ON THE ROAD TO EVERYWHERE 



Ytima and the lands under the Yuma project are extremely 

 fortunate in the matter of transportation. Yuma is located on the 

 main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and has direct communi- 

 cation with the East and the Coast country by this great system. 

 Five passenger trains, all of high class, pass Yuma each way during 

 every twenty-four hours. The Southern Pacific main line traverses 

 the lands of the Yuma project for a distance of more than twenty 

 miles, with convenient sidings and small stations. 



Three branch railroads run out of Yuma. One branch twelve 

 miles long runs from Yuma through the Indian reservation to Laguna 

 dam, affording ample shipping and passenger facilities for the San 

 Pascuale Valley. This is a branch line of the Southern Pacific. 



The Inter-California Railroad runs from Yuma to the Mexican 

 line at Andrade and on to Calexico and El Centro, in the Imperial 

 Valley, a distance of seventy miles, and puts all the intervening 

 country in close touch with Yuma, which is its market place. 



This road is a branch of the Southern Pacific road. 



A government-owned railroad runs from Yuma down the Colorado 

 River a distance of twenty-three and one-half miles to the interna- 

 tional line, following the crest of the reclamation service levee. This 

 railroad puts a large portion of the Yuma Valley within a short 

 distance of railroad communication with Yuma and the outside world. 

 This road will be extended by the reclamation service across the 

 lower end of the valley at the international line and brought back to 

 Yuma on the East, or Mesa, side of the valley, thus giving to the 

 valley fifty miles of railroad and putting every farm in the valley 

 within two or three miles of its shipping point. 



The California-Arizona Railroad is building from San Diego to 

 Yuma, and is at this time about two-thirds completed, and will 

 probably reach Yuma by the close of the year. 



Two automobile stage lines run from Yuma into the Yuma Valley 

 connecting Yuma with Scmerton and Gadsden, two thriving villages, 

 twelve and nineteen miles South of Yuma, respectively. All parts of 

 the valley can be reached by auto stage several times each day, and 

 at a very reasonable cost. 



An automobile stage line runs from Yuma to Holtville and El 

 Centro in the Imperial Valley, making daily trips at a reasonable 

 charge. 



The reclamation service is building a railroad from Yuma to 

 Laguna dam on the Arizona side of the river. Several miles of this 

 road South of Laguna dam has been completed, and the line will 

 probably be finished the coming Fall and Winter. 



With one main line railroad, four branch lines, reaching to all 

 parts of the Yuma project and numerous stage lines, Yuma is indeed 

 " On the Road to Everywhere."
