Its buildings, land ana equipment have cost over $20,000, and it has an enrolment Of 53 students, nineteen of whom are working for the degree of B. s. A. The students main tain a live agricultural club and are generally active and enthusiastic In their work.
 Unification of Agricultural Work
 The College has recently been com bined with the Experiment Station, with Director Forbes at it's head, and it is believed this combination will place at the service of the students more teachers and better equipment, while better support from the public is expected for one strong organization in agriculture rather than two separate ones
 Courses leading to the degree of B. s. A. are offered in Agronomy, Horti- culture and Animal Husbandry, and in addition to these long courses the original two years short course in gen. eral agriculture is still maintained to accommodate students who cannot of ford to take the former.
 Generous appropriations have been made by the State legislature for ex pansion of the work for the next tive years,-for additions to the dairy herd, new buildings at the Farm, additional instruction in horticulture an dotheI branches, and for other needs A new beautiful and commorious building for all the work in agriculture has been provided for.

COTTONWOOD AND MESQUITE NOW
 APPROXIMATE IN YUMA COUNTY

PARKER, July 2S.-Among the huL- dreds of letters that are being receiv- ed constantly regarding the land and soil in the Parker valley there is much inquiry as to the amount and variety of timber on these lands.
 The greater part of this valley is covered with a more or less dense growth of mesquite and cottonwood, the cottonwood timber borders the river, running the entire length of the valley, forty miles, in strip ranging from 100 yeards to a mile wide. The growth is dense, the trees for the most part being fully grown
 Outside the cottonwood belt the valley, except few small areas of section or two each, is covered with mesquite. In some places this mesquite growth is light, there being hst about enough to furnish the set tiers with fence posts and fire wood for a few years. These are the only uses to which this wood can be put IS the trees are too crooked to be used for lumber In large areas, however, his growth of mesquite is very dense and hundreds of cords of firewood can De cut from a singlt acre. The ex- )ense of clearing this mesquite from the land, including dynamiting or grubbing the stumps is from s to $10 n acre judging from the experience If similar valleys along the river. The average growth can be cleared for
 bout $6.

BRIDGE MATTER Is UP
 ID THE CAL|FORN|ANS

Yuma county, which is larger thar six New England states, with popu lation of 5000, has spent large sums of money for good roads, and the state of Arizona is spending more, and, in addition, is engaged in the construc Jion of a concrete highway bridge across the Gila river in conjunction with the San Carlos and other bridges on the public highways east of Yuma, and the proposed $75,000 national and interstate bidge to cross the Colorado river here.
 NOW, in addition to these big in provements, which are of vast bene- fit to overland travel into the South west and the state of California, Yuma will spend nearly half million dollars on roads in the next couple of years $500, 900, or possibly $350,OOO, of which will be raised by a bond issue which posterity will pay for. but present gen. erations will reap a great benefit there from
 These facts are called to mind by the suggestion that Yuma help to raise a part of California's S25,0 promised toward the Yuma inter state bridge To the Examiner, it ap- pears that California can we'll afford to keep her promise as that state will gain the greatest benefit through the overland automobile travel through Yuma for several years to come and particularly during the San Diego and San Francisco fairs.
 California's tardy action in the bridge matter may delay the building of this national and interstate bridge for two years or until the next ses sion of the California legislature wheL it will also be necessary to again gC before the national congress for tn national appropriation, and the Ari zona governing body for our share
 All this delay can be saved by [ prompt guarantee of the $25000 b, Imperial San Diego or Los Angeles county, or all three in conjunction And the amount will or should be re- funded by the state of California. But Southern California good roads boost CTS should bestir themselves at once and thus start the building of this important bridge at once.
 Superintendent l.. l.. Odle, of thu Fort Yuma Indian school, has official information that the only thing hold ing back the construction is the delay of California, and a California guaran tee can right that.
 P. H.. Everett, consulting engineer of the Los Angeles Highway Commis- | sion, who was recently in Yuma in the employ of the Yuma County Board Supervisors, made comprehensive re port of the amounts to be spent b. the people for Yuma county good roade 1 as follows:
 Somerton road, with two-mile branch | from Whites water trough west, $126, | 900.
 Other Valley roads to be laid out | and designated later, S62,0O0.
 Dome road, from Yuma to Dome | $50,O00.
 Yuma's Laguna road, with pile bridge | across the Gila river. s12,0O0.
 Dome road, from Dome to Maricor l line $50,O00.
 Deep Wells to Bouse, via Quartzsite, $2O,OOO.
 Road between Parker and Wenden $25,0O0.
 Total, s350,O0O.

