SOMETHING MISSING.

Many have remarked about the I'm
usual quietness of Parker the past
week or ten days. Everyone appears
to feel that there is something miss
ing, yet the avkrage person has been
at loss to assign a legitimate rea-
son for the apparent void that has
come over the burg. Even the young
sters are going around with dull,
gloomy countenances, taking little
or no interest i'm their play The old
time vim and go of the Parker kids
have disappeared, and in it's place
has settled a listless interest in life
as it at present exists in this great
metropolis of the mighty Colorado.
Yesterday couple of Parker's
young hopefuls were enticed into our
sanctum and questioned about the
recent visit of the glooms and asked
why was this thus. They promptly
explained that the only joy of the
town had gone away to play havoc
with old Mount Whipple Then a
great light burst upon the snake ed
itor as he remembered that the ire
pressible Paul Turk is visiting his
fathers mine in the Whipple noun
tains. Paul is the liVelieSt joy that
ever made the desert echo with his
unearthly yells, and his present alb
sence from the community has result
ed in making the town appear aw-
fully dead and slow.

in THE FIELD
LAYING OUT ROUTE FOR PAR
KER RAILROAD.
Paul Peirce in Washington Look
ing After Legislation For
Right Of Way.

The preliminary survey for the
Parker & Colorado River Railroad
company was begun Monday, and ac-
cording to all reports the promoters
of the enterprise mean business and
expect to prosecute their work to
completion just as quickly as pos
sible.
A company was organized recent
ly for the construction of the road
which is to run from Parker to
Ehrenburg, through the Colorado Riv-
er Indian reservation, a distance OF
approximately 40 miles. Paul Peiroe
who is at the head of the enterprise,
is now in Washington attending to
the matter of having a bill introduc-
ed in congress for a right of way
through the reservation.
J. F. Hess, a we'll known civil en-
gineer of Phoenix, arrived last Sat-
urday with a corps of surveyors and
engineers. He has located a camp
about a mile and half from town,
but as the work progresses the
camp will be moved further down
the valley. The work of the prelim-
mary survey will take from fifteen
to twenty days.
According to the laws of Arizona
under which the railroad company
has been incorporated it must com
plete 10 per cent of the road with
in one year, hence it will be neces-
sary for the company to proceed dill
gently with the work if it expects
to hold it's charter.
1t is hoped to secure the necec:-
sary right OF way from congress be
fore the present session adjolrnS,
and if successful in this respect it
is claimed by those who are interest
ed in the project that active CON
struction work will begin early next
fall.
The building of this line will prove
a great benefit ito Parker, as i,
will hasten the development of the
valley lands much quicker than an.
other means, after they become avail
able to settlement, which will prob
ably be early next year.
Another great source of revenue
that the promoters of the company
are relying ON is the trade i'm the
Palo Verde valley. AS the line will
extend to Ehrenburg the people OF
Blythe and the Palo Verde valley
will be enabled to have their ship
ments come via Parker as well as
shipping their products in the same
manner.
A good ferry could be constructed
at Ehrenburg and the haul from the
ferry landing to any part of the
Plythe country would not he very
long, matter of a few miles. Later
it is understood, the company con

burg and running it's line into Blythe

BRENNAN BILL
in THE SENATE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS ITS
PASSAGE.
Parker Representative Wires That
Its Final Passage Is Assured
Within a Few Days.

The public lands committee OF the
state senate Tuesday might reported
the brennan house bill with the
recommendation that it do pass.
This is the measure which provides
for the acceptance by the state of
Arizona of the provisions of the
Carey act, under which the reserva-
ton lands at Parker are expected
to be opened Within the next few
months.
In a telegram from Representative
brennan Wednesday it is stated tha
the favorable report of the bill prac-
tically assures it's passage through
the upper branch of the legislature.
The bill was placed on the calendar
for early action, and it is quite prob
able that by the time this issue
reaches our readers the Carey bill
will have passed the senate.
Mr.. brennan has been compelled
to meet with considerable opposition
to the bill, but as the source of this
opposition had no substantial fOun-
dation in fact the enemies of the
bill were completely routed. How
ever, great credit is due Mr.. Dren-
half of the BILL and it is doubtful
whether this bill would have pass
ed if Parker had not elected a rep.
resentative from this end of Yuma
county capable of putting it through.
After the final passage of the
brennan bill it is expected that the
Greeley-AriZona Irrigation company
will Immediately get busy with ita
plans for the installation of the ir-
rigation works for the Parker pre-.
ject. 1t lis authoritatively stated tha
the reclamation service and the dc
partment of the interior are willing
to allow a private corporation tC
install the works on this project, pro-
vided said corporation is capable O..
showing sufficient financial back
ing to diligently proceed with the
work and complete the same within
a reasonable length of time.
This, it is claimed, the Greeley
company is thoroughly capable of do
ing, and after congress has passed
the bill now before that body provid-
ing for the segregation of the lands
so that they may he applicable to
reclamation under the Carey act, the
work will proceed with all possible
haste.
The dawn of a new era for Par.
ker's prosperity is appearing on thc
horizon, and before many months
have rolled around the patient wal
ing of it's pioneers, and the hope;
of thousands who will seek new
homes here, will be rewarded when
the thousands of acres of rich valley
lands become available to entry and
settlement.
