i 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 a
 twenty-acre farm will amaze those who have
 the largest experience in American agricultural
 affairs
 | The winter climate around Yuma Is a 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 cloudlessiy 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 1 and January. but on the mesa the breath of l frost never touches the most delicate vegetae ton. Oranges grown at the Federal expert ment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality
 Yuma is busy, up-to-date town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings, three-StOry post office building, also of brick, end many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which being made are a $35 000 school building, S'5, GOO ice plant fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, larger passenger depot. and the probability of new courthouse to cost 5,GOO. 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 transportabl9 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 25 900 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 fuli 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 a valley full of an intelligent and industrious rural population, producing fruits and vege- tables, poultry, eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butler, Yuma should be one of the most de- lightful winter resorts in all America There is everything there to furnish tourists with the most healthful and delicious food, and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek Q living elsewhere, it will be because the people do not know how to live properly.
 It 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 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.

To Prevent Their Falling Tn.

The Dutch peasant lives with canals all about him, and reaches his cottage by way of a draw bridge. Perhaps it's in the blood of Dutch child not to fall into a canal. At all events the Dutch mother never appears to antici- pate such a possibility. One can imagine the average English or American mother trying to bring up 8 family in a house surround ed by canals. She never would have d minutes peace until the children were in bed. But then the mere sight of a canal to the English child suggests the de- light of a sudden and unexpected bath.
 An Englishman inquired of a Dutch woman: "Does a Dutch child by any chance ever fall in to a canal?"
 "Yes," she replied, leases have been known"
 "Don't you do anything for it?' continued the questioner.
 "Oh, yes, she answered, Eve haul them out again."
 "But what 1 mean is," ex- plained the Englishman. "don't you do anything to prevenG their falling into save them from falling in again?"
 "Yes," she answered, "we spank them"

The Prescott Courier quotes approvingly, no bt,-these remarks from the New York Herald 'Insthis country labor cannot remain half slave and half free. If Union men are to remain free to organize and to agitate and to quit work if their demands are not complied with, then other workmen must be equally free to step out of organ izations and to sell their labor where and. when and on what terms are acceptable to them selves. Unless this right is maintained, and at. any cost, our institutions are doomed and free popular government must be pronounced a failure" If these are the views of the Courier our Prescott contemporary is to be congratulated. The doctrine here enunciated must form the very basis of American industri- al life, and if the press generally would fearlessly advocate such views the influence of agitators would be greatly curtailed.

The average housewife has be- gun to make life a burden to the other inmates of the household. She has a rag tied around her head and is wading into the dirt in a way that makes your head swim.

POSSIBILITIES OF YUMA
 REGION UNEMPLOYED. The Soil Simply Marvellous in Its

 SaIabriOaS.
BY GEORGE ". BURTON, In Los Angeles Times.

It is very far from standardization since three little open boats under the flag of Spain first touched the waters of the western hemi- sphere end 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 PallaS Athcne from the brain Of love- a completely armed addition to the family of nations. It is but little over half d century since California became part of these United States of America, and less than q 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 las been more and more as tonishing the minds of men. One would sup pose that by today we knew pretty thoroughly what the undeycloped resources of the Great Southwest might reasonably De 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 conceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week trip to the Colorado River bottoms below Yuma, p1ade him feel as a tendcrfoot who had come in on the last train. New to him, this wonderful region and it's poss- bilities are pretty well known to a 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 tho 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 6 westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

INVESTIGATE COTTON
 SEED BAG SITUATION
Arkansas and Mississippi Planters Meet in Memphis to Consider Al. leged ExOrbitant Prices
 Charged Shippers.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. With the view of formulating plans to relieve the dissatisfaction regarding the cot ton seed bag situation, a large dele gation of planters living in Arkansas and Mississippi met at the Hotel Gay- oso this morning. A committee was appointed to investigate the situation thoroughly This committee, compos- ed of E. L. Blass of Norfolk, Miss; P. L. Peters of Cat Island, Miss, and MT. Kackler of Seypells, Ark. will report at the next meeting, which will be held in Memphis Monday morning. FsH
 For some time, planters claim, they have been forced to pay exorbitant prices for cotton seed bags, and that when they shipped seed to oil mills in Memphis territory they were only allowed about $1 additional for sack on a ton of seed, which they claim amounted to 50 cents or $1 less than the cost of the sacks.

