asked if the match would be pulled off
within years time he answered in
the affirmative.
Corbett was probably the most sci

pair of boxing gloves and in his prime
was clever in every department of the
game.
He still has all the respect for big
jim Jeffries and seems rather of the
opinion that Jeffries is far better than
Johnson and could easily win should
he get in condition.
In speaking of Sam Langford he said
that that oolored fighter was in nc
class with the heavyweights of the last
few years and i'll fact it must be re
membered that he is no real heavy
weight A bout between Langford and
Johnson or Langford and Jeffries
would be no great battle, for this col

 The case was very expensive one to Imperial county, the ac- cused having had two trials. The first jury failed to agree. c. l.. Brown, formerly of Yuma, was the leading attorney for the de- fenSe.

'"There are large clam beds and plenty of cookies near the fresh wager spring; and across the Gulf, a distance of about ten miles, are oyster beds, and banks and banks of marine shells of many kinds.
 "About the Colony and the lower reaches of the Colorado river are deer and wild hogs in abundance, while the sloughs and mud flats from there to the beach are filled with ducks and geese, curlew and several kinds of snlpes-ail of the finest game birds in the world.
 "Think of such a field for the sportsman there isn't another superior to It in the World-and none like it.
 "We have long talked of Yuma as a future winter resert, and we can make it the most popular in the Southwest if this scheme can be carried out. Besides, 1 fancy if real estate man could start out from here early some winter morning with a party of men from the frozen north or middle west and run down through the valley with green fields on either side of the road, see the farmers harvesting crops, children going to school in the sunshine without the need of overcoats, and at night lodge iii a comfortable ho- tel on the beach, where the finest sport imaginable can be enjoyed, he would not fail to add one or more permanent residents to Yuma's population.
 "This is something for us all to work for. Let us do it."

AUTO ROAD

thought we would do it; no one thought we could do it, and nc one hardly thought it possible. Despite all the doubts, though, we made the trip from Yuma to the Gulf in an automobile" "
 Thus spoke Peter T. Robert son, the enthusiastic promoter of an automobile road from Yuma to the Gulf of California. Con tinuing Mir. Robertson said;
 "I have talked this road ir season and out of season, been encouraged by some and ridi culed by others. About year ago I tried to get an auto tC make an initial trip over the desert with view of learning the difficulties to be overcome in constructing the road, but could find TO auto owner Whe was willing to risk his machine on such a trip. But in the fall associated with the Yuma Motor Car Company as their attorney the president, MT. Frank Fehr. offered me their car, two cyl finder Buick, and his services as chauffeur for the trip, and finally on Saturday morning, Novem Der 27, at 7 o'clock, the start was made from my home on Orange avenue. Our party consisted o1 Frank Fehr, Dr. F. c. Mueller, our guide, Joe Carter, and my self.
 'It had rained the night be fore and, while the weather was fine, the roads through the val ley were heavy with mud. which caused us to lose time owing tC the skidding of the machine; but we got along fairly well and reached Sandoval's ranch at the boundary line at 1920 o'clock Here we were to encounter the supposed impossible barriers o1 sand. When 1 say impossible mean as to automobiles. We went out to the internationa boundary monument and made the start from there straight over the mesa to Noche Buena About ten or twelve miles of the way between the line and Noche Buena is heavy sand, and, no knowing it well, we stuck some two or three times, but the de layes were short and by ? D. m We were at Noche Buena, having made the run in six hours. Wher | say we made it in six hours
 have made allowance for only al hour of time which we spent tha cannot be counted as any par of the running time; it vas tim' spent at Sandoval's and at tn, monument. We were sight-see ing as we'll as looking for road and many stops which may hay not been deducted from the run hing time.
 After stopping at Noch Buena thirty minutes we starte, on the run to Fl Doctor and ar rived there at 6:15 and went int camp. All night long could b heard the quacking of ducks an, the call of the geese which fl the jules of Santa Clara Slougl at this point, and in the morn ing when the sun came up W could look for miles and mile over vast mud flats which reach ed to the Colorado river and tn

Dairy Products

The conditions which are so favorable to the horse breeding and hog industries apply with equal force to dairying. Dairy cows do exceedingly well on alfalfa posture without other feed. Barns and other struct- sures for dairy stock are unne- eessary. Eucalyptus or other commercial forest trees will fur Dish shade for stock in three years time. Dairy products always command a good price.

