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 abe 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 three-story post
office building, also Of brick, and many other
nice structures. Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made, are
S35, 900 school building, a $4,000 ice plant
fine b-house for the railroad employees
larger passenger depot, and the probability Of
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. 1t should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere
were only transportable 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 $4,000
tourists every winter to 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 billiards. and snowstorms to attract a
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
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 If the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
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 that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy single

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
depCsitidg 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 Illi-
nois has as tonished people engaged in agri-
cul.ure for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been q
matter Of history for at least 6000 years. Those
who are familiar 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.
Ii you ask q 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 it is
80 feet 800 or 5000 feet deep. 1t lis practically
without bottom. 1t is so thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that it never breaks. 1t Is al
easily worked as heap OF ashes, and re-
spends to cultivation In 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 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 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 a very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hog raising,
the production Of poultry and vege' ables 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 april
cots by the middle of the same month. Chic
kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
only three or four times in a whole winter.
With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget-
able the dry and not overheated climate
prevailing in the winter months, chickens are
free from the disease that make their raising
difficult elsewhere There is no spot in South
ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro-
duction CT corn as this valley along the Colora-
90 River With alfalfa and corn, the. butter,
cheese eggs, poultry and pork to be raised on q
twenSy-acre farm will amaze those who have
the experience in American agricultural affairs
The winter climate around Yuma is a thing
so intoxicatingly salubrious That no words can
describe it. Those deserts of America, as we
have REGARDED them heretofore, seem to defV
the ills that human nature elsewhere is so
prone to contract and suffer from. The atnos
phi -e is as dry as punk, the skies cloudleSsly
clear, the air mild as possible, and every
breath seems to be an inspiration Of new life.

The Soil Simply Marvellous in its

And the Climate is IntOxiCatingly
Salubri0uS
BY GEORGE N. BURTON,
In Los Angeles Times.

It is very far from a semi-millenium since
three little open boats under the flag of Spain
q rst touched the waters Of the western hemi-
sphere and revealed the new world to the
eyes Of Europeans. 1t is only little oyer a
century since the United States Of America
sprang, so to speak, like Pallas Athene from
the brain of Jove, a completely armed ad-
dition to the family of nations. 1t is but
little over half a century since California be-
came a part OF these United States Of America,
and less than a generation since the settle
ment of the Great South west began.
In all the l25 years since the Republic was
founded, also in the half cent fury since Cali
fornia became one Of the States of the Union.
and during every year OF the last thirty, a re-
alization ofthe 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 be 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 the Coast
the writer thought he knew a little about
what there is on the Coast, and as most Of
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 tenderfoot who had come in on
the last train. New to him. this wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty well
known to a 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 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 interna-
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.

ONOE A O1hEAMs
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 freduent and came down in
torrcntial volumes all along these mountain
ridges. The Colorado River in 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, landslides and glaciers
wore down the noun tain ridges year by year,
the great river carried down vast amount
of silt, erosion from the rocks full Of phos-
pilates, lines and disintergrated GRANTEES, as
well as the vegetation along It's 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 our time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream about
half mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep in the deepest
portion.
1t is not necessary to remind Californians
that the Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because Of the
reddish color of its waters 1t 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 ella,
instead of the red river it becomes the brown
river. 1t actually looks today as IL ten per
cent of its flow was silt and only ninety per
cent water.
