1t is very far from Il Seni-millenium 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. 1t is only little over Il
century since the United States of America
sprang, SO to speak. like Pallas Athene from
the brain of Jove, a completely armed ad-
dition to the family of nations. 1t is but
little >ver half a century since California be-
came part of these United States of America,
and less than a generation since the settle
ment Of the Great South vest began.
In all the l25 years since the Republic was
founded, also in the half century since Cali
fornia became one of the States of the Union.
and during every year Of The last thirty, a re-
alizaton 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-
ed resources of the Great Southwest might
reasonably lie expected to become. We have
not reached the depths Of this great ocean of
wealth with our plummet line yet.
In q 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 Angeles, he naturally had q little con-
ceit that lie was pretty well acquainted with
the Great Southwest. Last week a trip to the
Colorado RIVER bottoms. below Yuma made
HIM feel as a tenderfOOt who had come in on
the last train. New to him, this wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty well
known to 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
ella and Colorado Rivers. 1t is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river to the Mexican
bOundry line on the Arizona side of the river
At one point, just below Yuma, the interna-
tiOnal boundry line runs up along the river
which there takes a westerly trend and from
Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

Phcsphoreecent Tree.

People walking in a wood in the
Wishaw district. near Glasgow, after
dark, were startled the other night by
what they took to be an apparition In
the wood. On making investigation
they found the trunk of an ash tree
in an upright position giving forth a
light resembling phosphorescence. but
more brilliant These who have Wis
tied the spot stoutly insist that the
trees light Is more of an incandescen,
brightness, sufficient for the reading
of print in its vicinity. Large crowds
were attracted to the place to witness
the spectacle, while young people sc
cured chips Of the tree and wore then
en- their clothes in the dark.
