The Yuma Sun says there is no danger of the recession of grade in the Colorado reaching Yuma because "the point at which the cutting ap- pears is about eighty miles down the river and forty miles above the Gulf of California" The Sun even doubts that the cutting will affect the I'm perial intake. The facts are that the recession process has been observed by the Reclamation Service engineers thirty miles below Yuma and ninety five miles above the gulf. The break of the Abejos is only forty-five miles below Yuma and the old channel of the Colorado is almost dry for the next sixty-five miles. The river has shortened it's course from the Abejos head to tidewater by at least twenty miles,

FIRE IN Fl CENTRO
Blaze Started in HubbePs Corral Spreads to Adjoining Cottage
 and Old We'll Derrick.

Bl Centro's most extensive fire oc- cured on Thursday forenoon. It re- suited in the destruction of the fence and sheds at Chauncey Hubbell's cor ral on Railroad avenue, a cottage be- longing to Mir Reinbach, and damage to the well derrick belonging to the the Clampitt Brothers.
 The fire started in the Hubbell cor ral, from some cause unknown, and the litter and straw quickly carried it to the sheds and fences. The wind caused it to leap to the adjoining Reinbach cottage and the well derrick, so that the section was well ablaze when the fire department arrived. The fires nearness to the large pack ing shed on the south side of the Southern Pacific Railroad and to large piles of box shook caused considerable uneasiness, but the flames were con- finued to the places mentioned. The house was overturned after it was partially consumed, and the well rig was saved after it was badly scorched.
 The fire company did good work under the direction of Messrs Humber and Egerer, but the need of a new water system was painfully apparent.
