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

al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious q la!ity.
Yuma is busy, up-todate town. The more
modern Improvements consist of several blocks
of attractive brick buildings. three-story post
ONCE building, also OF brick and many other
nice structures. Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made are a
So. 0CO school building. a s75C0) ice plant a
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees a
larger passenger depot, and the probability Of
q new court house to cost $4,000. There is con-
siderable business done there. bat the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast poSsibili
ties OF the place They should at once erect an
upto-date tourist hotel II should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds Of tropical vegetation. If atmosphere
were only t7Gnsportable like mineral waters,
and one could send eonsignmentS of this Yuma
winter air to the East. the inspiration of it's
hcaIth-giving qualities would bring 25,C00
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 -
city full every winter. The fertility of the val
ley below viii almost make itself known with
out effort or the part Of the people. But with q
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 delicious food. and if the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek Il
living elsewhere. it will be because the people
co not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1903,
and in ten years from today the attractions of
Yuma as health resort and the fertility Of
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require 900 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 crop of alfalfa on this ex-
perimental 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
luxuriance. and this rich alluvial soil will be
noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying hog raising,
the production of poultry and vegetables, which
one heSitates TO call early or late as they will
be perennial. New potatoes will be produced
in the middle of January, tomatoes will be
ripe b. 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
keaS 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 whole winter
With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget-
able the dry and not ovcrheated 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 Colora-
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 intoxicstingly salubrioUs hat no words can

1. Is very far from senl-Inilienium since
three little open boats under the flag of Spain
first touched the waters of the western heHi-
sphere and revealed the new world to the
eyes OF Europeans. 1t is only little over a
century since the United States OF America
sprang, so to speak, like Pallas Athene from
the brain Of Jove, q completely armed ad-
diti0n to the family OF nations. 1t is but
little -ver half a century since California be-
came a part of these United States OF America,
and less than 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, re-
alIzation OF the vast riches OF the American
continent, of the territory Of the United
states and Of this Great Southwest has been
suore 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 lie expected to become. We have
not reached the depths OF this great ocean of
wealth with our plummet line yet
In a residence of forty years on the Coast
the writer thought he knew a little about
what there is on the Coast, and 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 trip to the
Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma made
HIM feel as a tenderfoot who had come in on
the last train. New to him, This wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty Well
known TO great many readers Of The Times
by the stories Published, If not by the demon
Rtration of their own eyes.
Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles
from where the government is putting in the
great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the
ella and Colorado Rivers. 1t is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river to the Mexican
bound-y 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 westerly trend and from
luna to Mexico is only a few miles.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges of
Arizona and California lowered toward the
stars at 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 mighty stream, sweeping down debris
in tons every second of its flow. The Colora-
do sink was at that time a 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.
abe great river carried down vast amount
of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos'
pilates, times and dIs:ntergrated GRANTEES, as
well as the vegetation along Its banks; and
this was all deposited in what are now the
sinks ofthe Colorado.
AS the mountain tops were worn down, the
rains became less frequent and less in 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 geogicsl
process went on from age to age to our time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream abuut
half a mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep il 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. 1t 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 ella,
instead Of the red river it becomes the brown
river. 1t actually looks today as if ten per
cent OF its flow was silt and only ninety per
cent water.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object OF this story is to cali 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
depositdg 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 Illi-
nois has astonished 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. know that this lower
Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
If you ask farmer along this stretch of
country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will
open with establishment al your ignorance.
He will tell you no one knows whether it is
20 feet, Gee or 6,C00 feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. II is SD thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that it never breaks. 1t is as
easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re-
spends 10 cultivation in a way that is mar
vicious.

 After the first no runs were made till the fifth when the Varsity boys rubbed the Coyotes the wrong way for four runs. Salezar. who was the first man to pick up the stick for the Var
 sity. got to first on balls. Hatcher , knocked an assist and got to first with
 it, advancing SaleZar to second. Will

 men on bases Rigg sent a double to center scoring SaleZar and Hatcher. while Wilkey got to third. Talmadge knocked an assist scoring Wilkey. He then stole second while Galloway was beating the ar. Parish knocked to first which was muffed and Rigg SCOT ed on 1t. Taimadge was put out while trying to steal third and Rice flew to second ending the inning with four ihiAH lNN AANt NiSllbIS llldhli4E Allt StDIt five to nothing.
 The Coyotes were foaming at the mouth when they came to bat in the sixth. Without single run to their credit they started in to do things. Hahn got first on balls and quickly demonstrated hfs predatory ability by getting to second. Jones got to first on an error of short and stole second while Hahn stole third Duhnson beat the air. and first base was donated to Fannin because he would not strike at Hart's curves. Hahn started for home and then changed his mind and started back to third again. The ball got there before he did which made two out. TOlleson hit to right field and scored Jones. A hit by Hurley scored Fannin and Tolleson.
 In the last half of the ninth the Coyotes did their best to get the nec- essary runs to tie or win but the base ball gods drowned on the desert dogs In this inning Irvine made a pretty hit to center field and then bad luck again reigned and Viault. after getting three balls famed out.
 The game today as already tipped off. will be won by the Coyotes. Hur- ley will be in the box and remain there till one or more of his curves is out by the Varsity In that event he will be replaced by Hahn. Hatcher will go into the box for the Tucson nine.

A SPORTY EXHIBITION

The gods of baseball-if there are any-had more to do with the losing of the game yesterday by the Phoenix high school to the aggregation repre- senting the University of Arizona. than poor playing The Coyotes made five hits to the Varsity boys four and should, according to the tabulated Scores. have won the game; but some how the hits did not come at the right moment and the errors did, so the Tucson boys walked out of the grounds with laurel wreaths around around their heads.
 The game was played at Eastlalle park and was one of a series of four that are to be played just to see which nine can scalp the other. Another game in the series will be played this afternoon and the one best bet is that the Coyotes will win. This advance tip was given out by Manager Hersch- el Smith of the Coyotes and may be relied on. The game will be called at 2:45 o'clock
 The game yesterday was a sporty exhibition from the first to the fourth inning inclusive and from the sixth tD the ninth inclusive. The fifth wasn't quite so sporty. IL was in this innIhg that the Varsity boys walked over the home plate four times without stop ping to count The Coyotes did not like this very much and the hair on the backs of their necks began to rise. So. just to show what they could do when they got real mad. they tore off three runs in the next inning and the score was five to three And that is the way the score remained ill the last man famed out in the ninth and the game was over.
 The Varsity boys started right in in the first to get their runs. WiIky was the first man up and he was pre- sented with first base On balls. Rigg
