In I.os Angeles Times. It is. very far frni a enil-millenium since hrec Utile open boat s under the Has: of Spain j flrst touched the waters of the western lieml- ; Miprp jtnd revealt.(, ,he ne, worId to the a,ul ,tiSS than a generation since the settlc- nientof the Great Southwest began. I I all th" 125 years since the Republic was founded, also in the half century since Cali- : r.-iilr !w.rvitw. run. .if t'i, St:ltcs of t!lf Tlllinn and durinc: every year of the last thirty, a re alisation oj the vast ricWs or the American continent, of the territory of the United Slates and of Mils Great Southwest his been more and more astonishing to the minds of men. One would suppose that by today we know pretty thoroughly what, the undevelop ed resources of lhe Great Southwest miffht iv-Kirinnlil v !k fi.vDi'C.ted to become. We have ,!oi rc"1'1'1-'11 tlle depths of this great ocean of wealth ith our plummet line yet. I In a residence of forty years on the Coast tue writer thought he IiPfw a little about what there is on the Coast, and as most of these years have been spent in and around Los Angeles, he naturally had a little con ceit that he was pretty well acQualntcd with the Great. .Southwest- Last week a trip to the Colorado River bottoms, oelow Yuma made h:m feel as a tenderfoot who had come In on the iasi train. New to him, this wonderful region and lis possibilities are pretty well known to a great many readers of The Times by the sanies published, if not by the demon stration of their own eyes. Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles from where the government is putting In the great Lnuna dam, at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers. It Is twelve miles from Yuma down the river to the Mexican bnundry line on the Arizona side of the river . At one point. Just, below Yuma, the interna tional boundry lino runs up along the river which there takes a westerly trend and from Ynma to 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 frcduent and came down in torrential volumes all along these mountain ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages was a mighty stream, sweeping down debris in tons every second of Its How. The Colora dosink was at that time a great inland sea, which spread over the country on both sides of where t he river now runs. As the erosion of winds and storms, 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, Hincs and disintegrated granites, as well as the vegetation along Us banks; and this was all deposited in what are now the sinks of the Colura "'j. As the mountain tops were worn down, the rains became less frequent and 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 m.le wine and being at the piesent ;.ir..e about twenty feet deep la the. deepest portion. It Is not necessary to remind Californians that the Spanish missionaries and explorers called this river lhe Colorado because of the reddish color of its waters. It is the Colorado up in the Grand 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. It actually looks today as If ten per cent of Us How was silt and only ninety per cent water. RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL But the object of this storj' is to cajl atten tion iicc more, ami for perhaps the thou sand iii time, to the riches of the soil along the (V.orado on both sides, incident to the dcposilidg of this mass of debris during: all the past ages. Going through the country on the Arizona side of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one encounters the same type of country and mill that is found in the Imperial Valley country around Braw'ey, Calexico and other points wost of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illi nois has a-NVnushed people engaged In agri culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys of the Nile has been a mat ter of history for at least 6000 years. Those who are familinr with Illinois prairie soli, and those who know what the valley of the Nile Is for agriculture, khow that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both of them. Ifyouaska farmer along this stretch of countri' If the soil Is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishment al your ignorance. He will tell i'ou no one knows whether it- is to feet, COO orii.OOO feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re sponds to culilvatlou in a way that Is mar velous. CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY. Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart of tiiis big valley, which Is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots ten to twelve miles wide, down on the lower level. The results are wouderful. Last week they were catting a crop of alfalla on this ex perimental farm, and for seven consecutive months they will cut succeeding crops. The orl months when the crop is not cut here arc December and January. Cotton and tobacco grow wi 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 vegc'ablcs, which one hesitates to call early or late, as they will be perennial. New potatoes will be produced ! in the middle of January, tomatoes will be j ripe by the llrst of March, ripe grapes will be ; gathered in the early days of May, and apri-1 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 aad comes j a"ly three or four times in a whole winter. 1 W ith an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- i ible tlie dry aad not overheated climate i prevailing in the wiatcr months, chickens arc j free from the disease that make their raising ' difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South-J ra Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro- I daction of corn as this valley along the Colora- j do R:er. With alfalfa and corn, th'j butter,! cheese, eggs, poultry and pork to be miscd on a twenty-acre farm will amaze thoe who have the experience In American agricultural affairs The winter climatf around Yum' is a thing! , so intoricatingly salubrious lhat no words can i describe ? Those deserts oi America, as wo! luv. c i-ejra' tied them heretofore, seem to defy .the ills ti-xt human nature elsewhere is so pr .itie to contract aad suffer from. The atmos ! phere is as dry jis purk, the sides cloudlessly clear, the air mild as possible, and every ' breath secins to be an inspiration of new life. The United States has an experiment farm 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 arc littlo 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. Yuma is a busy, up-to-date town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings, a three-story post oiHcc building, also of brick, and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, are. a $35,000 school building, a 275,COO ice plant, a line club-house for the railroad employes, a larger passeuger depot, and the probability of a new court house to cost 575.0C0. There is con siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili ties 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 25JXK? tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo lado River. Yuma needs only to make known its c:imatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by blizz.rds and snowstorms to attract a city full every winter. I he fertility ot the val ley below will almost make itsclt 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 burter, Yuma should be one of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthful and declicious food, and if the air in that region docs 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 1000, and in ten .cars from today the attractions of Yuina as a health resort and the fertility of thfse bottom lauds will be so well known that it will require $1,000 in cash to buy a single acre of it. jj ' California farm Leans j Are a permanent investment in I ji which the investor sectres the t highest interest in return compatible with absolute security.
