r. H. NEWELL SPOKE
 AT HELLER LAST NIGHT

Frederick H. Newell, director of the United States Reclamation Service, who has been visiting here for several days as the guest of Project Engineer Sellew, addressed a fair-sized crowd at the Teller theatre last night.
 He made no promise of what the Reclamation service would do and, as on former occasions. he held out hope only for the rancher who has abundant means to do what he will, never talk ing into account that there are ranch CTS in the Yuma valley who were we'll to-do seven years ago, but who mort gagged their lands to the government and, with families to support, have had a desperate struggle, and now must look to our government, which, accord ing to MT Newell, must be shown. , In other words, the government asks the farmers to improve their lands and demonstrate that the great Yuma project is a success even before the government fulfills it's contract with the people.
 The Examiner feels grateful to the Reclamation Service for it's great work here and would like to see the work hastened and this great project con- pleted according to contract with the people-but for an encouraging word, pointing to such happy continuation, the audience last night listened in vain.
 The concesus of opinion today seems to be that MT. Newell, as dispenser of good cheer, is not a success.
 The Yuma project is said to be 70 per cent completed, and when the other 30 per cent. is finished the peO- pie on the lands must begin their an nual payments, which all resident and nonresident farmers welcome. But the long delay in the completion oi this great work, which was the hope held out by MT. Newell. This simply duQS IO OI IuOS6 WLO waiting on the government to finish it's work
 That there are people here who are not doing all that they should to i'm prove their lands-as MT. Newell in- timates-is true of every community, but the facts are that the people of this section, as whole, are acting in good faith and are doing all that their financial abilities will permit.
 The people of Yuma looked to MT. Newell as the recognized head of the Service, to bring words of cheer, but they were disappointed.
 May the near future develop some thing more cheering.
 MT. Louis c. Hill, supervising en- gineer of the Southwestern depart ment of the Reclamation Service, ar rived in Yuma last evening on the de- ayed Golden State Limited, and he joined MT. Newell here. Together, hey left for Phoenix last evening on No. ?.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
HUNTING A SHORT CUT TO
 CHINA.
By 4. w. MACY.

Columbus was not seeking . continent, but a short cut to India and China. During hls second voyage he skIrted tho coast of Cuba for several weeks In the confident belief that he was nearing "the City of Ca thay" with all it's golden treas. ures. For more than two cen turtles after his death naviqa- tors sailed up and down the eastern coast of North America seeking a passage that would lead them to China. They did not realize that America was . vast continent In itself. Jacques Cartier, French ex- pIorer, circumnavieated tho Gulf of St. Lawrence three times, following the coast line, searching for a passage to the Orient. He ascended tho St. Lawrence river as far as the present site of Quebec, but he little dreamed that nearly 5000 riles of solid land yet lay to west of him, and beyond that the greatest ocea an on the globe. And for hundred years after Cartier died his successors con- tinued to search for a passage to the west in connection with tho Gulf of St. Lawrence.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
HIS HAT WAS HIS FORTUNE.
By A. w. MACY.

In the year 1880 William Mur- dock, an English mlllwrieht, was travelling along a country road one day, footsore and tired. Coming to factory, he stop ped at the door and asked for work of some kind. The pro- prictor was about to turn him away when he noticed that he wore an ovaI-shaped hat. This was something new In the way of headgear, and 1t excited the proprietor's curiosity. "Where did you get It7" he asked. "l just turned it on my lathe," an- swered Murdock. "5ut It's oval, not round," said the proprietor, land Iathes turn things round" "Well," answered Murdoek, "l Just geared the machine snoth- CT gait to suit me-" He had in- deed invented the oval lathe and didn't know 1t. The proprie- tor saw that a man who could turn out an oval hat with, a lathe was too valuable a man to lose sight of, and gave him en1- ployment. The hat proved to be the foundation of both fame and fortune. Murdock also con structed the first wheeled Ve- hlcIe propelled by steam ln England.

ALL ABOARD FOR PARCEL POST

ALL ABOARD FOR PARCEL POST
 All the big and little officials oi the postoffice department, from Post master General Hitchcock down to the division superintendents, and "constables," who hold commissions as inspectors, have told the post masters of the country just what they are to do to put the parcels post into operation on the first day of the con- ing year.
 The generals are finishing their tasks by securing the publication of their orders, and are as cautious as mayors with public proclamations, that their individual names are not overlooked, when it comes to setting the type. The postal army is ready for the attack, and the indications are that the new scheme will work smoothly.
 A comparison of the zone rates in- dicate that for all except short hauls on packages of any size, that the ex- press companies still offer cheaper rates than the postoffice, though for short distances postoffice charges are less.
 Advocates of the parcels post, who have been fighting for years, are ac- cepting the new scheme as an "enter- ing wedge" but the fight for an un- limited parcel post, without zones, and with a common rate everywhere, is being carried on in Washington with undiminished energy.

 ply because a man whose trade is in the taking of life-even that of the dumb brutes-is apt to become so brutalized as to find relish and enjoy ment ia inflicting death at every safe opportunity.
 | Anybody will readily allow that the child who is born of upright parents and reared in an atmosphere of love, truth and honesty, has far better chance of developing into whole some, law-abiding citizen than has the child who is born and reared under the opposite conditions Then why can ! we not go further and accept this principle on a larger scale, with the state as the parent and society as her children
 Heredity is not all; environment and example count for much If the state claims and exercises the right to take human life at it's discretion, Is it strange that the individual will do likewise, occasionally. even though the death penalty hangs oyer his head? Has the state the moral right to ex- pect her children to obey her laws against murder so long as her own hands are dripping with her children's blood?
 am heartily glad that Governor Hunt has thrown the weight of his great office and his big heart into the opposition to this heathenish, inhuman law; for l believe that murder is mur- just the same by whatsoever name we may call 1t, or whether done by the state or by the individual Before 1 close this article, wish to add my strongest indorsement of Governor Hunts prison reform policy. That it will bear fruit, have every faith, for 1t holds out hope and encouragement to the eyil-does to show the best that is in him instead of the worst, as was the tendency under the old system handed down from the days of sav- agery. The scheme is right in prin- ciple. and most of us will live to see it put into general practice throughout the civilized world, and no longer regarded as a doubtful and dangerous experiment as is the case today.
