WANT LEvEE STRENGTHENED.

Citizens of Yuma, through their mayor and the Yuma County Con- mercial Club, have asked the War Department to make an immediate in spection of the government levee on the Gila river which protects Yuma so that possible danger from spring floods may be averted. It is said that owing to the recent construction of levee on the California side of the Colorado river in Imperial county, for the purpose of protection to the In- dian Reservation, a heavy strain is imposed on the Yuma levee. The channel of the Colorado River mar rows at this point and it is believed that the Yuma levee should be raised several feet. Three has been no gov ernment inspection since the levee was constructed by the War Department after the big flood of 1893.

The Girl Who Makes Friends.

The girl who makes friends wher-
ever she goes is delightful. She
comes into a room like a sea breeze,
fresh, laughing, nodding right and
left with happy impartiality. She is
ready for anything, and never throws
cold water on your plans. She gener-
ally sees the funny side of things,
and she has such whole-hearted
way of describing them that you feel
as if you had seen them yourself.
She does not retail gossip, though,
and she does not know how to be
spiteful, or sarcastic, or bitter and
she never exaggerates to produce an
impression. She knows how to be
clever and funny without being IN
kind, or untruthful, or coarse. She
likes everybody, not considering 1t
her duty to suspect one of evil until
they have been proved not good. She
prefers to consider the world good
until it proves itself otherwise. She
always gets along for she has friends
everywhere. Her heart Is big enough
to contain everybody, and she never
forgets her friends or is forgotten by
dramatically Magazine.
