SentineI'S Drag Net

The Sentinel is we'll satisfied
with the yieldings of it's recent
series of editorial articles relat-
ing to the features and results
of a year of democratic admins
tration of Yuma county affairs.
This campaign of recounting of
democratic mismanagement is by
no means completed, bat it is not
amiss to instance the attainments
thus far.
The farmers of Yuma valley
year ago instituted a movement
for good highway from Yuma
to the Mexican line. The demo
cratic party offers them instead
d piece of a territorial highway
to Phoenix, at a cost of a special
tax of 25 cents on the hundred
dollars. It also endeavored to
lay upon the territorial board of
control the responsibility for this
maximum levy, but the Sentinel
proved by the report of the board
of supervisors proceedings that
the Yuma supervisors requested
the board of control TO make this
ina ximum Levy. Our democratic
contemporaries have nothing to
say in reply. The taxpayers and
voters of Yuma county can rem
der their verdict later.
The Sentinel pointed out that
the record Of county expendi-
lures and management was Oh
scured by the fact that the clerk
of the board does not comply
with the law requiring the prep
aration of itemiZed statements of
all expenditures. The clerk of
the board, in public print, over
his own signature, admits that
this is true.
The editor of the Sentinel has
been accused of personal animus
against the members of the board
of supervisors in the publication
'of the articles referred to. This
lis wholly untrue. The editor of
the Sentinel has had intimate,
friendly relations with Supervis-
+ors Marvin and Shanssey for
years and has still. Our sole
animating purpose is in behalf
of the public good and the inter
ests Of the taxpayers of Yuma
county.

Lucky Squaw

A valuable tract of land ad-
joining the.tOwn of Mill Greek,
Oklahoma, has passed to Mrs.
Belle Frost, a Choctaw Indian,
by order of the Supreme Court
of the United States. The WON
an brought a suit in the courts
of the District of Columbi to
compel the secretary Of the inte-
rior, then Mr.. Hitchcock, to de-
liver to her a patent on 40 acres
of land that had been executed
to her in accordance with the
provisions of the statute.

An OYefWOrked AttdChe

Clerk "Peachee" Miller of the
Yuma county board of supervis-
ors is an unappreciative man.
The Sentinel last week made a
sympathetic inquiry as to wheth-
er he were not Overworked in
the task of recording the details
of the expending of the taxpay-
ers' money by the board, and if
this were the reason for his non
compliance with law in a certain
respect. "Peachee" admits that
this is true, but fails to express
any gratitude for the Sentlnel's
solicitude. 'Peachee" says that
the services of himself and a
stenographer have not been
equal in ordinary working hours,
to recording the supervisors ex-
penditures of tax funds, and that
he has had to put in two weeks
Overtime" during his incumben-
cy. This is unjust. Either the
supervisors should limit their
expenditures to ''Peachee's"
powers as transcriber, or they
should allow him compensation
for overtime" They might as
we'll waste the money that way
as in other methods employed.
Put IN q kick for overtime,
"Peachee," and if they don't
allow it, you can have space in
the Sentinel to publish your
wrongs to the world at large.

YUMA. ARIZONA. THURSDAY. MARCH 3. 1910.
To Dam the Colorado

Colonel Leeds has recommend
ed that the War department
grant permission to the Califor-
MIA Development Company to
build low temporary dam across
the Colorado river just above the
international boundary to divert
enough water into the Imperial
canal system to supply the pres
ent needs of the farmers of the
Imperial valley.
1t is understood that the dam
will not be more than Is inches
high, as it is said that will be
sufficient to fill the intake of the
canal system. 1t is to be built
of brush and small rock, so that
it will be readily carried out in
case of flood, and supply of
explosives is to be kept at hand
TO blow it up in case it should
uot go out soon enough and
threaten an overflow.
The Colorado river now flows
into Volcano Lake, below the
international boundary, and by
this diversion of its course it is
said to have fall of Is feet more
than formerly between the intake
of the canal and the lake. This,
it is said, has resulted in cutting
down the bed of. the river so
that it is now 81 feet lower at
the intake than formerly.
1t is believed that if the great
stream is again diverted to it's
old channel the bed will once
more "silt up" 10 its former level.
The construction of the dam,
it is said, will not take long, so
that the Imperial ranchers will
soon have all the water necessa-
ry for their crops. At present
the supply is only about two
thirds of the demand, with the
prospect that 1t might be cut off
entirely unless the dam were
built.

