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 on the lower levels there are little nipS of frosty mornings occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del ! icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Fedcr- 1 al experiment station are unsurpassed in their l delicious quality
 Yuma is busy, up-to-date town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks Of attractive brick buildings three-story post ofhce building, also Of brick, and many other nice structures Among some of the greater improvements which arc being made, arc @ &S5 Oo0 school building, a s75.COO ice plant a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depot, and the probability of 1 6 new court house to cost s75,O00. There is con- siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibIi ties of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-late tourist hotel. IL should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation. Ii atmosphere ,Fere only transportabie like mineral waters. and one could send consignmentS of this Yuma winter air to the East the inspiration of its HlNtHE .QudllblcS ROuiO pIlI1E ~O-0NN tourists every winter to the banks Of the Colo rado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known its climatic attractions in the parts Of the East swept every year by bliZzards and snowStornS to attract a city full every winter. The fertility Of the val Icy below will almost make itselr known with out effort on the part of the people, But with a valley full of intelligent 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 in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and decliciouS food. and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek q living elsewhere, it will be because the people do not know how to live properly
 The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909 and ip 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 Fl QUO in cash to buy single acre of it.

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart of this big valley, which is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots ten 10 twelve miles wide down on the lower level. The results are wonderful. Last week they were cutting q crop Of alfalfa on this ex- perimcnt3l farm, and for seven consecutive months they will cut succeeding crops. The only months when the crop Is not cut here are December and January.
 Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest luzuriance. and this rich alluvial soil will be noted in Q very few years the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying hog raising She production of poultry and vegetables, which one hesitates to call early or late, 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 cots by the middle of the same month. Chic kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter time beyond all experience anywhere else.
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three or four times in a whole winter. With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- able the dry and not overheated climate prevailing in the winter months, chickens are free from the disease that make their raising difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- duction of corn as this valley along the Cobra do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter cheese. eggs. poultry and pork to be raised on a twenty acre farm will amaze those who have the experience in American agricultural affairs
 The winter climate around Yuma is a thing so iatoxicatingly sa!ubrious lhat no words caE describe it. Those deserts of America as We have regarded them heretofore seem to defy the Ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The atmos phere is a. dry as punk, the skies cOudlesSly clear. the air mild as possible, and every breath seems to Dc an inspiration of new life

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges of Arizona and California lowered toward the stars. nt least twice as high as they do now, rains were very freduent and came down in torrcntial volumes all along these mountain ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages was a mighty stream, sweeping down debris in tons every second Of its flow. The Colora- 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 of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos- plates, times and dIsintergrated granites, as well as the vegetation along Its banks; and this was all deposited In what are now the sinks of the Colorado.
 As the mountain tops were worn down, the Pains became less frequent and less fin volume but the erosion Of rocks and river banks, the trees and vegetable mould torn from the banks still came down and settled into the bottom of the great inland lake. This geOgical process went on from age to age to our time, leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream about half mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep ia the deepest portion.
 1t is not necessary to remind Californians that the Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river the Colorado because of the reddish color of its waters It Is the Colorado up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and down past The Needles. But at this time of the year. 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.

POSSIBILITIES OF YUMA
 REGION UNEMPLOYED The Soil Simply Marvellous in Its
 ProdHCtiveness And the Climate is intoxiCatingIy
 SaiutriesS
BY GEORGE Y. BURTON. In los Angeles Times.

Itis very far from semi-millenium since three little open boats under the nax of Spain nrst touched the waters of the western hemI- sphere and revealed the new world to the eyes of Europeans. It is only a little over a century since the United States of America sprang, so to speak, like PsIlas Athene from the brain of love, a completely armed sd- alton to the family Of nations. It is but little -ver half q century since California be- came a 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, n re- alization of the vast riches Of the American continent, of the territory Of the United States and of this Great Southwest has been nore 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 he expected to become. We have not reached the depths of this great ocean of wealth with our plummet line yet.
 In residence Of forty years on the Coast the writer thought he knew a 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 little con ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week a trip 10 the Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma made hIm feel as ten dcrfoOf who iaad come In on She last train. New to him. ihiS wonderful region and its possibilities are pretty well known to q great many readers of The Times by the stories published, if not by the demon etration Of their own eyes.
 Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles from when: the government is putting in the great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers. It 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 O westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is only a few miles.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object Of this story is to call atten- tion once more, and for perhaps the thou sandth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the depositidg 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 Brawley, Calexico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illl- nOis has as.onished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been a matter of history for at least 5000 years. Those who are familinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture. khow that this lower Colorado River region surpasGes both of them.
 If you ask farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishment ai your ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether 1t is So feet, GOO or 5000 feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is SO thoroughly we'll mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as heap of ashes, and re- spends to cultivation in a way that is mar yelous
