The United States has an experiment farm oa ,he mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
 plts even mere marvellous than in the valley are produced. pewn CT the lower levels there are little nips Of frosty nlornlugs occasionally during Dcccmber and January, but on tle mesa the breath of frost Bever touches the most del icatc vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feeder al experiment station are unsurpassed in their delicious q Iality.

The more modern improvements consist of several blocks Of attractive 6ricl. buildings. ;s threestory post office building. also of brick. and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, are q S35. .OC0 school bUilding. a s75.c0O ice plant, a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, Q larger passenger depot and the probability of 2 new court house to cost s75,oCo. There is con- siderable business done there, but thc people have Rct begun to awaken to the vast posSibil ticS Of the place They should at once erect an Rpto-date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds areCnd it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation. Ii atmosphere were only traGsportable like minc=al waters and one could send coasigninents of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration Of its hoaltE-givilg qualities woG!d bring 2a.f0e tourists every winter to the banks Of the Colo rado River
 Yuma needs only to nlak known it's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by bliZzlrl; and saoEStorGlS to attract a 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 intclligea; 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 iii all America There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and deeicouS food. and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek living elsewhere it will be because the people 6sO 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 D health rOaort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that jt will require Sl GOO in cash to buy single acre of it.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges of Arizona and California lowered toward the stars, al least twice as high as they do now, rains were very freduent and came down in torrcntial volumes all along these mountain ridgcs. The Colorado River in these past ages was mighty stream, sweeping down debris ta tons every second Of it's flow. The Cobra do sink was at that time great inland sea, which spread over the country on both sides of where the river now runs. As the erosion of winds and storms, landSlides and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year, the great river carried down a vast amount er silt, erosion from the rocks full Of phos, shates, times and dIsintergrated granites, as well as the vegetation along it's banks; and this was all deposited iu what are now the sinks of the Colorado
 As the mountain tops were worn 6oy7n, The Rains became less frequent and less in volume But the erosion of rocks and river banks, Ebe trees and vegetable lnoRld torn fsozs fhe banks stiH came down and settled into tbe bottom oG the great inland lake. This geoSical process went on from age to age so eEr time, leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream about half a mile wide and being at tl5e present lime about twenty feet deep il the deepest portion.
 It is not necessary to remind CaNfornians that the Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river the Colorado because of the reddish color of it's waters. It is the Colorado up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and down past The Needles. But at this time Of the yeaG. after passing the mouth Of the Gila, instead Of the red river it becomes the brown river. IL actually looks today as if ten per cent of its flow was silt and only ninety per cent water.

ft is very far from a standardization since three little open boats under the flag of Slz.in first touched the waters Of the western henIi- sphere and revealed the new world to the eyes Of Europeans. IL is only a little over a century since the United States of America sprane, so to speak. like Psllas Athene frona the brain of love, completely armed ad- dit;on to the family Of nations. Tt is but little -ver half century since California be- came part of these United States Of America, and less than a generation since She settle melt Of the Great South vest began.
 In ali the I25 years since the Republic wss founded, also in the half century since Cali fpriia became one of the States Of the Union, and during every year of the last thirty, a re- sslizaIion Of the vast riches Of the American continent, of the territory of the United states and of this Great Southwest hos been .nore and more astonishing 10 the minds of men. One would suppose that by today We knew pretty thoroughly what the undeveiop- ed 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.
 Tn a residence of forty years on the Coast the writer thought he knew 8 little about what there is on the Coast, and as most Of eacse years have been spent in and around Los Angeles. he naturally had a little con eeit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object Of this story is to call atten- ton once more, and for perhaps the thou saudth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the Gepositidg 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 Braw ley, ealexico and other points west Of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Hi nois has as tOnished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The sertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been a matter of history for at least 60G0 years. Those who are familinr with Illinois prairie snil and those who know what he valley of the Nile is for agriculture. llhow that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both of them
 If you ask farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will spen with astonshment ali your ignorance He will tell you no one knows whether it is O feet, 69o or 6cO9 feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disinteGrated granite and ether rocks that it never breaks. It is as sasiiy worked as a heap of ashes, and re- xrozscs to cultivation in way that is mar HetfscS.

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Erfz0sTa has established an experiment station i17 tue heart of this big valley, which is soIsfe tpTci9ty-four miles long, and in spots Sen to twelve miles wide, down on the lower beye3. Y1rs results are wonderful Last week siges were cutting a crop Of ;Nfl:5a ozl this eX- l7eriusental farm. and for seven consecutive Elontiss they will cut succeeding crops. The anly months when the cropls not cut tsre are December and January.
 Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest Euxuriancr, ana this rich uiluvial soil wtll be noted in a very few years as the ideal sgob in sfc whole country for dairying, hog raising, the production of poultry and vegetables, wiaich enc heSitates to call early or late 2s 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 april eojs by the middle of the same month Chic kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter 3ime beyond all experience anywhere else
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three or four times in whole winter. With an abundance Of green alfalfa and vegct- able the dry and not ovcrheated climate prevailing ia tEc winter months. chickens are free from the disease that make their raising difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in SoutL- ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- dnction Of corn as this valley along ihe Cobra do River. With alfalfa and corn. the butter xhecSe. eggS. poultry and pork to be raised on a twcnty-acre farm will amaze those who have the experience in American agricultural affairs
