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 ca the lower levels there
are little nips of frosty r2OrnICgs occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of froSt never touches the most DEL
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the FEEDER
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
Yuma is busy, up-to-date 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 heiEg made, are a
sS5, 900 school building, u s75,CC0 ice plant, a
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, n
larger passenger depot, and the probability Of
a new court house to cost $4,000. There is con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast poSsibih
ties of the place. They should at once erect an
upto-iate tourist hotel. It should have ample
grounds around il and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation Ii atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send consiynments of this Yuma
winter air TO the East the inspiration of it's
hcalth-giving qualities would bring $4,000
tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo
RADIO River.
Yuma needs only to make known its climatic
attractions in the parts of the East swept every
year by billiards. and SnowstormS to attract a
city full every winter. The fertility Of the val
ley below viii almost make itself known with
out effort on the part Of the people. But with
valley full of intelligent and Industrious rural
producing fruits and vegetables,
poultry. eggs fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be ore Of the most delightful
winter resorts in all America There is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
healthfnl and delicious food. and If the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
living elsewhere. 1t will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909,
and in 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 $1,000 in cash to buy single
acre Of 1t.

EIGHT FACE DEATH
 OFF LONG BRANCH
Schooner Scurrying Through High Seas Before Ter
 rife Wind
LIFE SAVERS TO RESCUE
Special from United Press,

Special from United Press)
 New York, Aug. 17.-With eight men cnnging to her rigging. while the seas swept over her decks and drove back life-saving orews, eight men are facing death today on board three-masted schooner which was driven ashore 200 yards off the Nash ua Hotel at Long Beach, Long Island.
 The vessel proved to be the Airing ton. for Jacksonville, Fla, from Bos- ton. lumber laden. She will be "a total wreck.
 The schooner 1oomed out of the darkness shortly before dawn today, flying in the face of a 50 mile gale, directly into the shore. With all sails set she jammed her way up the beach Early watchers signalled her but re- ceived no answer. Until some time after daybreak when the fog lifted sufficiently for the vessel to be plain ly seen, it was thought the crew had deserted the ship in small boats.
 Shortly before noon one Of the eight men lashed to the rigging of and launched life raft cheer went up from the watchers ashore as the sailor, holding line, began to drift toward the beach. Then the to the open sea. Driven to desper- ate action by the courage of the sail- or, the life1savers combined their eff forts and finally drove Hfe-boat through the surf. It was an hours fight before they could reach tho ship and the life savers were exhausted. They managed however to take off the fast weakening survivors and then be- gan the fight to return More dead than alive, rescuers and rescued were buffeted by the winds, while thousands who lined the shore cheered their dar- ing efforts. The boat finally got in to the breakers and was dashed on shore where volunteers rushed out and dragged ashore the life savers and seven members of the shipwreck- ed crew. Three of the members of the crew were in such a serious state they were taken to the Hotel Nashua for medical treatment.
 The man who left the wrecked ship on the life raft in an effort to take life line ashore was washed ashore this afternoon at Rocixaway Beach, more dead than alive. He was Mad den Pearson, a Swedish sailor. The life savers along the coast had been warned to watch for him and when he was sighted off Rockaway they put out and brought him ashore.
 Those saved from the wrecked ship were Captain I. I. Small, who refus- ed to leave his ship and had to be lashed by the life savers and taken of. by force; First Mate Davis; James Brown, a. 15 year old cabin boy; a cook and four sailors.
 Davis was on watch when the ship went ashore He mistOok the lights of the Nashua Hotel for those of an Atlantic liner and steered toward them. When he discovered his mis- take, he called the captain and it was then discovered that the steering wheel was out of order and the ship, with all sails set, sped before the gale into the shore. The waves be- gan washing over the deck and the captain and crew were forced into the bow and then onto the bowsprit to save themselves.
 The Arlington cannot be salvaged, it is declared.

FORGE EAMES' NAME

Young Men Bent Upon Joy Ride Take It In Police Wagon to Jail.

William Cairns and James woolsey, two East Side young men, decided last night that joy ride in a covered buggy would be to their liking! and so they prepared a scheme by which they thought that they could get a rig from L. B. Sterling, the East Side livery man. ~First they entered a drug store and 'ohoned to MT. Sterling that c. s. Eames. the plumber of 147 Willis Place, wanted a single carriage and would send a man at once. When Cairns arrived at the stable Mr. Ster- Iling's suspicion was aroused and he told the young man that he would have to get a written order from MT. Flames. Cairns said he would get it, and re- turned a few moments later with a note which had been written by Wool sey and signed with MT. Eames' name. Sterling had in the meantime 'phoned to MT. Flames and found. that he had not ordered any carriage
 The arrest followed and this morning Judge Wilder found probable cause on the charge of forgery and bound the accused over to the next term of the Superior court under $50 bonds each
