WASHINGTON RECLAMATION
 RECORD M|sREPREsENTS YUMA

The Reclamation Record at Wash ington takes a shot at Yuma's weather by saying that in July the weather was hot and labor conditions were poor
 Wonder if that scribe had heard oi the hot weather back east and if he said anything about the weather being hot on any of the other projects? It's a safe bet that he didn't. It is fore, of habit with some people to knoci Yuma when as a matter of fact oul July weather was cool this year ant compared more than favorably witf most inland points. People here dit not complain of any warm weather work continued as usual, there were no sunstrokes and deaths as in many northern and eastern places of whic the papers were full-and are now and yet this nut cant find any bet ter way to refer to our project than to say:
 Ut was hot"
 The Examiner fails to find any sucl information in Project Engineer Sel Jews comprehensive report as publish ed in the Yuma Examiner of July 31 and it is entirely within reason to as sume that the scribe of the Reclam,l ton Record in making his report on the Yuma project, in utter ignorance about Yuma that is so common, starts an otherwise interesting report by saving it was hot" as the reason why more progress was not made here.
 There never was a more outrageous slander spoken about any locality.
 There have been times in the fall

and winter during the past seven years when work slowed up, but it wasn't be cause the weather was hot. And the weather wasn't hot here in July.
 Had this scribe been reporting on August he could have with more trutf have said the weather was hot; bu' in the face of the extremely hot weath CT all over the United States, Yuma at that has a little the best of it, as the people who live hereabOuts knov
 In The Examiner of the latter par of July, Rev. B. D. Griffin, the Bal tist pastor, said of Yuma weather:
 Friends, this is the finest mid-sum mer weather that I have ever seen.

How I do hate to see so many of our goot people leave for the summer mOnCns on the pretense of escaping the hot weather. No man feels like question ing the sincerity of others preten tions, but some of us have our feeling' about this summer vacation bushes just the same This fad of cOast-gOin& brings together many people in th' coast cities. Yuma is not very inter esting. She looks pretty much desert ed. Many houses are vacant. o course, it is more pleasant over on tn; coast. We don't feel that all who g: over are sick. No; it is just moro pleasant to spend the summer on tho coast. Not necessarily more pleasan weather. No; just more people; nor pleasure; more fun.'

BUFFALO BILL RET|RES TO PRIVATE EXISTENCE
 SOLDIER SNOWMAN QUITS HE SlWDUST CIRCLE

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 2S.-Col William F. Cody (Buffalo BilD, an nounces that he has definitely re tired from public life. Today, bp order of the United States district court the property of the Buffalo Bill Wild West and Far East shows was disposed of at public sale I'll this city to satisfy the claims of credit OTIS. The sale marks the end of Col. Coay's carer as a snowman. So far as public exhibitions are concerned he has shot the ashes from the last cigar and chased the last Indian.
 Of the hundreds of thousands of young and old who have visitel Buff falo Bills Wild West show dr ing the past quarter of a century, there are probably few who will not feel regret at the announcement that be- cause of financial difficulties, the show has had it's final round up.
 Col. Cody has turned his seventieth year. During more than half his life he has been a prominent figure in the public eye. Mule driver, pony express rider, stage driver, scout. soldier, hunter, showman-are a few of the occupations which made his career probably the most picturesque of living men.
 From the day that his father was killed in fight that gave bloody Kansas" it's name, William F. Cody was never idle. At the age Of lo, already man in size and strength he had been herder, messenger and express driver and had won a name as a dead shot and a hOr8eman with few equals.
 Under Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson he saw his first Indian fighting. The civil war found him private in the

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.- Scarcely any other appointment bl this administration has stirred sucr a storm as the selection of Tom Fox Democratic political boss of Sacramen to, Cal, as postmaster there.
 The Fox appointment has become more than state matter. It is at tracting national notice. It is dis cussed not alone by California poll ticians here, but widely talked among political leaders at the capitol. It IS looked on by many as threatening tt affect the political future of the state of California for some years to come and as likely to result in sending an other Progressive senator to Washing ton and striking a damaging blow al the hopes of the Democratic party tC gain complete ascendancy in Cali fornia.
 Governor Hiram Johnson of Califor- mia looks now to be the probable gain CT by this appointment, and his friends are convinced his hold on the state i;