CLEGG AND RIDER
 BREAK JAIL Two White Men Charged With Forgery Spring Lock With Wire and Bat. tered Out Bricks in Wall
Believed to Have Left the City-Po. lice, Half Block Away. knew Nothing of Jail Breaking-Hos Escape Was Accomplished.

i Bob Clegg and Jack Rider, two
 white men, both of whom were in l the county jail awaiting trial on for gery charges, dug their way out of
 the Jefferson county jail this morn. ing at an early hour and up to a late
 hour this afternoon Sheriff Philpot
 and his force of deputies had mo clue as to their whereabouts. A re-
 ward of $50 each has been offered by Sheriff Phiplot for their capture The jail delivery was not discover ed until about 6 o'clock this morning, 1 when Jailer~ Tom Meeks~ made his usual morning inspection of the cells and interior of the jail building. He was startled to find big hole in the south wall of the jail building and to find Bob" Clegg and Jack Rider missing.
 An investigation revealed the fact that the men, who were not locked in cells, but were permitted to. parade the hallway during the warm nights, used a wire to spring a lock" on one of the big, heavy iron doors that lead from thea>interior of the jail to the outside hallway, which is around the cells on the second floor. After freeing themselves there they used a large piece of iron to batter out the bricks in the south wall, making an opening large enough for them to crawl through. This accomplished and outside, they easily climbed the high iron fence that surrounds the jail. Notwithstanding the fact that the jail is but half block from po- lice headquarters, the men made their getaway with ease. It is believed that both left the city during the night Clegg was recently bound over to await the action of the Jefferson county grand jury on a charge of passing a check at the Leverenz-Tru. lock shoe house. He was under sen- tence pending good behavior for 8
 
 He was unable to give bond and was committed to jail to await trial. Rider passed a worthless check on the Anderson-Bacon Drug Company some weeks ago, after having secur, ed the blank check from Clem Far Tar, of the Baker-Farrar Company. He was arrested and jailed the same day upon which he passed the worth less paper and within few days was bound over by local justice oi the peace to await the action of the grand jury.
 R. A. Suit, another white man charged with forgery and in the Jef- ferson county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury, was in the hallway with Clegg and Rider, but was asleep and the successful jail breakers did
 not awaken him when they made | their quiet departure. He was found in the jail this morning by Jailer Meeks, ignorant of the fact that he could have easily made his escape during the night.

AUTO ACCIDENT
 0N MAIN STREET Reverend w. ID. Buckner, Rector of Trinity Church, Unfortunately Runs Down Two Visitors
HURT REWARD FOR CAPTURE
Men We're Trying to Avoid Bicycle When They Ran in Front of the Big Car-D0 Not Blame Doctor Buckner-Unavoidable Accident.

While driving an automobile north on Main street, crossing Third avenue at rate of speed not exceed ing five miles an hour, Reverend w. D. Buckner IL. D. of this city was unfortunate enough to strike two SlavOnians. The men were standing in the middle of the street talking at the time and Doctor Buckner footed the horn" four or five times but to avoid being run -oyer--by a bicycle which came by, they jumped into the way of the automobile The machine was on the extreme right side of the street and, accord ing to an eye witness of the acci- dent, really no one was to blame, it being one of those unavoidable things that sometimes happen.
 Fortunately the men were not seriously injured, as was first thought. If the men had remained where they were, the accident would not have occurred. Just as the machine approacred, they Jumped in front of it. Doctor Buckner stopped the machine within it's length, and Immediately summoned medical at tention, where the wounds of the two men were dressed and other wise cared for They were given attention in the Office of Doctor o. w. Clark. The mems names are Frank Zagar and Frank Klapac.
 The men intended to be in this city for short time only, being on their way from Rison to Dumas. They have been in the employ of the American Land and Timber company at Rison for some time but had finished their work at that place and were going to Dumas to engage in similar labor.
 They had just left Kastor and Bluthenthal's store and had started for the Brookhill Hotel where they are boarding while in the city. The party consisted of six Slavonians only one of whom could speak En- glish, the others speaking Polish. There are large number of men of this nationality employed at DN. mas and it was to join their coun- trymen that brought them through this city. One of the men had a check fir $500 and both both had other valuables.
 When seen the men admitted that Doctor Buckner blew the horn but they did not know what to do. They have no hard feelings towards Doc tor Buckner ht,aysye, ,mfwyplm gkj tor Buckner, they say, realizing that it was largely their own fault.
 The men were getting along nice- ly this morning and they will be able to resume their journey to Dumas in a very few days.
