The fame of the fertile country now known as the Yaqui River Delta, of Sonora, Mexico, extends back many decades. Early travellers talked about the wonderful fertility of these lands and historians have written of them as the Nile Valley lands of America. Now comes Edward H. Hartman, who recently visited that section, who, un- reservedly declares that the west coast of Mexico generally, and the Yaqui River Valley particularly, offers greater inducements to the settler than any other section on the North Am erica Continent In his interview with the "Times" man, MT. Hartman, in speaking of the Yaqui Valley, said:
 "The soil is as rich as that of Inn peraI and will grow everything that fIourishes in the tropics. We expect to have cotton, all fruits and constant output of products"
 In speaking of the attitude of the MeXicans toward the Americans who are settling there, he said: :"Great Lib eraIity is the policy of the Mexican Government toward American capital. In fact, their entire trend is to be fair and honest. If any of you want to get out of this part of the country, there is the place to go; such soil will grow anything."
 The history of MT Harriman's life and remarkable success, proves him to be very shrewd and far sighted business man and one whose advice it would be safe to follow
 So much for MT. Hartman. Now for few facts regarding the country he was so impressed with
 In the Yaqui Valley fruits. vegeta- bles and staple products mature and ripen from one to three months ahead of Imperial and Salt River val leys. There are 365 growing days in the year and 300 days of sunshine. The climate is ideal and health con- ditions perfect. The much dreaded Calentula or Mexican fever districts lie further to the south.
 The Yaqui River Valley is close to vast timber and coal resources and the

richest mining district in the whole world.
 Markets for all products are at hand, the local demand has never been supplied and the United States is continually drawn on for food stuffs and other supplies.
 The Yaqui valley is several hun dred miles nearer Eastern centers than Los Angeles San Francisco or Seattle.
 Eight to ten cuttings of alfalfa are made yearly. It would be twelve were it not for the two rainy months in midsummer. Watermelons ripen the last of March and cantaloupes are ready for market the first of May.
 The soil is generally a sand mixed silt, forty feet deep and no hard pan or alkali. There are no destructive spring winds to destroy growing crops.
 No cyclones, hot waves, drougnts or floods.
 The land being perfectly smooth there is no expense for levelling
 There is a drop of about three feet to the mile toward the Coast, which is just right for irrigation. Water for irrigation of the valley is taken from the Yaqui River, anu an abundance for all time is assured Delicious water for domestic purposes, pure and sparkling, can be secured by sinking wells from 27 to 55 feet.
 Shipments of produce can be made by both rail and water The lands of the Richardson Construction Com pany are now being sold for $25 per acre, and on the most liberal terms No charge is made for a water right Water service charges are 50 cents per acre foot.

Friend of Petrosln oWho Was
Murdered in Italy is Shot
in New York.

New York, May 19.-lMarked for
death, the police believe, be ause he
had been a close friend of Lieuten-
ant Joseph Petrosino OF the New
York police department, who was
assassinated in Palermo, Italy, Piog-
gio Puccio, a cigarmaker, was him
self assassinated yesterday as he was
trying to enter his apartments on
f.. 10Th street. He dropped dead on
the threshold as a bullet fired over
the balustrade on the floor above
crashed into the body BY the time
the police arrived the assassin mad
escaped, presumably 70 the roof and
down through an adjoining house.
The police say that the man who
shot the cigarmaker had been lying
in wait for him, apparently, for sew
eral hours.
Before going to Palermo, Petrosi-
no frequently Visited Pucdo's house
When the body OF the detective was
brought to New York for burial Puc-
clio took an active part in the ar
rangements for the demonstration
I'm honor OF Petrosino for the funer-
al and the benefit for the widow. He
helped to form some OF the Italian
societies WniCn paraded in the Petro-
sino funeral procession and he
marched at the head or the Carleone
lodge of Foresters OF which he was
an officer. Puccio was also a lead
ing spirit in arranging the benefit
for Mrs. PetrOsno While he was
engaged in this work he received
several letters threatening him with
death unless he discontinued his ac-
tivity, but he ignored them and de-
clared that he did not fear the
towards. "
The police are convinced that Puc-
clio was murdered because OF his
friendship for Petrosino and several
detectives from the staff formerly
commanded by Lieutenant Petrosino
have been assigned to search for the
murderer.

When grandpa was a boy;
No areoplanes sailed to the sky
When grandpa was a boy:
The people did not live in flats,
There were no merry widow hats
And babies were not joining frats
when grandpa was boy.
They had no leg shows on the stage
when grandpa was a boy;
Bridge whist had not become the
rage
When grandpa was a boy;
They flashed no messages through
space,
The lady was not in disgrace
Who had a child around her place
when grandpa was a boy.
Waists were not buttoned down be-
hind
When grandpa was a boy;
No meat trust soaked it to mankind
When grandpa was boy;
The country had no "Uncle Joe"
To say things should be thus or SO
No Aldrich to say yes or no,
When grandpa was a boy.
There were no shrieking suffragettes
When grandpa was boy;
The ladies pulfed no cigarettes
When grandpa was a boy;
When married women ran away
With married men they did not
claim
To be affinities nor pray,
Therefore, to be absolved from
blame,

COPPER TEMPERED AT LAST

Through mistaking another COM
pound for borax, while working at his
trade as a jeweler David Lamon, OF
Denver, has suddenly found himself
IN possession of the much sought af-
ter method of hardening copper. This
powder, instead of softening the
metal, as borax does, instantly chang
ed the heated copper into such a
degree of firmness that manipulation
was impossible. Quick to take the
advantage that fortune had so unex-
pectedly thrust upon him, the jeweler
at once made a critical analysis of the
compound, determined the ingredients
and finally protected his wonderful
secret by patent.
The art that was old when the
pyramids were building. and which
crumbled into dust with It's discover
ers, to remain a mystery and a hope
less secret for centuries, has again
been given the world by the fortunate
blunder of an unsuspecting ieweler.
Heretofore the combined efforts of
earnest scientists to treat and hard
en- this metal, have either been in
merely glazing the surface, or by adj
dition of certain substances, while in
a molten state. Neither OF these
processes has really accomplished all
that could be desired, nor has the
treatment been put into practical
use.
Contrary to these methods, the
Lamon process not only hardens the
copper, but tempers it as well. 1t is
neither treated in the molten state
nor glazed, but the finished product
in any and all shapes, is given a
complete and lasting physical change
The tensile strength is increased and
the life of the metal heightened more
than treble.-From Lost Art of TEN.

pie put to the extreme expense. OF
