ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges OF
Arizona and California lowered toward the
stars, at least twice rs high as they do now,
rains were very freduent and came down in
tOrrcntiaI 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 time 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 q vast amount
OF SILT erosion from the rocks full of phos.
pilates, lines and dIsintergrated GRANTEES, as
well as the vegetation along Its banks; and
this was all deposited In what are now the
sinks Of the 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 monld torn from the
banks sim came down and settled into the
bottom OF the great inland lake. This geogical
process went on from age to age to our time,
Deaving the Colorado at Yuma stream bout
half a mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep Ia the deepest
PORTION.
Ii is not necessary to remind CalifOrBians
that the Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because of the
reddish color of its waters. IL is the Colorado
MP In the Grand Canyon in Arizona and
down past The Needles. Bot at this time Of
the year. after passing the mouth Of the ella,
instead OF the red river 1t becomes the brown
river. 1t actually looks today as II ten per
cent OF its iow was silt and only ninety per
cent water.

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 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 month. Chic
kens 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 a whole winter.
With cn abundance Of green alfalfa and veget-
able the dry and not overheated climate
prevailing in the winter months, chickens are
free from the disease that make their raising
difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South
crn 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 thing
so intoxicatingly salubrious That no words can
describe it. Those deserts OF America, as we
have regarded them heretofore. seem 10 6efy
the Ills that human nature elsewhere Is so
prone TO contract ard suffer from. The atmos
phere is as dry as punk, the skies cloudleSsiy
clear. the air mild as possible, and every
breath seems to be an inspiration OF new life.

BY GEORGE N. BURTON.
I'm Los Angeles Times.

It is very far from a semi-milIenium since
three little open boats under the flag of Spain
first touched the waters OF the western hemi-
sphere and revealed the new world to the
eyes OF Europeans. 1t Is only a little over a
century since the United States OF America
sprang, so to speak, like PaIlas Athene from
the brain OF Jove, a completely armed ad-
dition to the family of nations. 1t is but
little -ver half century since California be-
came a part of these United States of America,
and less than a 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, a re-
aIization 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. One would suppose that by today we
knew pretty thoroughly what the undevelop-
ed resources OF the Great Southwest might
reasonably he expected to become. We have
not reached the depths OF this great ocean OF
wealth with our plummet line yet.
I'm a residence of forty years on the Coast
the writer thought he knew little about
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 tenderfoot who had come in on
the last train. New to him. this wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty well
known to a great many readers Of The Times
by the stories published, il not by the demon
stration 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. II is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river TO the Mexican
boundry 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 a westerly trend and from
Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.
