Randolph, New TOWnSite

On Monday morning of the
present week w. III. Elliott, as
sisted by County Surveyor II.
G.. Johnson, began the survey Of
the new townsite which is TO be
plated and placed upon the
market by the Yuma Project
Townsite Company, as the syn
dictate designates itself. The
tract to be thus sub divided is
situated on the California side
of the Colorado facing the recla-
nation service headquarters, and
comprises 120 acres of the old
Jaeger homestead. A model
town will be laid out, true to the
points of the compass. The
streets will be so feet wide, with
the exception of the main street,
which will have q width of 100
feet. The townsite is to be
thoroughly advertised all over
the southwest, activities in that
direction having already COM
menced, and it is stated the lots
will be purchaseable early in
December.
The townsite will be crossed
at one corner by the Southern
Pacific railroad, and is protected
by the levee lying back of the
latter. 1t is surrounded by the
Yuma Indian reservation, which
is soon to be thrown open to set
tiers. Not a great deal Of clear
ing will be necessary as a great
part of the land was under Guilt
walton for many years. 1t was
homesteaded by the father of the
present owner, L. j. &. Jaeger,
proprietor of the Santa Rita no
tel in Tucson. Previous to be-
ing patented the stage station,
with it's corrals and buildings,
used by the Overland Stage Co.,
was located upon it. The old
Jaeger ferry connecting the two
sides of the river also operated
at a point upon this land, which
is, in the Arizona sense, historic
ground.
The syndicate that will handle
this townsite proposition is made
up and backed by Tucson and
Yuma capital. 1t is understood
that the new town will be chris
tened Randolph, in honor of Col,
Epes Randolph of the Southern
Pacific.

Boston Tourists

A train de luxe of eight cars,
carrying sixty eight members of
the Boston Street Railway Asso-
citation accompanied by their
wives and families, on a junket-
ing trip across the continent,
passed through Yuma last night
as extra No. 4 shortly after six
O'Clock, bound east. The party
are returning from California,
having previously attended a
meeting of traction magnates in
Denver. The train made stop
of half an hour here, during
which time the Boston people
proved good patrons of the In
dian curio vendors at the sta
lion, some of whom sold out
their entire stocks of beadwork,
pottery and baskets.

Large Realty Deal

Despite the predicted dizziness
in realty circles during the few
months preceding the first of the
year, one of the largest land
sales of the past year was con
summated on Friday of last
week, when Marshall Young,
late of Prescott, but formerly OF
Yuma county, purchased from
H. e. and E. M. Pinney FAC
acres Of valley land, the consid.
Grafton being SIS, 600 The acre
age in question is located about
six miles down in the valley and
is considered a particularlychoice
tract of land. Mr.. Young and
bis family will establish them
selves upon their purchase AND
join the valley colony of farmers,
The Pinney brothers, the sellers
expect to leave shortly for Flor
ida, where they will invest III
timber lands.
Marshall Young. the purchas
er of the tract, is said to have
been the first white child borr
in Yuma county, which perhaps
accounts for his coming back to
spend his remaining years among

Recently the letters written to
the distant relative have varied
somewhat from the original; the
political prisoner having become
noted Russian banker who alb
seconded, leaving deficit of some
millions of ronbles, killed in a
quarrel in England another Rus
sian, and finally took refuge in
Spain, where he was apprehend-
ed and charged with manslaugh
ter.
This change of character, how
ever, is immaterial, and in the
future more new characters will
probably be introduced by the
gang. The scheme is the same,
and the public is warned to place
no credence in such Or similar
letters.
Every effort has been made by
the Department of State and its
representatives in Spain to un-
mask these scoundrelS and bring
them to justice, and the Spanish
authorities have also been active
and several mem bers of the gang
have been apprehended and held
for trial. but so far no convic-
tons have resulted, owing prob
ably to the popularity Of the
Spanish law referred to in the
report of the consul general at
Barcelona.

