Items Of Interest for the Wsmen Folk

Might not we take lesson from this and
by a few simple exercises keep our good
figures in spite of our years?
The following exercise taken each morning
for few minutes before dressing will help
materially toward this ideal;
sit on the floor with legs crossed tailor
fashion and initiate a rowing motion with
the arms.
Another exercise which might be taken
alternately with this is: @s
Strech out arms horizontally with Shout
ders and slowly sway the body from side
to side until first the right hand and then
the left touches the thigh.
Crepe de chine. lavishly embroideI ed with

Venice lace is used upon many Of the
handsomest jabots and neck frills in place

Cotton Land Company.

The Cotton Land company is work ing about one hundred and eighty teams on the big dike in the Mohave valley and have already protected more than six thousand acres of rich land from the encroachment of the Colorado river. It is understood that the government will take up the mat ter of .diking the river with the land company and that the work will be carried on under the auspices of the government, which seeks to protect the lands recently apportioned to the Mohave Indians. It is understood that the government will withdraw all the lands in the valley from entry and may place the Wallapais and Supais on these lands within the next year. The tribes are on friendly terms and 1t is probable that they will live amicably. The Cotton Land company has con tracted for all the lands of the Santa Ee railroad grant and will cultivate large sections. throughout the valley, selling acreage tracts to those willing to go in there and cultivate the soil. Water rights and protection from the river will be accorded all purchasers of land from the company. There are about 250,000 acres of land between Fort Mohave and Topock that are for the raising of alfalfa, cot ton, all kinds of fruits, including pine apples and dates.

Mohave Indians Get Rich Lands.

During the past several months a
 special agent of the Interior Depart
 ment has been at Fort Mohave arrang-
 ing details of the distribution of lands
 in the Mohave valley to the Mohave
 Indians living along the Colorado
 river above the Needles. The distri-
 button was made on a per capita basis,
 each Indian man, woman or child re- ceiving fifteen acres of land. Twelve
 thousand acres were set off to the h. dians and each family will have to manage and improve their property
 without tribal interference.
 The lands are among the richest in the territory and when protected from the overflow of the Colorado river will be one of the most productive areas of the United States. Some of these lands are already dyked and are worth from eos to l00S per acre. The valley is the home of these Indians and it is probable that they will be taught the white method of farming and settle down to the life of agriculturists. They have never been nomadic, like the Wallapais and other Indians, but have made their home on the river for hun dreds of years. They are workers and are easily controlled. With govern ment aid, which is just now a necessi- ty, these Indians will become the richest tribe in the territory within the next ten years. Being close to market and raising a varied product the lands will produce to such an ex- tent that contract shipments can be sent to the markets throughout the north part of the territory, where ex- gooe prices for early fruits, etc., will be obtained. The amount of produce that can be raised on each acre in this fertile valley is but it will certainly en- rich the Mohave Indians and make of them the most powerful tribe in this part of the territory.
 It is understood that the government will dike the river and protect the lands for the Indians from the en- croachDent of that great stream.

That the railroad people are looking
 this way for an outlet to southern
 California from the north is evidenced
 in the proposed branch line from the
 Gould system that is reported to be
 headed from a Utah point via Kingman
 to Los Angeles and San Diego. Two
 railroads are now looking to this
 county as an advantageous route from
 the north to the south, the Iron
 Mountain, St. George and Grand Can
 yon railroad having already filed its
 articles of incorporation with the secretary of Arizona and with the secretary of Utah. The company is said to have in view the building of the road from the Salt Lake, at a station called ThermO, in Iron county, Utah, through Washington county, Clark county, Nevada, and Mohave county. Arizona, uniting with the Santa Fe at Kingman. The building of either of the railroads would give this county one of the best outlets that we could have and at the same time put us in touch with the markets of our sister state, where cheap farm produce could be obtained readily.
 c. J. Lantry, principal owner of the Stockton Hill Mining company, has Just been awarded the contract to build the POO miles of railroad line to Port Lobos, on the Gulf of Mexico. The contract price is said to be 5.OOO,- 000S, and the railroad is financed for operation. Mir. Lantry and a number of the directors of the new company passed over the proposed line of the road last week and were satis- fled with the prospects of the early of work.
 Large tracts of Wallapai valley lands have been taken up by E. B. Van Deman and associates, and the is to drill number of wells for the purpose of furnishing water for irrigation and domestic purposes. Charles Metcalfe and Dan. s. Richards have also taken up 320 acre tracts in the best section of the valley and will make an effort to prove up on it under the Carey land act. All the lands are rich and only needs to be irrigated and planted to make them highly produc- tive.
 Everybody is noting the return of prosperity to Kingman by the many men that are seen every day on the streets of the town. Not in the past five years have so many men been seen on the streets under the influence of liquor as within the past two weeks. None of them are of the fighting variety, but all seem to be out for a good time and appear to be having it.
 J. R. Livingston, of Chloride, was Kingman visitor the first of the week. Mir. Livingston believes that Chloride will become one of the most important sections of the mining world before many months, on account of the large amount of new work starting up that district.

The COlOrOdo river at Fort MOhave is within foot of the high water mark reached by the river last year. It is thought that the river this year will present a record flood. The great storms in the north have filled the river with heavy debris and it is quite probable that the spread of the water will be far reaching when the crest of the food reaches the Mohave valley. Frank NJ. Barnes, who recently made the trip through the canyon from above the mouth of the Virgin river, reports that the river below the Vir- gin is filled with debris and that an almost new channel has been cut in places near the head of Black Canyon Although the river was comparatively low there were great sand waves throughout the canyon, which do not usually occur unless the river is at flood stage. If the government would confine the river to its bed by dikes through the Mohave valley it would not be long until the stream secured out a deeper channel and prevent the yearly overflow throughout the valley. Last year the river cut away about eleven hundred feet of land on the Needles side and if nothing is done to stop it the destruction of the lands will continue this year with possibly disastrous results to the people living on the low lands to the north of the Santa Fe railroad tracks.
 Baby boys are popular in Kingman this week. Monday one was born to the wife of Sumner Beecher. last night one was born to the wife of I. J. Whit ney, and this morning one was born to the wife of Robert Manship. The mothers are all getting along nicely and the fathers, well they are so puffed up that the town will hardly hold them from this time forward.
 G. R. Gooding, the genial agent of bIC oduAd . dS AAL < lldLs Has ldhGu sixty day lay off and will probably visit relatives in the east. He has not been in the best of health the past year and believes that relief will be gained by visit to the old home, where he can rest up a short time. R. M. Harris. of Needles, is agent at the station during Mir. Gooding's absence.
 Peter Catfery, John Jamison and John McDerwin, who have been spend- ing some time in San Diego, returned to Kingman a few days ago, much i'm proved in health by their trip.
