CUT SEVEN CROPS YEXRLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart eff this big valley, which
is some twcnty-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 u crop Of alfalfa on this ex-
perimenta farm, and for seven consecutive
months th"y viii Gus succeeding crops The
only months when the crops not cut here are
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluvfal soil will be
noted in 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 tie middle of January tomatoes will be
ripe By the first of March ripe grapes will be
gathered in the early days of May, and april
cots by the middle of the same Haonth. Chic
kenS and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond ali experience anywhere else.

only three or four times in. whole winter

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 nps of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January. but on the mesa
the breath Of frost never touches the most del
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the FEEDER
| al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
Yuma is q busy, up-to-date town. The more
modern Improvements consist of several blocks
Of attractive brick buildings. three-story post
Office building, also of brick, and many other
nice structures. Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made, are

siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili
ties of the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. 1t should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds OF tropical vegetation If atmosphere

tourists every winter to The banks of the Colo
RADIO River.
Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic
attractions in the parts of the East swept every
year by billiards and snowstornS to attract
city full every winter. he fertility OF the val
ley below will almost make itself known with
out effort on the part of the people. But with a
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
ealthfn and delicious food aud if the air in
that region does not drive doctors to- seek d
living elsewhere. is will be because the people
DO not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909,
and in ten years from today the attractions of
Yuma a health resort and the fertility OF
these bottom lands will be so we'll known that
it will require 81 900 in cash to buy single
acre of it.

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 freddert and came down in
torrcntial volumes all along these mountain
ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages
was a mighty stream, sweeping down debris
in tons every second of its flow. The Colora-
do sink was at that tine 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,
the great river carried down a vast amount
ofsilt, erosion from the rocks full Of phos
pilates, Times and disintergrated GRANTEES, as
well as the vegetation along its banks; and
this was all deposited in what are DOW the
sinks OF the Colorado.
As the mountain tops we're 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 geogical
process went on from age to age to our time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma stream a bout
half mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep in the deepest
portion.
1t is not necessary to remind Californians
that the Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river ttre Colorado. because Of the
reddish color of its waters. 1t is the Colorado
up in the Grand Canyon IN Arizona and
down past TIE 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.

1t is very far from semi-millenium since
6hree little open boats under the flag of Spain
first touched the waters OF the western heml-
sphere and revealed the new world to the
/ eyes of Europeans. II rs only little over a
century since the United States of america
sprang, so TO speak, like Pallas Atheue from
the brain Of love- completely armed ad-
ditiOn to the family Of nations. It is but
! LITTLE -ver half a century since California be-
came part Of these United States OF America,
and less than n generation since the settle
ment of the Great South west began.
In all the I25 years since the Republic was
founded, also in the half century since Cali
fornia became one of Che States of the Union
and during every year of the last thirty, n re-
/ alizaton Of the vast riches of the American
continent, of the territory Of the United
states and of this Great Southwest has been
more and more astonishing to the minds of
men. Cine would suppose that by today we
knew pretty thoroughly what the undcvelop-
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 pIummet 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 as 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 a trip 10 the
Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma made
HIM feel as a tenderfDot who had come in on
the last train. New 10 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
stration of their OWE 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. II is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river to the Mexican
bounGry line on tEe Arizona side OF the river
At one point, just below Yuma, tine fnterna-
tional boundry line runs up along the river
which there takes a westerly trend and from
Yuma To Mexico is only a few miles.
