What tSie North Po!e Is
The mystery of the North Pole
has made it -a favorite theme for
romancists, who have pictured it
an ice-bonnd Eden, the home of
earth's most ancient remnants of
civilisation, a monstrous mael
strom, a great opening into the
interior around whose curving
sides even ships might sail, the
point at which all the winds of
earth originate, a great, bleak,
wind-swept rock, untrod and for
bidding, a giant peak extending
its ice cap miles into the frosty
air and other ideas fantastic
and unreal and clad in the mys
ticism of the unknown.
And yet, except for its very
exclusiveness, there can be no
mystery about it.
The only question that could
have been solved by its discov
ery is whether or not the imag
inary point upon the earth's sur
face is in an open sea or on a
moveable ice floe.
Dr. Cook reports that the pole
is located on a vast, bleak, deso
late waste of ice, with no ground,
only dazzling snow fields.
The bones of many iotrepiO
explorers have been leffc io
"bleach upon the intermediate
wastes, and untold treasure has
been expended and untold suffer
ings endured in the efforts to
wrest from Nature one of her
last and most jealously guarded
secrets.
The North Pole is merely an
imagined pointr as the equatoris
an imagined Ikte.
It is ttao point where all the
meridians converge and where
the parallels play out as a string
unwinds from the tip of a top.
Latitude hs &0 and longitude is
0.
There is but one direction and
that is- south, south on every
side.
North is straight up toward the
aenith, and there is no east and
no west.
The sun, when it can be seen
at .all, makes perfect e;ircaits of
the horraohi, and the completion
of a day is marked by the retnrn
of the sun- to any fixed point.
On the equator a person trav
eling on the rim of the whirling
ball, moyes through space at the
rate of 24,000 miles a day, while
a person at the pole travels only
.with the earth as it moves along
its orbit, and both would be
blisfully unconscious of it all.

Don't Want Two Precincts
The petition signed by 25 tax
payers presented to the board of
supervisors on Wednesday last,
pi'aying-f or the establishing of a
separate justice precinct, and
which, resulted in the creation of
district No. 14 b'eing all of that
territory lying beyond the cor
porate limits of the town in
district No. 1 was counterbal
anced Saturday by a petition
presented to the board signed
by 5-4 of the 150 tax-payers of
the valley, begging the board to
jecotisiderits action and do away
with: the new precinct. The pe
isitioo avers th-at the majority of
dwellers, and voters in the new
siistriei were not consulted in
the former petition and that it is
"highly unsatisfactory to them.
The protesting petition was cir
culated by Rev. W. L. William

Rich Strike Reported
No little interest is being ta
ken here in the recent strike in
the Castle Dome range, twenty
miles northwest of Castle Dome
and about ten miles west of
Horse Tanks. The first discov
eries in the region were made
ten days ago by two prospectors
named Tweed and Wheeler. Ben
Heyl of this place has a miner
named Drennan on- the ground
who has located several claims.
Harry McPhanl outfitted and
left Yuma late in the week for
the scewe of the strike. McPhaul
will go in by way of the Castle
Dome- Landing,, the spot where
the oxe was found being about
ten miles from the Colorado
river.' The ledge, it is claimed,
can be traced two miles, is free
milling gold, and averages about
15 per ton.. As well as going
in by the route described, pros
pectors have crossed the country
from the North Star. A rush to
the new field is predicted, there
being an abundance of water as
a consequence of the heavy sum
mer rains.
More School Room
At a meeting of the board of
trustees of the Union High
School held Friday morning last
in the office of the clerk, F. L.
Injrraham, it was decided to rent
two rooms which are available
in the old parochial school build1
ing on South Main street oppo
site the Catholic church, to be
utilized us a laboratory and class
room for the high schobL The
rooms have been pat in a state
of repair, the principal, H:. N.
Greenwood, and the cferk of the
board being empowered to order
the necessary plumbing done.
The laboratory supplies and fit
tings have been installed and the
rooms are now ready for occu
pancy. The high school attendance,
which started at 40 is gyeatly
increased and the various classes
are now well-organized. Two
rooms in the Main street build
ing are in use in addition to the
quarters in the parochial build
ing. English as She is Spoke.
The teacher of "conversation
al French" in a certain eastern
college was a lively mademoi
selle "just over."
One bright afternoon she
stopped two girls very excitedly.
She wanted to buy an "eponge
pour la bain," but did not know
what to ask for.
"Bath sponge. Tell the sales
man you want a big bath sponge
to take home with you, ""said the
girls in a chorus, and they ac
companied her to the village
drug store.
A young clerk stepped for
ward. Mademoiselle advanced
bravely.
"Please," she said, smilingly,
"will you kindly take me home
and give me a big sponge bath?"