HAYWOOD MURDERER
IN BUMCOMbE CO. JAIL.

James Caldwell, who shot and
killed his wife and probably fatally
wounded her uncle Asbury Moody
at Hemphill, near Waynesville,.
about ten days ago, was brought to
the Buncombe county Jail last night
for safe keeping. 1t was feared that
if Caldwell was kept in the Way
nesville, Jail. friends and rela-
tlves of the murdered woman
would lynch him, as feeling against
the prisoner is strong in the Hemp
lii section. Caldwell was brought
through the country in an auto
mobile by Sheriff Palmer, of Hay
wood county.
Caldwell's second victim, Asbury
Moody, uncle of Mrs. Caldwell, is
sui aiive, out there is very little
hope of his ultimate recovery. The
wound in his throat has again start
ed bleeding, and he has only the
slightest chance for recovery.
both Mrs. Caldwell and her uncle
were very popular in the Hemphill
section, a. d both had hosts of rela-
tiveS and friends there. Mrs. Cald-
wells elopement with her husband
was not taken kindly by relatives
and friends, and this is alleged to,
have been the cause of the couples
separation later. 1t is also stated
that the attitude of the Moody
family toward Caldwell and his con-
sequent dislike of the whole family
led to the shooting of Mrs. Caldwell.
and her uncle.
The death of Mrs. Caldwell which
followed the morn;ns after the
shooting, and the precarious condi-
ton OF her uncle, have caused cen
siderable feeling in the Hemphill-
section, and for this reason, it is
claimed, the authorities of Haywood
county believe Caldwell Will be
more safe in the Buncombe county
Jail. He will probably be brought
here this week. Citizen
Later news is to the effect that
Moody died Wednesday night.

STOCK BULLETIN.

Atlanta, Ca, October 5.-As a
part of it's work for the upbuiIding
of the live stock industry in the
Southeast, the Live Stock Depart
ment of the Southern Railway pc
riodically issues a bulletin telling
of stock for sale or exchange and of
stock desired to be purchased. The
bulletin is compiled from informa-
ton furnished by stock owners and
copies are mailed to over $4,000
farmers and dealers.
Through this bulletin a. large
number of sales have been made
and many farmers have been en-
abled to get stock of just the type
they desired. Instead of sending
good sires to the slaughter house
after serving their allotted time with
one herd, many owners have
through this bulletin been enabled
to effect an exchange whereby each
added years of usefulness to the
| life of a good animal.
The entire expense of issuing the
bulletin is borne by the Sout aern
Railway Co. F. L. Word, Live
Stock Agent, Atlanta, Ca, will be
glad to send copies to any farmer
or to include in the bulletin inform
alton in regard to stock for sale or
exchange.

GOO1 ROADS A
MORAL ISSUE.

The good roads question involves
good morals and should therefore
receive the careful consideration of
every christian. A sreat deal IS being
said about the decadence of our
country churches. and it is one of
the really serious problems that coz
fronts our people. Not much pro-
gress can be expected of a church
that is reached by gulleys miss
named roads, but a great smooth
highway in front of church in the
country is in itself powerful
incentive to make the church <Whal
it ought to be. 1t would be far
easier matter to induce our country
churches to move up to tw1co d
month preaching if the roads were
in better condition. Once a month is
too often to be compelled to travel
over some of the roads that run by
our churches. A large number of
OF our Sunday Schools 90 into win
ter quarters for the same reason.
The roads are so utterly Wretched
that travel at certain seasons is
we'll nigh impossible. A good road
somehow inspires in a community
a certain self respect that cannot
be had without it. 1t is the fore
runner Of higher type of citizen
ship. A blind tiger loves bad road,
but cannot flourish where an auto
mobile can make IS miles an hour.
Furthermore, the drawing of neigh
bOrhoOds together creates COM
munity interest that makes for
moral progress. In the moral realm,
as in the physical, generous rivalry
is promotive Of progress. The wider
out look is always helpful. The
neighborhood that is isolated be-
cause communication is impeded
if not prohibited by the condition OF
the roads, will remain backward in
every respect. Leaving out of con.
sideration the material prosperity
that always follows road improve
ments, the question of our mora
and religious welfare depends more
: largely than we think upon the con
dition of the roads that traverse
the community. The great and grow
ing interest on the part of our peo
: pie upon this vital matter of bette
roads is a gool omen of bette
