WORLDS MARATHON
MARK FOR JOHANSEN
Swedish Runner Smashes All
Indoor and Outdoor Records
for Classic Run.

NEW YORK, February "A new mara
thon king was crowned in the Sixty ninth
Regiment Armory last night. when Phure
JOhansen of Sweden defeated Jim Crow
ley and Hans Homer. setting new figures
for the twenty-six miles 365 yards run.
Johansen broke all records, both indoor
and outdoor, covering the distance in .
hours 36 minutes and 551a seconds.
At the finish of the grueling run the
victor had a nine and a half lap advan-
tage over Crowley. Holmer had enough
of the fast pace after the runners had
gone eighteen miles five and a half laps.
He then left the track complaining of
cramps. Despite the big margin by which
he won. Johansen cut all kinds of time
from the old records.
The best previous indoor record was
made by Dorando when he beat Johnny
Hayes in the Garden in hours A. min
utes 2O2-5 seconds. The best outdoor
American record was made by st. Yves
in the Polo Ground derby. when he nego-
tiated the distance in hours 40 minutes
and 80 seconds. Lungstrom bettered this
recently in. Canada by running the dis
tanoe in > hours and 80 minutes. And

swede Romped the Last Four Miles.

In the last four miles he raced past
Crowley again and again until he was
almost ten laps in front when he breasted
the tap for the finish of the long run
Crowley continued until he had completed
the full distance.
Johansen's victory was applauded by a
small but enthusiastic crowd of follow
ers of long distance running. Only about
a thousand persons attended the race in
the big armory, but they were more than
| repaid for their visit by seeing a great
contest.

the affirmative.
Although before the meeting many OF
the members expressed their intention of
making few remarks in the course OF
the discussion, no one did So This unan-

fact that the issue was delicate one

open debate on it. However, the maj
vote displayed clearly that the majority

Records Fall Like Tenpins.

Up until the thirteenth mile the runners
made good time, but 1t was not until then
they began to better record figures. In
the thirteenth they began to cut Shrubb' 8
mark with Big Jim Crowley leading the
way and JohanSen and Holmer bringing
up the rear. Crowley had a good advan-
tage. but the other two were apparently
fresh.
At the end of the fifteenth mile Crow
ley had two-lap advantage over johann
sen and seemed to have the race sewed
up. Then there was Shift in the posi-
tions. Johansen began to move up with
a ground-eating stride and Holmer began
to fall back. Slowly but surely the
Swede closed up on Crowley, though Jim
was by no means through.
Crowley Continued Game.
But in the twenty-first mile the Swede's
great stamina began to tell. He had
closed up considerable ground on Crowley
and only a few yards separated the pair.
After two laps of the mile had been
covered Johansen passed Crowley. The
latter was laboring. but he gamely con-
tinued the chase. 1t was stern one from
then on. for Johansen had plenty OF
speed and he raced along like sprinter.
For all that Crowley hung tenaciOusly
to the Swede's heels, and the former
amateur champion of Sweden had his
work cut out for him to shake Crowley
despite the fast clip at which he was 60
ing. 1t was not until almost another
mile had been covered that Johansen
managed to gain a full lap on Crowley.
Even then Crowley wouldn't give up the
chase. He numbered along behind the
speedy Scandinavian. To quit was the
last thing in Jim's mind. Johansen, as
he reeled off the miles remaining, widen
ed the gap separating him from his only
remaining opponent. and with each stride
increased his lead over the tired Crowley.

RICHES OF s0IL 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 Gepositidg 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 BrawIey, CaleXico and other points west of the river The fertility Of the black prairie soils of Hi nOis has aN'Onished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been 6 matter of history for at least coco years. Those who are familinr 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 botb of them
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishment ai your ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether it is 50 feet, sec or 6,C00 feet deep It is practically without bottom. 1t is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re- spends Co cultivation in way that is mar velOuS.

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 on this ex- pcrimental 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 luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country fer dairying, hog raising the production of poultry and vegetables, which one hestates to call early or late, as they will be perennial New potatoes will be produced tn the middle of January, tomatoes will be ripe Dy 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 whole winter With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- able the dry and not overloaded 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- auction Of corn as this valley along the Cobra do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter, cheese, eggs. poultry and pork to be raised on twenty acre farm will amaze those who have the experience in American agricultGr affairs
 The winter climate around Yuma is a thing To intoxicatingly salubrioUs That no words can describe 1t. Those deserts of America, as we have regarded them heretofore. seem to defy the lis 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 aa inspiration of new life.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges Of Arizona and California lowered toward the stars at least twice as high as they do now, rains were very fred tent and came down in torrcntal 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. The Cciora- do sink was at that time great inland sea, which spread over tue country on both sides Of where the river now runs. AS the erosion Of winds and storms, landsiideS and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year,
 the great river carried down a vast amount of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos-
 pilates, times and dIsintergrated granites, as
 well as the vegetation along it's banks; and this was ali deposited in what are now the sinks Of the Colorado.
 hstle mountain tops were worn down, the rains became less frequent and less in volume
 but tie erosion of rocks and river banks, the trees and vegetable mould torn from the
 banks still came down and settled into the
 bottom of the great inland iake This geogical process went on from age to age to our time, leaving the Colorado at Yuma 8 stream about
 half mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep i1 the deepest portion.
 It is net necessary to remind Californians ! thet the span 7h nlisslonerie- and explorers called this river the Colorado because of the
 red lish color ofits waters. U is the Colorado Ur in the Grand Canyon il Arizona and i vn past Fhe Needle. But at this time oi th" year, after passing the mouth Of the Gilai instead Of the red river it becomes the brown
 rlycl. II actually looks today.a as if ten per cent of its flew was silt and only ninety per cent water.
