VISITORS FALL IN LOVE WITH
 YUMA AND |Ts FINE CLIMATE

People who come from the bleak and breezy east and north on a visit to friends living in Yuma and San Pas cual valleys invariably fall in love with the country and re- turn to their homes with a hope in their hearts that some day they will be privi- legged to live in this favored land.
 Two Washington gentlemen and one lady, who were visiting here all last week, are no exception to the rule. All three were fascinated with the climate and the beauty of the sur roundings, and announced their in- tention of speedily arranging ro re- turn to Yuma, and never, never, per init themselves to be pried loose.
 The Examiner with pleasure an- nounces the return to Yuma of two other Washingtonians, namely: Bert Pearson and l.. E. Heard, who both agree that there is no other place that can compare with Yuma and each expects to increase their hold ings here.

YUMA INDIANS
 NM AT FOOTBALL

The scheduled football game on Thanksgiving Day, between the Yuma high school eleven and the Ft. Yuma India nteam. resulted in a score of 19 to IT in favor of the Indians, which was not unexpected, as the high school boys averaged 50 pounds per man lighter than the Indians.
 The splendid Fort Yuma band rem dered some of the their best music before the game, and good sized crowd of Yuma boosters went over and enjoyed the many excellent plays made by both sides. The game was the last one of the season Following were the players of the contending teams:
 Yuma High School-Center, Hubert Thacker; right guard, John Noriega; left guard, Charles Hobart; right tackle, R. T. McPherson; left tackle, Owen Clark; right end, Gladney Mac Beath; left end, Wallace Evans: quar- terback, Jim McLay; right halfback, Robert Crane; left halfback and cap tain, Vance Clymer; fullback, Ulysses George; substitutes, Clayton and Garcia.

even got shot at them.
 We travelled along the bank of a main canal for many miles, and goodly portion of this time Gov. Can tu and I were walking. The banks were so thickly lined with pumpkins that at times it was really difficult to get through them, free to every one who will take the trouble to gather them, many thousand of which would take blue ribbons in an inter- national fair, grown without cultiva- tion-the seed simply scattered along the banks and the vines left to get along as best they can. The fact that the ground is covered with them shows how rich the soil is-it's just like Yuma valley.
 We passed miles upon miles of cot ton plantations, the fields almost as white as snow, for the frosts have parched the leaves and left nothing but the bolls. Wagon load after wa gon load of the staple was being haul ed to Calexico to be ginned, and this too despite the fact that Carranza has placed an embargo on the expor tation of cotton from Mexico The fact that Gov. Cantu permits all of it to be sent across the line shows to what extent he obeys Carranza. Ill deed 1t Is a perfect answer as to wnU is master of Lower California Most of this cotton is grown by Americans, and Gov. Cantu has guaranteed them that they can market their products where they please. That they are al lowed to do so only goes to show that Cantu keeps his faith with his people.
 I am sure that 1 saw over 10,00u head of fat cattle>in in one pasture, and in another I saw upwards of several thousand head of fine horses and mules grazing on alfalfa. Hogs were to be seen by the hundreds at every hacienda, and every farm yard had it's full quota of chickens and turkeys, showing that Cantu's domain is in- deed land of prosperity and abun- dance. 1 am sure that on one days "trip saw food enough to feed mil lion men for months to come There Is, therefore, no danger of Cantu's people ever being in want. They have not only all they need, but they have enough to ship away without missing any of it.
 One thing that impressed me very much on the trip from Mexicali to the mud-lake regions was the fact that at every main crossroad we were stop ped by a company of cavalry-rang- ing in numbers from 25 to 75.
 The governor and I were required to get out of the automobile and shake hands with the commanding officer and salute the soldiers.
 I am quite sure this occurred not less than half dozen times during the trip, showing to what absolute perfection Cantu's domain is being patrolled by his loyal followers. All in all, I was greatly impressed, and in this final word, I can truthfully say that I don't believe it is possible for a foe to get in striking distance of Cantu's headquarters.

