At a regular meeting of the Board of

Be it resolved, that notice be given
through the public press that the

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 nips 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 a busy, up-todate 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 a
S35, 600 school building, $4,000 ice plant a
fine club house for the railroad employees, a
larger passenger depot and the probability OF
a new court house to cost S75, 900. There is con-
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 II atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send consgnments of this Yuma
winter air to the East, the, inspiration OF it's
th-giving qualities would bring 25.COO
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 bliZZ; rdS and SnowStormS to attract a
city full every winter. The 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 deligh tful
winter resorts in all America. There is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
healthfnl and delicious food and if the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
living elsewhere it will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909
and ir ten years from today the attractions of
Yuma as a health resort and the fertility of
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy a single
acre Of it.

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 TO twelve miles wide, down ON the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting a crop Of alfalfa OH 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 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 an abundance of green alfalfa and vccet-
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 a thing
so intoxicatingly salubriouS That no words can
describe it. Those deserts Of America as we
have regarded them heretofore, seem TO oefy
the Ills that human nature elsewhere is so
prone to contract and suffer from. The atmos
phere is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlessly
clear, the air mild as possible, and every
breath seems to be an inspiration of new life

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object OF this story is to call atten-
ton once more, and for perhaps the thou
sandth time, to the riches of the soil along
the Colorado on both sides, incident to the
depositidg of this mass Of debris during all
the past ages. Going through the country
on the Arizona side OF the river, for several
miles below Yuma, one encounters the same
type OF country and soil that is found in the
Imperial Valley country around Brawley,
Calexico and other points west of the river
The fertility of the black prairie soils Of ILL
nois has aS'onished people engaged in agri-
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility Of the valleys OF the Nile has been a
matter of history for at least COCO years. Those
who are familiar with Illinois prairie soil,
and those who know what the valley OF the
Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower
Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
If you ask farmer along this stretch OF
country II the soil is six feet, his eyes will
open with establishment al your ignorance
He will tell you no one knows whether it is
so feet, 800 or 5000 feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. II is SO thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that IL never breaks. 1t is as
easily worked as heap OF ashes, and re-
spends TO cultivation in a way that is mar
Vicious.

itself was about Is working days, with team
11s days. The sesbania used as green manur-

RECORD GAME FOR
LOCAL BALL TEAM
Spectators Declare 1t Was. Equal to. Big
League Contests When, Oh When
Will They Play At Home
TEAM Is In SECOND PLACE
FOR PENANT-MUST WIN AGAIN

Last Sunday Pleasantville and Egg
Harbor played each other to stand
still in a IL inning contest which was
allied by umpire Stack on account OF
darkness, the final score being A. This
5 the first time our boys have handled
themselves in such game. Heretofore
innings have always been sufficient to
ind out who could win. This game will
90 on record surely as it is the only one
of its variety and is only exceeded III
blank innings by the Pitman game, which
went innings without score.
People from, all parts of the county
saw them play. A large portion were
from our own town. If you want to
know all about it just ask someone who
was there. They will say this: "The
boys did fine. 1t was the best game I've
seen outside of the big leagues-and it's
Il shame We can't have such games of
ball in our home town."
All the run getting was in the first
6 innings, and after that all went nip
and tuck until the last.
On Sunday at Egg Harbor there was a
meeting of the managers from all four
county teams. The unsportsmanship of
Mays Landing was dwelt upon. Mr..
Stewart thinks because his team has
won the best out of games that they
don't have to play the remaining sched
uled games. They still have games
apiece with the other county teams.
This means not only the impossibility of
winning the game series but means
financial loss as well. There is nothing
fair in it. As a consequence Mays Land
ing has been ruled out of the race. That
means chance for Pleasantville as the
following form shows. All we have to
do is win one game from Egg Harbor
and we will have the county champion

WHERE TWO DOORS MEET;
ORDINARY CHARITY VS.. REAL

People say, and with more or less good
reasoning, that this is bad old world.
Maybe it is, but when one hears OF cases
Of practical Christianity and charity, one
is apt to dispute the affirmative asser-
tion. The Press has been notified of an
instance that must appeal to lovers Of
the practical side of life.
For long time Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
E. kiger have protected and fed an aged
and infirm man who had no claim OH his
benefactors for unusual kindness beyond
what is due the aged i'll the brotherhood
Of man. Mr.. II. NJ. Meyer was without
kin i'll this part of the country-and he
was without funds. The kigers support
ed him without complaint and recently a
relative was discovered in Nebraska. Mr.
Meyer wanted to leave for the western
state, therefore kindly hands took up
the work of raising money for the long
trip. Mrs. kiger solicited money and on
tuesday Mr.. Meyer, in joyful mood, left
for his future earthly home. More than
$50 was necessary and this was quickly
raised, and now the Kiger family wish
to express their appreciation of the gener
osity of those who have helped to make
one old man happy.