President Arthur The army officers attended, and the Speaker of the Seventh Kansas cavalry, an active "Jayhawker" regiment, and for more than ten years after the close of the war he saw service, first as scout and alter as chief of scouts, in the Indain wars His commanders included Gems Sherman, Sheridan, Miles, Gus ter, Crook, Ord and Fry-all the ia nous Indian fighters of the period It was when he was chief of scouts and under Gen. Crook that he won fame by killing in single combat the Indian chief, Yellow Hand, knife against tOmahaWk
 1867 he won his title of Buffalo Bill. It was then that a gang of 1900 men were laying the tracks of the Kansas-Pacific across the plains and were furnishing for fresh meat Cody volunteered to furnish the meat and in IS months, with his horse Brigham, and his favorite breach loader, "Lucretia Borgia,' he killed 42S0 bison.
 In the '7O's Col Cody tried acting in a melodrama of the west and it was the success of this which led to the formation of the Wild West show with which his name has been linked for thirty years. The big show was launched in earnest in 1883. The first performance was given in Madi- son Square Garden, New York city. when Henry Ward Beecher intro duced the famous plainsman and scout to the public. On the first presentation of the show in Wash ington a few weeks later Gen. Philip Sheridan acted as master of cere- monies, riding in the Deadwood stage coach Gin which he had travelled to the Black Hills), accompanied by House found it necessary to adjourn

on account of lack of a quorum.
 When Buffalo Bill first launched his show the experienced men in the business laughed at him and said that it was a wild scheme, but in less than six months he was making more money than Barnum. The show toured Europe several times and was as successful there a on this side of the water
 Just how much Col. Cody has left of the millions of dollars he has earn ed in the show business is problem atical. Of late years the profits have said also that the famous old scout has lost considerable sums in poor investments But those who are in the best position to know declare that the personal fortune of Buffalo Bill is unimparied by the disasters that have oveItaken the show that bears his name. It is generally believed that he is well fixed financially and in no danger of coming to want in his old age.
 In talking over his future plans, Buffalo Bill says: I expect to spend my remaining years in the west. Ev- cry cent that I have made in the show business I have invested in this section in developing the arid plains that are now fine home lands peopled with happy American families. l was the first to undertake and success fully accomplish results under the Carey Arid Land act through irriga- tfon, the locality being in the Big Horn Basin Once I spent $7OO,OOO in digging an irrigation canal before I got a cent returned.

Intense interest prevails in Yuma and elsewhere throughout the South west since the rebels have attacked Sharp's Heading, below here, on the west side of the Colorado river, and there is a strong possibility that in addition to troops for the Imperial valley, a company or two of Uncle Sam's soldiers may be stationed here during the coming fall and winter to be in readiness for service anywhere along the Arizona and California bor- der.
 Yuma is not in danger of any at tack at present, but the people of I'm perial valley want United States troops stationed on the border to pro tect their water system, and they have the assurance of Senator Works that he will present the matter to the sec retary of war and urge that the pro- tection asked for be provided.
 The senator recently held confer ence with representatives from cOun- sel for the irrigation district, directors of the district and the presidents oi several of the mutual water com panies Haines explained the situa tion to the senator, showing that the 30,000 inhabitants of Imperial valley depend upon water, for all uses, who'll ly upon the canal that passes through Mexican territory, and that the supply could be cut off by the destruction of a wooden gate that is on the MeXica side.
 The Mexican government has kept a military guard over the gates al Sharp's heading to prevent mo,eSta- tion by insurrectos or bandits. and the American troops have been stationed at Calexico from time to tima, H'.' at present there is only a small guard of rurales on the Mexican side and there have been no American troops on the border between San Diego and the Colorado river for many months.
 Recently the Mexican officials at MeXicali have seemed apprehensive of trouble, possibly as a consequence of their efforts to drive the disorderly element out of town, and Americans have been warned that no protection can be guaranteed them. Military rule is in force in MeXicali and no crossing of the line is permitted after dark. The inference is that the of ficials have information of a disquiet ing nature and fear a recrudescence of their trouble of two years ago. The valley settlers think it would be con ducive to safety if the Mexican guard along the canal were supplemented by a force on the American side There is no other part of the border from the Rio Grande to the Pacific, where so much damage could be done in a few hours or even moments by mali cious and excited raiders, and there is no other stretch of boundary line so unprotected.

TRUTH AND THE NEWSPAPER

At last there comes out of Indiana a voice to champion the honor of the nress. A sneering remark by pros ecutor meets just rebuke at the hands of Judge w. A Thompson, dlStln guished member of the bench.
 "I believe the newspapers to ne truthful and their representative to be truthful" Judge Thompson said.
 This Indiana iurist is right.
 Absolute accuracy is no more pos isble always than absolute anything else, but it is desired and eagerly sought by almost every American newspaper.

 The fact that these men approve the proposed plan for building a system of modern roadways and intend tc vote for the bond issue should con vince any voter, who has not yet de cided in regard to the matter, that tho plan must have great merit, and that if he is not willing to accept
 judgment in the matter, he should make a thorough study of the entire plan to learn of it's merits for himself. as we'll as to attend the meeting next Tuesday. Such a study of the plan if made with an honest desire to learn the truth about it, is certain to con vince any one that it is good, and i carried out will mean a long step to ward a Bigger and Better Yuma.

The girls then made their way or foot to Tempe where they hired 6 buggy and team, telling the owner that they wished to drive out in the coun try a short distance to visit a rela tive who was sick, and they promised to return within a few hours. After leaving Tempe the girls drove direct to Florence and continuing on their way through the town headed for Su perior with the intention of taking the trail over the mountains, past Walnut Springs to the Ray road.
