Three People Meet
 Death BraveIy

Niagara Falls, N. Y., Feb. 1.-Two men and one woman, believed to be Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Stanton, of Toronto, Canada, and Burrell Pea cock, aged IT, of Cleveland, Ohio, were swept to death in the ice churned wat CTS of the whirl pool below the Niaga- ra Falls yesterday afternoon, when a huge ice jam eighty feet thick and a thousand feet wide suddenly gave way owing to the immense pressure from above.
 Four others who were on the ice saved themselves.
 The victims made desperate efforts to reach a place of safety, but all in vain. The man and boy could easily have escaped, but stayed to assist the woman. AS the river swept the cake of ice on which they were standing to- ward the falls, Stanton clasped his wife in his arms and kissed her. The woman then sank to her knees and made the sign of the cross. The hus- band knelt beside her as the trio dis appeared in the waters.
 No traces of the bodies were found to-day by the watchers.

kaffir Corn Roots

A. w. LaForge in writing to the California Cultivator says:
 I noticed in your paper that a sub scriber was having trouble in getting rid of kaffir corn roots, wanting to plant alfalfa on the same ground. have had these same conditions to contend with, but solved the problem to a 't."
 Take an ordinary sled runner about two feet wide and sled about four feet long; go to your blacksmith and have him take a piece of blow steel ? 1-2 inches wide by 3-16 inch thick by 54 inches long, and draw out the one edge to a cutting edge with the excep- tion of seven inches on each end.
 Then have him turn the ten inches angles with a rounding corner and drill six 3-S inch holes in the ten in. turned up. Drill these holes an inch apart. Then put five 3-S inch bolts in the blade sixteen inches long extend ing backwards; blot this to your sled about two feet or a little less from rear of sled and the knife about three inches below the bottom of the run ners. Pull the sled down row of corn; it cuts off below the ground and the bolts extending backward elevate il to the top of the ground. After they dry take hay rake and rake them cross wise and burn, and the re- mainder of the root left in the ground when plowed will separate like so many straws.

Federal Court May
 Be Made MOveabIe

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 5-It is alto. gether likely that the United States Court for the district of Arizona will be made movable.
 United States Marshal Overlook who lately returned to Tucson from the east, said that when he was in Washington movement to secure such an order from the department of justice was under way. It was pro- posed that terms of the court should be held at Phoenix, Prescott, Tucson and Globe.
 Probably similar arrangement will be made as to New Mexico where conditions as to distances are about the same as in Arizona.
 There is a special reason why ses- sions of court should be held at var ious points in the two new states, where considerable part of the busi- ness of the court will consist of the trials of smugglers and persons charg- ed with the sale of liquor to Indians
 Witnesses and defendants could be to a central point like Phoenix only at great expense and trouble. Of course, it is not expected that any or der will be made until after the ap- pointment of the United States judge.

Seems Willing

No one has as yet definitely deter mined whether Colonel Roosevelt will be a candidate for the presidency, but job or muzzling anyone who wants to support him, is clearly apparent. Dur ing the past two weeks the principal hotel of Washington has housed peo- pie who are campaign boosters pure and simple, with no other excuse for being about except to boost the Col onel. None of these men are au- thorized to speak for Mr. Roosevelt, but that some one is behind them is very clear.

MaIfOrd WinSOr
 Secretary to Hunt

As forecasted several weeks ago in the territorial press, Gover-elect Hunt has appointed Mulford Winsor, of Yu- ma as his private secretary.
 The Globe Silver Belt was the first paper in the territory to announce the appointment of MT. Winsor, and that paper says editorially:
 The appointment of Mulford Winsor to Governor Hunts secretaryship is consistent. AS MT. Hunt says, MT. Winsor is a true progressive. As a member of the constitutional conven- tion he proved, not only his sterling Americanism, but he demonstrated that he has a we'll informed brain.
 Moreover, the dignified and temper ste tenor of his subsequent campaign fer the federal congress impressed ev- eryone with the belief that the Yuma county man is one who will never be guilty of an incorporate thought or ac tiOn. The Silver Belt congratulates MT. Hunt upon his first selection Of the members of his official family.
 The appointment of Mulford Winsor should also end the discussion going around the Arizona press in regard to the office of state historian. With MT. Winsor cared for, there will prob ably be no more talk of busting Miss Sharlot Hall from the office of state historian and turning the post over to Mir. Winsor.

Bridge at Yuma
 Almost Assured
lFrom Yuma Fxamlner)

VI AOAl O1lld
 Saturday Delegate Ralph Cameron introduced a bill in the house provid- ing for a bridge over the Colorado river at Yuma.
 Yesterday and to-day Assessor elect A. B. Ming was making the rounds with a petition to congress asking that inasmuch as the town of Yuma owned property on Prison Hill where there was a natural bridge site, and that inasmuch as the property on the California side of the river was gov ernment property, i. e., the Fort Yu- ma Indian school reservation, that it was proper that the government build the bridge and that the town of Yuma furnish the approach on this side of the river.
 To this petition Mr. Ming has been able to secure over $50 names and the petition will be sent to Washing ton tonight.
 With the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce memoralizing their sena- tors and congressman to fight for this bridge, and with the Los Angeles good road boosters doing the same thing, and with every town in the I'm perial valley and along the route of the Yuma to Los Angeles unit of the nnnoT n nnnoT hiobxxyou o1c finhfinp for the bridge, now is the opportune time for all Yuma to get in and fight for the bridge as never before.
 Many times has the matter of the bridge over the Colorado been taken up in the past, but always then it was Yuma fighting alone, but now we have help from all along the line, and there is no reason why each and every citi- zen of Yuma who has the good of the town at heart, should not do every thing in his or her power to get the government to make an immediate ap- priation for the bridge Do it NOW.
 If you know any congressman or U. S. senator from another state, if you have a friend back east who is connected officially or unofficially with any congressman or senator, make it point to write tonight and do what you can to bring the matter up before them.
 If we are to get the bridge we can not have too much help.
 The bridge across the Colorado at Yuma has been a standing need for years past. The government has built many bridges across rivers in the U. s. where there was not one-tenth the travel there is at Yuma between one side of the river and other.
 The growing town of Bard, the Fort Yuma Indian school and the traffic from the Imperial valley to Yuma all demand that the bridge be built at l once.
 Now is the time for boosters to get in and help, and it is a proposition where there cannot be too many hands in the work. Don't leave it to your neighbor or to some one else, but if | you want to see the bridge over the river, get in and GET BUSY.
