IS A NEW RULING
By the Supreme Court Making
 Desert Entries Assignable

A decision of the Supreme Court which completely revolu tionizes the status of desert land entries was rendered by that august body Monday when, in the action of the United States vs. William B. Hammers, ap- pealed from the United States Court of the Southern District of California, it was decided that Hammers could be proceeded against for fraud and perjury.
 The case was one in which the defendant was alleged to have given false testimony with re- gard to his improvement of a desert entry in the Imperial val- ley of California. The indict- ment was dismissed on theground that the testimony was immater- ial because 8 desert land entry could not be assigned, and in this case, that the entry con- cerning which Hammers testified has qeen assigned.
 The Supreme Court said that it would accept the interpreta- tion af the Interior Department in many cases before it, to the effect that the entries were as- signable, and directed further proceedings under the indict- ment against Hammers.
 The decision is most impor- tant because of the fact that des- ert land is transferable or as. signable. The practice to this time has been to declare any as- signment of desert land void.
 Under the new condition it will be possible for 8 man to im- prove @ desert tract and carry out part of the agreement with the Government. If, for any reason, he should find himself unable to further fulfill the agreement with the Government he can now assign his claim to some one else, or, in other and plainer words, sell out.
 Hitherto, where 8 man had made entry on desert land, if he were compelled to relinquish it for any reason whatsoever, his claim became null and void, the land being considered unassign- | ahle

 Postmaster R. H. Chandler has received orders to report in Globe on June 5 to learn the in- tricacies connected with the run hing of Uncle Sam's banking system, so that he may be famil- far with the work when the sys- tenn is installed here.
 The attention given our city by the Government in different departments is conclusive proof that Yuma is looked upon as one of the progressive cities of the West.

READY FOR WORK
Compressed Air Outfit for the
 Siphon Work Is Here

The compressed air machinery has arrived from the East and the actual work has been com. menced preparatory for install. ing of this machinery. Profes.

PaIO Verde Lands [ K

Washington, May 29. - The Palo Verde case, a twent-four- year-old dispute between the State of California and more than one hundred claimants and involving approximately 100, ,00O acres of land, near Yuma, Ariz. ,, in the Colorado river valley, Cal. was today decided by the General Land Office in favor of the claimants. The State has thirty days to appeal to the Sec retary of the Interior.
 The issue was whether the lands were swamp lands in 1850 when Congress gave California all the lands within it's bounds classed as swamp lands, on Sep tember 28, 1850. It was decided they were not swamp lands then.

School Board SuStdinS
 PrOfeSSor Williams

Yuma GA. T.), May 28, 1S11.-The board of trustees of District No. l have made full and complete investigation at the request of Professor Williams and upon the complaint of Mrs. A. Frank of the charges of cruel and un- necessary punishment of George Fin ley.
 The board had all the parties before it and heard their statements in detail, and there was absolutely no disagree ment as to the facts of the case.
 The incident was occasioned by the fact that the boy was kept after school to perfect himself in spelling, but the punishment was inflicted for the Of- fense of threatening the principal with d rock in the classroom during class recitation; the stone was as large as the boy could comfortable handle.
 The punishment was inflicted with a piece of empty t-inch 3-ply gas hose. with an outside diameter of i-inch, and not with loaded water hose as charg- cd, and is not considered as unduly se- were.
 The blows left two marks on the boys back with DO abrasion of the skin, DO blood oozing therefrom, and the only evidence as to the severity of the blows was the black and blue marks.
 In view of the evidence, the board can see no occasion for further action.

tamination of insects. In SUD- plying fly paper to those who can not afford to buy it or take other measures to keep the pests from their homes, the city does 8 worthy work toward relieving the discomfort of the persons benefited, and at the same time assists the whole community in providing better sanitation.
 More attention should be given in Yuma to the extermination of the house fly. This pest un- doubtedly causes one-half the deaths among our children. All should join in a general crusade against the fly. Yuma should have @ general cleanup days as @ starter of this crusade.

