ANOTHER RAILROAD TO YUMA
Passes Through Rich Agricultural
District

The iTeE road to Yuma from Ealext
CO has been completed and trains are
now running into Yuma daily. The
line Is built to El Rio, about scyen
miles west Of Yuma, where connec.
9tion is made with the Southern Pc.
.cific. This road is important to Yu
ma. in that it will put us in close
touch with new markets for produce
and also because this will be made 4
division point.
From recent developments It WOULD
appear that there must be some sig.
nificant connection between this road
and the San Diego-Yuma road, which
John D. Spreckels is supposed to be
building from San Diego to Yuma. An
article from San Diego paper pub
feys TO recent conference between
Harriman and Spreckels, and the sub
sequent letting Of grading contract
in section OF the Spreckels road. In
ali likelihood an understanding has
been reached between these two mag.
yates; what that is can only be con
jectured. But most probably the
Spreckels road will be built to Ca!ex,
leo, Or some point in the Imperial val.
ley where connection will be made
with the Calexico cutoff, and from
there to Yuma the two roads will be
one and the same. The route of the
San Diego road as outlined by the
surveying engineers is from San Die
go via Tia Juana, through Mexico to
Jacumuba valley, thence across the
boundary line again and into the In,
perial valley.
The route OF the Spreckels road as
outlined by Col. Richards. the chief
engineer, would also indicate that the
two roads will be merged into one
and that under Southern Pacific man
agement.

Assessment Completed.

County Assessor G. V. Meeden re-
turned home Monday morning from his
annual tour Of the county, making as
sessments for the current year. Capt.
Meeden visited all the mining camps
in the northern end Of the county and
found them all Aourishiug, especially
so as to Wendendale, Salome, Bouse,
Parker and Quartzsitc, where there
was marked activity. y notable thing,
he said, was the case with which he
was able TO collect personal property
taxes in the north end. The amount,
too va four times that IF last car and
all PUNCHED up cbeerfully, indicating n
degree OF prosperity most gratifying.
