THE PUBLIC DOHAhN
The public lands which are
adapted to agriculture are rap
idly being appropriated by indi
X'iduals. The unoccupied por
tions of the public domain com
prise the last cheap land which
is within the reach of the man of
moderate means. Very little
government land remains in the
western states, and the territo
ries are being populated with an
industrious, active and energetic
peopln. Westward from the
Mississippi and eastward from
the Pacific, the ever increasing
population of this great republic
is spreading out and covering
the arable lands that lie between.
The value of lands held in pri
vate ownership is rapidly in
creasing, and already is mani
fested by the immigrant and
homeseeker a deep anxiety to
secure a home while yet homes
are given by a generous govern
ment to actual settlers.
The phenomenal growth of
California and the fever of land
speculation which has for the
past few years pervaded all
classes of society m that won
derful state have caused the
price of ail kinds of real estate
to rise to such figures as prac
tically to prevent anyone from
obtaining land unless he is very
wealthy. Scarcely any kind of
agricultural land in a desirable
part of California can be had at
Jess than one hundred dollars
per acre, while live hundred and
even a thousand dollars per acre
is not an unusual price.
Southern Arizona offers to the
smmigrant-a home where a per
fect climate insures health and
comfort; where land is abundant
and cheap; where the soil is
rich, lasting and wonderfully
prolitic; where bounteous nature
renders the greatest return for
labor; where varied resources
aro. being rapidly" developed;
where excellent educational fa
cilities are ever at hand; where
railroads will brig to his door
the luxuries of life, and trans
port to market the products of
his -farm; where neither cyclone,
blizxard or w in try blast is known,
but the balmy, pure, dry and
life giving air restores and pre
serves health, imparting vigor
to brain and muscle; where
churches, schools, newspapers,
society, intelligence and refine
ment abide, and a rich territory
in developing into a great aud
prosperous statev
LAKE ROOSEVELT
After the completion of the
great Tonto dam now under con
struction near the Junction of
the Salt river and Tonto creek,
on the Tonto national forest, this
Sorest will be able to boast of
the-largest lake in Arizona.
By the impounding of the wa
ters of tho two streams, a lake
approximately 25 miles in length
and about 2- miles in width at tho
widest point will be formed.
This body of water will in all
probability be called Luke Koosc
5ult since the town which has
sprung up at the dam 'site is al
ready known by that name.
In order to- facilitate the ad
3uinistra.tK3n of tho Tonto Na
tiontt! forest, the government is
now figuring on the purchase of
small gasoline launch of ten
horse power engine capacity,
-which will be used in conveying
men, horses, supplies and Sre
fighUug material to different
points on the lake shore from
which the often recurring tires
in the near-by mountains can be
easiest attacked.
The launch itself cannot, of
eourse, carry horses nor heavy
and bulky loads, but will act as
a tug boat and tow cargoes of
this nature in a large, iiat-bot-touied
scow, or ferry-boat. The
United States reclamation ser
vice is now using a launch of
about the.same size aud capacity,
which has been found extremely
useful in connection with the
construction of this immense
dam.

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong mzn is strong all ever. No man can he
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach nad its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man ' doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, has nn uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, i3 languid, nervous, irritable and despond
eat, he is losing the nutrition iteeded to make strength.
Such a man should uso Dr. Pierce' 3 Golden Medical
SJJscoYcry. It cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition, it enriches the blood,
invigorates tho liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH TiND STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.

DATES. i
For years the agricultural do- i
partment has been experiment
ing with the cultivation of the
date palm, and they have
onstrated that this section is
peculiarly adapted by soil and
climatic conditions for Hs sue-.
cessful growth. The date palm j
is said to be one ot tue oiuesi w j made today by tne Spreckels in
well as one of the most useful j teresls in lh5s city lhat actu;ll
of all domesticated fruits. In its j work on the constrU(.tion 0f the
home in the far east its fruit j Saiv. Diego & Arizona railroad
forms a staple article of food, ; from gan Di(;g0 to Yuma, Arizo
and syrup, vinegar and brandy na wouia be begun nexth month,
are made from old dates. 1 ! The company has advertised for

