TIE GREATEST DANGER.

According to Mr.. Carnegie,
tire very sraEcst OF the dangers
that beset yoHng men who aim
at success in business is the hab-
it OF indulgence in intoxicating
liquors. He says in his book,
The Empire of Business;
The first and most seductive
peril, and the destroyer Of most
young men is the drinking of
liquor, am no temperance tee.
turcr i'll disguise, but man who
knows and tells you what his
observation has proved to bin
and | say to you that you are
more likely to fail il your career
from acquiring the habit OF
drinking liquor than from any
or all of the other temptations
likely TO aSsail you. You may
yield TO almost any other temp
tation, and reform-may brace
up, and if not recover lost
ground, at least remain in the
race and secure and maintain a
respectable position, But from
the insane thirst for liquor, es-

some distance, then northeastern
" to 'recarte, turning again to
the southeast and east until 1t
reaches the American boundary
line again through the Jacumba
valley. This is a distance of TO
miles from Tia Juana. From
Jacumba the road Is to pass
through Carisso canyon. Nearly
half the railroad will be in Mex
leo, if this route is followed as
planned.
S. p. in Here.
When completed the San Diego
& Arizona railroad will join this
city with Yuma, in that way
forming a transcontinental rail
road by connection with the
Southern i'aciic. This will make
San Diego the market place for
the products Of the fertile Impe-
rial valley, and San Diego will
be the seaport terminus OF the
new road. 1t is expected that
this will PROVE Of much benefit
to the city by opening new
route to the east.
The necessary right Of way
has been Obtained in San Diego
as far as the city limits at Ma
tional City at cost of nearly
81 900, 900, and a part Of the right
of way through National City
has been obtained. About q mile
of the right of way in National
City was graded a year ago. The
company by its condemnation
suit will get II right Of way vary
ing from 100 to 300 feet in
width through part Of National
City, Chula Vista and the rest OF
the distance to the boundary line,
to provide space for the con-
struction of warehouses, tanks,
storage sheds, round-house and
other structures.

PROUD OF CROPS

The question is asked by a
Chicago newspaper, Why not be
proud of the great crops that
are being raised on the farms OF
this country? Certainly. 1t Is
strange that one should ask such
question.
In all the world there is no
country where such great. varied
and valuable crops are produced
as on the American farms. Mar
ketS are near every acre of this
land. Railroads absorb the sur
plus and transport it to the mar
lset centers Of the country or the
world. And that which is left
behind will not be sold for cent
less than what it could be sold
for farther away; or putting it
another way, nothing will be
shipped away for less than it
will bring at home. In other
words, good prices prevail every
where. The good crop means
an abundance Of distributed new
wealth.

DATES.

For years the agricultural de-
partment has been experiment

date palm, and they have dem

is said to be one of the oldest as
well as one Of the most useful
Of ali domesticated fruits. In it's
home in the far east its fruit
forms a staple article of food,
and syrup, vinegar and brandy
are made from old dates. Its
branches are useful in making
rattan beds, chairs. tables and
settees; its leaves are woven in

outer portion Of its trunk is
woven into fiber cloth and rope.
There are said to be over q hun

ing and which has proven adapt
ed to this section. 1t is claimed
that one of the best varieties is
known as the "Deglet Moor, -
and that conditions in the Yuma
valley are found to be practically
identical with its native home in
Algiers. 1t is known that the
date will bear fruit for 200 years
and that a tree will yield %
pounds. This shows the won.
derful possibilities of the date.

LAKE ROOSEVELT

After the completion Of the
great Tonic dam now under con
struction near the junction of
the Salt river and Tonic creek,
on the Tonic national forest, this
forest Will be able TO boast Of
she largest lake in Arizona.
By the iulpoundlng of the wa
tiers of the two streams, d lake
approximately % miles in length
ind about , miles in Width at the
widest point will be formed,
This body of water will in all
probability be called Lake Roosc.
Eelt, since the town which has
sprung Up at the dam site is al,
seady known by that name.
Ia order to facilitate the ad
2,inJStration Of the Tonic Nd
tioDsl forest, the government is
now figuring on the purchase of
Il small gasoline launch of ten
horse power engine capacity,
which viii be used IN conveying
.nen, horses, supplies and 6re-
fighting material to different
points Old the laEe shore from
which tbe often recurring tires
in the nearby mountains can be
easiest attacked.
The launch itself cannot, of
course, carry horses nor heavy
and bulky loads, but will act as
Il tug boat aud tow cargoes Of
this nature in a large, Hat bot
toned scow, or ferry.boat The
United States reclamation ser
vice is now using launch Of
about the same size aud capacity,
which has been found extremely
useful in connection with the
construction Of this immense
dam.

