Yuma Will Get the Bridge; It Is a Certainty Now!
LOCAL CAPITALISTS
 ID GUARANTEE FUNDS

Yuma has been busy today over the bridge matter, and the situation, as it now stands, is this: Four Yuma citizens, namely, John Gandolfo, ST., E. F. Sanguinetti, J M. Molina and A. Modesti, will guarantee $5,000. If Yuma needs it about $3,OOO more can be raised just as easily. All Yuma's big men see how foolish it would be for Yuma to turn down $64,O00 cash now available for the bridge for the small sum now lacking.
 The outside situation is this: I'm perial county has pledged $7,OO0, to be raised by taxes, and can raise raise another $1,OO0, or a little moro if needed. San Diego has $7,000 in the bank for the bridge; three or four thousand dollars more can be raised if needed
 Los Angeles was expected to make -her pledge of $7,0OO good and has refused thus far, though several small subscriptions have been offered anG refused by MT. Michelsen, who went to San Diego yesterday to confer with Col. Ed Fletcher who has the bridge matter in charge.
 MT. Michelsen returned to Los An geles today and if Los Angeles will make good or subscribe at least $500O he will accept it. Otherwise, Yuma Imperial and San Diego will put up the Los Angeles end of the money.
 The committee appointed by the Commercial Club last night to raise whatever sum may be needed con sists of John Gandolfo, Sr, chairman; E. F. Sanguinetti, J. M. Molina, A. Modesti and John Stoffela. The very largest amount Yuma may have to raise is $11,O0O, though it will proba- bly be nearer $5,O00.
 It is now definitely settled that Yu- ina viii get inc bridge and it now re mains to finish the details, and the wires are being kept hot between the interested points with this end in view; also, another meeting of the Commercial Club will be held tonight at 8 o'clock.

PHOENIX, Sept 0.-Effectually putting to sleep the many rumors that he would be a candidate for the gov ernorship of the state of Arizona In the next election, Carl Hayden, con gressman from the state, writes firm denial of that ambition to close friend in Phoenix. This leaves the Democratic nomination for next fall as much in the air as it has been for the last six months. The congress man has been boosted for the candl dacy for several months by his many friends throughout the state. He was acclaimed a sure winner against al Democrats who would show them selves in the field as his opponents.
 The candidacy has been urged upon Hayden for many reasons, chlet O. which was the fact that he has not interfered with the internal fights or the Democratic party of the state ana would heal the breach which now eX- ists in the party.

HELD PUBLIC OFFICE
UNDER SEVEN PRESIDENTS

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. IL AT
ter serving through nine presiden-
tial administrations under seven
different Presidents and during
the term of office of four different
postmasters, the Oldest clerk in
tue Montgomery postoffice is dead.
Charles o. Harris, aged Negro,
who has been mailing clerk IN the
local office for thirty years, died
last week with more years of SER
vice to his credit than any other
employe.
Right after the war Harris was
leader of the Negro politicians
who then held sway over certain
part of Alabama. In fact, he was
considered high in the political
world of the carpet baggers who
ruled during the days of recon
struction and finally received a
government job.
MIR. Harris was never removed
and continued to hold his position
through Democratic as well as Re
publican administrations. He
watched postInasters come and go
and saw postmasters appointed
and removed, but he continued as
mailing clerk.
When Mr.. Cleveland was Presi
dent he replaced Mr.. Harris by
white man. After the white man
had served for few m. nths, it
was found that he could not do the
work and Mr. Harris was installed
in the Office again. On another
occasion, when IL new postmaster
took charge of the postoffice at
Birmingham, the largest post
office in the State, the white post
master soon found the office in
such confused and disorganized
condition that he could not man
age affairs He got Mr. Harris
detailed from the Montgomery Of

leading men and women of the

form observation of the fiftieth an

may rely on it, that, what DIR.
