New Bank Next Month

W. A. Hampton, president of the Yuma National Bank, which expects to open it's doors to the public within the next thirty days, has returned from an ex- tended trip to Washington and New York. In Washington he deposited government bonds with the treasury department as required, to secure the issue of the new circulation. The new bank bills will shortly arrive here. The cashier of the new establishment will be Orville Hampton, a son of the president, and he is expected in Yuma about the first of December.
 The board of directors con- sists of W. A. Hampton, Mary B. Nugent, George Marable. George Michelsen and John Dunne. Temporary quarters will be fitted up in the building of the Yuma Title Abstract Co. The latter company will retain offices in the rear of the build ing, which will probably be en- larged to better accommodate both institutions.

Hay Lose Their Land

Parker, Ariz:, Noy. 14.-Ev. cry male resident of this place attended a mass meeting held last evening for the purpose oi protesting to the government against removing the proposed public auction of Parker city lots to Phoenix on December 21.
 The Parker Improvement As. sociation was organized and ev, cry white resident became a member and made unanimous the protest which was forwarded to Washington this evening.
 Four government land inspect ors have during the past few days made lot to lot inspection taking note of the improvements and the length of time they have existed. The government re- quired of property holders that all improvements be completed by May 21, 1909. AS few have complied with these require ments it is feared that all new corners will lose their property.

 ment; development merges into the realm of manufacturing, com- merce, transportation and gen. eral resourceful production.
 Legislation may be narrow and destructive, and legislation may be broad and constructive. In- dustries are but children of the sun of sympathies, chilled or cheeaed, no matter, the fertility or resourcefulness.
 But few contemplate benefits and possibilities resultant in the completion of the Yuma project, the Panama canal, Arizona state hood and early and favorable coast outlets-rail and water commensurate with the increas- ing volume of Southwestern busi- ness and enterprise. The South west, though yet garbed in in fant gown, strongly appeals to the best judgment for a reason able bond issue, wisely and eco- nomically administered in behalf of stable reclamation and power production. The expenditures do not appear immense when it Is remembered that the benefits accruing are colossal and perma- nent.

Mammoth Fruit

Dr. E. B. Ketcherside is the proud posSessor of an orange tree on his place on the mesa which is weighted with speci- mems of the delectab ble fruit of unusual quality and size. One of the oranges about which the doctor recently put the tape line measured exactly 13 inches in circumference. A number of others on the same tree are as large as this one and are not yet thoroughly ripened. The tree has been bearing steadily for several years and produces an exceptionally finely favored navel. The next few years, it is hoped, will see this section of the mesa covered with luxuriant orange trees.

Open Letter
To Hon. John W. Darlington.
Yuma, Nov. 13, 1909. My Dear Col. Darlington

Yuma, Nov. 13, 1909.
 My Dear Col. Darlington
 It is indeed gratifying to note the continued and substantial growth of our city, county and country; but my dear Colonel, It can be no affront to your intelli- gence, patriotism or ability to assert the fact that, just now, as common people, we are con- fronted by issues and questions of immense magnitude involving the welfare of generations un- born. The importance of the hour demands action, wisdom and forethought of the highest order-demands that efficiency, integrity and profundity take precedence of party, of section and of prejudices whatsoever. No man or set of men or party, or locality, or interest, should predominate or influence, except from virtue of INTRINSIC WORTH worth which can but insure the greatest good to the greatest number of the entire common wealth.
 In our territory there is ample timber of correct quality to frame properly state constitution ex- actly covering every exigency. We have but to rise to the inn portance of mature and prudent selection. We must fully appre- ciate the gravity attaching to the election. The material should at once be far above and beyond suspicion-in a word, fearless, progressive and thoroughly con sclentious and remindful of the difficulties and exigencies of pos sible and probable amendments

F. s. There are quantities of 5 to 7-inch catfish being taken out of the river by Indians, ne- groes and Mexicans. If they are of the species of fine table fish placed in the river lately by Cap tain Isaac Polhamus they should be protected until they are at least twelve to eighteen inches in length, as ten or twenty pound blue or channel catfish is excellent table food.

Senate Irrigation Committee Would Raise Funds Quickly
 by Issuing Warrants

Los Angeles Times: To finish reclamation projects rapidly, which the insufficient funds of the government will not now permit, interest bearing warrants certificates, or some similar de vice, will be recommended to tue next congress by the senate irri- gation committee, which passed through Los Angeles yesterday morning.
 This plan was explained by Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana. chairman of the com mittee. With him were Sena- tors Jones of Washington, New l .nds of Nevada and Warren of Wyoming, members of the com mittee; Senator Flint of Califor- mia, who went with them on a visit to the Imperial valley re. gions. F. H. Newell, director of the reclamation service, was also a member of the party.
 Senator Garter explained that the accretions to the reclama- tion fund are inadequate to make rapid progress and that some system of credit must be arrang ed to finance many of them and hasten their completion. The service has had the use of $6O,- 0O0, 600, of which all but S10.OO0,- 900 has been spent. The unex, pended portion, distributed among the twenty four big pro- iects which the government is directing, will admit of only slow progress, and the committee will recommend the issuance of inter- est bearing warrants or certii- cates against the reclamation fund, which will allow of rapid work and will permit immediate benefit to the occupants of the lands, also permitting them to begin cultivation, anticipating their payments to the reelama tion fund.
 It is the idea of the committee, T he explained, that this scheme of credit will advance the inter: ests of all concerned by making larger areas of land available to production and revenue than by the slower processes that are now causing complaint from many regions.
 The committee has been forty four days on it's tour and visited projects in North and South Da- kota, Montana, Idaho, Washing ton, Oregon, Wyoming, Nebras- ka, Colorado and California. The charges of excessive cost of water rights under the Klamath project in Oregon were denied by members of the committee and Director Newell, all agree ing that the purchases made were necessary and at fair valu- ationS.

What the Editor Cannot Do.

Don't think because the reporter
sees you getting on the train that he
ought to know who you are and
where you are going or if he sees
you greet some friends that he
knows who they are and where they
are from. We aim to get all the
news, but you may be the one we
don't happen to know. We try to
become familiar with names and
faces, if possible. But during the
years past we have been to church
and failed to see you there. We
have hung around the town pump,
but some Of you weren't there. We
have loafed on the street. We've
even risked our reputation on back
streets on a dark night, but you
weren't all there. And we'll be
hanged if we know where to find you
all. So if you are going or coming
or know anybody cutting up queer
capers let us know.-Norton (Kan.

Shaving Soap.
change.

It is commonly assumed that soap
is used in shaving for the purpose OF
softening the hairs, but this is a
mistake, declares a writer in a con-
temporary. It is used, on the con-
trary, to render them hard, stiff and
brittle, in which condition they best
yield to the razor. Hair being nat
urally oily, were we to shave dry OF
with water only, the razor would
either slip over the limp hair with.
out cutting it or, entering about hall
way, bend the hair back and slice il
lengthwise, all the while straining ii
most painfully at the roots, and as a
razor would thus slice and pull out
probably a large number Of hairs al
once the inconvenience and dis.
comforts which one experiences in
shaving under the existing condi.
tions would be considerably intensi.
fed.
