Empire coats are exceedingly fash
ionable this season and this one in

waist effect is obtained in a distinctive
and novel manner. The square collar
IS an important feature of the very

coat is chic in the extreme. The
coat is made with upper and lower
portions. The lower portions are nm
ished at their upper edges and Tapped
onto the upper portions, then stitch
ed to position. There are shoulder
and under-arm seams and the sleeves
are cut in two portions each and sew
ed to the armholes. The collar fill
ishes the neck edge and the cuffs ars
scanned at the sleeve edges. The coat is
closed with a single button and but
tonhole, aud the closing in itself makes
an important feature.

The queen Of pipes belongs to the
shah Of Persia. Why is the great chief
tain Of pipes a queen? Probably be-
cause pipe is feminine oouD 10
French The little shah's pipe was
smoked by his father before hiD, and
by his uncle, and by his grandfather,
and how many more Of the rulers OF
Darius kingdom we know not. The
pipe is adorned with all kinds OF pre-
cious stones and is said to be worth
10000. It is constantly guarded by
q high court functionary, whose duties
allow him as much leisure as the super
intendent Of the Persian arsenal, but
as there is no arsenal in Persia so the
extent Of the sinecure may be judged.
Still, this functionary is responsible.
This IS how his Office was created:
Once grand vizier was found trying
to pry out stone from the pipe with
his poniard- Then the Office Of guard

Prichard in the Wide World. Snow

rush midsummer comes. Grasses and

cotton soon fings out its little white

gan calls, and. you may even see
butterfly balancing in the warm wind,
But then also wakens the countless
army Of hunchbacks, lean and gray
mosquitoes, piping blithely for blood
So summer reigns. Then suddenly
one day at the end of August, after the
sun has sunk behind the barren crags
through a balmy warmth Of evening,
one may wake up to find everything

Many Acres of Fertile soil.
1t is stated that there are more than
1. 900, 900 acres OF fertile land in the
valleys OF the Colorado and its trIbu-
taries, north of Yuma, which can easily
be reclaimed and converted into the
homes OF hundreds OF thousands OF
happy and COntented citizens Of the
two states interested. The greater por-
ton of the Colorado valley, WneLher
on the Arizona or on the California side
of the stream. viii be, or should be,
tributary to Yuma
And that is not all. There is the
great valley Of the ella, from the con-
1luence OF tnaI river WIN tne Ne s, Io
just above Yuma, 10 point lou miles
east, embracing fully 100000 acres

sun, which is only awaiting the appli-

The storage of the flood waters Of the
Colorado and the ella rivers VIII solve
the flood problem which has always
had a tendency to keep the people OF
Yuma guessing as to what might posi-
bly, happen next Nothing ever mas
happened. but there has always been
possibility that the next rain might be
heavier and that irrigation systems,
cultivated fields and even cities might
De washed away.
To Reclaim BY Pumps.
Pumps are expected to help reclaim
the million or more acres OF fertile land
in the valleys of that Stream which
are now deserts. On the Fraser ranch,
near WelltOn. in Yuma county, several
hundred acres have been reclaimed By
means Of pumps operated by crude OIL
burning engines.
The valley of the ella, from Yuma
as far east as Buckeye and Arlington,
q few miles west Of Phoenix, was at
one time all taken up by farmers and
much of the land was under cultivation.
Millions Of dollars were spent to build
canals and laterals and other millions
were spent on clearing and leveling and
otherwise preparing the land for plant
ing. The great flood of 1891, the like
Of which had never been heard Of before
nor seen since, swept away the head
gates, ruined the canals and covered
the titled fields with silt and other de-
bris. The farmers, discouraged by the
havoc wrought by the flood, abandoned
their farms and quit the country. When,
later, attempts were made to bring the
lands under cultivation, 1t was found
that so much water was being taken out
Of the rivers by the farmers who had
taken up lands in the valleys OF the
Salt and the upper ella, that there was
not enough left to be depended upon.
The underflOW was not then under
stood, nor had crude oil burning en-
gines, with their cheap power, been in
vented.
