SFNTTNFL AND YUMA WEEKLY EXAMINER VOLUME XLIV. NUMBER 19. YUMA, ARIZONA, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1914. ARIZONA SENTINEL POUNDED 1872 Arizona (From Tuesday's Examiner) According to a letter received last night from O'neil Secretary of tlie White Sox ball team, they expect to enjoy to the full their stop here. Plans are now being made by the team to make connections at Imperial so that they can arrive in Yuma on the noon train and have plenty of time for the game which will no doubt, be a very interesting one. The Yuma Elks are to be congratulated upon the fact that this is the only engagement made by the White Sock team in Arizona. An entertainment of some kind will be given them by the Elks. The na ture of the affair has not yet been decided upon but a dance at Elks' Club is planned. This will be a fea ture of much enjoyment as every one is interested. ,It is expected by the managers of the Elks' team that all stores will be closed for two hours or more so that all employees may take advantage of teh opportunity of see ing this once-champion team meet the Yuma Elks' team in what promises to be an interesting game. As stated in their letter, the White Sox are anticipating with pleasure their stay here, howevere short it may be. They do not leave until 1:30 in the morning, and hope to have an op portunity of looking over the country (From Monday's Examiner) The Yuma Woman's Club held its regular weekly meeting Saturday after noon at the home of Mrs. Sumner Hackett. The lesson was a coninua tion of Mederlink's "Blue Bird;" Roll call, "About People," provided a large field for discussion. Among the people discussed were Helen Kel ler and Evelyn Thaw women of types as widely different as . heaven and earth, yet both at this time very prominent in the eye of the public.

