WATER FOR
YUMA MESA

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-
Congressman Carl Hayden has made
good his promise to the people of Yuma
by passing through the House the SEN
ate bill providing for the irrigation of
the Yuma mesa, SO that this measure
will soon go to the president for his
approval. The mesa unit of the Yuma
reclamation project contains about
10000 acres of the best citrus fruit land
in the United States, over $4,000 acres
of which are still part of the public
this time. The new act provides that
the government lands shall be ap-
praised at minimum price which shall
be sufficient to pay for the cost of con-
struction the irrigation works neces-
sary for their reclamation and shall be
sold to the highest bid5er, payment to
be made in four annual installments.
Residence upon the land is not re-
quired.
OldHSCS, iOtiiOIo, 81 APC-Ai uAI, eeASSN
and other mi-tropical fruits have
been successfully grown for number
of years at the Blaisdell orchard on the
Yuma mesa. Experience has lemon
strated that these lands are practically
frostless and of great fertility when
supplied with water The government
Soil Survey the Yuma project shows
that the mesa lands are free from al
kali and that the drainage conditions
are excellent. All of these facts being
well known it is anticipated that a
large number of purchasers will be
present in Yuma when the secretary
of the interior announces the date oe
the sale. The maximum area that may
be purchased by any one bidder is 160
acres, but much of the land will be sold
in small tracts. The establishment of
this rev reclamation project means
that at least 100000 will soon b.
added to the taxable wealth of Arizona,
and that many new homes will be es-
tablished on what is now waste land.

ESPEE IS BUILDING
REFRIGERATOR CARS

Announcement is made by the South
ern Pacific company that it is having
built for the Pacific fruit express 27O0
new refrigerator cars to be delivered
next April, in time for the last of the
orange crop and the beginning of the
deciduous fruit crop. The additional
cars will give the Pacific fruit express
a total refrigerator equipment of 1880
and will effectually prevent 1917
shortage of refrigerator cars even
should the demand for them be as
great as in 1916.
The new cars, according to General
Agent ]. w. McClymonds of the ex-
press company, are of special model
worked out by the Pacific fruit express
and government experts They are de-
signed to enable growers to send their
fruits and vegetables east in sound con-
dition, reaching the markets without
mechanical injury or deterioration. AS
fast as the other cars are repaired or
rebuilt they will be remodeled to the
new standard.
"Our cars" said Mr.. McClymonds,
"have been so well built that we found
last year, when facing the car short
age situation, that they could be loaded
to greater capacity than ever. For ex-
emple, the boxes of fruit were placed
seven wide and two high, with total
of 462 boxes to the car Previously the
loading was only 1876, so we got an in
crease in car service of six per cent
Had we had last season the new equip
ment that has just been ordered the
car situation would have been greatly
helped for we can use the cars for box
shocks or other dry commodities that
will not injure the interior of the car.
In other words if necessary we can use
them for other loading than fruit.

SURPRISE PARTY
AT McMILLIN HOME


Charles MacMillin was a surprised
man last Friday night, when his wife
gave a party for him at his home on
Zachary Hill. Mrs. MacMillin had in
vited in all of the neighbors to cele-
brate Macs birthday. Then she tele-
phoned Mac that she was, feeling badly
and advised him by phone to come
home at once. Mac rished home only
to find the house full of friends and he
couldn't say word. He just sat down
in chair and laughed. The evening
was spent with various games, after
which Mrs. MacMillin served refresh
ments. And the only mystery of the
whole occasion is how old is Mac?

RAIN MAKES RAYITES
WISH BRIDGE READY

High water this week again demon
strated the need of a bridge connecting
Boyd Heights, American Townsite, and
the depot with the business section of
Ray. The piers and all cement work
of the new skew span bridge to be
erected across Mineral creek are all
completed, but the steel work has not
arrived The Topeka Bridge company
have quite few contracts throughout
the country and people of Ray think
they are setting very bad example
for promptness in their work on this
particular bridge.

EVERYBODY is

Makes no difference how they smile
How they live or what their style;
Once in every little while
Everybody's lonesome.
People first in big affairs
Even they are lonesome.
Maybe like to put on airs;
Just the same they're lonesome.
Men for whom existence blends
Every good; who gain all ends,
Still reach out their hands for friends;
Everybody's lonesome.
Though your gift of friendships small
Everybody's lonesome.
1t may answer someone's call;
Someone who is lonesome.
Give and give with might and main,
Give your hands, and join the chain;
And your gift will be your gain,
Sometimes, when you're lonesome.

next door neighbor was even worse off,