MORE POST BOXES Are Convenience Much Needed
 in the City of Yuma

There is probably not town or city in the United States the size of Yuma that has not a sys tenn of boxes for depositing of letters, papers and parcels in different parts of the city, Yuma needs number of such boxes for depositing of mail and the commercial interests have it in their power to secure such ac- commodationS. As 1t is now the greater population resides west of the railroad tracks and chil- dren are sent daily with mail to post, and they are compelled to cross the railroad tracks in front of switch engines and passing trains. There is but one place in town provided for depositing of mail, and that is the postofice.
 There should be at least eight boxes placed in convenient places in the city for posting of mail say two iu Main street, one at the old Courthouse corner, one in front of the new Courthouse, and the other four at conven- tent points in the residence sec tion for the deposit of mail and 8 clerk at the postoffice detailed to collect mail at stated periods for the outgoing trains.
 This would undoubtedly be great convenience to the public, and it may be had if proper in terest is manifested in the prop osition by the commercial inter

This was merely seen in the hand of the boy, and when requested by Professor Williams to throw it away he did so.
 The initial punishment was brought about by the boys fail ure to spell word, as stated in last weeks Sentinel. In the face of this evidence the board sus- tained Professor Williams and the matter was dropped.
 The Sentinel would like toknow why Captain Bickal, who first saw the child and made a close examination of the little boy, and who reiterates the state ment that he saw blood oozing from the wounds, and his guard ian, Mrs. Abe Frank, were not not called as witnesses?
 Why was the investigation held in the private office of the Sun, in place of at the school house, where the public would have had an opportunity to be present?
 Why did Judge Westover, president of the board, sign the report when he was not present during the examination and knew nothing of the testimony?
 Why did the board lay stress upon the weapon being gas hose in place of water hose, when it it is known that of the two gas hose is the more brutal?
 Trustee Ingle had never exam ined the child and Redwood, the only member present who had seen the wounds, denied that there was any blood, but admit ted that the child was black and blue.
 Is it a fact that the board of trustees has furnished the teach CTS during the present term with gas hose to use in the punish ment of the children under their care?
 The Sentinel does not wish to persecute a teacher or humiliate the board, but at the same time we desire to protect the little children who are placed in the care of teachers for instruction and proper treatment.

YUMA A-SAN DIEGO
Southern Pacific Building West
 From CalexiCo

Los Angeles, May 31.-The Southern Pacific is building into San Diego from Calexico, thus invading the old stronghold of the Santa Fe and securing for itself another grip on the Pacific Coast business.
 San Diego is the last port of any importance in the whole length of the Pacific Coast which, up to the present time, the Hartman lines have not invaded, so that, with the com pletion of the present piece of construction from Calexico to San Diego, the system will have a terminal in every outlet on the western shore of the United States.
 Word reached this city yester- day to the effect that large gangs of men had been started by the Southern Pacific in the work of grading west of the Southern Pacific terminal at Calexico. It is believed the Spreckels line, which has been building east from San Diego, with the an nounced intention of connecting Yuma with the coast, is being built for the Southern Pacific. The fact that the Southern Pa, ci6c has begun construction west of Calexico leaves no doubt that it is with the intention of con- necting with the Spreckels road.
 The real significance of the of the fact that the Southern Pacific is to have tracks enter ing San Diego from the east can only be understood when it is taken into consideration that the Panama canal will soon be pour ing a large amount Of its busi- ness into San Diego. and that the Southern Pacific will thus be put on equal basis with the San ta Fe in Lower California. Add ed to this is the strong proba- bility that the Southern Pacific will soon build from San Diego along the coast to Newport Beach, a distance of only 100 miles, which forms the connect ing link in the great coast line of the Harrington interests from San Francisco, through Los An geles, to San Diego.
 Representatives of the road yesterday said that they had not been officially informed of what the new construction work west of Calexico is for, but it is ad- mitted that it means a new road into San Diego.
