SOME HEAT RECORDS nI YUMAS
The Most Torrltl 1luco In the Whole
United States
Special Correspondence of The Florida Star
YUMA A T Aujr 24 Yuma is the
hottest city in the United States Dur
ing eight months of the year the mer
cury hovers in the highest parts of the
tube causing man woman null beast
to endure tortures like unto those uf
Dantes inferno Night brings no re
lief from the merciless heat The sun
sinks behind the horizon only to be
succeeded by the dust laden scorch
ing winds from the surrounding plains
They drive into every cranny ut the
low Hat roofed houses dispelling all
traces of moisture and choking the
populace with their arid breath
Picture a town of Tim adobe stone
and brick one story dwellings and store
buildings all with clumsy porches in
front Then place them along a
dreary red brown roasting bank of a
drowsy stream and where rude
tnorouglitares straggle up and down a
naked hill shimmering under the
fiercest sky human eye ever saw
That Is Yuma
Imagine a region thousands of
square milts in area of yellow glisten
Ing sand quaint cacti whitened bowl
ders not one rommanding view of
mountain or other sightly prominenec
a desolate ghastly desert waste
under a liars sun That Is the setting
of Yuma
Imagine yourself on some vantage
spot and looking over an isolated town
paralysed in overwhelming sunlight
scantily clad swarthy Indians spraw1
lug before yon fast asleep on baked
earth In a shifting patch of shade IM
white person visible no signs of activ
ity stores shut houses bolted not a
sound heard save rustling from some
dried sagebrush There you have life
in Yuma on a midsummer afternoon
Yuma is the heart of a land of ex
tinct volcanoes barren hills and sterile
canyons a region of mirages Cila
monsters and reptiles that thrive amid
alkali wastes and deadly thirsts The
only green tliinus to be seen are a few
sparse cottonood trees at the rail
way stations where withering white
sunshine blazes from out a cloudless
sky PJ hours a day Intlamed eyes and
evMi blindness from the intense light
are common The earth is so hot that
people with thin shoes can with ditll
ciilty tread upon it and tough range
cattle sicken and die after but brief
exposure
For ttl years Yuma in the Uio Colo
rado in southwestern Arizona has
been the banner hot town of the
country It has no rivals The old
town and Its there summers have been
fruitful topics for newspaper humor
ists Numberless jokes on the Pacific
coast concerning communities where
the mercury climbs high and regard
ing spirits that have found hades
agreeably cool in comparison have
been worn threadbare at Yumas ex
pense
Jrounds for comment on the tem
p F
perature of the territorial settlement
have never been lacking Between
July 1 and 25 1S98 tIJe thei mometer
averaged 115 degrees In the afternoon
The following year as high as 127 de
grees was touched and in September
of 1809 the temperature did not go be
low 108 Several markings of 121 were
recorded Yumas red letter hot day
occurred In 1700 It was Aug 2G
when terrifically hot winds blew from
the desert At noon the fluid rose to
123 degrees and by 4 oclock had reach
ed 129 Several deaths were reported
during the period
No one lives In Yuumfor enjoyment
The trade and teaming from the mines
some of which are uncommonly
rich In copper silver and leadkeeps
the old town prosperous There are
3200 people In Yuma Onethird of
them are Mexicans the rest are Ameri
cans Some have braved the climate
been enterprising and have accumu
lated snug fortunes
At night the whole population sleeps
out of doors Many people slumber
under the open heavens ten months In
the year In midsummer even the old
timers cannot stand the heat and close
ness of an apaitiuont at night The
scene that OLe looks on as he bares
across Yuma at dawn Is unique
Everybody lies sleeping out of doors
There are cots on the Oat roofs cots
on the porches cots In the back and
front yards and cots out in the rude
streets Every cot is occupied by a
human being
The lawbreakers now undergoing
penal servitude In Yuma receive added
punishment from the climate The
territorial penitentiary stands within
a great stone wall on a scorched hill
side in the northern part of the city
Governor Murphy and the legislature
have taken measures toward the re
moval of the crude old structure to a
cooler part of the territory
There are very few prisoners who
live In confinement under this sky
more than eight years and some do
not survive live years said a prison
warden recently