Engineering Triumph

One of the greatest triumphs
in the history of engineering is
the completion of the tunnel, or
series of tunnels, through the
Andes, which allows direct rail
way travel across South Amer
ica from Buenos Ayres to Val
paraiso. Hitherto winter trav-
elers went by way of tie Strait
of Magellan, rough sea voyage.
The tunnel has been in process
of construction for many years,
and twice the work has heen
abandoned IN despair. A New
York syndicate solved the prob
lem at last, and it is announced
that trains will be running early
in the coming summer. There
are three tunnels, with an aggre-
gate length of eleven miles. The
highest station on the line is
about 1O5O0 feet above sea level.
The third of the tunnels is de
scribed as screw shaped, and
drops 200 feet in distance of
1000 feet. The total cost of
the work is about twelve million
dollars

And the earth rose up to bold me, 10

Years, ages, cons, spent and forgot

To answer the call that led me, to carve
my road to the sea,
Till my food swept out with that
greater tide, as tireless and tameiess
and free.
From the far wild land that bore mel

the uplands, piled
Like stairs TO the door of heaven, thu

Down from His place with honor, to
look ON the world and know
That the sun and the wind and the
waters, and the white ice cold and

And out of my ceaseless striving !

On my tawuy, sfnuous shoulders no

washed no feet of cities, like slave

remarkable speech in the senate
last Saturday in eulogizing John
D. Rockefeller, as follows: .

"I do not know whether Mr..

5000 TRY FOR
YUMA LANDS.
Every State Represented In Rush
to Secure 4O-ACre Farm
r. A. Examinerl

IL n. Examiner
Three thousand men and wom-
en-residents of every state and
county in the Union-gathered
in Shrine Auditorium early yes
terday morning to make applica-
ton for ranch in the Yuma
Indian reservation, which was
recently opened for settlement
by the government. Although
the Federal officers had announc-
ed that there were only 173 units
Of 40 each to be allotted, none of
the men or women displayed dis.
couragement; each felt that he
or she would make one of the
lucky filings and get ranch
near the Colorado river.
So anxious were some of the
applicants to become tiIlers of
the soil that they slept on the
pavements of West Jefferson
street last night SO that they
would be sure to get into the hall
when the doors were opened.
At exactly eight o'clock the
doors were unlocked and from
every entrance to the building
the homeseekers poured into the
auditorium. Until nine o'clock
the doors were kept open.
An hour after the doors had
been locked every occupant in
the hall had tiled an application
for a homestead. AS the home
seekers filed from the building
they left their application cards
with the Federal officers. In
the afternoon the applicants ap-
piled at the government land
Office, where formal notice of
filing was made. Register Buren,
stated last night many of the
applicants will make their fling
today.
Although it was feared by
Federal officials that there would
be an uncomfortable rush by the
applicants to secure Hrst entrance
into the auditorium yesterday,
Police Lieutenant A. w. Murray
stated that he never han
died a more orderly crowd. Men
gave up their positions in line to
women with evident willingness;
no dispute or dispute or disturb
ance marked any portion of the
application proceeding.
A majority of the applicants
we're white-haired men and wOm-
en- eager to secure a permanent
home. Their conversation, filed
with pathos, was in striking
contrast to the jocularity of the
younger applicants.
Register Frank Buren, said last
night that the nd awards would
be made March 20. "We will find
that for every farm there are
about twenty-five applicants.
When we find this TO be the case
the numbers will be placed in
box and from the lot one will be
drawn which will be declared the
winner. Then within a period
of ten days the first payment
must be made"

