his fifty bucks" per day to investi- gate the true facts and correct his abominable falsehood of 21 years ago.
 But just read this: "It seems in- evitable (says this fellow Anderson) that the Red Mans destiny is to be gradually pushed off the face of the earth, to be kept moving on,' as poor Lo' was ordered, until he reaches the jumping off place. There is no place for him in latter day civiliza- tion; if there is he cannot or will not adapt himself to it. TT MAY BE BETTER so, TT MAY BE THE NE CESSITY OF HUMAN PROGRESS; TT MAY BE MERCIFUL THAT HE IS DYING OFF RAPIDLY" Sc, sc. ". But while I am standing at the foot of the parade grounds over looking the great desert and the Gulf of Lower California to the far south west, AND LISTENING TO THE SORROWS ATTENDANT ON THE EFFORT TO SAVE SOME RELICS OF AN EXPIRING RACE OR MAKE ITS DYING MOMENTS LESS HARSH, I am forgetting that it is boots and saddle by ' a. m., and with my grip not packed"
 Having written such an article for publication 21 years ago, and then come back here and see the wonder ful progress the Yumas have made, what marvellous changes have been wrought throughout this entire sec tion, what the United States govern ment has done for the Indians, and done for the white man in converting desert into the garden spot of the world, can any sane man keep his blood from boiling at the fact that this same eminent engineer" saw all these changes and yet did not have the manhood to get down on his knees and ask forgiveness for his vile mis- representations Of 21 years ago? Well, I guess not, and l further venture that when MT. Eminent Engineer" G. G. Anderson has occasion to visit Yuma again he will find that the people of this thriving, progressive city will not be slow in telling him just what they think of him and all of his knid.
 And by way of parenthesis and con clusion it may be we'll for the es- teemed Fl Centro Progress to forth with "disavow" all intention of sland- ering Yuma by giving Anderson's Scottish imagine story space in it's valuable columns, else we are very apt to think over here that those who own that paper are bent on starting something." If that is the purpose, we over here are ready. Sooner or later Imperial Valley MUST connect with Laguna dam, but before that IS done Imperial Valley MUST make is peace with Yuma That's as sure as the

No one will deny his statement in this regard, but for his information I will tell him that of the 100 test wells that are ac- curately measured practically every month in the year some of them show the water table has been lowered SEVEN feet Since the last high water. However, because prac- tically ALL the test wells have low cred since the high water in the river last spring and summer does not mean that any of the wells have gone back to the point where they were after last years low water, but as a mat ter of fact practically every test well in Yuma Valley shows a considerable rise since last year, indicating con- clusively that each year the water table comes a little closer to the sur face, in fact it averages all through the valley a rise of practically ONE Foot each year, and the records show this to be the exact condition for the past four or five years, for in many parts of the valley five years ago the water table was 10 feet below the surface, while right now at the same we'll, the water table is but four five or six feet from the surface. In oth- CT sections the water table is now less than three feet, and in few places only about two feet below the surface, each irrigation season bring ing the water table nearer the surface.

Further along this fellow Anderson says: "It was my good fortune to spend the night at Fort Yuma Before retiring I looked out over the old pa rade grounds, illuminated by the bril- liant moonlight, the silence broken only by the yelp of the distant cCy- ote," sc.

The United States government is prone to leave the education and civilization of poor Lo' to the tender mercies of the Roman Catholic church, probably because 'Barkis is willin' ,; probably because no other organiza- tion eXerts itself in any forward way. And that of course makes another of the many grievances of that curious organization the "A. P. A But surely that point is scarcely worth quarre. ing about, suggestive as it may be c

I have never yet visited an Indian mission school where the sug gestion of INUTILITY IN THE EFF FORTS TOWARDS EDUCATION WAS NOT MUCH IN EVIDENCE. where some of the teachers, in a mo- ment of great frankness, would not ADMIT OF THE UTTER USELESS NESS OF THE LABOR. And one of the officials at Fort Yuma repeated the old story-that THE BOYS WENT BACK TO THE RESERVATION, TO THE BLANKET AND THE MOC CASIN, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WHILE THE GIRLS-WELL, AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF DO- MYSTIC SERVICE, THERE WAS AN INITIATION OF EVEN A SADDER FATE IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES THAN WITH BOYS"
 Twenty-one years after that auda- cious and vile islander on the govern ment and on the Yuma Indians in particular this eminent engineer" G. G. Anderson, had many occasions to go over practically every acre of the Yuma Indian reservation, where with his own eyes he could see that the Yumas are as prosperous and ener- getic as any "Scotchman" who ever wore kits; he could have visited the Yuma Indian school again and with his own eyes could have seen that un- der the watchful eye and the guiding genius of Superintendent Odle that the boys and girls attending that school are making good" in every branch of study and in every walk Of life.

BLACK COFFEE POPULAR DRINK
With Uncle Sans TeetOtal Navy
Always on Tap.
ASSOCIATED Press


Base American Flotillas in British
Waters, August 3-Black coffee is the
popular drink with the men over in
Uncle Sans teetotal navy. Steaming
hot coffee is always on tap on board
the destroyers when they are out look
ing for submarines. The men say it
not only keeps them awake but serves
also as a stimulant and protector
against the rigorous climate candi-
tions under which they have formed
ashore and found such a satisfactory
substitute for the use Of alcoholic
drinks.
The vast majority Of the men say
they 10 no, miss the absence Of in
toxicating drink on board their ships.
Those who want it can get it ashore
from midday until eight in the evening
but for the vast majority the liquor
saloons have very little charm. The
record of the men as a whole in this
respect, say their officers, has been
one of the gratifying features Of their
stay here.
The patrols, therefore, have very
little to do but walk up and down the
main street of the village in search
of the trouble that seldom comes.

NEW YORK; Feb 6.-Percy Haush-
ton started II when he declared the Of
fensive side of baseball needed some
changes. and then outlined few. Now
they're all doing it, They've advocated
everything that could be thought of all
most, including abolition of curve balls.
One Of the most recent suggestions
along these lines is that a pitcher not
be allowed to pitch his first two balls
TO the batter in CURVE fashion Each
Of the first two heaves should be
straight and above board fl is con
tended. In this case the batter would
get toe-hold. lean far back and take
a whack at the old cripple" He would
be looking for it. Consequently the i'm
FEEDERS would be ducking and the
pitcher would be fiat on the ground by
the time the bah reached the plate.
OF course there are other things IN
the suggestions among which is one
that the pitcher not be compelled to
place his first two offerings over the
plate Ho could make them a little wild
If he wanted to and then hool, over
three for strikes Naturally the batter
would want those first ones ana prob
ably would take crack AT them even
if they didn't come close
Another suggestion is that the foul
strike rule be amended. One person
even would have the foul lines moved
farther 10 the left or right-as the case
might be-to take in more territory
This person rtghtfully claims that whom
a batter gets hold of one and cracks
it down the right or left-held foul line
a mile q minute ne should be entitled
TO ali the glory that goes with such q
performance. He should either have the
benefit Of knocking the whey out of the
ball he believes. or should NOT be
charged with a strike
The abolition Of the spit-baI has re-
eeived serious attention ana promises
70 be tile one point that Will III deeply
considered. John X. Tener. president of

believe that foreign substances. as rep

The Crown Point team has been Sc

should have the services of an entirely
disinterested and impartial referee.
