', v .'' E The following letter from an old timer, who was in Yuma thirty-five years ago, reached L. W. Alexander, secretary of the Yuma County Com mercial Club: Tiburon, Marin Co., Calif. L. W. Alexander, Esq., Secretary Commercial Club, Yuma, Arizona. Dear Sir I note the ad regarding Yuma coun ty, in the Sunset magazine for Febru ary, 1913, and would be very much pleased if you would kindly send me such literature as you may have for public distribution. It Is about thirty-five years ago when Yuma was the end of railroad transportation, that, with some others I reached Yuma one sunny morning bought a team, outfitted and started on the merry way to Mexico, via Tuc son. Some yeas sco. a booklet entitled Yuma Countv" fell into my hands, and I was impressed with the progress Yuma had made especially in the way of growing oranges, dates, etc. And I am satisfied that we would all have been better off if we had faved in Yuma when we were there; but, of course, in those youthful dayr you could not have paid us to remain in Yuma, or anywhere else, for that matter, for the "wanderlust" possess ed us. Recently, some friends from the East were here and, upon my being questioned as to advantageous points for settlement, I asked: "Have you ever considered Yuma?" "The last place on the map we would want to consider," they replied. "We saw it in passing through, the other day." "No, you didn't," I said, "you passed through it like many others, and that is all they know about it I know about the soldier and his blankets, and I know it gets rather warm there in the good, old summer time, but you are not obliged to stay there, and a trip to San Diego during the extreme hot weather is not such a serious problem at the present time. I have a. little booklet there will tell you what is quietly going on down there." And right there is where my trou ble commenced. I am satisfied that the booklet is still in the house and safely put away, but it is so safely put away that it is impossible for me to put my hands on it. I do not re member how I obtained the booklet in the first place, but when your ad met mv eye, I concluded to ask you if you could furnish me with another copy, and any other literature on the same subject which you may have. It ma not result in any practical benefit to Yuma county and yet it might be the means of calling the attention of the right party to the right place. At all events, I should highly appreciate the favor and, perhaps, given a few years longer, I may have the pleasure of dropping in on you some winter's morning and thanking you in person. Sincerely yours, E. JUNGERMAN. P. O. Box 53.' MASSACRE OF GOLjAD Col. James W. Fannin, a native of "Georgia, removed to Texas in 1834, and when the Texas war of independ ence broke out he raised a company, known as the Brazos volunteers, which formed part of General Austin's army. After the fall of the Alamo, on March R 1S3R. he received orders from Gen "1 txp,, F--.-. 'n fciow Up the fort at "fd pnd fall back to Victoria. Fannin delayed his retreat for some time in order to collect the women and children of the neighborhood, and, finally, setting out 300 strong. wps overtaken and attacked on March 1? on the banks of Coleto creek, by General TJrrea and 1200 Mexican troops. Fannin made a desperate de fense and fought the Mexicans off un til nightfall. The battle was renewed the next day, and after the Mexicans had lost between 300 and 400 in kill ed and wounded, and the Texans about 70. Fannin surrendered on the con dition that his troops would be parol ed. Instead of being freed, they were taken back to Goliad, where, on Marc 27, in accordance with orders from Santa Anna, and in the absence of General TJrrea, the Texans were all shot down in cold blood, with the ex ception o fthe women and children, two surgeons and a few men who es caped after being fired upon. MQRGAfU'S WEALTH IS $250100,080 NEW YORK, April 7. The Wall Street Journal estimates the person al estate of J. P. Morgan at $250,000, 000. His supremacy in finance, it is explained, was not due to his own great wealth, but to the enormous value of the banks, trust companies and other corporations controlled by the house of Morgan. Morgan spent tremendous sums on art treasures, charities and educational Institutions. COTTON WILL BOOM LAND VALUES With good prospects for a large cot ton gin within a year and the larger acreage that will be planted to cot ton receding it, the prospects for substantial rise in Yuma land values are good. Said Mr. M. Z. Bates, who recently visited Yuma from Texas arrange for the building of a gin. speaking of the Yuma valley: "Without exasperation, it is the most beautiful valley I ever saw, and its possibilities seem boundless. "Taking all conditions into consid eration, I see no reason why the land values in the valley should not ma terially increase. I do not mean from the speculative