The word "garble' originally meant
TO select for purpose" There used
10 be an officer called "the garbler Of
spices,' and 1t was his duty to visit the
stores, examine the spices and order

10 be destroyed. In this way the gar
bled goods were those which had been
sifted Of all Impurities. SO ''garbledr
report is one that is sifted down and
bereft OF some Of Its original contents.
Nowadays anything "garbled" is mis-.
leading and chopped up SO as to give a
wrong impressiOn.-London Opinion.

Decline Of the Bath.

One strange feature In the advance
OF civilization has been the decline Of
the bath. Washing In the golden ago

this century Of public baths. but from
an aesthetic point OF view they cannot

which was reduced to sS,3OO by house concurrents resolution No. 3. YUMA VALLEY |S
 FORGING AHEAD

The Yuma Valley of Arizona, under national reclamation has forged rap idly to the front as one of the rich and fertile regions of the Southwest. .. The change from the old haphazard methods which prevailed during the period when private irrigation sys- tems were operated to the present condition of intensive and practical is marked. This change is particular ly gratifying to the Reclamation Ser vice at Washington, D. c.
 Last years crop report is a most interesting document, and predicates in a measure the results which will obtain. when 100000 acres are pre- pared for crop. In 1916 the total area cropped was 2S,283 acres, and the gross returns amounted to 1,436, ,4O3, or an average of $50.7 per acre. Al falfa constituted the most important crop in acreage and gross returns, the yield Of hay on 10,SS0 acres be- ing $266,S9S, or $25 per acre, and from seed grown on S,1OO acres the returns were $32S,725, or $40.57 per acre.
 The highest average return was from cotton and seed, $100 per acre. On 4670 acres 2,2S9,43 lbs. of cotton or an average of 490 lbs. per acre were produced, and the gross value was $397, ,420 The average yields per acre of other crops were as follows: Beans, $44; Truck, STA; Indian corn, SPA; Corn sorghum, $25; Wheat, $22. The best evidence of better farming is shown by the fact that the average return per acre in 1916 was 45 per cent greater than for 1915l

March s, show an expense of S46.- ,9O.92, but of course there have been additional expenses since that time which will increase the total, it is be- heved, to the above mentioned figure.
 The first Arizona legislature in 1912 cost the state total of $49.937 IT. A first special session added $22, ,4S9 GA, second special session added S51 ; 316.S3, and a third cost an additional S25, ,707.27. The total cost of the first state legislature, therefore, represent ed an expenditure of $149,45 91.
 The regular session of the second state legislature cost the state a total of $52,S45 50. The first extra session added $24,612 36 to this figure and a second special session represented aE additional expense of $22,010. .S9. The total cost of the second legislature was therefore $99, ,405 75.
 It will therefore be noticed that the third legislature cost approximately S1,O0O less than the regular session of the first legislature and approximately $4,000 less than the regular session of the second legislature But in reality the savings was much greater. For in stance, the total expense of the first legislature was $149, ,45O 91, while the total expense of the third session will not exceed $49,000. The savings, there fore, totals almost $100,00O. While the difference is not so great between the second and third sessions, the lat ter, however, cost the state but slight ly more than half of the expenditure for the second session.
 State Auditor Jesse Boyce has con- piled the following figures, showing the expenditures for the third 1egisla- ture up to March s:
 Salaries of members, 22,6S0. This was the amount of the original appro- priation, which was unchanged.
 Salaries of attaches, $15,612. The original appropriation was s13,32O, but was changed by house concurrents re- solution No. 3 to .$15, ,S2O. ...~.... ,-
 Mileage, $2,2SS. 20. The original ap- propriation was $2,309. which was un- changed.
 Contingent expenses $5,590.7 72. The original appropriation was $11.700

las reached the summit of the noun tains. A crew has been working on the other side of the river and have finished the road a distance of ten miles from Clifton toward the river. There is only few miles left to be constructed before the road is open.
 The only thing that will hinder traffic on this new road in the very near future will be crossing the river. An effort will be made to construct a temporary bridge over the river to serve until steel bridge can be built. The river runs through box at the point where the bridge is to be built and on both sides of the river huge walls of rock raise to height of over eight feet, which will protect the pro- posed bridge, which will be one span, against all floods.
 When the new road is completed it will be a permanent road and cue that will not be affected by flood wa ters. The distance from Pima to Cliff ton over this new road will be little over fifty miles and can be driven with an automobile in less than three hours

PROGRESS ON
 NEW HIGHWAY
Rapid Progress Is Being Made On the New CIifton-SolomonvilIe Road.

Pima, March S-The new Clifton Solomonville road being constructed by the state on convict labor is rapidly nearing completion and within a very short time the road will be open tor traffic providing some temporary ar engagement can be made to cross the Gila River.
 The work on this side of the river is completed nearly to the river From Solomonville to the mountain, a distance of about fifteen miles, the new road traverSeS a country prac- tically level and little work was need ed to put it into shape for travel. The character of the soil is decomposed granite which is a natural material for good hard road bed. Most of the labor has been put in on the stretch of road going over the noun tains. Already a distance of four and a half miles has been completed of this mountain road. This piece of road is equal to boulevard and IS constructed ln such way that it will never be destroyed by. flood waters . Drain ditches have been made to catch the flood waters on the upper side of the road and every few rods culvert has been installed to convey the wa ter under the road to the canyon be low, so that absolutely no water runs over the road. The survey was made in such way that the grade is about the same from the foot of the noun -tains to the top and can be easily made by automobile in second gear The road is. sufficiently wide so that two cars can pass anywhere on it It will be ballasted and crowned with crushed rock.