There are said to be over a hun- J tll1fl lh. ,,nntl..,f. ., wnrrld. Tho'
dred different varieties, but the
species producing the best known
date of commerce is the kind
with which the agricultural de
partment has been experiment
ing and which has proven adapt
ed to this section. It is claimed
that one of the best varieties-is ,
known as tlie "Ucgiet iNoor, j
and that conditions in the Yuma
valley are found to be practically
identical with its native home in
Algiers. It is known that the
date will bear fruit for 2fj0 years
and that a tree will yield 25
pounds. This shows the won
derful possibilities of the date.
THE GREATEST DANGER.
According to Mr. Carnegie,
the very gravest of the dangers
that beset young, men who- aim
at success in business is the hab
it of indulgence in intoxicating
liquors. He says in his book,
'The Empire of Business":
"The tirst and most seductive
peril, and the destroyer of most
young men is the drinking of
liquor, I am no temperance lec
turer in disguise, but a man who
knows and tells you what his
observation has proved to him;
and I say to you that you are
more likely to fail in your career
from acquiring the habit of
drinking liquor than from any
or all of the other temptations
likely to assail you. You may
yield to almost any other temp
tation, and reform may brace
up, and if not recover lost
ground, at least remain in the
race and secure and maiutain a
respectable position. But from
the insane thirst for liquor, es
cape is almost impossible. I
have known but few exceptions
to this rule."
PENSIONS PAID
During tho OoUi congress 6,
507 special punsion acts were
passed. Since 1S65 there has
been paid in pensions the sum of'
$o,l5i,653,u(55 and the cost of
maintaining pension agencies
and administration of the pen-
jsion bureau has been $112,852,-
177. It is estimated that within
ten years the pension roll will
not carry over 75,000,000 or
$50,000,000 unless additional leg
islation should be enacted.

Announcement
;
San Diejjo Sun
Formal announcement was
to a point near Tia Jnana, Mux-
successful bidder' is expected to
begin work at once, probably by
the middle of May.
The part for which the con
tracts are to be let contains easy
grades probably as easy as any
I on the proposed line and certain
y not unywheru near so hard as
the mountain grades. The total
cost of the grading to be Mono
will therefore be a very small
part of the total cost of the road.
The total cost of grading the
fourteen miles will not be more
than 5.000 a mile, some real es
tate men believe.
The grading, however, is only
a part of the job. It is assumed
that the rails will be laid as soon
as the road-bed is ready.
"Whatever is to be done, there
is no doubt that the whole city
let out a whoop of pleasure this
morning.
Mexican Route.
That the San Diego & Arizona
Railroad Company has decided
on what is known as tho "Mexi
can route" is shown by the Sling
late yesterday afternoon of a
suit in condemnation against
nearly 1Q0 property owners be
tween National City and the
Mexican boundary line. This
suit is begun to secure the neces
sary right of way for the rail
road. This decision of the route
to be taken by the railroad is
considered as important a3 the
announcement of actual construc
tion work. Three distinct routes
have been surveyed by the com
pany, two of these through the
mountains in this county and the
third partly through Lower Cal
ifornia. Following so closely upon the
recent visit of H. Harrimanr
the railroad king, to San Diego,
when he was the guest of John
D. Spreckels, the announcement
today by the San Diego & Arizo
na Railroad Company is taken
as significant. It was strongly
rumored at the time of his visit
here that some announcement
concerning the construction of
the Yuma road, in which ho was
supposed to be interested, would
follow Mr. U am man's visit and
the rumors have proved to have
been well founded. Within the
last few days a well-developed
real estate boom has been mani
fested and it was given out that
a "railroad announcemenfcould
be expected at any time.
220 illlea Long.
By the Mexican route the San
Diego & Arizona will be about
220 miles in length. The grad
ing work now to be done will be
fourteen and three-teuths miles,
covering the distauco between
tho Hartupee tract on the water
front near the .foot of Twelfth
street to the international boun
dary line. Tho survey follows
the Tia Juana river valley into
Mexico in an easterly direction
to the Cottonwood creek. The!
road then turns to the southeast !
through San Ysidro ranch, pass-j
ing through VallcdeSan Ysidro. j
From there it runs outh for
some distance, then northeaster
ly to Tecarte, turning again to
the southeast and east until it
reaches the American boundary
line again through the Jacumba
valley. This is a distance of 05
j miles from Tia Juana. From
Jacumba the road-is-to pass
j through Carisso canyon. Nearly
half the railroad will be in Mex
ico, if this route is followed as
planned.
S. P. In Here.
When completed the San Diego
fc Arizona railroad will join this
city with Yuma, in that way
forming a transcontinental rail
road by connection with the
Southern Tacidc. This will make
San Diego the market place for
the products of the fertile Impe
rial valley, and San Diego will
be the seaport terminus of the
new road. It is expected that
this will proye of much benefit
to the city by opening a new
route to the east.
The necessary right of way
has been obtained in San Diego
as far as the city limits at Na
tional City at a cost of nearly
81,000,000, and a part of the right
of way through National Oily
has been obtained. About ami'e
of tho right of way in National
City was graded a year ago. The
company by its condemnation
suit will get a right of way vary
ing from 10u to 30.0 feet in
width through part of National
City, Chula Vista and the rest of
the distance to the.boundary line,
to provide space for the con
struction of warehouses, tanks,
storage sheds, round-house and
other structures.
PROUD OF CROPS
The - question is asked by
Chicagb newspaper, Why not be
proud of the. great crops that
are being raised on the farms of
this countrv'-' Certainly. It is
strange that one should ask such
a question.
In all the world th,ere is no
country where such great, varied
and valuable crops are produced
as on the American farms. Mar
kets are near every acre of this
land. Railroads absorb the sur
plus and transport it to the mar
ket centers of the country or the
world. And that which is left
behind will not be sold for a cent
less than what it could be sold
for farther away; or pnttmg'it
another way, nothing will be
shipped away for less than it
will bring at home. In othei
words, good prices prevail everv
where. The good crop means
an abundance of distributed new
wealth.
NOTICE.
The Rev. M. L. Stewart of
Phoenix, who for several years
was .the. superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of Missouri,

