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 morniags occasionally during December and January. but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the F'eder- al experiment. station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality
 Yuma is a 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 arc being made, are ss5, ,OGO school building. S75.COO ice plant, a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees. larger passenger depot, and the probability of a new court house to cost $750G0. There is con- siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast posSibili tics of the place. They should at once erect an up date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportaUle like mineral waters, and one could send consgnmcnts of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration of it's health-giving qualities would bring 25.c0O tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known It's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by bliZZ irdS and Sn0WStornlS to attract u city full every winter. The fertility of the val lev below will almost make itSet 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 Eealthfnl and decliciouS food. and if the air ln that region does not drive doctors to seek a living elsewhere. it will be because the pcopie do not know how to live properly.

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 4 rizona 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 Brawtey, Calexico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of llli- ncis has a. tonished people engaged in aGri- culture for nearly one hundred years.

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 gre 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 vi the greatest luxuriance, and this rich alluviai soil win 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 carly 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 apri- 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 whole winter. With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- able the dry and not overkeated climate prevailing in the winter months, chickens are free from the disease that make their raising difficusI elsewhere, There is no spot in South eEn Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro duction of corn as this valley along the Colora do River.

WENATCHEE DAILY WORLD THURSDAY OCTOBER p 1910

gested in these columns yesterday, H.
O. Stechhan, who has just returned
from Wenatchee, says that every eff
fort should be made to get these two
elevens together in Seattle, because
their records for the season so far
indicate that they are the strongest
teams in the state.
For severaY years past Wenat-
chez high school has been improving
in football FORM" said Mr.. Stechhan
in discussing the proposed game.
The team became a championship
contender last year, although it was
not quite strong enough to wrest the
title from the west side boys. But
this year the Apple Pickers have real
class in every department of the
game. In Coach SEWERS, who came
from Pocatello. Idaho, where he won
the intermountain championship,
Wenatchee has a man who learned
the game at Michigan, and he has
done wonders with the players in
the month that he has been working
with them.
THE Wenatchee eleven averages
40 pounds to the man. Speed is
one of its strong points. Plays get
under way with remarkable rapidity
Half of the players are sprinters who
shine on the track, so that there are
plenty of men to carry the ball with
out the loss of time These boys
started the season with mass plays,
but soon found that they could gain
more ground in less time by means
of open work. The result is that no
team in the northwest uses the for
ward pass more often or with more
unerring results than Wenatchee.
Captain Foster, the fullback, is
perfect in this department. He shoots
the ball with accuracy and receives
it perfectly. 1t is doubtful if he has

motion was made by Councilman
Scheble that the contents of a grave
in the city park be removed to the
cemetery. The city started off by
paying salary of $50 for the city

came and the meeting of March %,
1898, show that the bill was cut to

The minutes of March 20 show a
record that Councilman Parr had
been absent from the meetings for
three consecutive weeks and it was
vacant.
On March 21. 1899, there was a
proposition made to deed the city
10 miners inches of water under the
Wheeler ditch, better known as the
Spring Hill ditch, for a consideration
of $1,000. o. G. France offered to
sell the city a spring in No. l Can

The minutes of September Gath,

the assessed valuation of the city of
Wenatchee was $127,315. This looks
