Editor of the Yuma Examiner:
 The prevalence in Los Angeles of that dread and little understood nal ady, Infanti'e Paralysis, is a just cause of alarm tC the people of Yuma on ac- count of the constant communication between that city and Yuma; there fore a word of information and of caution at this time may not be inop- perfume.
 The history of the disease dates back only to the year 1852. The first epidemic occurred in Norway and Swe- den in 1905. Since then the disease has slowly spread throughout the world. The first epidemic in the United States was in New York in 1907 when 2500 deaths were recorded. It, reached the middle west in epidemic form in 1908 and in 1909, increasing in 1910 when 10000 deaths occurred. The epidemic period is understood to be the latter part of the summer.
 The disease is more prevalent in small towns than in larger ones, and is conceded by the best authorities to be both infectious and contagious. For this reason, extreme caution should be used by those of our people returning from California at this time to keep their children at home for at least three weeks, and not to allow the visits of their neighbors' children.
 It might be well for the people to know the usual symptoms of the dis ease, and to be advised as to methods of prevention. The onset of the dis ease is sudden and more or less acute. The first symptoms are pains in the stomach and abdomen similar to those in acute indigestion, followed by high fever, or chill and fever, sometimes nausea and vomiting and diarrhoea. The patient usually complains of head ache, backache, and aching and itch ing of the legs and arms.

PRESCOTT POKER STORY
 IN NEW YORK SUN

The "New York Sun," of July 18th contains an article entitled, "The Lost Chord-At Poker" which was sent by Nate Reed of Prescott, whose brother Jay, is one of the most brilliant authors of bridge and other card problems in the United States.
 Tt appears that a resident of Pres colt was amusing himself by deal 1 ing out twenty-five cards and forming five pat poker hands with them. Some how the lots he dealt off were easy, but after arranging one set of five hands he was astonished to Ob- serve that as they lay on the table they were not only pat from right to left in the usual way, but also formed five pat hands if they were read up and down, and what was still more surprising was that the two diagonals were also pat hands.
 "He was so delighted at the dis covery that he immediately picked up the tmenty-five cards, put them in his pocket and rushed off to the club to show them to some of the crack poker players in Prescott, but to his chagrin he could not discover the original ar rangement to save his neck and his friends are having fun with him about telling him he just dreamed it.

We guess Arizona's soil is some rich give a faint perception of it's fairly goodness: "The richest soil on which the sun ever shown, a soil so fertil that the widest hyperbole becomes impotent and prosaic in attempting to describe it." There is absolutely no reason to doubt if the soil had been richer than that he would have men toned it.

DEcALoeUE IN POLITICS.

The Pittsburg Times-Gazett as
 serts that the Ten Commandments
 and "other moral propositions" ad
 vocated by Colonel Roosevelt are ad
 vocated by everybody and therefore
 constitute no rational basis for a new party organization.
 There is an immense amount oi
 professed ignorance of the real spirit
 and motive of the Progressive move
 ment on the part of the reactionary
 press and the old-time professional pol. iticians.
 l It is one thing to endorse the Ten Commandments as a seventh day di-
 version from politics and business. It is quite another thing to insist that the common moralities of life be ap- piled in politics and in business seven days in the week, and that on every one of the seven days in the week the rights of the people shall be res Ipected and the laborer, man or woman shall be protected from political and command of the decalogue, Thou shalt not steal"It is more than a moral admonition to be inculcated in the rising generation at the mothers knee or in Sunday school. It has to do with just and honest government.
 When two representatives of repu- diated political infamy, vouched for by Patrick Calhoun, who himself bare ly escaped a penitentiary term as an alleged corruptionist, were given places in the republican national con- vention rightfully held by men who had been selected by the people of Cal ifornia by a clear majority of over 77,000 votes, thieves planned and ex- ecuted the crime, says the Los Ange- les Express. When President Taft silently gave his assent to it, the two vote that infamous crime against the electorate of state gave him was the consideration for his silence.
 When the republican party and it's fraudulent selected candidate ask the people to entrust the administration of their government to the beneficial ries of fraud upon the people, what wonder that honest men, lifelong re- pull licans, hasten by thousands to de sert the party as men would a ship b'ighted by pestilence? Moral pes tilcnce in the republican party and corrupt and revolutionary methods of the will of the people in it's party councils have made it the official instrument of men who have been for years and are now enrich ing themselves by plundering and de frauding the people.
 William Howard Taft, originally | elected as a Progressive, has after a weak and flabby course in office, defi- nitely come to a state of complete re- pose in the camp of the phndering : he was originally commis- stoned to combat

NATURAL BRIDGE
 IF ARIZONA

Arizona's Natural Bridge is in Ton
 to Basin beyond the Mogollon. You
 reach it from Phoenix by way ot
 Roosevelt dam. The trip out of Flag
 staff took us three days and proved
 very interesting. You pass St. Marys
 and Mormon lakes during the first part of the trip. In season there is
 good fishing at St. Mary and you find there one of the ice caves. Ducks are common at Mormon lake and there
 being plenty of good water at the
 Rangers station it is a desirable camp ing place.
 The remainder of the trip is through the pine forest. Just pine, pine until you forget that Arizona is called desert and I think of it only as forest.
 You come out at last on the top of Strawberry Hill and can see the little settlement of Pine below you. Per- haps Strawberry Hill took it's name from it's red sand stone out of which road has been blasted but you will have anything but sugar and cream expression on your face during the descent for it is some" hill.
 The bridge is across Pine creek in the canyon four miles, by wagon road, below the village. The bridge, spring and farm are owned by a Scotch family from whom you can usually buy farm produce and horse feed They charge one dollar toll at the wish one. The camping place is fine and we spent five delightful days The farm and orchard are surprise being better kept and better watered than any other in this section. The bridge is unnatural in that instead of | forming part of a road it's entire | surface was producing alfalfa. The ! stream being fed by springs is per fectly clear and the boulder-strewn stream-bed presents a greater variety | of pools overhung by trees and vines by moss and cress.
 Beneath the bridge you have the sensation of being in a great cave and the constant drop, drop of water rom the roof resembles a warm sum- ner rain. If you have not courage enough to ascend the long ladders and explore the caves in the wall Inder the bridge do not forget there Ire several small but interesting ones n the canyon wall short distance ID stream, and if you have an old lat put it on the rock with the stone ncrusted collection.
 If you wish you can go Blue-rock ,idgeon hunting. This is such a rare ind that few have ever seen it. They re very large and quite good eating. hey feed on mansonetta berries and mall acorns. You find them in the rees on the sides of the canyon and hooting them is difficult as the walls re rocky and steep.

HE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM
 It is reported from Tacoma that the State Bar Association of the state Of Washington, by three to one vote, commend the record of Judge c. H. Hanford of the federal bench, who re- gently reiigned his office under seri- ous charges reflecting upon his pel sonal honor and official record as a Judge.
 So much the worse for the ideals of the Washington State Bar Associa- ltion. This resolution of endorsement comes in the face of the fact that the president refused to permit Judge Han ford to voluntarily resign until the grounds of impeachment had been fur ther examined.
 The presidents friend Ballingerg iof interior department notoriety, and other local politicians of shrunken reputation and questionable fame are attempting to get Judge Hanford out of this scrape with sufficient rep utation to enable him to successfully
 enter the ranks of the profe ss'n for the practice of law in Seattle. This should not be difficult of accomplish ment, judging from the Seattle stan- dard of professional ethics as disclosed by the resolution of endorsement Ey the Bar Association.