subjectT are requested to come
out and be with us. Remember,

FAST TIME.
A special train, which was
given the right of way over all
other trains, recently made the
distance between New York and
Englewood station.. Chicago, in
15 hours 56 minutes. Tho run
to Buffalo, -1-10 miles, was cover
ed in 899 minutes; from Buffalo
to Cleveland, -183 miles, in 168

' CROSSED THE DIVIDE.
Mr. F. W. Murphy passed away in
his upartmeuts on Main street at 8:30
o'clock Tuesday night, a victim of tho
remorseless "White Plague."
Mr. Murphy came to Yuma three
years ago from Quincy, III., and eng
tered tho employment of O. C. John
sou, as undertaker. He had long been
a sufferer from consumption.
He was a member of the Easlcs,
and that order took care of him dur

While the women of the Unit
ed States are being admonished
on every hand not to emulate
the example of the English suf
fragettes, an Ohio editor is sug
gesting that "What the women
should do is to forcibly release
every woman prisoner confined
in any place and take forcible
possession of every woman's in
stitution.' He says "Taxation
correction, every application of
law should be resisted forcibly,
and I wish the rebellion would
start in Ohio."
DEATH OF AGED PIONEER.
J. A. Valder, an aged citizen and
pioneer of Yuma county, died at the
home of E. W. McDauiel, at Dome,
on Monday morning. Deceased was
the father of Mrs. Thos. Ebcrhardt,
and Mr3. E. W. McDaniel. The re
mains were taken charge of by the
E. F. Sanguinetti undertaking estab
lishment and shipped to the crema
tory in Los Angeles.
FALSE REPORT.
The reported discontinuance of the
trains between Yuma and Laguna
Dam is absolutely untrue.
The trains continue to make the
trips daily on the regular scheduled
time. The only change is that con
nection will be made with, the Calex
ico" branch and that the train from
the line city will continue into Yuma
over the dam route, on tho regular
time of the latter.
