VOLUME XLIII. NUMBER 43., Yuma Will Get the Bridge; It Is LOCAL CAPITALISTS TO GUARANTEE FUNDS Yuma has been busy today over the bridge matter, and the situation, as it now stands, is this: Four Yuma citizens, namely, John Gandolfo, Sr., E. F. Sanguinetti, J. M. Molina and A. Modesti, will guarantee $5,000. If Yuma needs it about $3,000 more can be raised just as easily. All Yuma's big men see how foolish it would be for Yuma to turn down $64,000 cash now available for the bridge for the small sum now lacking. The outside situation is this: Im perial county has pledged $7,000, tc be raised by taxes, and can raise raise another $1,000, or a little mor if needed. San Diego has $7,000 in the bank for the bridge; three or four thousand dollars more can be raised if needed. Los Angeles was expected to make -.her pledge of $7,000 good and has refused thus far, though several small subscriptions have been offered ana refused by Mr. Michelsen, who went to San Diego yesterday to confer with Col. Ed Fletcher who has the bridge matter in charge. Mr. Michelsen returned to Los An geles today and if Los Angeles will make good or subscribe at least $5000 he will accept it Otherwise, Yuma Imperial and San Diego will put up the Los Angeles end of the money. The committee appointed by the Commercial Club last night to raise whatever sum may be needed con sists of John Gandolfo, Sr., chairman; E. F. Sanguinetti, J. M. Molina, A. Modesti and John Stoffela. The very largest amount Yuma may have to raise is $11,000, though it will proba bly be nearer $5,000. It is now definitely settled that Yu ma wlil get iiie bridge and it now re mains to finish the details, and the wires are being kept hot between the interested points with this end in view; also, another meeting of the Commercial Club will be held tonight at 8 o'clock.

Hendricks, of Bard, who is at present in Los Angeles, writes of his observations as follows: Los Angeles, Sept. 5, '13. Yuma Examiner, Yuma, Arizona. Dear Mr. Shorey: I am "up town" undergoing repairs, after a strenuous season of turkey raising, and. some way or other seem to run across, run over or collide with people interested in Yuma. While riding in a street car with a dairyman, from whom I had just bought a bunch of 'heifer calves, the other day, we became so absorbed in the topic of "Yuma" that the whole car of people were listening to us be fore we were aware of it, and the result was a lecture on Yuma on a Los Angeles street car, and the evi dent interest is surprising. But what I have to ask of you is an other matter. While in the Sunset exhibit room yesterday I met a man associated with one of the eastern magazines and who was in a very doubtful frame of mind regarding Yu ma, and among other things mention BIG SALE OF ARIZONA PINE AND OTHER MERCHANTABLE TIMBER WASHINGTON, D.

YUMA FROM LDS III FROM I OS ed was the gruesome effect the old penitentiary made on the tourist, hard ly any of them being aware of its present educational capacity. I was very glad to tell him that the ''eye-sore" was now a thing of the past, and he wants me to get him a few news items which you have run recently regarding the tearing down of the old prison walls vin order that he may have them reproduced to ap pear under the heading of "Topics of Interest," in the next issue of his mag azine. And will you do it? And send same to me here at 126 So. Fremont avenue. People still ask me if the siphon it completed, and if Yuma valley has any water yet. Nothing short of a perma nent Yuma exhibit at the Sunset ex- Jliibit room, which is visited by every tourist that comes to Los Angeles, showing to them Yuma as it is today, will ever convince them that Yuma is open and ready for settlement.