FALSE REPORT.

The reported discontinuance of the
trains between Yuma and Laguna
Dam is absolutely untrue.
The trains continue to make the
trips daily on the regular scheduled
time. The only change is that con-
nection will be made with the Calex-
leo branch and that the train from
the line city will continue into Yuma
over the dam route, on the regular

THE PUBLIC OBTAIN

The public lands which are
adapted TO agriculture are rap
idly being appropriated By indi-
viduals. The unoccupied por
lions OF the public domain COM
prise the last cheap land which
as within the reach Of the man of
moderate means. Very little
government land remains in the
westera states, and the terrific
ries are being populated with an
industrious, active and energetic
peopin. Westward from the
Mississippi and eastward from
the Pacific, the ever increasing
population OF this great republic
is spreading out and covering
the arabic lands that lie between.
The value of lands held in pri-
vate ownership is rapidly in
creasing, and already is mani
tested by the immigrant and
homeseeker a deep anxiety to
secure home while yet homes
are given by generous govern
ment TO actual settlers.
The phenomenal growth of
California and the fever of land
speculation which has for the
past few years pervaded all
classes of society IN that won
derful state have caused the
price of all kinds of real estate
to rise to sach figures as prac-
1ically to prevent anyone from
obtaining land unless he is very
wealthy. Scarcely any kind Of
agricultural land in a desirable
part of California can be had at
less than one hundred dollars
per acre, while FIVE hundred and
even u thousand dollars per acre
h not an unusual price.
Southern Arizona offers to the
immigrant q home where a per-
feet climate insureS health and
comfort; where land is abundant
and cheap; where the soil is
rich, lasting aud wonderfully
prolific; where bounteous nature
yenders the greatest return for
labor; where varied resources
are being rapidly developed;
where excellent educational IA
cilities are ever at hand; where
railroads Will brisg to his door

port TO market the products OF

SpreCkeIS Going On
With Yuma Railroad
Whole City RejoiCes Over th3
ANNOUNCEMENT
[San Diego Sun

San Diego Sun
Formal announcement was
made today by the Spreckels in
terests in this city that actua
work on the construction of the
San Diego & Arizona railroad
from San Diego to Yuma, AriZo
ma, would be begun nexth month
The company has advertised fol
bids for grading the right Of
way of the road from San Diego
to point near Tia .Iuana, Mex
leo, on the international bounda
ny line. 1t is announced that
the bids are to be opened May
and the contract awarded. The
successful bidder is expected t.
begin work at once, probably bJ
the middle of May.
The part for which the con
tracts are to be let contains easy
grades-probably as easy as any
on the proposed line and certain
ly not anywhere near SO hard as
the mountain grades. The tOta
cost of the grading to be done
will therefore be q very small
part Of the total cost Of the road
The total cost of grading the
fourteen miles will not be more
than $1,000 q mile, some real es
tate men believe.
The grading, however, is only
part Of the job. 1t is assumed
that the rails will be Land as soor
as the road bed is ready.
Whatever is TO be done, there
is no doubt that the whole city
let out a whoop of pleasure this
morning.
Mexican Route.
That The San Diego & Arizona
Railroad Company has decided
on what is known as the "MeXi
can route" is shown by the Sling
late yesterday afternoon Of a
suit in condemnation against
nearly loo property owners he
tween National City and the
Mexican boundary line. This
suit is begun to secure the Neces
sary right Of way for the rail
road. This decision OF the route
TO be taken by the railroad Is
considered as important as The
announcement Of actual construc
ton work. Three distinct routes
have been surveyed by the com
pany, two Of these through the
mountains in this county and the
third partly through Lower Cal
ifornia.
Following SO closely upon The
recent visit of u. Il. Hartman,
the railroad king, to San Diego,
when he was the guest Of Jobr
D. Spreckels, the announcement
today by the San Diego & Arizo
na Railroad Company is taken
as significant. 1t was strongly
rumored ut the time Of bis visit
here that some announcement
concerning the construction oil
the Yuma road, in which he was
supposed to be interested, would
follow MIR. Harrinan's visit and
the rumors have proved to have
been we'll founded. Within the
last few days a well-developed
real estate boom has been mani.
tested and it was given out that
1t railroad announcement could
be expected at any time
30 TILES Long.
BY the Mexican route the San
Diego & Arizona will be about
220 miles in length, The grad
ing work now to be done will be
fourteen and three tenths miles,
covering The distance between
the Hartupee tract on the water
front near the foot of Twelfth
street TO the international bouu-
Diary line. The survey follows
