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 mornlugs occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder- 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. a three story post office building, also of brick and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, arc a s35. .0CO school building a S75.COO ice plant, a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depos, and the probability Of a new court house to cost S15QC0. 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-datc tourist hotel. IL should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only tranSportable like mineral waters, and one could send conSignmentS of this Yuma winter air to tie East, the inspiration of it's hcalth-giVinS qualities would bring 25t co 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 Dy hiiZz raS and SnOWStormS to attract eity full every wiater he fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with Ult effort the part CT the people. But with valley iulI 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 al America There iS every thing there to furnish tourists with the most hea!thfGl and deciici0uS food. and 1.-the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek 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 0f Yuma aS a health resort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require Sl,000 in cash to buy single acre of it.

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart Of this big valley, which is some tweuty-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 a crop of alfalfa on this eX- periInental 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 wi the greatest luzuriaace, and this rich anuvial 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 eariy days Of May. and apri- cots by the middle of the same month. Chic Aeas and turkeys flourish there in the winter time beyond all experience anywhere else.
 Tbe rainfall is exceedingly light and comes 9Ely three or four times in whole winter With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- able the dry and not overLeated climate prevailing in the winter months, chickens are free from the disease that make their raising difficult elsewhere.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atteT- ton once more, and for perhaps the thou sandth time, to the riches Of She soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the Gepositidg of this mass of debris during all the past ages. Going through the country on the Arizona side of inc river, for several miles below Yuma, one encounters the same type or country and soil tlTat is fouTd in the Imperial Valley country around Brawlcy, CaleXico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Hi nOis has >touished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility Of the valleys Of the Nile has been 8 r.@ft,c af history for al least 60C0years.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges Of Arizona and California lowered toward the stars, al least twice as high as they do now rains were very freducTt and came down in lorrcntiaI 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 it's flow. Tire Cobra GO sink was at that time great inland sea, which spread over the country on both sides of where the river now runs. As tbe erosion Of winds and storms, IauGslides and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year, she great river carried down vast amount Of silt, erosion from the rocks full Of phoa- pha;es, lines and dlsintergrated grahites, as well as tie vegetation along It's 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 erosicn of rocks and river banks, the trccs and vegetable mould torab from the banks still came down and settled into the bottom Ji tile great iriisJT. faile. ns ceogicaf process went on from age to age to our time, leaving he Colorado at Yuma stream abouf half mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep ia the deepest portiona
 It is not necessary to remind Californians that the Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river the Colorado because Of the reddish color oE it's waters. U is the Colorado up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and down past Tie Needles But at this tinse Of tbe year, after passing the month of the Gila, instead ofthe red river it becomes She brown river. II actually looks today as if ten per cent of its flow was silt and only ninety PCT cent water.

BY GEORGE \. BURTON. In Los Angeles Times.

IL is very far from a senli-!niilCniEm since
 three little open beats under the fag of Spain
 first touched the waters Of the western hcmi- sphere and revealed the new world to the eyes Of Europeans. Ii is only a liitle over a century since the United States of America yprang-s so to speak, like Pallas Athene from the brain of love, completely armed ad- dition to the family Of nations II is but title .ycr haira century since California be- came a rart ofthese United States Of merica. and less than a generation since the settle, ment Of the Great Southwest began.
 In all the I25 years since the Republic was founded, also in the half cersury since Cali rpIni;, became one of tllc States or inc Union. and during every year Of tie Fast ;hirty,a re- a!izaIi0n Of the vast riches Of ihe American continent, of tse territory Of lhe United states and of this Great Southwest hts been more and more astonishing 10 the minds Of men. One would suppose that by today we knew pretty thoroughly what the undeveiop- ed resources of the Great Southwest might reasonably be 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 little about what Uiere is on the Coast, and as most of theSe years have been spent in and around Los Angeles, he naturally had little con ceit t!lat he was pretty wei acquainted with tue Great Southwest. Last week q trip 10 the Colorado ii:vtr bottoms. below Yuma made him feel as q tenderfoot who had come in on the last train. New to him, this wonderful region and it's possibilities are pretty well known to great many readers Of The Times by the stories published, if not by the denIon- Str;ltion of their own eyes.
 Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles from wherr the government is putting in the great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers. Ii is twelve miles from Yuma down the river to the Mexican b0undTy 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 westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is only a few niles.
