POSSIBILITIES OF YUMA
 REGION UNEMPLOYED The Soil Simply Marvellous in its
 PrOdGCtiyeneSS And the Climate is lntOxiCatingly
 SdlubriOuS
BY GEORGE N. BURTON, In Los Angeles Times,

It is very far from a scmi-millenium since three little open boats under the flag of Spain first touched the waters of the western hemi- eyes of Europeans. It is only little over a century since the United States of America sprang, so to speak. like Pallas Athene from the brain of love, completely armed ad- dition to the family Of nations It is but little -ver half century since California be- came a part of these United States of America, and less than a generation since the settle ment of the Great South west began.
 In all the l25 years since the Republic was founded, also in the half century since Cali fornia became one or Che States of the Union. and during every year of the last thirty, a re- alization 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 astonishing to the minds of men. One would suppose that by today we knew pretty thoroughly what the undevelop- cd resources of the Great Southwest might reasonably be expected to become. We have not reached the depths of this great ocean, of wealth with our plummet line yet.
 In a residence of forty years on the Coast
 
 what there is on the Coast, and as most of these years have been spent in and around Los Angeles, he naturally had a little con ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week a trip to the Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma. made hlm feel as tenderfoot who had come in on the last train. New to him, this wonderful region and it's possibilities are pretty well known to a great many readers of The Times by the stories published, if not by the demon Stration 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 bounGTy line on the Arizona side of the river At one point, just below Yuma, the intcrna- tiOnal boundry line runs up along the river which there takes a westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incura ble. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimon- ials. Address

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart of this big valley, which is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots ten to twelve miles wide, down on the lower level. The results are wonderful Last week they were cutting a crop of alfalfa on this ex- perimcntal farm, and for seven 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 a very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying, hog raising, the production Of poultry and vegetables, which one hesitates to call carly 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 gathered in the early days of May, and apri- cots by the middle of the same month. Chic kens and turkeys flourish there insthe winter time beyond all experience anywhere else
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three or four times in q whole winter With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- ablcsi the dry ana not ovegaeatcd climate

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten- tion once more, and for perhaps the thou sandth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the depositidg 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 encounters the same type of country and soil that is found in the Imperial Valley country around Brawley, CaleXico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Hi nois has aStonished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys of the Nile has been matter of history for at least coco years. Those who are familinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture. khOw that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishment ai your ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether it is 50 feet, G0C or G,GO0 feet deep. It is practically without bottom. IL is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintCgrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re- spends to cultivation in a way that is mar vicious.

SUSPECTS FOUL PLAY
PUBLIC PROSECUTOR TO PROBE
THE VANDERBILT MYSTERY.

PRINCETON. y. j.. May .3.-Develop-
ments of the past few days have led
prosecutor George Berdne TO suspect that
the death of Miss Bertha Vanderbilt an
assistant librarian OF the Princeton Tn;-
versity Library. was not the result OF
an accident. and ar. Berdine has begun
an investigation. Miss Vanderbilt was
the daughter of a jeweler of Amsterdam
n. y, and her body was taken to that
city for burial
Mr.. Berdine is said TO be of the opinion
that the county physician and coroner
who allowed the body To be buried acted
too hastily and may demand that it be
exhumed for an autopsy to determine the
cause of Miss Nanderbilt's death
1t is probable that Mr.. Berdne will ask
for an order Of the supreme court per-
hitting an autopsy. Detective Frank
hoffman has been assigned to investigate

point where the coroner's inquiry ended
Miss Vanderbilt was last seen alive May

Princeton village There were bruises on
the face and head. but it was believed
that these were due to an accidental fall

saying that he was satisfied that the
girls death was accidental
Just what has prompted Mr. Berdine to
reopen the case after the other authori-
ties have convinced themselves that there
was no ground fer suspicion has not
been made known. II is said. however,
that Miss Vanderb!t's conduct on the
afternoon of her death indicated that she
had an appointment with some one in the
vicinity of the place where her body was
found. and. in addition to this. there IL
nothing but theory to explain how, her
body got into the canal.