standpoint, but on pro ductive value of the soil. I look for the Egyptian cotton crop and sugar cane to become two of the staple crops bringing big and ready profits to real farmers. "In many respects, this is another Southern California. I do not see how the valley is to escape much the same experience "as that country has eng joyed. The big need is real farmers a cessation of the knocking and a realization of the value of getting to gether." Expressions like that from a man who knows, ought to open the eyes of those who are yet unconscious of Yu ma's great possibilities. SECRETS OF THE HI SEASON ARE TOLD The fascinating secrets of the new 'and budding season are out. Page after page in the newspapers everwhere is given over to the new spring styles. None is gorgotten; tn whole family is remembered. Women find profound satisfaction in poring over the descriptions of the new dresses, waists, wraps, and all else that relates to personal envelopment and adornment. Man follows less animatedly, but with a strong inclination to be influenc ed, for he, too, seeks to wander forth to or from business also wearing "glad clothes." The children, gambolling lamblike everywhere, must also be remembered. So you see everybody is interested in the advertising columns. EXAMINER readers find much eng tertainment and profit in the adver tisements that appear in its columns. No wise merchant need be told of the value of persistent and systematic appeal. WOMAN'S CLUB HAS ORDERED SIGNS FOR MARKING STREETS ' At the Woman's Club meeting on Saturday it was stated that the signs for marking the names of the streets of Yuma had been ordered and the city had agreed to put them in place. The Club had raised $75.)0 at an entertain ment to buy the signs. The Club will meet again on April 12, with Mrs. Hitchcock. FOR THE FUTURE its own it is reaping that measure of happiness and prosperity so richly deserved by its energetic and progres sive people, and which has made fur ther prosperity possible for all who are wise enough to cast their lot with themost thoroughly wide-awake peo ple that can- be found on the whole American continent.

TURNED LOOSE ON THE TO AT THEIR WILL BAND OF ELK, IMPORTED FROM WYOMING, WILL BE AFFORD ED PROTECTION PRESCOTT, April 7. After being corraled and fed for the past month, the eighty-five head of elk brought to Arizona from "Wyoming and unloaded at Winslow in February, were turned loose on Chevelon creek last Monday, roam at will and subsist on the open range. But one died after being released, and all started out in a bunch, "with the two old leaders ahead. They were watched by rangemen, and appeared to be perfectly contented, and indif ferent of the approach of the human. So pleased are cattle owners and cow boys oyer the unusual sight of these animals being introduced into tlhat region, that a strong organization has been effected to protect them from hunters or others in thp future. Ev ery man who rides the range where they are feeding, is instructed to ex ercise vieilance in preserving them from harm or destruction, and any one who abuses the hunting right is to be summarily dealt with. The beauty of these animals has created very much admiration for the band and to protect them is the watchword of resi dents of Navajo county. All Indians that hunt in that region have been es pecially warned that this rule will ap ply to them, and they have' -agreed to adquiesce in the order made by the white man. With the exception of five hpnrt. ail the elk are yearlings. An other shipment will be received from Wyoming later in the year, and placed on the range at a point to be designat ed later. WILL NEVER TREAT Quite contrary to reports sent out torn Mexico City, Governor Carranza, of Chihuahua, in an interview on Sat urday, said: "I have Jiot and will never treat for my surrender with General Huerta. T have faith in the justice and the tri umph of our cause; but, if unfortunate ly the nation should not second us who are endeavoring to re-establish legal order that there may reign in it the liberty to which 'all citizens have right, arid justice is the fundamental basis of peace, I will accept the conse quences of the attitude which I have taken in the present political ques tion." 1 i "How do you characterize and judge the death of President Madero and Vice President Pino Suarez?" he was asked. "The death of President Madero and ice President Pino Suarez, in the form' in which it occurred, has no precedent in our history. I think the future will throw light on this act and justice will be meted out to the authors of the crime." "In your opinion, was the resigna tion of these officials authentic or was it a fraud?" "Knowing the character of these :entlemen and, more especially that of President Madero, I do not think that they resigned, and for that reason died while exercising their respective functions." HAD $10,000 FIRE AT A