Strengthening Bridge at
 Needles

The Santa Fe IS preparing for a resistance of high water on the railroad bridge at Needles which is said to have been weakened somewhat by the floods of a year ago. The War department re- gently gave the company permis- sion to strengthen the big canti- lever bridge by building a pier in the center. The work of sink ing to bedrock in the middle of the river will be one of the greatest undertakings in bridge building in the west, the bed- rock being more than ninety feet deep at that point. The build ing of central pier is made ne cessary by the heavy and unusu- al traffic of the road and the use of the heaviest types of loComo tives.

James Pennie PensiOned

The following from the Havana (Cuba) Post will be very gratify- ing to the many friends of Jim Pennie, who has landed interests in Yuma valley and is we'll known here "Jim" Pennie, as all his intimateS call him, served with Funston under General Gomez during the Cuban rebellion which led up to the Spanish merican muss and later to Cuban inde- pendence. Pennie was wounded a number of times while fighting with and for tue Cubans, but his worst misfortune was the con- tracing of a very malevolant and baff1ing disease which nearly cost him his life, and when finally checked he was minus one foot and otherwise permanently dis abled-a mere wreck of his form CT self. In acknowledgment of his services, the Cuban govern, ment has just granted Pennie a life pension of S1O0 a month and he will return here to live. Re- ferring to this, the Post says:
 "The senate pension bill to James Pennie, an American who lost one of his legs in the war and was generally disabled, pass ed the house yesterday without debate. The bill grants Pennie d pension of $1,20O per annum, or equal to the salary which he receives from public office today from the Cuban government, having manifested his desire to return to his country. The bill needs only to be sanctioned by the president"

Roosevelt Expedition Did Not Cost the Government a

An erroneous impression has been abroad among imperfectly Informed people that part, at least, of the expense of the ex

Not one cent of government money was expended from start to finish of the journey. The expedition, although for scientific purposes for the benefit of the whole peo- pie, was made at MT. Roosevelt's own expense except for a fund subscribed for the purpose by personal admirers anxious to advance the scientific objects of the trip.

As passed by congress, the ad

It permits a greater charge for a short haul than for a long haul only with the con- sent of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It authorizes the commission to determine the reasonableness of individual or joint rates or classifications, either at it's own initiative or upon complaint, and if it finds such rates unreasonable or dis criminatory to prescribe proper rates. It empowers the commits sion to investigate the pfOprleLy of any new rate, regulation or classification, and pending a hearing, to suspend for ten months such rate, regulation or classification. It places tele- graph and telegraph lines as common carriers under the jur isdiction of the Interstate Com merce Commission, and empow- CTS the commission to determine the reasonableness of their rates and imposes penalties for the grant of franks or passes for the transmission of messages.

Stock Raising in
 the Yuma Valley

The question of the product iveneSS of irrigated lands has long ago been settled in the affirmative No portion of the country where the farmer de- bends on rainfall can compare with that in which he is absolute master of the moisture.
 In all irrigated countries the soil products are rich in nutri- tive values. This seems to be part and parcel of plant and grain growth
 Some sections are more adapt ed to stock fattening than others, perhaps because of an added richness in the food, but the greatest contributing cause is the climatic conditions. All that portion of Arizona adjacent to Yuma and subject to irrigation by the waters of the Colorado river, as diverted by the United States government dam at La guna, is especially adapted for stock fattening, for both the foregoing reasons.
 The silt of the Colorado river carries fertilizing value each year of $3.57 per acre, as deter mined by repeated government analyses. insuring for all time the same nutritious food grown today.
 The most convincing proof that the climate could not be improved upon is in the fact that for year after year cattle have been fattened here for the Los Angeles markets, and the crit ical buyers bear evidence that not only is the beef as good, but that it is made in less time than in any other portion of Arizona. This would be the theoretical conclusion, and it is corroborat- ed by actual trial in the feed lots and pasture fields.
 Another point of advantage to the Yuma irrigated land as a fattening center is it's proximity to the best breeding ground of the world-that is, the border land of Southern Arizona and Northern Sonora, from which cattle can always be had at Kan sas City prices, less the freight.
 These ranges of Arizona are now producing cattle not sur passed anywhere. The largest pedigreed registered Hereford herd in America is located in this borderland. Established in 1882 by Colin Cameron, it has been continuously owned by him until sold in 1903 to Colonel W. i c. Greene. The winners at the Chicago and Kansas City fat stock shows, as well as at Den yer, have been range raised cattle. The phenomenal gains made by the Denver winners on beet pulp and alfalfa will be greatly surpassed when the gov ernment irrigating. works are completed.
 The Cananea Cattle Company offers not only pure bred cattle, but the best class of steers for maturing on the rich feed of the Yuma valley farms.
