Cincinnati, O., March 0. -- White
firemen of the Cincinnati New Or
leans and Texas Pacific railroad
(Queen and Crescent Route struck
tonight in response to an order from
a committee OF Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen. The
action was taken by the union after
a long conference with r. G. Powell,
vice-president Of the railroad, Rad
failed to result In an agreement.
While the union officials were busy
sending out the strike orders, Mr..
Powell dictated telegram to WASH
ington In which he asked mediation
of the Federal authorities under the
Erdman act.
The union officials upon being In
formed of this, said they would not
Join In request for mediation, as
serting that their experience had led
them 10 believe that the men would
lose rather than gain by such
course.
The strike is due to a dispute as to
the status Of negro firemen. The
union claims that the working agree
ment with the road Is such that the
negros are ineligible to any work ex-
eept on local and slow freight trains
and on yard engines. The railroad
disputes this and asserts that their
negro employees are entitled to pro-
motion on the same terms MS the
white men.
An trains leaving Cincinnati to-
night are fully manned and there
were few Indications that a strike OF
firemen was in progress.

Judge Donworth said that the govern
ment must prove that lIillman con-

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-todate 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
$35, 900 school building, a $4,000 ice plant, a
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a
larger passenger depot and the probability Of
q 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-t o-date tourist hotel. 1t 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 it's
health-giving qualities would bring 25GOO
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
year by billiards. and snowStormS 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 a
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 q
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

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 very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying hog raising,
the production of poultry and vegef sbles, 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
tire 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 of &C n as this valley along the Colora
do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter
cheese, eggs, poultry and pork to be raised on a
twenty acre farm will amaze those who have
the experience in American agricultural affairs
The winter climate around Yuma is thing
so intoxicatingly salubrious That no words can
describe it. Those deserts of America, as we
have regarded them heretofore, seem to oefy
the Ills that human nature elsewhere is sc
prone to contract and suffer from. The 8tmos
phere is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlessly
clear, the air mild as possible, and every
J breath seems TO be an inspiration of new life

1t is very far from a semi-millenium since
three little open boats under the flag of Spain
fl rst touched the waters of the western hemi-
sphere and revealed the new world to the
eyes OF Europeans. 1t is only little over q
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 -ver half century since California be-
came 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 cell 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 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 the Coast
the writer thought he knew little about
what there is on the Coast, and rs 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 we'll
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 a westerly trend and from
Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

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 ILL.,
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 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
II 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
10 feet, 900 or 5000 feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. 1t is SO thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that 1t never breaks. It is al

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 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 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 dlsintergrated 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 our time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma stream sbout
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 if ten per
cent of its flow was silt and only ninety per
cent water,
