Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Yuma, Ariz.-Yuma valley was
covered to a depth OF from one to
four feet of flood water from the
Colorado river Saturday night as
result of the breaking Of the govern
ment levees near here. The city OF
Yuma was in darkness and without
supply of water, as the plants supply
ing gas, electricity and water were
flooded. A citizen committee was
maintaining order here, Mayor
Charles c. Moore having dropped
dead of heart failure during the panic
that prevailed shortly after the lev
ees gave way.
Business houses in the main street
here were flooded to a depth Of four
feet by the water and many Of the
other buildings were washed away
or badly damaged. 1t was intimated
that more than 100 buildings have
been swept away. Residents were
sent to the hills from the river.
Officials of the reclamation service
estimated that from 100000 to 175,.
900 second-feet of water was passing
tnlS point, Ine uedNleSL llOou Sonui-
ton ever recorded here.
At least four miles Of the govern
ment levee was washed out just be-
low here, and the waters have broken
over the west main canal at several
places, which necessarily must flood
the greater part, II not all. Of the
Yuma valley.
Across the river on the Indian res
ervation unit OF the Yuma irrigation
project, conditions were equally bad.
Thousands of acres of agricultural
land, both on the Arizona and the
California sides OF the Colorado, were
inundated.
With the waters of the Colorado
river receding, work Of rescuing the
Yuma valley flood sufferers was car
ried forward Sunday. 1t was esti-
mated the damage from the flood
would amount to more than $1,000
900. The river fell two and one-half
feet Sunday and continued to recede.
though 1t was still above the thirty
three-foot stage.

COOLING COLLEGE
FORWARD MOVEMENT

The time was when anybody or any
group of bodies could announce a col.
lege, procure a charter from the state
authorizing the giving of degrees, err
ploy two or three teachers and begin
work. Nobody passed upon the college.
Standardization was unknown. The
graduates Of such college were college
graduates and that was sufficient brand
of scholarship.
The time is when colleges are stand
ardized. Ample buildings and campus
for college work must be had. Teach
ers must be College graduates AMI
University specialized. They must have
time for study. There must be at least
six who teach in College department
only. There must be general libraries,
departmental libraries, laboratories rca-
sonably equipped, etc.
All this requires an initial investment
Of two hundred thousand dollars. It
requires two or three times as much in.
come as the aggregate of fees which
students pay. This excess income is
essentially philanthropic. 1t must come
from collections taken in churches, pri
vate gifts, etc. Such a dependence is
more or less unstable. 1t is ever so.
Every college is seeking surer guar
anty of support.
Now the founders and promoters Of
Gooding College having foreseen all
this have determined to fortify against
it by providing an endowment of $780,
100000 in addition to the two hundred
thousand for initial investment, max
ing total resource at the opening Of
the College of $400,OO0.0O.
The people of Gooding and commun-
ity have pledged over $3.50, 100000 condi.
toned upon the raising of the four
hundred thousand before opening the
College. 1t remains to raise the $780,
100000 additional from the friends and
supporters Of this proposed collegiate
enterprise outside of Gooding.
The trustees Of Gooding College have
determined to make vigorous cam
paign Immediately for this amount
The best modern methods Of campaign
ing are being employed, sturdy or

CASE TO BE HEARD IN MAY

Boise, March 4.-The state engineer
has designated May 20 as the date for

against the Utah Construction com

The state, through the land board, de
company, purchaser of the project
works, for the installation of an irri-
CATION system by which the lands in

Daily prayer for the Gooding College
campaign for this remaining $3.50, 090.-

Bishop Lewis said all the money he
ever raised for education (many hund-
reds of thousands) he raised on his
knees; Secretary Hancher says the
same thing and he has directed the
raising of millions. Praying people Of
the Inter Mountain Empire, this call OF
prayer is to you. In the Baker Univer'
sity campaign in which $6O5, 100000 was
raised, probably $4,000 people asked
God daily for victory. The same pro
portion has held good in all the Other
campaigns of recent years. Everyone
of them has been really great r.

Il. Under the law as it existed prior

practice by the Thirteenth session of
the Legislature (Sess. Laws, 1915, PIP.
319 to 324, inclusive), the only method
of procuring review in the supreme
court of the evidence in criminal
case was by means of bill of execp-
tons containing the evidence or upon
appeal from an order granting or deny
ing motion for a new trial.
'.2. While section 1855, revised codes
requires the Indictment or information
in felony case to be read and the
plea to be stated to the jury there is
to be kept of it and, in the absence of
Il specific statutory requirement di
recting that such fact be recorded, the
presumption is, when the revord is
silent upon that point, that the pro
,.eedings We're regular and that the law
was complied with.
