What a Truthful
Tourist Said

The following is from q Nebrnsks
paper of recent date:
Here's what one enthusiastic tourist
wrote home from Yuma:
IF atmosphere were only transport
able like mineral waters and one could
send copsignments OF this Yuma winter
air to the east. the inspiration of its
health-giving qualities would bring
$4,000 tourists each winter to the banks
of the Colorado river. Yuma needs
only to make known its climatic attrac.
tious. The fertility of the valley be-
low will almost make itself L nOwn with
out effort on the part of the people.
But with 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. If the
air in this region does noG drive dor
tors TO seek Il living elsewhere it will
be because the people do not know how
10 live properly"
This tourists testimony recites the
experience Of every winter visitor TO
Yuma, whether his quest he for health,
pleasure or place to found Il comfort
able home.
Yuma is one of the largest small
cities Of the Southwest. It's business
and professional men are ''live ones. "
1t has an excellent system of water
works, electric light and power plant,
seventy-fve ton ice plant. gas works,
good schools and church edi6ces, a
$50, 900 high school building and one of
the best schools in the territory or else
where. Miles Of macadamiZed streets,
bordered 10y orange and pepper trees,
traverse the residence section, other
miles of macadam for the busy streets
have been ordered by city council
imbued with the proper progressive
spirit. Enlerprising business houses
supplying large section OF country
roundabout as we'll as local trade, offer
surprisingly large and varied stocks.
Within few years the $500 popula-
ton of the city will swell to 10000 or
more. 1t is inevitable. The influx of
newcomers who come to stay never
ceases. Building activity in the city
and on adjacent ranches, with the daily
transfer OF real estate, tells the tale Of
growth and prosperity.
Seven hundred men are at work on
Laguna dam. which j. nearly COM
pleted. The chief engineer predicts
that 1909 will see the turning of water
into the irrigating canals. Long be-
government levees protecting the low
lands on both sides of the Colorado TO
the Mexican line will be finished, obvi-
ating all danger of damage by food.
Yuma is not gambling on the future
nor on anything else. 1t is sanely pre-
pairing for expansion and wealth: but
can no more be denied it than its daily
genial sunshine and the balmy, health
giving zephyrs waited from the Gulf of
California 1t is just as certain To be a
city-at no very distant day-of great
commercial Importance, surrounded by
an AGRICULTURAL, fruit-growing section
unique in its peerlesSness. US the mighty
Colorado, bearing as it has for centu-
res the wealth OF countless nations in
its wave, is sure to follow by Yuma'~
door its aged path to she Pacific.

Wonderful Gold DiSCOy-
cry in Northern Yuma
County

What appears TO be the biggest
strike in the history Of Arizona is re-
ported from Northern Yuma county,
near Salome. Samples of the ore taken
To Phoenix showed values, according
to four assay certificates, To be $685.
80, 1854, $50 ago Sl79, 40 to the ton
The fabulous find was made by three
old prospectors-Ad Alger, Herman
Griffin and Henry BARKER.
The strike has been investigated by
the noted expert, fitr-Mac, who says
it is genuine and that the reported
values have not been exaggerated.
Great excitement prevails and the
gold fever has become epidemic Thou
sands are rushing To the new field from
every point of the compass.
The new strike is called the Arizona
Northern. IL is located i've miles
northwest of Vicksburg, and fifteen
miles east of Bouse, in the west end of
the Harcuvar mountains.
Where the strike was made there is
an immense outcrop OF spar and quartz
about sixty feet wide and two hundred
feet long.
The same formation covers an area
six miles long by four miles wide and
is cut by hundreds Of dykes, along
which are outcrops and stringers of
brown spar and hematite in hundreds
of places.
The schist belt starts tour miles west
of Salome and covers about twenty-five
square miles at the west end OF the
Harcuvars.
The ore is in masses of wire gold and
small nuggets so rich that chunks Of
the rock cannot be pulled Srart when
broken, except by using considerable
force.

A Hanging in the Early Days.

In list of the states prisoners
convicted of murder, in the Wind
sor Journal of November IL, no mem
ton is made of Samuel l.. Godfrey,
who was hanged in Woodstock Feb.
Is, 1918. The case was in many
ways one of the most remarkable in
the criminal records of Vermont.
AT the September term, 1915, of
Windsor county court in Woodstock
Godfrey was indicted for the murder
of Thomas Hewlett, keeper of the
Vermont state prison, Nov. Ia, 1914.
He had three trials before three diff
ferent sets of judges and verdict of
wilful murder was three times found
against him. The sentence of death
was three times passed upon him,
and three times, says " broadside /"
issued at that date, the day was fixed
for his execution. On the two first
DAYS "vast numbers assembled to
witness the awful scene," but not
half the number that saw the execu-
ton on the third date.
The first trial took place in 1915,
Titus Hutchinson defending God
frey the second and third trials
were held in 1916 and 1917.
The indictment reads with much
solemnity and verbiage that mot
having the fear of God before his
eyes, but being moved and seduced
by the Devil" the said Godfrey
feloniously, wilfully and of malice
prepense did make an assault on the
said Thomas Hewlett, inflicting a
mortal wound, "of which said mortal
wound the said Thomas Hewlett, on
and from the said Fifth day of No
vember in aforesaid year of our Lord
Eighteen Hundred and Fourteen,
until and upon the second day of
December in the year last aforesaid,
at said Windsor did languish, and
languishingly did live, and then and
there, that is to say, on the second
day of December in the year of our
Lord Eighteen Hundred and Four
teen, at said Windsor, the said
Thomas Hewlett of the mortal wound
aforesaid, died"
Godfrey was executed on Wood
stock Green " in the presence proba-
bly, Of more than two thousand peo-
pie. The broadside referred to says !:
"It is said to be the first instance of
the kind which has ever occurred ON
the east side of the Green Noun
tains."