Yumaite, returning from Baja California, brings word that fire last Tuesday night caused the destruction of E. Carrillo's cantina and grocery store in Mexicali, with an estimated loss of from $8,000 to $10,000. The fire was discovered about 1:30 a. m. and, before assistance could be given, the establishment was in ruins. It was only by the hardest of work that the Sociedad office was saved from de struction along with the saloon and grocery. Hose carts were taken over from Calexico and water was furnished from the Calexico pumping station by which the fire was extinguished and the danger to the Sociedad offices was eliminated. Senor Carillo Is said to have carried no insurance. OFFICERS OF THE FIRE DEPART MENT The following shows the result of the election of officers, of the Yuma volunteer fire department: H. Wupperman, president; C. L. Myers, vice president; W. D. Riley, secretary and treasurer; N. S. Parks, chief; Theodore Brice, vice chief; Gus Livingston, patrol. INSISTS THAT TWENTY IT GIRLS WERE KIDNAPED TRAINMAN SAYS MAN INVITED PARTY TO LUNCH AND THEN LEFT THEM CHICAGO, April 7. Because he sticks to his original story, despite close and persistent questioning, J. F, Lundgren, who revealed the alleged kidnapping of 20 emigrant girls eng route to Chicago from New York, at Newcastle, Pa., has practically con- vinced the police here that the girls were spirited from the train by white slavers. "A youth in a brakeman's cap and uniform boarded the train at New castle and told the girls they could stop there for lunch," Lundgren said Saturday. "He' said nothing to the elder women and men who accom panied the girls, and the girls then alighted and started for the lunch room. Then the train started and I pulled the signal cord. The train stop ped several hundred feet, from the de pot, but, before the girls could catch up with it, it started again. "I tried to get the conductor to wait He wouldn't listen to me. The last I saw, of the girls they were running after the train and screaming for it to wait for them. None of them ap peared to have any money and none could speak English. "I am sure the youth who told them the train stopped at Newcastle for lunch, is an imposter." Lundgren was subjected to a grill ing cross-examination by the police, but did not waver in his,, story by a single detail. MADERO LIVES IN HEARTS OF HIS COUNTRYMEN Among the Mexican people there is just the same radical difference such as characterized the late political cam paign in the United States Huerta and Diaz in place of Taft, et al., ver sus Carranza and Madero in place of Roosevelt. The latter, however, escaped the bullet of the assassin, as an act of Providence, and is still vigorously in the Progressive fight, while Madero lives only in the hearts of his patriot countrymen, and speaks through Car ranze now. Huerta as the military head of Mexico was, very likely, the real murderer of Madero, while in our courtry, of course, President Taft oc cupied no such position, and, as every true American believes, would readily have risked his own life to "have pre vented any attempt on the life of Roosevelt, El Imparcial de Texas, a . leading Spanish paper, published at San An tonio, Texas, in the current Issue, vruns the following six-column head on its front page: "Los Traidores Maytorena y Carranza," meaning that the governors of Sonora and Coahuila are traitors for having refused to sanc tion the murder of the legal rulers of Mexico and the success of a band oi murderers. The Diaz Tories gt Mexico have since niurdered, in cold blood, Gov ernor Abrabam Gonzalez, one of the best men of Mexico, and many others of less -note, most of whom were patri ots who sought to modernize Mexico many of them having received their education in the colleges of the Unit ed States. Their impulse to benefit the Mexican people was strong, and for this they were sincerely hated by the Tories of our sister republic. The seed, sown by the patriots sacri ficed to freedom's cause will live on in the hearts of the great masses of the Mexican people, just as the unselfish lives of Washington and Lincoln will furnish inspiration to the American neople for all, time. NEW BOARD OF GOVERNORS The new board of governors of the Yuma County Water Users' Associa tion met last evening and elected John Harmon of the Valley secretary and E. G. Caruthers treasurer. The vote of the board was a tie for secretary three votes each were cast for ,Mr. Harmon and Mr. A. K. Beltzhpover, who held the position for two years past. President Donovan cast the deciding vote for Mr. Harmon. Two hundred dollars was voted to ward the expenses of the Commercial Club's committee, which is soon to go to Washington to help hasten the completion of the Yuma project. The new board of governors consists of six members, as follows: A. F. White, Joe Henry, Henry Hansberger, M. A. Gilmer, George Schutz and C. F. George.