me such a great fight Yes, at that
moment was almost sorry that was
taking the championship away from
him. But it was all in fair fight.
Fitzsimmons rolled over, rolled back
again, got to his knees and up to his
feet. AS before, l gave him plenty Of
time. When he poised himself to
start fighting again I stepped in and
jabbed him with the left Fitz tot
tered. Then, judging the blow very
carefully to make it just hard enough
to finish him, not trying to knock his
head off, I brought the right over.
Down went FitzsimmonS for the last
time. He fell on his face, lay still
moment, rolled over on his back and
was counted out.
There was roar from the crowd.
On all sides men We're scrambling into
the ring. Brady and Delaney were
through the ropes in a second and al
most carrying me back into my corner
in their excitement.
l pulled away and walked across the
ring to Fitzsimmons, who had been
carried to his corner by the seconds
and propped up in his chair. He was
still dazed, but held up his hand feebly.
"Well, Fitz, we couldn't both win,"
I said.

BODY AT THE END OF MY ARM.
came together rushed, and Fitz avoid
ed me and kept out of danger. Then
we both settled down to work. There
wasn't much doing that first round,
except that l had a chance to realize
Fitzsimmons' strength by the way he
pushed me away from a clinch. He
seemed stronger than Sharkey. Later
on in the fight, from the way he hit,
l should judge that he was third as
strong again as the sailor-yes, at least
a third.
In the second round l began cutting
loose. l punched the champion two or
three good ones in the body, and he
clinched. / pulled his arms down and
tossed him away. He came back with
a rush, but was swinging wild. 1
caught him on the ear with a right,
and Fitz stepped away and scratched
his head with his glove, laughing.
Look out, Jim; he's bluffing," Ryan
called from my corner. But l was
doing my own fighting now l jumped
in as suddenly as l could and shot my
left fist straight to the champions
jaw / could feel the weight of Bob's
body at the end Of my arm. The
punch lifted him fairly from his feet
and dropped him fat on his back on
the floor.
Afterward when Fitzsimmons told
Martin Julian he was 'drugged" when
he fought me Julian said:
Eyes, Bob, that punch JEFF hit you
in the second round drugged you all
right"
After that round 1 fought like ma
chine, doing my work steadily. Keep
that right hand down. Use it for the
body" Billy Delaney told me in my
corner. Fitz, sore over having been
knocked down and beginning to re-
alize that he was up against hard
proposition instead of a "big dub"
began walking into me and trying
hook after hook. He didn't go for the
body much. Almost all Of his blows
were sent for my jaw. Many Of them
I blocked or ducked, but few reach
ed me, and the champion surely could
hit In the middle of the fourth round
1 dropped the crouch for a moment
and Strengthened up to slug, and then
as Fitzsimmons whirled into me
bent over and drove my right into his
ribs SO hard that he went down to
his knees and stayed there five Sec
onds. l waited and gave him plenty
! of time, and we were taking it easy
| when the bell rang.
From that time on I used the right
| and the left for the body hard and
often, and l could see FitzsimmOns
gradually weakening. He began to
know after awhile that nearly every
rush would end by my getting in a
hard punch along the edge of his ribs,
| yet he never stayed away and never
| stopped trying. The way he recuperat-
| ed in every minutes rest after going
| to his corner tired and wabbly was as
| tonishing. No matter how weak he
| was at the end of round, he always
came up strong and full of fight for
the next one.
In the seventh round, think it was,
Bob landed terrible right handler in
the pit of my stomach. 1t was as hard
as the blow he finished Corbett with
| at Carson. Lucky for me, | had a
thick layer of muscle to bounce the
blow off. 1t hurt, but it didn't stop
me or slow me up very much, although
