to all parties
concerned before the council con-
vened. The newspaperman was
probably the only one disappointed,
however. every one else being emf
nently satisfied as soon as they ascer-
tanned that everything went through
according to programme.
Mayor Barr presided at the muni
cipal feast. and all of the aldermen,
with the exception of Inge. who is
still on the sick list, were present.
Under the head of communications
report from Edward c. Hill. state
chemist, was read. giving an analy-
sis Of the sample of water sent in
from l.. \. Roland's ranch. nine
miles south Of La Junta. The report
showed only thirty-one grains of
solids. and in the opinion of the
chemist "the water is very pure. the
only slight excess being in chlorin.
and this is probably of geological
origin" The chemist further ad-
vised that IF you start new water
plant l should recommend, by all
means to have number Of filter
beds as being the best protection
against infection"
The matter Of repaifing the water
main pipe in the arroya near the
pump house was referred to the city
engineer with power to act.
Under the head Of reports Of of.
ficers Alderman Kirkpatrick. Of the
street and alley co1gnittee. said that
during four daysRweed eradicat-
ing campaign about one-half the
town had been cleaned up. He
further reported that some property
owners exhibited supreme indiffer-
-ence in the matter Of cleaning up
their own premises. and advised
that some stringent measures be
adopted to force them to clean up
especially in vacant lots where the
weeds were higher than the back Of
a horse. The matter was referred
to the city attorney with instruc-
tions to draft an ordinance making
it compulsory for property owners
to clean up their premises.
At the last meeting Of the city
council the city attorney was in
structed to draft an amendment to
the ordinance regulating saloons.

DAYS ARE NUMBERED

that the engineers of the Southern
Pacific were at their wits ends to find
laborers enough to carry out the
rougher work of conquering the run
away river and forcing it back into
its old channel. They finally, in add.
ton to large body of Mexican cholos,
thought of the Cocopahs, and strong.
er, Drawer, steadier lot of men were
not to be found at the Colorado-Imperi-
al works than this remnant of once
numerous Mexican Indian tribe. They
established village of some 500 souls
on the Colorado's banks, nine miles
below the city of Yuma, where they
have not been slow to show what typi-
cal Cocopah Indian life really is, with
all it's bright colors, gaiety and
gambling-for the Cocopah, with all
qualities, is born gambler, and will
stake not only his last cent. but his
only horse at the gaming table.
The Indian village extends along the
river bank for nearly three-quarters of
mile, while others dwell in regular
Indian huts of time-honored pattern.
These huts are constructed of cotton
wood poles fixed in the ground, being
matched all over with willow and ar
row weeds. Several of the huts are
kept specially for gambling, and a
good part of the liberal wages paid
them by the Southern Pacific COM
pany for their hard work at the Mex
inf ~, In,
Indian gambling hells. On Sundays
and other holidays, the village is a
sight well worth visiting.
The hair of the Cocopahs is long
and black, and shiny enough for a
mirror. In it are stuck variegated
feathers, of the eagle and other local
birds, while their bows are equally
gaudy and artistic. Their bows are in
purple and yellow, and ever and anon
one in yellow. Thus attired, and be-
spangled with color, the Cocopah
bucks and bellies of the village rush
about, day in and day out, old and
young, men and women, all seemingly
oblivious of the flight of time or the
seriousness of life, absorbed in the
mad whirl of the fiesta, dancing, sing
ing, yelling, eating and sleeping.
Yet the Cocopah, as indicated above
is not weakling, either mentally or
physically. He is well formed, of me-
dunn height, and not at all repulsive
in the face. Under the right modes of
living, there is so much of solid quail
ity in his race that, like the Indians of
Green Bay Wis, who have doubled
their numbers within century, they
too, might perpetuate themselves and
increase their kind In course of time.
Those who have deceived are sch
dom believed.

ADMIRAL PREPARING TO SAIL
HIS FLEET TO PACIFIC.
What II Means to Prepare the Bio Bat.
tleships for a $4,000 Mile
Dash Around South
America.

The work of preparation for the a..
VVo mile trip around South America is
prodigious, and Rear-Admiral Robley
ID. Evans has had no idle DAYS since
Secretary of the Navy Metcalf. on
July last, gave the first official an.
nouncement of the plan to centralize
the navy in the Pacific. II will be the
most spectacular feat in the history of
the American navy, and is scheduled
TO take place this winter. beginning
about the middle of December. Six.
teen battleships, under the command
OF Rear-Admiral Evans, and a flotilla
OF six destroyers, will steam around
South America, passing through the
Strait OF Magellan, thence up the Pa.
cific to San Francisco, where they will
join the squadron now off the west.

cific fleet the most powerful ever as.
sembled under an American flag.
thence possibly to Puget Sound and
on to the Philippines and, II present
reports are reliable, through the Suez
canal back to Atlantic waters.
1t was in this month 3S7 years ago.
according to the historian, when the
adventurous Magellan, in quest of a
western route to the Spice islands,
pushed his little feet into the narrow
strip of water separating the islands
of TERRA del Fuego from the southern
extremity of the South American con-
tinent What would the first Euro
pean navigator of the Pacific think
could he witness the passing through
the strait of the magnificent array of
floating fortresses, which is to take
place in few months?
There Is no question of the benefit
20 the navy in general apart from the
direct practical results of the long
cruise for the ships that will compose
the fleet. Already there is rush
to join the navy, and that department
Is no longer in need of such an ex-
tensive system of advertising as here
tofore to secure recruits.
Then, too, the public Is going to
take an interest in the navy after it
starts on the long cruise. The Amer
.can men-ofwar will touch at many
foreign ports, and there will be re-
ports of numerous diplomatic proceed
Tres in connection Herewith that will
add to the news-making features Of
The trip. National interest in such a
cruise was aroused to its greatest
pitch in the case of the Oregon in
1898, when Capt. Clark brought his
famous battleship around from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic to join in the
movements against the Spanish.
