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 FEEDER
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. threestory post
Office building, also Of brick, and many other
nice structures. Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made, are a
SS5, 900 school building, a $4,000 ice plant, a
fine club house for the railroad employees a
larger passenger depot, and the probability Of
a new court house to cost S75, 900. 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 be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation II atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send consignments of this Yuma
winter air to the East, the inspiration of its
health giving qualities would bring 25.OOC
tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo
RADIO River
Yuma needs only to make known its climatic
attractions in the parts of the East swept every
wear by. billiards and SnOWStcrmS to attract
city full every winter. The fertility of the val
ley below will almost make itself known with
out effort on the part OF the people. But with g
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
healthfnl and delicious food. and il 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 In 1909
and in ten years from today the attractions Of
Yuma as health resort and the fertility Of
| these bottom lands will be so well known thai
it will require 81, 600 in cash to buy single
acre nj it

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 and other points west of the river
The fertility of the black prairie soils of Hi
nois has as tonished 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 5000 years. Those
who are famiiinr 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 1t is
