Yuma is rapidly emerging
 from the slough of mud and
 despond that permeated ev- cry part of the bushes sec ton of the city on the fatal
 morning of January g, twen- ty-four years and eleven
 months to a day after the aw-
 full flood of 1891. Business houses generally have open ed their doors and are doing business at the same old stand, while the unfortunate citizens whose homes are ei- ther flooded or washed away
 have found other places of abode, some in rented houses some with relatives or friends while others are housed un- der army tents furnished by the government or state, and
 made as comfortable as cir cumstanceS will permit. And all this in less than a week af- ter the flood. It is a source of qualification to everyboc;- that conditions are not very much worse than they are. In
 any other city of like size any where in the United States the suffering would be mag nified a hundred fold, for no other. city has the mild eli mate this season of the year that is enjoyed by Yuma.
 It is days like these that vex a mans soul. It is a cri- sis like Yuma has just emer- ged from that brings out the best in mankind. It is the hour that shows just exactly what kind of citizens we have and let it be said to Yuma's credit that taken as a whole YumaiteS have proven them selves equal to the emergen- cy. The very first thought of her leading citizens was
 for the poor and unfortunate and to at once make provision
 for their safety and comfort. Provisions and clothing fair ly poured into Relief Head quarters from every part of the city. Many of the unfor
 tunateS were given better clothing than they ever pro- bably worn before. And the gifts were not made in the spirit. of charity, but as a mat ter of public duty to their fellow beings. And those who received these gifts, in'I most instances were grateful beyond expression. Tears could often be seen as some honest mother led her chil- dren into the Relief Head quarters, only to come out with eyes dilating with grati- tude to the generous donors. It was pathetic, and yet the donors had the great satiS- faction of knowing that they had actually done a splendid duty, one that must ever re- main as a mark of distinction lnthelr favor.
 Those noble women who 1 gave up dresses that would have served them for many days to come, can congratu- late themselves on their sac rifice. The little boys and girls who shared their cloth ing with the little boys and girls who had everything on earth swept from them can we'll feel proud that the op- portunity came to them this early in life to demonstrate the unSelfiSh spirit. It speaks | volumes for them.
