YUMA RAPIDLY EMERGING
 FROM SLOUGH OF MUD

one is the concern of all. Give the poor man chance
 to get back on his feet again,
 and as Yuma springs into new
 life, new energy, the man
 who has been helped will
 show his worth, will be an
 honor to his name and a ere dit to the community.
 Of course, there will be
 found croakers, people who would find fault with the se- cond coming of the Saviour.
 But these are so few here in
 Yuma, so few that they are not worth mentioning. There will be some who will say all the blame on the Reclama- ton officials for the flooding of the Reservation unit and the Yuma valley unit, without stopping to think that human
 ingenuity in all probability could not have checked the on-rushing waters. But there are only a few who will ven- lure such an argument.
 When the levees were con- structed had they been given a core of concrete, or galvan- ized mesh wire set up for a depth of two feet all along the levees the gophers would not have wrought such dam age. But gophers have ruin ed many levees long before this and will continue to ruin many more without the ex- penSe above mentioned. It would have taken all the men in Yuma county to have suc- ceSSfuly patroled the Yuma Valley levee. And even then t is extremely doubtful if it could have been saved at those points where it was not rock revetted. And all the men in creation could not have prevented the flooding of the Indian Reservation, where for several miles the water went raging and tear ing over it's banks a full two feet above the railroad rails, and with such force and ve- locity that railroad rails were twisted and bent as though they were hair pins in the hands of an infuriated wo- man. The old government levee east of the city could have been saved if MT. San guinetti's advice had been followed to run a spur of the railroad along it's length ana rock dumped along it's sides by the trainload a week be- fore the high water came.
 But all these things are in the past. YumaiteS can't afford to cry over spilled milk. Nor do they intend to. What must be done now is our levees so they will stand like the rock of Gibraltar. The Reclamation officials are doing their share of the work, and it will be done more thoroughly now than ever before. There be any more breaks on account of the levee not be- ing high enough, nor will the peSky little gopher have such an easy time in the future.
 Let everybody cheer up. Meet your more fortunate neighbor with a smile. Don't begrudge him his good for tune of missing the flood. Smile and you will always get a smile in return.

RICHMOND SENDS
FIRST CONTRIBUTION
NATIONAL Campaign Com
mfttcc Yesterday.
SURPRISED AT APATHY.
Chairman Hawkins Declares Rich
mond is Startiingiy Indifferent in
Matter OF Electing Democratic
Ticket

Richmond's first contribution to the
Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund was
sent to the National Democratic Com
mittee In New York yesterday by O.
A. Hawkins, chairman of the local
subcommittee. The check was for
$1,000. and WAS made payable to w.
w. Marsh. treasurer of the national
committee.
1t was the intention of the sub-cem-
mittee to send a check for $2,5 next
Wednesday,. but knowing that the
money was urgently needed by the
National committee. check was for
warded yesterday for as much as pos
sible. Only a small amount In excess
of $1,000 has been collected up to
this time.
Mr.. Hawkins in speaking of the re-
suits so far accomplished. said he was
surprised at the apathy shown by the
majority of the people of Richmond.
In face of the necessity that immediate
assistance be rendered the national
committee.
1T appears that Richmond has for
gotten that she has been a great bene-
ficiary under the Wilson administra-
tion." Mr.. Hawkins declared. land /
am surprised to see the indifference
with which the efforts to elect Mr..
Wilson arc met, For Richmond to
enjoy the benefits In the future that
she has had in the past, the Demo-
cratic party must have victory in No
vernber. and 1t Is up to Richmond to
render all the help possible. We hope
we will have at least $4,000 to send
to the national treasurer by the mid
Ole of next week"
Efforts are being made to bring Car
ter Glass to Richmond about the mid
die of next week to speak to the Rich
people people on the present needs OF
the party. On Tuesday Mr.. Glass will

exercises of the University of Virginia

BRIDGE PROP. SII.ON
IN COUNCIL MONDAY
Suggested Ninth Street Bridge Do Inn
proved and New Bridge Go To
West End.

AT tomorrow nights meeting OF the
Common Council the bridge question
will be among those that will come up
for consideration. The session prom
ises to be a busy and a rather lengthy
one as there will be present a number
of advocates Of various bridge PROPOSE
tons.
1t Is expected that the present
bridge plan to locate the north end of
the structure across the James River
at Laurel Street will be changed so as
to place the bridge further west, where
the river Is not SO wide and where
the structure can be erected at smaller
cost. 1t Is argued by advocates of a
bridge higher up the river that the
city's population is going west and
in few years there will be need for
new turn will come in the matter
and that the present Ninth Street
bridge Will be improved, and a new
bridge built in the western part of
the city. Such a decision II Is de-
clared would obviate putting three
bridges In the middle section of the
city, and passing by rapidly growing
section.
Another matter to come up will be
the improving and the remaining of
Mayo Street. Councilman Ladd has
resolution to offer. changing the
name OF the street to Dixie. Because
of the former unsavory repute of Mayo
Street 1t is deemed advisable by some
to change It's name.
