Honeymoons are interesting events

honey -mooners travel. Relatives anG

the wedding tour" it is honey

Mr.. and Mrs. Joel Carlson of Stock

most of the sweetness was lost in a
maze of fear and sorrow. Mr.. Carlson

attention of the stalwart gr4oom to
the fact that the world really was not
all happiness, and they talked over the
missionary work ahead of them with
grave seriousness, as the little bride

Interest of those on the boat was
diverted from the young bride and

hollow-eyed and weak with suffering

sympathy of every one on the boat

Almost years ago personally requested Governor Eseben Cantu prohibit Yuma Indians from requentng the saloons Agodones attention having been called to the matter by Superintendent L. L. Odle whose entire time is devoted to the uplifting of the Yumas At that time Gov Cantu gracious enough issue verbal order to that effect and both he and took for granted that the der was being enforced Some weeks ago had occasion to visit Algadones and my surprise found several Yuma Indians at the ba less under the influence of i- quor attribute this to the fact that the proprietor of the resort absent and that probably his bartender did not exactly understand the enormy of the crime of selling liquor to one of Uncle Sam'S wards
 Subsequently the United States customs collector asked personal favor what could be done prohibit the Yumas from crossing the lne filling themselves with liquor and then raising disturbance Superintendent Od strongly backed this up and said he would esteem it the greatest favor that could be bestowed the Yumas they kept away from Algadones. This was supplemented by personal appeal to from Commissions of Indian Af fairs Cato Sells when he was recently in Yuma.
 In company with Superintendent OdIe it was my pleas visit Governor Cantu in Mexica last week. at which time discussed the matter of constructing good road from Yuma to Mexcali, by way of AgadoneS We found the governor in most receptive mood ard the result of conference Governor Cantu promised maintain good road all the way from Mexcali to Algadones Sup erntendent Ode promising his part induce the United States to construct good road from the Indian Reseva tion to Algadones, thus giving through Mexcal Caeco and San Diego that will be perfectly safe at all

 explained Governor Cantu how important it for the weore of the Yuma Indians that they be denied ntox and asked him if he would grant Commissioner Sells request
 Il will grant the request with the greatest of pleasure said Governor Cantu mot only because you ask it for Mr. Sells but because it is in perfect accord with my sen ments shall most gladly issue the necessary written de and this time do not think the order will be dsobeyed That was most pleasing to personally, but was much more gratified the following day when received through the mails the appended letter bearing on this sub ec The letter has been Commissioner Sells and the city of Washington.

My esteened friend the editor of the Reclamation Rec ord at Washington, D. C., sought to pay Yuma Project very high compliment in the last issue of that invaluable monthly journal He rehashed story printed in these columns several weeks ago about business Yuma renting 200 of land the Yuma Indian Reservation but he got his figures twisted such extent that must of necessity give him mild calling down. He said the 60 of Egyptian cotton would produce 40 bales of 500 lbs each worth 50 per b whereas the tract will produce SIXTY BALES worth SEVENTY-FIVE cts per lb He said 40 would produce of milo maize per acre. whereas has actually produced THREE TONS per acre. worth SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS, instead of B, 800. He said my friend had sold his Peruvian alfalfa seed from 40 for 8OO which is correct but instead of getting three cuttings of alfalfa hay worth $5 per my friend has actually obtained FOUR cuttings of upwards of per acre. worth S22 per instead of $5 stated in the Reclamation Record So instead of total crop value of $165OO the crop value is really S3682O on farm of 40 say nothing of the cotton seed worth and additional $2, $50 Otherwise the Reclamation Record item OK