It was argued that the official report quoted therein did not disprove neces sarily the previous reports of fighting in Torreon, or even that Villa actual ly did have possesion of Gomez Palacio last night. The report might mean, it was conjectured, that the federals as a part of the general bat tle, might have returned to Gomez Palacio and renewed the fight while other forces were engaged in Torreon, three miles away. If space permitted, one could write enough about the interesting event to make the Yuma Examiner look like a "pink section," which, of course, is not our intention. Their tour is an extended one and includes some very interesting engagements. They are playing Riverside today, having just finished a week's series of games with Vernon. One of their best pitchers, Chappell, for whom they paid 16,000, is at pres ent suffering from an ailing foot, and will be unable to take part. Joy to the Elks, however sympathetic they may feel over this disabled member. The White Sox line-up is as follows: Qhase, 1st; Alcock, ss.; Berger, 2na; Lord, 3d; Bodie, Cavanaugh and Col lins, outfielders; Jasper, Walsh, John son, Faber, Russell Ciccoth and Lath rop, pitchers; Schalk and Slight, catch ers, with Manager O'Callahan, who must be be forgotten. -"Red" Kuhn, one of the pitchers, is wel known to a great many Yumaites. having pitch ed in the Holtville team for several years, and has many old friends here who will be glad to greet him. The Elks who will probably play in this contest are: Parks,. Caudry, Mad dox, Hartman, Yoakim, Joyce, Har mon, Marquard, Cassfdy, Dunne, God frey, Pierce, Morales and Sawyer. guests followed their hostess to the ( large dining hall, where refreshments ,were served thoroughly in accord with the observations of orange day. Or ange frappe in orange cases, nestling in a bed of orange leaves and flowers, were refreshing to the sight as well as to the palate. The club is pleased to have with them the following new members: Mrs. Harry Johnson, Mrs. Grothaus, Mrs. Spittler, Mrs. G. Michelsen and Mrs. Dickerson. Visitors at Saturday meeting, Miss Hayes. I HIGHWAY tion as scon as a little team work of grading the approach to the mesa is completed. Those interested and the workers this morning are to be congratulated upon the result, which is in every way perfect. New York City spent one million and a quarter- of dollars removing snow from its sidewaks last winter This is an argument in favor of Yuma sunshine and roses. S. CUNNINGHAM IS STESS IT 818 FEED' (From Monday's Examiner) Mrs. S. D. Cunningham was hostess iit a very charging affair at her very beautiful home in the upper valley on Sunday afternoon. The occasion was a turkey dinner given for the Young Men's Club and their friends. An un usually pleasant afternoon was spent by the young folks dancing, singing and in social chatter. The dinner itself was a feast for the gods. Mrs. Cunningham is a sure enough "cook" whose efforts have be come the highest in the word in culi nary art, among society folk and in lodge circles. Sunday's dinner was un surpassed in savory excellence by any ever tasted, and was fully enjoyed by the merry jillificators. As hostess of the occasion ,much credit is due Mrs. Cunningham for the general festivity which characterized the occasion, and due appreciation of the affair was certainly tendered her by the club and its friends as Christ-' mas, which comes but once a year, had nothing on the turkey dinner for elabo rateness and plentiful generosity. Among those present were Josephine Arnett, Eleanor Dunne, Emma Harris, Pearl Sawyers, Mona Fritz Lucretia Shelby, Hortense McPhaul, Mabel Caw ley, Irene Cawley, George Peterson, Jack Dunne, Arnold Bertlesen, Waltei Barnes, Lincoln DeMund, Tom Glenn,' Billy Dunne, Frank Dunne, Bud Don kersley, Leo Lee, Earl Cunningham, Roy Cunningham, Wm. Sheldon. I UTLER IIIES 0. S. I S. CAMP 10 LACUNA (From Monday's Examiner) j Camp No. 6, under Butler of the U.S.R.S., which has been stationed in the lower valley, moved Saturday night. Sunday was spent camped on First street near headquarters, and this morning the "mouch" was resum-f ed. Nearly two dozen wagonloads ot'l accouterments made up the caravan, and the No. 6 mules and men attached conveyed, in part, an idea of the mag nanimity of the reclamation under taking. Interested spectators, armed with kodaks, took likenesses of the specta cle which after a fashion did look 'wild and wooly." The camp will now be employed at and near Laguna dam, which is at present the center of reclamation ser vice industry. Mr. Butler's camp has previously been stationed precariously proximi tious to the Mexican line, and all con cerned looked very much relieved this morning, as though they appreciated the fact that hereafter the Colorado river would be between them and pre- r vailing Mexico. In the city of Tokio, Japan, forty daily newspapers are printed, so a trade journal informs, while in all Japan there are about 800 dailies. One of these has a circulation of 100,000 copies. TUCSON, Mar., 25. Eugene W. Chafin, of this city, who will run for United States senator from Arizona this fall, will make the race on the independent ticket. The prohibition party did not poll enough votes in the last election to get a place on the ticket. As a result, Chafin will not have to run in the primary, but will get on the ballot by nominating petition.

IE BAPTIST CHURCH IS HNEH PULPIT (From Tuesday's Examiner) Last Sunday morning when the con gregation at the Valley Baptist church met the pastor, A. B. Tomlinson they found him standing behind a beauti ful new pulpit, the very- nicest one we have seen in Yuma County, which was made by one of Yuma's best car penters, Mr. Geo. Hill, who donated the work, the pastor furnishing the material. The church and congregation gave a standing vote of thanks to Brother Hill for his very liberal donation. Their trip to the Colorado River lands of the Andrade Estate was made by automobile and proved an intensely interesting one and wholly satisfac tory in every detail. Mr. Campbell and the balance of his party were all astonished and delight ed to see the great improvements around Yuma and believe there is no question but what our land has' a fu ture superior to anything in America for agriculture and fruit raising. The richness of the water of the Colorado river is one of the most im rortant features of this country. Mr. Campbell recalls that during the early days of 1880 when Arizona was a bar ren desert, the predictions of the old time miners, of whom he was a mem ber was to the effect that Arizona would be come one of the most pro ductive territories of the United States, and the improvements in and around Yuma only verifies these statements made in the pioneer days. teeman, Joseph H. Kibbey, former ter ritorial governor. Kibbey may be a fusion candidate. If he is not Dwignt B.

Chafin is just home from a 75-speech campaign from Imperial, Gal., to San Francisco. He arrived in time to at tend the birthday party of his pretty daughter.
