WINTERHAVEN, CALIFORNIA.

This new and now more than pross- porous townsite lies just at the foot of the hill upon which is situated the Yuma Indian School, once the head quarters of the United States army of this section of the west. It is exactly one mile from Yuma, and from the manner in which its owners are pro- noting it's interests there is no ques-, tion but that it is destined to be city of no small proportions within the next year or so.
 Winterhaven is backed by the wealthiest man in Arizona. I would personally like the town better if it bore that mans name, for the name of it's packer is none other than l.. c. Shattuck, whose great copper hold ings are quoted in every commercial paper in the United States every day in the year. His is indeed a name to conjure with, and I miss my guess if Winterhaven does not prove another of his bonanzas.
 Two hundred acres surrounding this handsome townsite will be planted to vegetables this spring, arrangements having already been made to ship it out in carload lots to the eastern mar kets. An immense warehouse is now under course of construction, destined to be a great boon to farmers on both sides of the river, for MT. Shattuck guarantees to advance them 80 per cent of the market price of the com modities so stored and charge them a mere nominal rental until the pro duce can be marketed. Naturally the building will be fire-proof, which will insure all commodities stored against loss by fire. But as an additional safe ty a complete system of water works is now almost completed, the water being obtained from deep wells, identi- cal with the water at the U. s. Reclam ation headquarters less than half a mile distant.
 The largest lumber yard in this section of the state has been in sue cessful operation for several months where lumber is sold at regular Cali fornia prices, which is daily being talk en advantage of by all the people of the Indian Reservation and Bard, as well as by many of the Arizona side of the river, the rate for hauling by auto trucks being less than the regu- lar railroad rates.
 Winterhaven boasts of school house that would be a credit to any community, being constructed along the lines of Mission architecture and built of concrete and steel. It is real ly a model school in every respect and now boasts of nearly 100 pupils. The big store operated by J. P Glass carries a general line of merchandise and everything within it's four walls is sold at prices that compete with the best stores in Yuma, or in any town in the Imperial Valley. There | are several imposing residences, many small cottages and a first-class board 1 ing house. The promoters have just ! closed contract for a gin that will 1 take care of the 1500 acres of Egyp- | tian cotton that will be planted this | year. In fact the owners of Winterha- ven townsite have made up their | minds to leave nothing undone that l is calculated to make it a thriving, | bustling, hustling city. 'Tt takes money | to make the mare go."
 MT. Shattuck and his associates l have the money by the bushel Sue cess, therefore, must of necessity | crown their efforts. The page ad | found elsewhere in this issue testifies | to the fact that Winterhaven is on the map, and there to stay, growing | bigger and better all the time.
 The townsite itself is probably the richest piece of land along the Colo rado river It was splendid farm long before the town of Yuma was thought of, the owner supplying the government troops with all that was needed by either man or beast. Is of