Gulf, and which were filled with game birds of different kinds.
 After late start we made the run from El Doctor to a point on top of the Barrancas on the lower reaches of Santa Clara Slough, arriving there at Il ;45 a. n. We spent the balance of the day in looking for the best way to get down in the bottom lands that skirt the slough on the east side. The next morn ing we made the descent from the Barrancas after much hard work, but no accidents. We then started down the bank of the slough to the gulf, but had gone only about half a mile when when we ran into a mud hole, from which it took us two or three hours to get the ma chine. We went back and camp ed in the mouth of the canyon, and the next day Frank and 1 and our guide went on down to the beach afoot. We could have easily taken the machine down, but there were heavy sand stretches which would have depleted our gasoline, which was running short.
 "Drom where we camped to the beach itwas about five-pos- sibly siX-miles, and eight to the clam beds and @ fresh water spring.
 "We started on our home run on the morning of the first, and would have made the return trip in one day had it not been for an accident which befell us on Il level road.
 "While we were gone between five and six days, the actual run hing time between here and our camp on the bank of the Santa Clara Slough, five miles from the beach proper, in less than one day. We took two hours to get to the top of the Barrancas, and from there to Yuma ten hours and forty five minutes, the dis tance being about 125 miles. Not so bad, over a road said to be impossible to automobiles. This running time can be- shortened, now that we have learned the road.
 "What will be the cost of con struction of the proposed road and what good will come of it? As to cost, $IOO0 will fix road over which an auto can pass in a day from here to deep water, and of course every dollar expended above that sum up to the point Of road perfection will but in crease the running speed. Eve thousand dollars wisely expend ed will made a fairly good road, and ten thousand will make an excellent one.
 "Such a road, coupled with the right kind of arrangements with Mexico, will make of Yuma and the Gulf beaches the most popu- lar winter resort of the South west.
 "At the Gulf the climate, as we found it, is simply perfection and the waters teem with fish of many kinds. When the tide is coming in one can wade out in the water until it is about knee deep and fish of all sizes and kinds will come up and play all around him. One weighing at least fifty pounds played around me at distance of six or eight feet, and as 1 was wading tc shore 1 encountered a huge crab, which 1 kicked out on the beach. It looked so tempting that we roasted him and had Q feast. l. was the sweetest morsel 1 had , ever eaten.

YaGla Valley Live Stock dnl OtIl0f Industries

It IS uOUUbI LII II duJ SOCGlOh VI the United States possesses more ideal conditions than Yuma val ley for the raising of pure bred live stock. Alfalfa comes so near to being a perfect ration in itself that colts, when pastured upon it continually, develop rap idly but perfectly. Range cattle coast bound, can be prohtahly pastured for several months and then re shipped without extra transportation charges - other than for the increase in weight. The hog industry has proved profitable On the larger ranches. Hogs require very little atten- tion. The profits are large, as the increase is rapid and invest ment small, no buildings being required except cheap breeding pens. With an abundance of sbade and water, one man can care for 8O0 head. Hogs. are grown principally on alfalfa and finished for the home market on barley or corn, one acre of alfai- ia providing sufficient pasture to grow ten or twelve to the finish ing stage. Hogs demand from , to 8 cents per pound live weight on the Los Angeles market.
 The poultry industry promises to become one of considerable magnitude and importance. The climatic and other conditions are ideal for an economical produc- tion of poultry products. One essential for success is an abund- ance of shade. This can best be provided by fruit trees. Since chickens can forage on green alfalfa tHesehtire year, the feed bill is greatly reduced. The most inexpensive structures will answer for housing poultry. The mining camps and coast cities provide a remunerative market for all the poultry products. The price paid for eggs in Yuma for the past six years ranged from 20 to 5e cents per 6ozen. Foul trymen who have kept an accn- rate record of income and expen ditures have realized an annual net profit of $40 per head for several years. An excellent combination for the farmer on small tract would be fruit trees, alfalfa, poultry and bees. The fruit trees would provide shade for the poultry; the alfalfa plant ed between the rows of fruit trees would supply the only re- euired green food; the chickens would benefit the orchard by keeping down insects and eating the decayed or wormy fruits; while the bees, in gathering hon. ey, would assure perfect pollen ation of the fruit trees. Various combinations of similar charac- ter can be worked out by the small farmer who wishes to in- sure a profitable income from a small area.

other portable articles taken, if the
new board of commissioners can
prevent it. The wonder is that
someone has not tried to steal the

slaughts on the county property
the new head janitor, J. G. An

on the inside of all the court
house doors except those at the
east entrance, which are under the

doors will be bolted every evening
