prevailing in the winter months, chickens are difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- ductiOn of corn as this valley along the Cobra do 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 experience in American agricultural affairs
 The winter climate around Yuma is a thing so intoxicatingly Salubrious That no words can describe it. Those 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 atmos- phere 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
 ultS even more marvellous than in the valley are produced. Down on the lower levels there are little nipS of frosty mornings occasionally during Dec mber and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder- al experiment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality.
 Yuma is a 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 s35,000 school building. S75CO0 ice plant a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees a larger passenger depot and the probability Of new court house to cost S75, 900. There is con siderable buSiOpSS dOuP thpro but ba Q have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili ties of the place. They should at once erect an to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation. If atmosphere were only transportable 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.OOO tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado 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 d 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 a valley full of intelligent and industrious. rural population, producing fruits and vegetables, poultry. eggs fresh milk and fragrant butter Yuma should be one of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and declicious 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.
 The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909 and ir ten years from today the attractions of Yuma as a health resort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require Sl,OoO in cash to buy a single acre of it.

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 he black prairie soils of Hi nOis has astonished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly enc hundred years. The fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been a 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 agricultu khow that this lower Colorado River region surpasscs both of them.
