Saiu brio s
BY GKORCiK'N. BURTON,
In Los AiiRelcs Tlme.!.
It Is very fur from n seml-Tnlllenium since
throe little open boats under tlie tlas: of Spain
first touched the wnlers of the weern hemi
sphere and revpulcd the new world to the
eyes of Europeans. Jt is only a little over
century since the United States of America
sprang, so to speak, like Pallas Athene from
the brain of Jove, tv completely armed ad
(lit ion to the family of nations. It is but
little '-ver half a century since California be
came a partof these United Statesof America
and less than a generation since the settle
ment of the Great South vest began.
In all the 125 years since the Republic was
founded, also in the half century since Call
fornia became one of the States of the Union.
and during' every year of the last thirty,
alizaiion of the vast riches of the American
continent, of the territory of the United
States and of this Great Southwest Ir.is been
more and more astonishing to the minds of
men. One would suppose that by today we
knew pretty thoroughly what the undevelop
ed resources of the Great Southwest might
reasonably be expected to become. We have
not reached the depthsof this great ocean of
wealth with our plummet line yet.
In a residence of forty years on the Coast
the writer thought he knew a little about
what there Is on the Coast, and as most of
thcse.years have been spent in and around
Los Angeles, he naturally had a little con
ceit that he was pretty well acquainted with
the Great South west. Last week a trip-4a.the
Colorado River bottoms, below Yuma made
him feel as a tenderfoot who had come in on
the last train. New to him, thin wonderful
region and its possibilities are pretty well
Known to a great, many readers or The Times
by the stories published, if not by the demon
stration of their own eyes.
Yumalieson the map Just twelve miles
from where the government is putting in the
great Laguna dam, at the confluence of the
Gila and Colorado Rivers. It is twelve miles
from Yuma down the river to the Mexican
boundry line on the Ari.ona side of the river
At one point. Just below Yuma, the interna
tional boundry line runs up along the river
which there takes a westerly trend and from
Yumaio Mexico is only a few miles.
ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.
Ages ago when the mountain ranges of
Arizona and California towered toward the
stars, at least twice as high as they do now,
rains were very freduent and came down In
torrential volumes all along these mountain
ridgy. The Colorado River In these past ages
was u mighty stieam, sweeping down debris
in tons every second of its llow. The Colora
do sink was at that time a great inland sesi,
which snread over the country on both sides
of where the river now runs. As the erosion
of winds and storrns, landslides and glaciers
wore down the mountain ridges year by year,
the great river carried down a vast amount
of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos
phates, limes and disintegrated granites, sis
well sis the vegetation silong Jtsbanks; and
this was sill deposited in what sire now the
sinks of the Colorado.
As the mountain tops were worn down, the
rains becsune les frequent suid less in volume
but the erosion of rocks and river banks, the
trees and vegetable mould torn from the
banks still came down and settled into the
bottom of the great inland lake. This geogical
process went on from age to age to our time,
leaving the Colorado at Yuma a stream about
half a mile wide -smd lc!ng at the present
time about twenty feet deep la the deepest
portion.
It is not. necessary to remind Californians
that the Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because of the
reddish color of Its waters. It is the Colorado
up in the Grsind Canyon in Arizona and
down past The Needles. But at this time of
the year, after passing the mouth of the Gila,
Instead of the red river it becomes the brown
river. Jt actimlly looks today sis if ten per
cent of its llow was silt and only ninety per
cent wsitcr.
RICHES OV SOIL WONDERFUL
But the object of this story is to call atten
tion once more, and for perhaps the thou
sandth time, to the riches of the soil along
the Colorado on both sides, Incident to the
depositldgof this mass of debris during all
the past, siges. Going througli, the country
on the Arizona side of the river, for several
miles below Yuma, one encounters the same
type of country and soil that is found in the
Imperial Valley country around Braw'ey,
Calexico and other points w'st of the river
The fertility oft he black prairie soils of Illi
nois has astonished people engaged in agri
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility of the valleys of the Nile has been si
nniltcr or history for at least fi(XX) years. Those
who are familinr with Illinois prairie soil,
and those who know what the valley of the
Nile is for agriculture, khow that this lower
Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
dfyouaska fanner along this stretch of
country if the soil is six feet, his ej-es will
open with astonishment al your Ignorance.
He will tell you no one knows whether it is
00 feet, 000 or ti.(KX) feet deep. It is practically
without bottom. It is so thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite smd
other rocks that it never breaks. It is as
esisily worked as si heal) of sishes, and re
sponds to cuiiiviition in si wsiy tnat is mar
velous. CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.
