tinction Of possessing the hCt.

When the rest Of the republic has been
gripped by winter, thermometers in
Yuma register 100 degrees. Just how
high they 60 in the summer nc man

That Yuma Is inhabited by human
salamanders goes without saying.
Only people who like such heat would
come there from choice. and would
try to get away after they do get

Interesting are the Indians. Here.

Uncle Sam allows polygamy. and the
Yuma buck Is permitted to maintain
as many wives as he can induce to live
with him in the wigwam. The pris.
on at Yuma is different from any pris-

counterpart Of the village jail, which
is a sort of stepping stone to the pris-
