WASHINGTON On EDGE
 WITH WAR EXCITEMENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 28.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner by J. E. Jones-This war game is cer- tainly hard on the nerves. At the outset we had the senate rolling along till the wee small hours of the morn ing, figuring on the differences be- tween tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum in collaborating resolution. And next we learn that two cabinet officers and the secretary to the President call the latter out of bed just before dawn, and want to know what to do to stop the shipment of arms at the port of Vera Cruz.
 Tell Fletcher to seize the customs house," quickly responds the execu- tive-and everyone knows what fol lowed.
 And then appears Carranza in the unexpected role of demanding the evacuation of Vera Cruz-and his case udS IO U0 S0IIl0u.
 Meanwhile, old heads, like Woods and Funston, with records that glorify the pages of American history, are brought into the affair, and every ave nue of the navy and army is suddenly active.
 The White House physician drops into the game, and having become anx- ious regarding his distinguished pa tient, orders him off to bed, but the Commander-in-Chief refuses to obey.
 The designs are all drawn on the trestle board at Washington, and it is an exciting thing to watch-and still more exciting to those who have to keep cool heads" while they do the directing.

DOUGLAS JUDGE
 BOOSTS FOR YUMA

Yuma's boosters are not always local people, nor local papers; but are for the most part visitors from other sections who observe the opportuni- ties, and observing, are impressed.
 Following is an item taken from the Douglas International, of Tuesday, April 2Sth:
 "J. B. Speed, the real estate agent, returned this morning from Yuma, where he had been for several days on business. Like everybody who visits the Yuma valley, Judge Speed returns enthusiastic over that coun- try. In his hand he carried a bunch of barley heads cut from one of the Yuma fields that shows the grain al most ready for cutting. Judge Speed thinks the Yuma valley has advan- tages in the matter of rich soil and an abundant water supply that no other valley in the Southwest possesses"

SUNDAY WAS ARMY
 DAY IN YUMA TOWN

A great deal of attention was at tracted Sunday by the army trains which passed through Yuma from vari- ous California points, en route to Fl Paso. Three separate regiments, accompanied by all the Red Cross ac- couterments incident to war, spent the day here, and continued their journey last night.
 Among the notables was Captain Wickham, who was stationed here last winter in command of a regiment, and who is well known to a great many of Yuma's citizens. He was entertained at the Elks' Club last night by a com pany of friends and, later, accompanied by Mrs. Wickham, left for the east.

REFUGEES LEAVE MEXICO

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28.- After a conference with the President, Secretary Bryan announced all ar- engagements completed to permit seven hundred American men and women, the last remnants of the American colony at Mexico City, to leave the capital.
 VERA CRUZ, April 28-There was rejoicing here when word was received from British Minister Garden that Huerta had agreed to let another train load of refugees leave Mexico City and that 250 will arrive tomorrow.
 Admiral Fletcher also received word that the lenient treatment of Mexicans at Vera Cruz had caused a change of heart at the Capital. It is improbable that the American lines will be fur ther extended pending the mediation, but this matter is for Funston to de- eide when the Fifth Brigade arrives be- fore nightfall, as Fletcher has already been informed that Funston will have supreme command ashore.

THINK THAT \ WAR
 WOULD BE GOOD THING
The Imperial Press says:

1AS ICOO 0dyO
 Apparently war is at hand. It may be that open conflict may be averted for a few days later, but it is hardly possible that it will be avoided long.
 No nation yet ever got into the chaotic condition that exists in Mexico and worked itself to a civilized state of centuries In fact, no nation ever got into the condition without being res cued by the infusion of new blood.
 There is only only one hope for the Mexican people, and that is through the interpOsition of the United States.
 There are tens of thousands of Mex jeans who have been in this coun- try as laborers, who have returned to their homes, and they ought to realize that the coming of Americans to their country, bringing the free institutions of this country, would be helpful to all Mexicans.
 It is probable that war with Mexico would result in great colonization movement from the United States, as it did in the Philippines and Cuba, and there is even the possibility that such colonization will eventually result in admission of the Mexican states to the Union. But such admission would give to the Mexicon people all the rights and privileges of Americans, and all would be for their good.

