Changes Order

AS we go to press the follow
ing notices are received from
Secretary Ballinger making a
change from his former order
relative to the Indian reservation
lands:
2. Warming is hereby given that no
person will be permitted to gain or
exercise any rights whatever under
any settlement or occupation begun
prior to April l, 1870 on any land
covered by this notice, and all such
settlement or occupation is hereby for
hidden. 1t is not necessary to make
personal inspection of the land on the
Reservation. Entries may be made
by selection from the plats on
file in the Los Angeles land Office, the
eutries in such case, however, being
made at the risk of the entryman.

Comply with the Law

Will Editor Beasley Of the
Yuma Examiner, self-appointed
guardian and lord protector Of
the Yuma county board of super
visors, its subordinates, super
numeraries and factotum, kindly
vouchsafe this information:
Why does not P. J. Miller,
clerk of the board aforesaid,
comply with the statutory pro
vision requiring him to prepare
and present to the board an an
nual statement showing in detail
each allowance made by the
board during the year covered?
Such statement must show in a
segregated form the particular
kind of service rendered, the
amount allowed, ETC.. together
with the character and amount
of all claims of whatsoever pur.
pose, detailed account of EACH
ITEM. Is the diligent clerk so
oyerburdened by his function Of
recording the magnificent dis
pensing Of Yuma county tax
funds continuously in progress
that be has not time to conform
to this stipulation of law within
his regular daily shift Of strenu
Gus toll? If so, there is chance
for him to get in a little cover
time," a la Expert Willis. No
doubt he could secure due rec
ompense therefor.

Republican Ticket

The Yuma Republican Club
has decided to place q straight
party ticket in the field at the
town election in May. At "a reg
ular meeting of the club Tuesday
night, presided over by Vice
President II. II. Donkersley, q
committee of five members ap-
pointed at the previous meeting,
comprising Thomas D. Molloy,
G. II. Colman, W. A. Peterson,
H. Fl. Donkersley and Max
Czuczka, reported in favor of a
party ticket and their report
was unanimously adopted.
The committee report.also' out,
lines the method of procedure to
be followed in placing the ticket
in nomination. The new primary
law not applying to towns, and
there being no city central com
mittee, it is up to the club to
institute proceedings. A mass
meeting Of members of the re
publican party, whether mem
bers of the club or not, will be
called for April 10, to be follow
ed by primaries May 2 and a
convention May 4.
The committee also suggested
10 the club as proper topics of
discussion the removal of the
Madison avenue S. p. trackage
to Prison HiIl, and the renova-
ton of ella street, Maiden Lane
and RincoA Alley.
Non partisan town elections
have prevailed in Yuma for a
number of years and party
election will be a somewhat rev,
olutionary measure. The prob
able course Of the democratic
bparty has not been publicly out,
lined. lt has been reported that
their organization favors endors
| ing q mixed ticket.
Fhe republican club adjourned
early out Of respect to the mill
tia companies ball, after ap-
pointing as committee-O. G..
Johnson, T. D. Molloy, J. r.
McCue, R. L. King and Max
Czuczka-tC draft resolutions to
be forwarded to Congressman
Ralph Cameron at Washington,
encouraging him in his attitude
on the measure calculated to
disfranchise a portion of the
Spanish American vote, in which
he is opposed by Mark Smith.
The next regular meeting of
the club is scheduled two weeks
hence, but called meeting will
probably be held with a week.

The BufdeGed Council

Editor Beasley of the Yuma
Examiner is fond of gibes and
innuendoes aimed at the Yuma
city council. Thus far the mem
bers of that body appear unper-
turbed by such thrusts. Perha ps
they are immune from MOSQUITO
bites.
Ask any member of the Yuma
city council, from the honor
able mayor down the line, to de
fend the course OF the m pnieipal
administration drawing to a
close, and any one Of them will
present a defense Of it, and a
scanning up Of its accomplish
ments that will cause criticism
to pause awhile. AS a member
Of the council sta ted in discussion
d few days ago:
"The Yuma city council has
no actual apologies TO make. Its
members alone know what it has
to contend with, what it has been
engaged in doing, and what the
difference is between what they
would like to accomplish and
what is possible for them to
accomplish. 1t is an easy matter
to kick at town officials, devoting
time taken from their own prf-
vate business, without recon,
pense, to public business and
improvements. 1t encourages
other citizens to take their
places not. The present city
council has as all times had on
It's hands extensive improvements