Held ior Burglary,
Joseph Stearns, arrested for
burglary, had his examination
before Judge Jones Friday morn
ing and was held on two counts
and bond fixed at 500 for each
offense charged. Stearns is the
man who entered the rooms of
the Mexican consul, Sen or En
rique Coraacho,. on Tuesday
night of last week and took
therefrom jewelry, toilet articles
and wearing apparel to the value
of between $1(X and $200. He is
also charged with burglarizing a
room in the Modesti House prior
to his entering the consul's
apartments.
Drop in and sec your friends

The Tenderfoot Farmer
experimental farmers, who put green
spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory
was that it didn't matter what the cow ate so long as she
was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had
not entered into his calculations.
It's only a "tenderfoot" farmer that would try such
on experiment with a cow. But mnnv a farmer ffprfs him.
There will be a meeting of
Yuma Volunteer fire department
next Monday evening, October 4 T
for the purpose of electing a
secretary, and for the transaction
of such other business as may
properly come before the meet
ing. A full attendance is re
quested. J. BRICE

The old Gandolfo home on
Madison avenue between First
and Second streets, one of the
landmarks of Yuma, having been
built thirty or more years ago,
yielded to the wear and tear of
the elements last Thursday
morning and caved in. The
Gandolfo family occupied the
old place for many years; but
except a room or two in the rear
it had been untenanted in recent
times.
The Levy house, two blocks
farther south on the same street,
which was practically wrecked
by the severe rainstorm of last
month, is being torn down, part
of the material' being used in the
construction of a new house at
Second avenue and Tenth street.
This latter is even older than
the Gandolfo home, having been
built in the 70s. The demoli
tion of the two relics of the, old
town at the same-time makes one
realize more fully how the old
order of things is changing.
Disastrous Wreck
A railroad wreck resulting in
the loss of life and property and
tying up traffic for sixteen hours
occurred? on the-S. P. line Sun
day morning at S o'clock at a
point six miies west of Yuma.
Freight train No. 243-, west
bound, a double-header made up
of 70 cars, met freight No. 244,
east boond, consisting of one
engine and thirty cars, a quarter
of a mile west of Avaz, the first
station cat from this point. No.
244 had received; orders to meet
2J3f but this train had no orders.
When the e&groeers and firemen
saw that a collision was unavoid
able they set the emergency
brakes anti jumped for their
lives; Nocse- of either crew was
injured!..
Three of severs tramps in a re
frigerator car lost their lives,
two being killed; instantly.
One of the killed was a Mexi
can, Juan Ramirez. The other
was an American, J. D. McDev
itt of Gold field, Nevada, who
was apparently about 25 years
of age and far gone with con
sumption.. The three fine engines of the
colliding trains are totally ruin
ed, the damage being placed at
not less than $10,000. The total
loss by the wreck will probably
exceed $50,000.
The blame for the wreck is
fixed upon P. P. Jones, night
operator here, who-acknowledged
his responsibility in failing to
deliver train orders to 243:. .
Four of Ringling Brothers'"
circus trains, eng route to Phoe
nix,, were side-tracked along the
line west of the wreckr but got
through at 11 o'clock Sunday
night and reached the capital in
time to give their scheduled per
formances. Charles and Frank Glenn of
Viniti, Oklahoma, have arrived
in Yuma and are looking over
the ground with a view of mak
ing this their permanent, home.
They are relatives of Mrs. Robt.
