The United States has an experiment farm on the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma Here
 ults even more marvellous than ih the valley are produced. Down on the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornlugs occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder- 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, 0C0 school building, S75.C00 ice plant, 8 fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passenger depot. and the probability Of a new court house to cost S75000. 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 If atmosphere were only transportable like mineral waters, and enc could send conSignmentS of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration of it's health giving qualities would bring 25.C00 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by bliZZ3rdS and SnowStorniS to attract d city fCil every winter. The fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part Of tine 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 decliciouS 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 ir 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 Sl coo in cash to buy a single acre Of 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 depositdg 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 Braw'ey, CaleXico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illi- nois has a. 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 fer agriculture. know that this lower Colorado River region surpaSSes botb ofthem.
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch iof country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishment ai your ignorance. He will tell you one knows whether it is 60 feet, G0o or 6U00 feet deep. It is practically without bottom. 1t is so thoroughly well mixed with sand disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re- spends to cultivation in a way that is mar velouS.

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 a 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 vegetables, which one hesitatcs 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 apri- 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 overloaded 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 corn as this valley along the Cobra do River. With alfalfa and corn. the butter, cheese, eggs, poultry and pork to be raised on a t"enty-a farm will amaze those who have the eGperie cc in American agricultural affairs The winter climate around Yuma is a thing so intoxicatngly salubrious lhat 10 words can describe it. Those deserts of America, as we have regarded them heretofore. seem to oefy the Ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The atmos phere 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.

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 freduPnt and came down in torrcntial volumes all along these mountain ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages was a mighty stream sweeping down debris in tons every second Of its flow. The Cobra 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, iandslides and glaciers wore down the mountain ridges year by year, tue great river carried down vast amount of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos- pilates, times and dlSintergrated granites, 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 stream about half a mile wide and being at the present time about twenty feet deep ia the deepest portion.
 It is not necessary to remind Californians that the Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river the Colorado because of the reddish color of it's 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 Gila, 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.

POSSIBLE TIES OF YUMA
 RE6IsH UNEMPLOYED The Soil Simply Marvellous in its
 PT0daGiiVeEeSS And the Climate is Int0xiCating!y
 SalabFi5aS
BY GEORGE N. BU RTON. In Los Angeles Times.

If is very far from a semi-mllenium since three little open boats under the flag of Spain f rst touched the waters of the western hemi- sphere and revealed the new world to the eyes Of EuTOpeans. IL is only a little over a century since the United States of America sprang, so to speak, like Pallas Athene from the brain of love, a completely armed ad- dition to the family Of nations 1t is but little -ver half a century since California be- came part of these United States Of America, and less than a generation since the settle inent or the Great Southwest began.
 In ail the I25 years since the Republic YVES founded, also m the half century since Cali foTnia became one of ;he states Of the Union [. and during every year of the last thirty, a re- aiization ofthe vast riches CT 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 q little con- ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week a trip to the Colorado River bottoms. below Yuma made hina feel as a 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 Gila and Colorado Rivers. It is twelve miles from Yuma down the river to the Mexican bound-y line on the Arizona side of the river Al 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 a few miles.
