Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1914-10-08


 and his partner, Angelo Marchesi,
 contemplate something new, which is
 nothing more or less than stage line
 to Andrade. Nothing Ventured,
 Nothing Won" Andrade is said to be
 an important railroad point on the
 Mexican line, six miles from Yuma on
 the California side of the Colorado
 river. This venture cannot be a sig nal success until the new interstate
 bridge across the Colorado at Prison
 Hill is completed next February. This
 bridge is costing $75,OO0, and will put
 the Yuma ferry out of business, but
 will act as a lever to draw this way tremendous overland travel not now coming by the Southern route. ! Chas. Gilroy, proprietor of Gilroy's Barrel House, has been in Yuma per haps a score and ten years and is we'll to do. He has a nice home on First avenue at Third street, and spends his summers with his wife at the coast. He is one of Yuma's eldest men in years and in a business way is not now very actively engaged P. J. Sullivan, one of RooseveIt's Rough Riders and for years U. S. customs inspector here and elsewhere, IS heavily interested in the Stag Bar with Captain O. F. Townsend, his father-in-law. He has a ranch on the Gila river, where with his family he resides, but Uncle Sam hasn't yet given him the necessary water to put it on a paying basis and Yuma going dry would hit him most heavily at this time, although few years hence he expects to engage exclusively in prac- tical farming. MT Sullivan was one of the most experienced and valuable men in the customs service. and Yu- ma dry might see him back in the saddle.
 Gene Ingram is the youngest man in tEe trade here, and has brought the Bismarck de Luxe" Bar to the -ront from a losing business proposi- EiCn to one of the best money makers here. MT. Ingram came to Yuma 12 years ago, with his father, Ed Ingram, and with Earl Kent son of A. H. Kent of the Yuma valley. engaged in he bakery business now known as the Clark bakery, which they pur- chased from w. H. Shorey. They -ater sold at a good figure MT. h. gram then opened the Stag Bar. which ne sold to the present owners and went, to SinalOa, Mexico, where with his father he engaged in the land selling business until the Madero re- bellion compelled Americans to leave Or safety. His ventures in the land business were further prosecuted in Arkansas in a business partnership with his father-in-law, J. H. Day, who now has a large ranch at Bard until )ne year ago, when MT. Ingram with lls WlTe returned to Yuma The call )f the real estate business is verr strong with "'Gene," and Yuma dry pr wet may find him selling land lgain most any time.
 No man in Yuma has the interests )f Yuma closer at heart than E. r. who is Yuma's largest individual taxpayer this year. His arge interests cover the history of luma of recent years and he is Yu- na most successful business man. n nearly every artery of trade, MT. 'angulnetti is more or less interested nd ln his business he has now em- 'lOyed nearly 200 persons. Of his arge interests, the Yuma Ice company Till be hit the hardest if Yuma goes ry, both by reason of local trade nd outside shipments to various -rizona and California joints. This uslness may be cut in two by the " amendment and it naturally fol- ]WS that the wholesale and retail usiness at the B. F. Sanguinetti de store would suffer in propor- ion, and the force there will be cor 7spondingly reduced owing to the eadjustment of trade conditions.
 Unquestionably, every other large lsiness in Yuma would be likewise -feoted. The vote cast for and 5ainst the proposed dry amendment l November 3 will determine what le people propose to do with this oublesome question. There can be ) plea of ignorance on the subject. 9cause it has been worn threadbare Om every angle.