Educational
EXtraYagdnCG

The Yuma Examiner, uuder
pretense of replying to certain
remarks in the Sentinel anent
the unduly expensive school sys
tenn, simply reiterates the Senti
nePs statements. The Sentines
cast no reflections upon the ca
pability, energy or fitness oS
any instructor or executive con
nected with the Yuma grammar
or high schools, nor did it seek
to imply that any instructor was
recompensed above the generaI
salary rate prevailing; bus it
again puts forward the frr
opinion-and we think every re-
aective taxpayer and school
patron in this district will agree
that the present school system
of Yuma with its separate heads,
divided responsibilities and ac-
companying high salaries, is un-
necessarily expensive, even to
the point of extravag gance, as
we'll as subversive of systematic
school work. The school sys.
TEN of the district should be
placed nnder one head from die
tates of management as we'll 80
economy. This is what prevails
in similar. sized towns every
where and should be put inso
effect here.
The point of the Examiners
article is to endeavor to- sEoT
that the grammar schools, With
eleven teachers. and a principal
drawing $185 month, are more
proportionately expensive than
the Union high school with three
and head drawing,
respectively: principal, 5000. 90;
first assistant, S133. 33; second
and third assistants, each, $f00
IL month. This is a direct injus~
tice to the schoUl board of dis
trict No. I. The Sentinel does
not believe that Clerk Lockwood
and associates on that board are
less honest or less capable econ
omists than Clerk Ingraham and
his associates on the Union high
school board. The Examiner is
extremely reckless in IT'S impli-
cations.
The tendency in Yuma public
affairs would seem to be to run
everything on as expensive q
scale as possible. It is high
tHne to cali halt. The school
system is a good place to begin.
The Examiners opinion that
school affairs are not proper
topics to discuss in newspapers
is the most humorous thing seen
for some time.

BOOT HILL
BY MISS sHARLoT M. HALL

In the old days of the frontier
the burial ground in many a town
and mining camp was called
BOOT Hill," because d large part
of its inmates died literally with
their boots on" Today these
gra yeyards, with their sunken,
half obliterated graves, are all
that is left of many once thriv-
ing camp. Their ma tneless dead
are the drift that mark forgotten
Echannels whereNonce the tide of
life flowed full and stFong.
Go softly, you whose careless feet
Would crush the sage brhsh, pungent,
sweet,
And brush the rabbit weed aside
From burrows where helground squir-
rels hide
And prairie dog his watch tower keeps
Among the ragged gravel heaps.
Year long the wind blows up and
down
Each lessening mound, and drifts the
brown.
Dried wander weed there at their
feet,
Who no more wander, slow OF
fleet.
Sun bleached, rain warped, the head
boards hold
One story, all too quickly told
That here some wild heart takes it's
rest
From spent desire and fruit1ess quest
Here in the greasewood's scanty
shade
How many daring soul was laid!
Boots on, full-garbed as when he died;
The pistol belted at his, side
The worn sombrero on his breast
To prove another man the best.
Arrow or knife or quick-drawn gun
The glad, mad, fearless game was
done;
A life for stakes, play slow or fast
Win, lose, yet death was trumps at
last.
Some where the bar rooms tfnse1
flared,
Or painted dance hall wantons stared.
Somewhere the lone,s Brown ranges
barred,
Their parchcd length to a parching
sky,
And God alone might hear the cry
From thirst dried lips Sthat, still and
cold,
Seemed stfll to babble, Gold, gold,
gold"
Woman or wine or greed or chance
A comrades shot, an Indian lance
BY camp OF canon, trail or street
Here all games end, here all trails
meet
The ground squirrels chatter in the
sun;
The dry, gray sage leaves, one by one,
Drift down close-curled in odorous
heaps;
Above, wide-wfnged, wild hawk
sweeps;
And on the worn board at the head
OF one whose name was fear AMI
dread.
A little, solemn ground owl sits,
All! here the man and life are uuftsl
Go softly, nor with careless feet
Here all games end, here all trails
meet

Length Of Life Among Animals.

The maximum length of life
of some of the best known ami
mails is as follows; The horse
lives to a maximum Of 3S years
and the donkey like period; ;
the dog does not exceed 25years,
the rabbit from 8 to 10, the goose
80, and the duck, the. hen and the
turkey a dozen years
Among the animals wing the.
best established reputation for
longevity are the crow, which
lives 100 years, and the parrot
and the elephant, which attain
an age of $50 years. Carp, on
the other hand, appear to have
psurped their reputation, which
was based on i'll understood facts
from Chantilly and Fontaine-
bleau. They rarely become CEN
tenarians.
The tortoise appears to be the
animal that lives the longest,
and the record of longevity is
surely held by one weighing $50.

