COLORADO RIVER
 IS SLOWLY RISING

The Colorado continues to rise slow ly, it having risen foot during the last four or five days. It now regis ters twenty-two feet on the govern mt gauge at the Southern Pacific bridge. It is now at a stage where it keeps everybody guessing as to just what it will do, whether remain in the old channel or feed itself on the banks. Down near the Emile post it has
 hanged its course about three or four Eliles, having made a complete cutoff at what is known as Nigger-head bend. Superintendent Priest is bend ing every energy to keep it in this new channel, for it gives the river a straight shoot from Hanlon heading down to the Mexican line, making it much easier to handle than when the waters had to find their way around the bend.

 Thou bringest order out of chaos, light out of darkness, good out of evil, peace out of conflict, even though the earth do change and the mountains be moved, even though nations rage and kingdoms totter. And we need have no fear for the days to come, if we keep the truth and establish justice, if we despise the gain of oppression, and seek peace and pursue it.
 Thou art our Refuge and our good Strength, a very present help in times of trouble and perplexity. O, send us Thy truth that they may lead us to the real sources of national strength. Inspire us with an ever-growing and ever-deepening love of those ideals which have made our country great and which can weld together those who left their homes in all parts of the earth to find security and liberty with in our portals.
 Let Thy spirit of wisdom and under standing, of counsel and might. rest upon this convention, that it's lofty passions may inspire the confidence of the people, that it's righteous indig- nations may purge the nation of it's ma- terialism, that it's high aspirations may strengthen the conviction that the true greatness of our country lies not in the abundance of the things we pos sess, but in the justice of our laws and institutions, in our devotion to peace founded on righteousness and love, in the brotherhood of all the races and all the classes and creeds within our borders.
 Bless our country that it may be a stronghold of peace, an advocate for peace in the councils of nations, of peace unto the peoples of the earth, an apostle of peace striv- ing earnestly for realization of the prophets dream of the day when men will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. when nation will not lift up the sword against nation, and they will not l-;arn war any more, when every man will sit under his vine and his fig-tree, and none will make him afraid.

Like many of our well meaning and loyal Republi- can sand Progressives here inYuma, predict that the bulk of them will march up to the polls on election day and cast their vote for Woodrow Will son, the man who not only believes in preparedness but puts his belief into execution, a man who not only thinks our army should be bigger, but who at once makes it five times as big as the Republicans made it, man who not only believes in a big navy, but who proceeds to build it.

The fact that President Sproule, Asst. Gen. Mgr. Platt and other high officials made a thorough inspection of Yuma projects settling basin at Laguna dam yester- day would indicate that the officials were more interest ed in the irrigation of lm- perial Valley than they were in the mere inspection of a dozen miles of railroad track.
 And we'll they might be, for it is known that the entire Imperial Valley irrigation sys- tenn is yet owned by the Sou thern Pacific, that company having purchased the entire system last February when it was sold by order of the court to satisfy the claims held against it by the Sou thern Pacific.
 All these officials know, as does everyone else who has given the mat ter any serious thought, that ultimately the Imperial Valley must connect with Yuma project at our ten mile drop on the siphon canal, thereby obtaining wa that has caused and is causing Imper. ial valley so much trouble, and IS en- tailing an expense of upwards of Gle million dollars per annum. Ira: Pres iedtn Sproule and othe- members of his party were making careful ex- animation of the subject is further evidenced by the fact that upon leav- ing Yuma yesterday afternCCn they immediately made trip down to the Volcano Lake levee to see what is being done there to protect the great Imperial country form the overflow now rushing this way from the head waters of the Colorado For the sake of Imperial valley it is to be hoped that MT Sproule will be able to con- vince the Imperial Irrigation people that the best thing for them to do is ti hurry and connect with Yuma pro- ject. The recent visit of the Mexican Commission from Nogales to the lands in Sonora below the Arizona line may have had something to do with the trip MT. Sproule and his brother off, cials made down the Reclamation road.
 One thing is certain however, and that is that Yuma will very soon profit by this unheralded visit of :he higher ups" of the Southern Pacific It is to be hoped they will let no grass grow under their feet in remedying the abuses that have been pointed out in the Yuma Daily Examiner. We want all passenger trains to stop at the de pot-not in the stock yards.

1t is an excellent idea to cover the

depth Of four inches. This not only
enriches the soil, but protects the

never pack the manure down close

make the soil sour. and also makes 1t
more wet, which. Of course. will cause
heavier freezing in severe weather.
A little straw with the manure will
act as mulch and produce better re-

will do the beds good, but be careful
not to overdo this.
