mysterious visit to st. Louis and the
southern part of Illinois.
These witnesses will appear before the
grand jury on Saturday and tell some i'm
portant things about the election of Mr..
Lorimer.'' continued Mr.. Wayman. Ell am
not at liberty to give their names, but L
will say they are members Of the State
Legislature whose names have not been
mentioned thus far in the investigation
Their identity will be a complete surprise.
II brought no one back with me. I left

fund" The three legislators, all Of whom
are Democrats, said they were present in
answer to kilograms from the States At
torney.
Tippet and Sheppard voted for Lorimer,
but Isley held out for the Democratic can
didate, Stringer. Sheppard was one Of
those alleged by White to have been at the
Southern Hotel, St Louis, when the Jack
pot" composed of miscellaneous brides,
was distributed
To reporters, Mr.. Isley said that he would
testify as to common gossip at Springfield
that Democratic votes were being sought
with money in behalf of the Loriner cam
didacy.

mon County, of which Springfield is the
seat, intends to push an independent IN

sion like this in the party continues 1t
is bound to become irreparable. If 1t
existed only in Congress 1t might DC
patched together, but when it is in every
state and in every district no amity can
come of IT.
Representative Needham, Of California
said: Insurgency, in its national as
pect, is rapidly becoming anti-Taft and
nti-protection- When this fact becomes
generally known there will be change
in the sentiment of the country regard
ing 1T
Meanwhile. the Democrats tn both
houses are chuckling. They say that
whichever loses. we win" Or, as Sen
ator Bailey said the other day on the
floor The only policy we have in this
affair is TO keep both OF you fellows ir-
rftated.'
sIar,. Cannon and Aldrioh.
Practically all the insurgents in the
House were disposed 10 attribute the
trouble in the party TO the alleged intoi-
erance OF such leaders as Speaker Can
non and Senator Aldrich. Potndexter, Of
Washington, and Hayes Of California
declared that the party could get to-
sether II Cannon and Aldrich were elm
inated Victor Murdoch. Of Kansas,
said:
II think that Aldrich and Cannon are
not in line with either the party or the
people; but We are going to work out
these great legislative problems within
the party
Speaker Cannon talked Of the situation
with Characteristic vigor. He repeated
his statement that there was no longer
working Republican majority in
either house.
TT would soon get tiresore," he said,
IF 1 kept repeating my opinions about
Insurgency (the disgust with which he
pronounced this word Is indescrihable),
and 1 can only refer you TO what I
have said on that subject in my recent
speeches I guess everybody knows
where stand on that proposition"

 The United States has an experiment farm on the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
 ults even more marvellous than in the valley are produced. Down on the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder- al experiment. station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality
 Yuma is a busy, up-to-date town. The more modern Improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings. three-story post office building, also Of brick, and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, are a s35, ,0OO school building, d S75.COO ice plant, 8 fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depot, and the probability of a new court house to cost S75, ,0G0. There is con business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast poSsibii ties of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-date tourist hotel.st It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportaole like mineral waters, and one could send consignmentS of this Yuma winter air to the East. the inspiration of it's health giving qualities would bring 25000 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River
 Yuma needs only to make known i;s climatic in the parts of the East swept every year by biizZ rdS and SuoWStcrTnS to attract city full every winter. he fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part Of the people. But with valley full of intelligent and industrious rural population, producing fruits and vegetables, poultry. eggs. fresh milk and fragrant butter, Yuma should be one of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healuhfnl and declicioUS food and 1T the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek living elsewhere it will be because the people 10 not know how to live properly.
 The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909, md ir ten years from today the attractions of Yuma as health resort and the fertility of ,hese bottom lands will be so well known that t will require Sl,OG0 in cash to buy single lcre of 1t.

RICHES OF SOIL 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 depositidg 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 arOupd Brawley, CaleXico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illi- nOis has a. 'oBished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been 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 both of them.
 If you ask 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, 6O0 or G00O feet deep. 1t is practically without bottom. IL 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 to 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- perimental 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 very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying, hog raising the production of poultry and vegetables, which enc hesitates to call early or late, as they will be perennial New potatoes will be produced in the middle of January, tomatoes will be ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be gathered in the early days of May, and apri cots by the middle Of the same month. Chic !1ens and turkeys flourish there in the winter time beyond all experience anywhere else
 The rainfall is exceedingly ] ght and comes enly three or four times in q whole winter With aa 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 eTn Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- duction 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 farm will amaze those who have the experience in American agricultural affairs
 Ire winter climate around Yuma is a thing so intOXicGtinely salubrious That no words can describe it. Those deserts of America, as we have regarded them heretofore, seem to defy the Ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from The atmos phere k as dry as punk, the skies cloadlessy clear, the air mild as possible and every breath seems to be an inspiration of new life