WORK ON
 $. ). B A. RAILWAY

SAN DIEGO, April 2S.-Activities preliminary to grading the eleven miles of right of way recently let to contract on the east end of the San Diego & Arizona Railway are booming along with great rapidity, ac- cording to the latest news from "the front" Chief Engineer B. J. Kall- right said yesterday that twelve car loads of stock and equipement, includ- ing wagons, carts, scrapers and camp ing outfits, are already on the ground with seven more to come, and the force is rapidly increased.
 The cars went by way of Fl Gen. tro to Coyote Wells, the present end of the track, and the horses and mules and equipement will de distrib- uted from there. Between Coyote wells and the beginning of the new contract about three and one-half miles of finished grade is now be- ing surfaced, preparatory to track laying, which will go forward as soon as a disabled construction locomotive is repaired.
 The greatest problem with which the contractors have had to contend is that of getting good water in suf- ficient quantities for use at the camps along the line. The problem has been solved by laying fourteen miles of water pipe from Dos Cabazos Springs, the first point where pure water is to be found after leaving Coyote Wells. The springs are two miles off the line and 2,OOO feet above sea level.
 The pipe, some of which was hauled overland from the west end of con- struction has been laid direct from Dos Cabazos springs to the line, where two branch pipes take it up and down the entire distance of the work. This source will furnish enough water, ac- cording to Chief Engineer Kallright for the stock, all camp purposes and the concrete work, and the consump- tion may run as high as 15,OOO or 10000 gallons a day.
 Robert Sherer, head of the con- tracting firm, and George James, gen eral superintendent, have just re- turned from Imperial Valley, where they have been making the necessary arrangements for getting the equip ment or the ground and the new force started" said Kallright. Crowley another partner, will be on the ground in person from now on to supervise the construction and rush the present contracts to competitor. Mrs. Crow ley has engaged cottages at Coronado for herself, family and servants.
 At the west end, in Mexico, the force is also being rapidly increased. Three more rock camps will be es- tablished immediately, which will call for more steam drills, the necessary equipment, and men to operate them
 Kallright himself will leave San Diego Tuesday in an automobile to go over the entire east end of the line from ''the front" to Seeley to inspect the completed work and to give instructions to his men.

Fl CENTRO WINS PLACE ON
 COL, COLU|ER'S NEW RAILWAY

FL CENTRO, Cal, April 27.- The Southewestern Pacific, The
 $65,O0O,000 road of mystery, sur
 veyed to run from Grand Junction,
 Colorado, through the Imperial
 Valley to San Diego, is a mystery
 no longer. Further, it is no long
 CT a papers road, for construction
 work has begun, and the first
 president of the new road is no
 less a person than Col. D. c. Col
 Her of San Diego, whose indomit-
 able spirit and unflagging energy
 made the San Diego Exposition
 possible. Also, it is announced,
 that the new road will connect
 with the San Diego and Arizona
 on the west, and the Colorado
 Midland on the east.
 The veil of mystery, which has sur rounded the work of surveyors and engineers on, the proposed route from Grand Junction to San Diego was brushed aside by Colonel Collier him. self in San Diego when at a mass meeting held in his honor he told of accepting the presidency of the line.
 The fact that the San Diego and Arizona is to connect with the South western Pacific practically assures the placing of El Centro on a great trans continental route, which will open up the great Colorado river basin,, tap enormous fields of iron ore and coal in Southern Utah, besides territory on which stands over 16,OOO, 900 feet of timber.
 Here are the pointed features of Colonel collier's message regarding the road:
 The Southwestern Pacific company is to be incorporated in three weeks. He is to be president.
 The road is to cost S65 100000.
 It will be about 1150 miles long.
 It will place El Centro 400 miles nearer to Denver.
 It will follow the Colorado river basin, opening up great deposits of iron and coal and extensive tracts of timber.
 It will unfold within 500 miles of Ell Centro greater resources in the way of raw material than are to be found within 600 miles of any other city in the world
 It will permit coal to be landed here at less than $4.0O a ton.
 It will permit of the manufacture here of pig-iron at $53O less per ton than what it can be manufactured on the Atlantic coast and landed here.
 It will render tributory to Fl Centro territory in Northern Arizona and Western Utah on which stands 16,- OOO,OO0,000 feet of timber.
 The road was the conception of MT. Rolla B. Clapp, brilliant young min ing engineer, who about seven years ago became interested in the possi- bilities of the Colorado river basin, and who in bringing the idea to the fruition 1t has thus far achieved has had the financial support of Herbert A. Parker, a business man of Chicago.
 It is the aim of Colonel Collier to have San Diego made the headquarters of the company, which is to be incor- porated within three weeks.