A JUST RULING
in YUMA LAND
DRAWING
Secretary BaIlinger Dis
perses Waiting Line

Secretary Ballinger's ruling of
last Saturday, telegraphed to
the Los Angeles land office dis
persing the line of Yuma reser-
vation land seekers, and which
was the cause OF deep disap-
pointmeut to the men in line,
has provoked considerable dis
cussion in the Los Angeles press,
which in the main views chiefly
the pathetic side of the land
seekers seemingly harsh depriv
alton. On impartial inspection,
however, it would seem to be
wholly just and expedient.
The line of land seekers in
front of the Los Angeles land
office was not formed with the
co operation of the officials of
such Office, nor yet with their
dlsapproval. The only author
itles who definitely took cogni-
zance of the line formation was
the Los Angeles police, whose
jurisdiction over reservation land
openings and the manner of con-
ducting them must be held as
limited. The Los Angeles land
Office telegraphed to Secretary
Ballinger for instructions and he
promptly passed upon the mat
ter.
In evidence that Secretary
Ballinger desired to be perfectly
fair, there is contained in his
dispersal order directions to reg
lister the persons in line, thereby
giving them a certain measure
of priority. This, when one
considers the methods that have
been prevalent in land openings,
is really more than they were
entitled to. To come down to
ruthless, cold facts, the persons
in the advance line at Los An
geles were virtually ON the same
basis as the old time 'sooners"
of the past land openings, namely,
those who stole into the prom
ised land before the opening date
and thereby secured undue ad-
vantage Of choice. 1t has yet to
be shown that they had any
right to establish a preferred
right to file before the date of
the opening.
To illustrate by practical ex-
empli6cation, leaving the line of
land seekers as it stood last Sat-
urday; A man leaves Yuma to
enter into the land opening
scheduled to occur March /. He
goes to Los Angeles and finds
every allotment disposed of by
a line formed ten days in advance
of the advertised date of open
ing. Would there be any fair
ness or Justice in this? Would
it amount to anything less than
ma aking a present of the Yuma
Indian reservation to the people
of Los Angeles2 Doesn't Los
Angeles get enough tribute from
Yuma as it is?
The mistake made by the land
and interior department was in
attempting to do away with the
drawing feature obtaining at
past land openings. Despite the
somewhat Objectionable lottery
appearance, it would seem to be
the only satisfactory Eethod of
disposing of the prior rights to
file on such lands. Secretary
BalIiuger's ruling practically re
stores this drawing feature, which
will be utilized to settle all tied
slings.
To reiterate: A land opening
announced to occur on March 1
should occur on that date and
not be superseded by u land seek
ers' line formed on February II.
Secretary Ballinger has proved
himself to be a just and impar-
tial executive.

Stock Water On the Farm.

Having had much experience anu
dissatisfaction in regard to stock
water for hogs on the farm, ! think
have solved the problem that to me
is very satisfactory. am so
as to own a farm with no other facll-
tiles for water than a we'll and to
provide water at all times gave me
much trouble. as ] went over the long
list of fountains or the market, many
of which are worthless and very trou-
blesome.
The fountains for barrels and tanks
that are usually sold by dealers are
all right SO long as clean water IS
kept inside and not in daily use by
stock, and will show up much better
than when in actual use. The life OF
them in my experience is short and
frequently you find your hogs walloW-
ing in a mud hole near by where the
float or valve has failed to DO its
work and then to get inside Of that
barrel and repair it (if you cam IS
no small job. In winter you have no
good from them without a tank
heater. and once the water becomes
frozen your float is ruined. and next
season you are in the market Tor a
new system of waterworks. While
looking for something to do the Work
more satisfactorily ! happened onto
a catalogue and saw a cut of a stock
fountain. l bought one in 1906,
used it that year, and next season Or
dered two more, and ended the trou-
BILE in my case. 1t is simple and any
one can repair any part of it, except
the float, in q few minutes, n can
instantly get at any part OF 1t, and a
little care in winter will insure water
all the time, as we'll as in summer.
I have one on a barrel and n on
a tank, both on sleds, ready to move
any time or anywhere with a horse.
I have a windpump at the corner OF
four twenty-acre fields in eighty acres
on my farm, and a cattle tank that l
can change to suit my convenience;
then a tank six by two by two feet
for hogs; on it is attached a fountain
so placed that water will run from the
pump into either tank, and it is al
a ready and clean, as l keep the
hog tank covered. Last fall l turned
eighty head Of spring shoats into a
corn field and put my tank in the
corner next the pump and sold the
hogs the last of November. At no
time did we have any trouble to keep
water in readiness further than to
turn on or off the windmill. My
spring pigs now know the location of
the water tank and visit it quite
often, ever before weaving / have
had as many as 160 hogs and pigs
use one tank in summer and be well
supplied.-S. Martin, in the Indiana
Farmer.

Ducks and Geese.

A friend of ours says geese should
not be allowed in a young orchard,
as they damage the bark on young
trees.
Little ducks will not stand as much
heat as chicks. Keep ducklings too
warm and some of them will be yer
likely to develop leg weakness.
Don't begrudge the young ducks
or goslings what they eat. They grow
faster in proportion to the food they
eat than any of our domestic fowls.
When a dashing rain comes Up
u ducks must be looked after.
Ducklings or goslings will chill and
sometimes die the same as chicks
when they get wet to the skin if not
given proper attention.
1t is a mistake to allow goslings
or ducklings to get into the water be-
fore they are full feathered on their
breasts.
Water vessels should be arranged
so ducklings may drink freely without
getting wet by dabbling in the water.
A small trough with a Slated cover
makes a good drinking vessel for
ducks.-Inland Farmer.