Arizonsi has established an experiment
stsition in the heart of this big valley, whieli
is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots
ten to twelve miles wide, down on the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting a crop ofalfsilia on this ex
perimental farm, and tor seven consecutive
months they will cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop is not cut here arc
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be
noted In a very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hog raising,
the production of poultry and vegetables, which
one hesitates to call early or lata, as tfaey will
be perennial. New potatoes will be produced
in the middle of Jsiuuary, tomatoes will be
ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be
gathered in the early dav of May, smd apri
cots by the middle of the .same month. Chic
kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
only three or four times in a whole winter.
With an abundance of green alfsilfa and veget
ables, the dry and uot overheated climate
prevailing in the winter months, chickens are
free from the disease that make their raising
difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South
ern Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro
duction of corn sis this valley along the Colora
do River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter,
cheese, eggs, poultry and pork to be raised on a
twenty-acre farm will amaze those who have
the experience In American agricultural affairs
The winter climate around Yuma Is a thing
so Inloxicatingly salubrious lhat no words csin
uescrioe it. xnose aeserts oi America, as we
have regarded them heretofore, seem to defy
the ills lhat human nature elsewhere is so
prone to contract and suffer from. The atmos
phere Is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlessly
ciear, me air mim as possible, and every
breath seems to be an Inspiration of new life.
xiie uimu amies n;is an experiment I arm on
the mesa Just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
ults even more marvelous than in the valley
are produced. Down on the lower levels there
are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of frost never touches the most del
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
i uuju is a ousy. up-to-uate town. Tne more
modern Improvements consist or several blocks
of attractive brick buildings, a three-story post
office building, also of brick, and many other
nice structure. Among some of the greater
Improvements which sire being made, are
$35,000 school building, a .$75,000 Ice plant,
fine club-house for the railroad employes,
larger passeuger depot, smd the probability of
a new court house to cost 875,000. There is con
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast possibill
tics of the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation. If atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters
and one could send consignments of this Yuma
winter air to the East, the Inspiration of its
health-giving qualities would bring 25.000
tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo
rado River.
Yuma needs only to make known its climatic
attractions in the parts of the Ea-st swept every
year by blizzards and snowstorms to attract a
city rull every winter. The fertility of the val
ley below will almost make Itself known with
out effort on the part of the people. But with a
valley full of Intelligent and Industrious rural
population, producing fruits and vegetables,
poultry, eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be one of the most delightful
winter resorts in all America. There is every
thing there to furnish touristy; wltht the most
healthfnl and decliclous food, and If the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
living elsewhere. It will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed In 1909,
and Sr. ten years from today the attractions of
Yuma as a health resort and the fertility of
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require Sl,000 in cash to buy a single
acre of it.

Aged Pioneer Dead.
Chas. O. Brown, Who Came to
this Country Before Arizona
Was Organized, Passes Away.
A resident of this section for
I sixty-two years, Charles O.
Brown passed away in Tucson
last evening at his residence No.
38 West Broadway. He was prob
ably the best known of theNearly
pioneers and enjoyed the distinc
tion among the Americans of
having lived longest in this coun
try. His death was due to an
abscess of the brain.
Funeral services will be held
over the remains at 3 o'clock to
morrow afternoon from the resi
dence. ,
It was in 1846 that Mr. Brown
came to Arizona. At that time
Arizona and New Mexico were a
patt of Mexico, the Gadsden
treaty not having been negotia
ted. Although but a stripling,
he had already seen much of
frontier life, having left his home
in Whitehall, 111., to which the
family had moved from New
York when a boy of 32.
He was in the employ of the
Mexican government ana was
sent to Fort Yuma in 18-16 in
company with Capt. Glantou. At
that early time there was a con
siderable settlement at Yuma,
and tne town possessed an or
ganized force of defenders and a
stockade. Shortly after arriv
ing, Mr. Brown, with Clan ton,
established the first ferry across
the river. Travel along the
southern trail into California was
rushing in 1849-50, and the ferry
men prospered greatly. In 1850
there were rumors of an Indian
uprising. Mr. Brown heeded
the warning and obtained per
mission to go to San Diego. A
short time after he left the Yu
mas and Cocopalis murdered
every white man in the settle
ment save one, who chanced to
be down the river. Of the funds
accumulated, Mr. Brown took
with him a large amount in sh
ver, but a jar containing $30,000
in gold was buried along the
river bank &nd is supposed not
to have been recovered to . this
day. Citizen.
