YUMA WANTS CHANGE.

A large and representative body OF
Yuma citizens met at 2 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon at the Yuma theatre
to determine the sentiment Of the
people toward changing the present
form of government into full-fledg-
ed city government involving new
charter fully adequate to the needs Of
a prosperous and growing community
such as Yuma is today.
The old charter, under which the
present town is struggling, was drawn
about 1887 and applied to mining
camps and towns of 300 and up. Yu-
ma now has population of 4O7O,
over a thousand more than requir-
ed for city charter. The last U.
S. census gave Yuma 2,930 people,
which was 70 short of tEe number re-
quired to form a city government

EXPENSES FOR
DENVER TRIP

At a meeting of the Parker Board
of Trade held Saturday evening,
March 21, it was unanimously decid-
ed that j. B. Flanagan should attend
the irrigation congress to be held at
Denver beginning April in the inter
ests of Parker and the opening of the
Colorado River Indian Reservation.
The expenses necessarily arising
in making this trip are expected to be
betrayed by voluntary subscriptions
from all those who are interested in
the opening of the reservation lands
every business man and every per
son owning realty here will be bene-
fitted by having a Parker representa-
tive in attendance at the Denver con-
ference, as the Parker project will
come up for discussion at this meet
ing.
First Assistant Secretary A A.
Jones of the department of the inter
or has announced his intention to be
IN attendance at the Denver meeting,
and has promised to report to con-
CESS a method of opening Colorado
River Indian Reservation with the
results of this meeting in mind.
Therefore, it is very essential that
We should have a delegate from here
present to look after our interests,
and urge the immediate opening of
the reservation.
Contributions toward this expense
should be made at once to the secre
ta1y of the Board of Trade, G.. A.

COTTON BRINGS
VALLEY $l25,OoO

BLYTHE, Cal. March 25.-Blythe
cotton gin closed for ginning last
years cotton crop on February %.
The total amount or value of the
cotton crop just marketed brought
into the valley about $l25,000. The
amount paid out for hauling the crop
to the railroad amounted to about
$4,000
There were about 1O5 patrons of
the gin in large and small amounts,
ranging all the way from 345 pounds,
the smallest amount ginned for any
one person, to 10000 pounds of cotton
for j. S. Rees, who was the largest
grower of cotton in the valley last
year. Robert Culpepper was second
J. o. Young was third, Wilkinson &
Hanlon fourth and John Anderson,
fifth.
The estimated acreage to be plant
ed to cotton in the valley, this year
will be about three times that of last
year, and assuming that the yield per
acre and the price received will be
about the same as last years crop,
lit is pretty safe to say that the cot
ton crop for this year of 1914, will
bring over a third of a million dol
lars into the valley. And that
item of freight, would go long way
in building a railroad into Blythe

ANOTHER ARIZONA PROJECT.

The Alamos Land and Irrigation
last week. proposes to conserve the
waters OF the Date creek shed and
will build their storage reservoir at
Tres Alamos canyon, twenty miles
southwest OF Congress Junction.
1t is said that early this summer
dam building will begin and that east
ern financiers are behind the move
ment. SO feasible is the project re-
ported that thousands of acres of arid
lands can be reclaimed at al minimum
expense, and both sides of lower Date
creek can be covered by irrigation.
The volume of water to be stored can
be guaged as desired; in fact, it is
stated, the supply can be made of i'm
mense proportions, the site of the
dam being one of incalculable posi-
bilities in affording storage.
One the attractive features facing
the AlamOs is that Date creek affords
a living stream of water the year
round, and with it's drainage source
during summer storms an inexhaus-
tible supply will be afforded at all
times. Many years ago this recla-
nation undertaking was initiated, to
be abandoned later for lack Of cap
ital, and many of the original pro-
jectorS leaving the country The
land below the dam is said to be one
of the inducements for launching this
concern, owing to it's high state
fertility

1--WE, the undersigned citizens
of the State of Arizona, respectfully

entry of the surplus and unallotted
lands of the Colorado River Indian
Reservation, believing that such ac-
ton would be of immense benefit to
the Indians, as we'll as to the resi-
dents of the State of Arizona and the
country at large"
Thousands of Arizonians realize
the Importance of the opening of the
lands to settlement, and this means
has been provided them for the pur-
pose Of expressing their desire in this
respect

PARKER TO BE
REPRESENTED
j. 3. FLANAGAN WILL ATTEND
DENVER IRRIGATION CONGRESS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF URGING
RECLAMATION AND OPENING
OF RESERVATION UNDER THE
CAREY ACT.

