and up to this time have each fallen about 5
inches. Though the people feel more en-

500 to 1000 men are kept constantly
at work strengthening it in weak

heavy wind, have strong hopes of saving the
city. The damage in the adjacent country

stock, and unless aid comes in the way of
provisions ere long many will perish from

mules, the stock hogs and cattle are drown

THIs city will soon emerge from the darkness in which it has been enveloped-at night-for the last three hundred years. This ancient and honorable pueblo will be light ed with gas, an event which will mark a new era in our history. Our town has been called little old fogy, and in fact very few towns of its size have so few of the modern improvements, like street cars, gas, water and heavy in- debtedness. We can dispense with the latter, and We are now about to experi- ence the benefits of gas, and soon our water supply will be perfect. This will place us on q footing with cities of more rapid growth. The introduction of gas will be an event worthy of coIrmemora- ton. Our enterprising fellow citizen, Hon. H. s. Stevens, deserves great cred It for rinaugurating this much needed im- provement. The first illumination of our city with gas will be an event worthy of observation, and some public demonstra- ton would not be out of place. Tucson appropriately welcomed the coming of the railroad, and the adoption of modern Improvements are well worth the recog- nition of our people. We would offer suggestion that some steps be taken by our people looking towards celebrating the first successful illumination of our city with gas from the works now in pro- cess of construction. Its effect upon future enterprises of a public character will be beneficial.

PROPHETS of evil have many fore bodings on account of a recent shipment of gold to Europe. There seems 10 be no occasion for alarm on that account lt is true that for several years past the current has been in the other direction and we have received millions from the old world. That could not always be the case. It also looks as if the ship ment was forced and not an indication that the tide has changed. The United States has other sources of gold supply than Europe. Her mines are constantly adding to the stock of precious metals Gold is one of the products of our country and its shipment abroad m ac- cordanCe with the laws of supply and demand should occasion no more ap- prehension of financial troubles than the shipment of cattle, carels or any other product Of the country. There is plenty of gold in this country for business pur- poses, ard for years 10 come America is going to offer the greatest inducements to capital
