The United States has 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 FEEDER
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
$4,000 school building, $4,000 ice plant,
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees,
larger passenger depot, and the probability of
a new court house to cost $75oG0. There is con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast POSSIBLE
ties Of the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. 1t should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with ali
kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere
were only tranSportabe like mineral waters
and one could senG consignments of this Yuma
winter air to the East. the inspiration of it's
health giving qualities would bring $500
tourists every winter 30 the banks of the Colo
RADIO River.
Yuma needs only to make known It's climatic
attractions in the parts of the East swept every
year by blizzard and SnOwStornls TO attract u
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 rura!
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
healthfnl and delicious 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 LagGna Dam will be completed IN 1909,
and III ten years from today the attractions of
Yuma as health resort and the fertility of
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy a single
acre Of It.

BY GEORGE y. BU RT0N.
In Los Angeles Times.

II is very far from a semi-millenium since
three little open boats under the flag of Spain
first touched the waters Of the western hemi-
sphere and revealed the new world to the
eyes OF Europeans. il is only little over
century since the United States of america
sprang, so to speak, like Pallas Athene from
the brain of Jove, completely armed ad-
diton to the family Of nations. II is but
little -ver half a century since California be-
came part of these United States Of America,
and less than generation since the settle
ment OF the Great South west began.
In all the lbs years since the Republic was
founded, also in the half century since Cali
fDrnia became one of the States Of the Union.
and during every year of the last thirty, n re-
aliZatiCn of the vast riches Of the American
continent, of the territory of the United
states and of this Great Southwest has been
more and more astonishing TO the minds of
men. One would suppose that by today we
knew pretty thoroughly what the undevelop-
ed resources of the Great Southwest might
reasonably I've expected to become. We have
not reached the depths of this great ocean of
wealth with our pummet line yet.
In a residence of forty years on the Coast
the writer thought he knew a little about
these years have been spent in and around
Los Angeles, he naturally had little con-
ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with
the Great Southwest. Last week trip to the
Colorado RIVER bottoms. below Yuma made
HIM feel as IL tenderfoOt who had come in on
the last train. New to him, this wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty wei
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 wher the government is putting in the
great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the
ella and Colorado Rivers. 1t is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river to the Mexican
boundry line on the Arizona side of the river
AT one point, Just below Yuma. the nterna-
tional boundry line runs up along the river
which there takes westerly trend and from
Yuma to Mexico is only a few miles.

ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges Of
Arizona and California lowered toward the
stars, at least twice as high as they do now,
rains were very frcduert and came down in
torrcntial volumes all along these mountain
ridges. The Colorado River i'll these past ages
was mighty stream, sweeping down debris
in tons every second of its flow The Colora-
do sink was at that time great inland sea,
which spread over the country on both sides
OF where the river now runs. AS the erosion
of winds and storms, landsides and glaciers
wore down the mountain ridges year by year,
the great river carried down a vast amount
of silt, erosion from the rocks full Of phos
pilates, lines and dIsintergrated GRANTEES, as
well as the vegetation along its banks; and
this was all deposited in 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 mould torn from the
banks still came down and settled into the
bottom OF the great inland lake. This geogical
process went on from age to age to orr time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma stream bout
half mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep il the deepest
portion.
IL is net necessary to remind CalfornianS
that fhe Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because of the
reddish color OF lis waters. 1t is the Colorado
up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and
down past The Needles. Bat at This time OF
the year, after passing the mouth OF the CHA,
instead Of the red river it becomes the brown
river. IT actually looks today as if ten per
cent OF its flow was silt and only ninety per
cent water.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten-
ton once more and for perhaps The thou
sand tn 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 and other points west of the river
The fertility of The black prairie soils of Hi
nOiS has >Onished people engaged in agri-
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been a
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 establishment al your ignorance.
He will tell you no one knows whether il is
80 feet, 6Oe or GCOO feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. 1t is thoroughly we'll
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that it never breaks. 1t is rs
easily worked as a heap of ashes. and re-
spends to cultivation in a way that is mar
Vicious.

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart OF this big valley, which
is some twcnty-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 Ou this cx-
perimental farm, ana for seven consecutive
months they will cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop Is not cut here are
December and January.
Cotton ana tobacco grow with the greatest
luXuriance. and this rich alluvial soil will be
noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hog raising,
the production of poultry and vege; a5les, which

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 il the early days of May and april

lIens and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