Death of ..BiIsie" Dunno

At an early hour yesterday
morning William j. Dunno
many years a resident of Yuma,
passed to ''that bourne from
whence no weary traveller e'er
returns" He had been practic-
ally an invalid for years, yet his
vital hold upon life was wonder
fully tenacious, and that only
accounts for so long surviving a
malignant illness.
Billie Dunno was square man
in business, and those who knew
him well were his friends,
He was born in Chicago March
II, 1867, but most of his life was
spent in the West. He leaves a
wife and three children, in com
Portable circumstances; also two
brothers, John and Edward, in

sisters in Ell Paso.
The funeral took place from
the Catholic Church at 7:30 this
morning, services being con-

MR.. TAFTS ATTITUDE.
Phoenix Republican,


Saws the democratic Globe
Silver Belt:
"Thick headed Arizona editors
of the democratic persuasion are
inclined to criticize President
Taft for advising that Arizona
adopt sane constitution. Such
advice is evidence that Mr. Taft
is an iiouS to see Arizona admit
ted to the union and has desire
MT to see the people unwittingly
erect barriers. %
There has been no occasion
for anybody to misunderstood
Mr.. Taft's position on the ques-
ton of statehood. Mr.. Taft
simply said, in substance; 81 am
for you, and will help you all |
can; but [ cannot promise that
you will get in, for there is an
other branch of the government
which must be reckoned with.
It will improve your chances
with congress if it is known that
you are level headed. And when
the door is opened for you to
come in, please, for your own
future welfare, see to it that you
come IN with simple constitu-
ton which will commend itself
to sensible people. Don't allow
Missionaries and cranks to tie
your hands in the constitution so
that you cannot legislate for
yourselves as you see fit IN fu-
ture years. It is exceedingly
difficult TO amend a constitution.

any living soul lest the secret OF
the valise and the hidden recer-
tacle be indiscreetly betrayed.
The valise, after all, with its
concealed certificate of deposit,
is the key to the situation and
possession must be taken Of it
before anything can be done IF
said. This $50 cunningly set
forth by the prisoner) is very
evident to the distant relative,
and SO he quite frequently pre-
serves the secret intact, and in
stead of consulting a lawyer or
writing to the American consul
general at Barcelona he quietly
sends a. draft for the sum de-
manded to the good priest and
awaits results. Of course he
waits in vain, and the poor, dead
prisoner and the good priest and
! the darling daughterin the cour7e
of time pass out of his life for
ever, leaving him only an un-
comforta BILE memory of the mouey
he so cheerfully contributed to
the confidence game.
For nearly twenty years these
sameknaves have been practicing
their swindle, and it is needless
to suggest that they are very
carefully organized; they have
confederates, not only in the
United States but in most other
countries. The confederates Sc
lect a man and find out all they
can about him; they get hold of
family names, family origin and
family characteristics; this in
formation is transmitted to the
rascals in Spain, and letters are
at once written to the prospect
i've victim. The scheme is pre-
scented and developed in a very
plausible way and many of our
fellow-countfym have bitten
promptly and cheerfulIy.
Under the Spanish laws a
felony must be consummated be-
fore the police may act, and a
mere attempt to obtain money
by false pretenses does not ap
pear to warrant arrest. The
money must be actually paid
over and the prosecuting witness
must be present in propria per
soma to testify; otherwise prose
cution would be useless.

The lumber business of this county
which has been the mainstay of this
territory for a number of years-in
fact, since the advent of the railroad
through the cOunty-but which has
been very much on the wane for the
past twelve months, is showing signs
of revivification. For the past sew
eral days lumber manufacturers have
been receiving orders, some OF them
being quite large, and the prices are
the best ever offered for select stuff
One Of them who operated several
mills when the demand was at it's
highest, and who continued to saw
wood even during the lull in the
trade, recently shipped a car of quar-
tered oak to New York. This lot was
from two to five years old and the
pieces from one and quarter to two
and a half inches thick. 1t was I'M
one of the finest cars of
lumber ever shipped out of the State
and brought the splendid price of
s1,454.16.

NEW COUNTERFEIT
TWENTY-DOLLAR

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Sc.
cret service has discovered a new
counterfeit 500 gold certificate, which
is similar TO the one discovered In
March, 1908. The words "in gold
coin" on the face of the note are
printed in gold tint, which is char
acteristic of the first issue Of gold
certificates of the series of 1906.
These bogus notes have been circu-
lated principally in Cuba, but num-
Der have been located in New Orleans,
where a Cuban was recently arrested
with $500 in spurious money on his
person. the most of which was in the
new certificates.
The yellow tint on the back OF this
note is of much deeper shade than
in the genuine, and the mechanical
and tinting mark is so coarsely done
that It would not deceive any careful
handler of paper money.

vile, running was over a dirt road,

almost to Nashville there was prac-
tically no road at all, and the hills
seemed insurmountable. Only once,
