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 around Brawley, Calexico au d other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils Of Mi nois has e'onished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility Of the valleys Of the Nile has been 8 maiter of history for at least coco years. Those vino are famlinr with Illinois prairie soil, ana those who know what the valley of the Nlie is for agriculture khow that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both 0f them
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch Of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes wfii open with astOnishment ai your ignorance. lie will tei you no one knows whether if is 60 feet G0e or C, eco feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disiniegratcd granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as heap Of ashes, and re- spends to cultivation in way that is mar yel0ps.

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 arc produced. Down on the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornlugs 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 busy, up-to-date town. The more modern Improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings. a threestory post office building, also of brick, and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater Improvements which are being made, arc a S35, ,OoO school building a S.5.CO9 ice plant, a fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depot. and the probability of a new court house to cost S75,OOO. There is con siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili ties Of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and De planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation Ii atmosphere were only tranSror.able like mineral waters, and one coult send consignmentS Of this Yuma winter air to the East, the Inspiration of it's health giving qualities would bring 25.C00 tourists every winter to the banks Of the Colo raGo River.
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions iE the parts of the East swept every year by bliZZ rdS and SuOWStormS to attract q city full every winter The fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with ont 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 De one Of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and declici0us food. and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek living elsewhere. it will be because the people do not know how to live properly.
 The Laguna Dam will be completed Tn 1909, and r ten years from today the attractions of Yuma as a health resort and the fertility Of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require Sl,000 in cash to buy single acre Of 1t.

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 10 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 arc December and January.
 Cotton and tobacco grow vi the greatest luXuriarce, and this rich alluvial soil will be noted in q very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country for dairyinc, hog raising, the production of poultry and vegetables, which one 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 kens aId turkeys flourish there in the winter slime beyond all experience anywhere else.
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three CT four times in whole winter Wfth an abundance of green alfalfa and vegc5- able tic dry and not oVerLeaJed climate prevailing in the winter months, chickens are free from tlr disease that maze their raising difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to tlse pro- GuctiO2 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 twcpty-acTe farm will ar'aZe those who have thC experience in American agricultural affairs
 The winter citrate around Yuma is a thing SO intO%icatingly salubrious lhat no worls can describe it. Those deserts Of America, as we have regarded them heretofore, seem to dcfy the Ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The ataos phcre is as dry as punk. the skies cloudessly clear, the air mild as pos ib}e. and every breath seems to be an inspiration Of new life

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges of Arizona and California lowered toward the stars al least twice as high as they do now, rains were very freduent and came down in torrcntial volumes ali along these mountain ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages was a mighty stream, sweeping down debris in tons every second of it's flow. The ColOra- do sink was at that time great inland sea, which spread over the country on both sides or where the river now runs. As the croSion of winds and storms, lanGsides and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year. the great river carried down vast amount of silt, erosion from the rocks full Of phos. phatcs, times and dIsinteTgratcd granites, as well as the vegetation along It's banks; and thls was all deposited ia what are now the sinks of the Colorado.
 As the mountain tops were worn down, the rains became less frequent and less in volume but the erosion Of rocks and river banks, the trees and Vegetable nlopld torn from the banks still came down and settled into the bottom of the great inland lake. This geogcal process went on from age to age to our time, leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream about half mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep ia the deepest portion.
 It is not necessary to remind Califonians that tile Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river the Colorado because of the reddish color of its waters. It is the Colorado up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and down past The Needles. But at this time of the year. after passing the mouth of the Gila, instead of the red river it becomes the brown river. It actually looks today as if ten per cent its flow was silt and only ninety per cent water.

BY GEORGE N. BURTON. In Los Angeles Times.

Ii is very far from Semi-miicnium since l three little open boats under the flag of spain ] first touched tle waters Of the western hemi- ] sphere ard revealed the new world to the i eyes of Europeans. Ii is only little over a lLcntury since the United States of America sprang, so to speak. like Pallas Athene from | tho brain of love. a completely armed ad- Gition to thc family Of nations. It is but i lit;Ic -ver half century since California be- came part ofthese United States of America, and less than generation since the settle ment of the Great south west began.
 In all the l2J years since the Republic was founded, also in the half ceEsury since Cali fOrnia became one of thc States of the Union. and during every year of the last thirty, re- alization fthe vast riches Of the American continent, Of the territory of the United States and of th;s Great Southwest hrs been
 more and more astonishing to the minds Of men. One would suppose that hy today we knew pretty thoroughly what the Undevelop- ed resources of the Great Southwest might reasonably he expected to become. We have not reached the depths of this great ocean of wealth with our plummet line yet.
 In a residence of forty years on tbe Coast the writer thought he .,new a little about what there is on the Coast, and as most of these years have been spent in and around Jos Angeles. he naturally had a little con ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week a trip to the Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma made tiIm feel as a tenderfOot wlO had come in on the last train. New 10 him, this wonderful region and it's possibilities are pretty well known to great many readers Of The Times by the stories published, if not by the demon stration of their own eyes.
 Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles from where tine government is putting in the great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the Giia and Colorado Rivers. Itis twelve miles from Yuma down the river to the Mexican bound-y line on the Arizona side of the river At one point. just below Yuma, the intema- tional boandry line runs up along the river which there takes a westerly trend and from Yuma tC Mexico is only a few miles.

songs.
The friend who hated to pack trunk