 MEXICALI, Mex, Nov. 25.--I spent all of yesterday as the guest of honor of Gov.-Gen. Cantu, Chief Justice Qua jardo, Superior Judge Gonzales, Mayor Montejano, Commercial Az ent LaZoda and other distinguished officials of Mexicali and Lower Californla. And no prince of the royal blood was ever more royalty entertained than I was. Nothing was too good for Don Pancho of Texas" as my distinguished friends affsctionately termed me.
 The gates of hospitality were thrown wide open. The right nand of fellowship was extended me from every side, indeed the coItresias were so persistent and consistent that often I was thoroughly embarrassed fer the want of words to expres; my gTati- tude-for when educated, patriotic Mexicans made up thelr minds to en- certain a guest they do i. in manner peculiar to themselves alone. There is no halfway business about it. They go the limit.
 The entertainment consisted in making trip to the mud lakes where the violent volcanic eruptions occur red last Saturday Gov. Cantu was as anxious to see that section of his do- main as I, for the eruptions had caused one of the heaviest earth quakes that this section has ever had, and yet strange to say, they did no damage to the buildings in either Calexico or Mexicali The first shock was of twenty seconds duration, dur ing which this whole section was rocked as if it were a swing, back ward, forward, backward, forward, and then sudden stop as though one had fallen from the swing.
 Naturally every one wanted to know what damage the shock had caused the irrigation system and the levee that runs from Andrade to the Black Butte mountain. To this latter spot my distinguished friends led me. There were three automobiles re- quired. The first was occupied by MT. Perry and Mr Best, officials of the Mexican irrigation system, who act ed as the pathfinders. The seconu machine contained Gov. Cantu, Chief Justice Guajardo, Mayor Montejano, Commercial Agent Lozada and myself. The third machine contained Superior Judge Gonzales, A. Guajardo, brother of the chief justice, Dr. Roel and others. l had been provided with an automatic shotgun with which I was expected to kill ducks enough to feed regiment. Gov. Cantu had simi- lar gun and other members of the party were equally as well armed for the days sport
 We approached the levee carefully for the road was cracked so badly that auto troveling was rather pre- carious.
 We spent three hours walking along the banks of the mud lakes. At the foot of Black Butte the soil was so hot that it was steaming. There were cracks in the levee big enough for a man to hide in,, but, strange as it may
 seem all of them were longitudinal

not one was across. the levee-a freak of the shock that must be very grati- flying to those whose duty 1t is to see that the leVee is kept in repair And the same is true of the damage that was done to the irrigating canals if damage it can be called, the cracks all running lengthwise, resembling cracks in an over-ripe watermelon.
 The air was so filleu with the rumes of sulphur that pne would conclude that pretty nearly all the sulphur in the world was right at that particular place. In a few instances, beds of sulphur were burning, and in other places saw pure sulphur piled up as though human hands had but just fin ished the work At the foot of Black Butte there is a hot sulphur spring that was gurgling and smoking to such an extent that I hastened away from it, for it seemed to me that could almost hear the devil chopping wood and replenishing his unholy fires-it was too awe-inspirlng to make a fellow feel comfortable. Gov Cantu laughed heartily at me, but noticed that none of the party went any closer to that noisy we'll than did, and l would never have gone as close as I did had I known what rum blings could be heard through the crevices that stretched out from it's base.
 We took lunch near this peculiar well, and such a lunch one rarely lives to enjoy. 1t had been prepared under Governor Cantu's order. My friends, Lozada and Arturo Guajardo, took particular pains to see that the order was put into perfect execution. and thus we feasted, within 8 stones throw of a mud lake that only two days before had been splitting mud, sulphur and sulphuric fumes In col umns that reached away up in the clouds, and for all we knew was lia- ble to repeat it's antic at any mom- ent. After lunch the dead soldiers" were ranged in lines at the foot of the first small hill and all of us tried our hands at pistol shooting. Governor ,Cantu and AttorneyIA. Guajardo prov ing the most expert in that line.
 suggested that they had probably better save their. ammunition for real live soldiers, but my friends only laughed and assured me that they had all the ammunition they would ever need, and having had the privilege of inspecting the supply depot the day before I confess that I can't see how so much ammunition will ever be needed anywhere, for 1t was stack ed up in carload lots by the hundreds.
 The duck shooting was poor, for the water was too5t hot for the ducks to remain in it without taking the skin off their feet. Being the special guest of honor my friends insisted in giving me the first shot at everything They gave me credit for having killed one duck, one water turkey, a curlew and a snipe, all the game that was killed On our way back home, over an entirely different route. we saw thousands of quail, but the brush and fields were so thick that none of us