Further progress of H. r. 8844,
which provides for the opening and
reclamation of the Colorado River In
dian Reservation lands under the
Carey act, has been held up pending
the results of the forthcoming irri-
cation conference at Denver on April
9.
Recent correspondence from Rep
resetnative Carl Hayden and First AS
sistant Secretary of the Interior A. A.
Jones, received by the Parker Board
of Trade, conveys the information
that the latter, who is holding up the
Parker bill for report to congress,is
not convinced that the Carey act is
feasible for the proposed project.
All other features of the bill have
been agreed upon, and Mr.. Jones ex-
ception to the Carey act is believed
not to be insurmountable. No one
doubts the assistant secretary's hon
esty and sincerity in the premises.
That the Denver conference, which
will be composed of delegates appoint
ed by the various Western governors,
officials of the interior department
and of the Reclamation Service, will
practically settle the method OF rec
lamation for the Parker project is in
dicated in a telegram received last
Saturday from Representative Hay
den. The telegram stated that Mr..
Jones has promised the Arizona dele
cation that on his return from Den
yer he will Immediately take up the
Parker bill with the results of the
conference in mind.
The tentative program for the irri-
CATION congress includes the following
subjects:
Cooperation Between the State and
the Nation.
Carey Act Projects.
Irrigation Districts.
The Administration and Operation
of the Desert Land Act.
The Settlement of Irrigation Pro
ject Lands.
Crops, Markets, Finances.
Ways and Means of Financing Flu
tIne Work.
AS will be seen from the above the
scope of the congress covers practi-
cally all of the irrigation problems
CT the West, and coming at this time,
When Parker, is so anxiously await
ing the necessary legislation for the
opening of the reservation lands, the
congress is most opportune.

The first day of April will be All
Fools Day. Fools caps will be worn
very low this year, and will rest
upon the right ear with the raking
effect of the new women's hats. Am
bassador Page will be big joker, and
the Mexican navy will be little jok-
er. There will be almost no jokes
at home this year.
April 10 will be Good Friday when
it is confidently expected that Pres
ident Huerta will be good and re
sign. Easter will come on the 18th.
The Easter styles are very becoming
this year. Skirts are to have Sits
tilated, and hats, which have been
pressing the right ear down against
the head and confining hearing to
the left side, are to have give
hole through which the ear rendered
useless by last years styles is to
come out in an upright position On
the 18th the anniversary of the begin
ming of the American War of Inde-
pendence will be celebrated by the
suffragettes, who will assemble in
Washington and throw bricks at the

bright,

And all the wedding gifts in sight

Parker to be Represented.

Among the delegates appointed
last week by governor Hunt to repre-
sent Arizona at this congress is j., B.
Flanagan, president of the Parker
Board of Trade, who will attend the
Denver meeting. The acceptance of
the governors appointment was de-
cided upon last Saturday night at a
meeting of the Board of Trade. 1t
was the sentiment of the meeting
that much could be accomplished to-
ward the settlement of the Parker
Parker attend and place the matter
before the congress.
Governor Hunt, Mulford Winsor
and William A Moody of the State
Land Commission are expected to at
tend, besides a number of other dele
gates from this state. With the back
ing of a strong delegation from Ari-
Zona it is firmly believed that the
objections Mr. Jones may now have
regarding the feasibility Of the Carey
act for the Parker project may be
overcome.
Ii it transpires that the government
and the state cannot agree upon the
construction of the project under the
Carey act, as now proposed, some
other method will undoubtedly be
agreed upon for the immediate open
ing of the lands.
