Weather Items ii is true, are cheap aud
numerous The result of an all days rain on
Monday can scarcely be overlooked or forgot
ten. As fast as il fell it formed ice, and cy-
crythng was soon encased in an icy covering
a quarter of an inch or more thick; every tree,
limb and twig was laden with ice until the
weight broke down many fruit and injured
shade trees AL through the city and surround
ing country. A day or two afterwards, when
the sun came out, the beauty and grandeur of
the scene cannot be described. Diamonds,
from which all the colors of the rainbow radi-
atcd, secmgd to be placed without number
upon the trees, and the glitter and brilliancy
of the scene surpassed that of any fairy tale
ever told. 1t is perhaps fortunate that the
water did freeze as il fell, otherwise much
damage might have been done from a sudden
rise of the rivers. Yesterday noon the Hi
nois was fourteen feet seven inches below the
sidewalk on the bridge and within about five
feet of the highest point reached last year
and was rising slowly. Some apprchensons
are felt for the safety of the bridges in case OF
warm weather or more rain and also for that
part of the town north of the canal. 1t is
said that with a sudden "boom" in the Fox a
gorge is sure to form at the aqueduct and the
can scarcely he foresccn. Per
sons who have watched the rivers for years
predict higher water than we have seen for Il
long time, but others equally well Informed
say that last year can scarcely be cqualled.

Salt river and Tonto valleys never looked so attractive as they do at pres ent; everywhere mother earth is car peted with green. The frequent rains have rendered irrigation unnecessary and some of the finest fields of barley have received no water except what fell from the heavens. George Dan- forth has fifty acres of the finest bar ley ever grown on Salt river. Messrs Robertson, Vinyard, Cline and Wat kins also have promising crops. The round ups on Salt river, Tonto and Wild Rye creek are over and large number of calves were branded. Feed is unusually good and cattle are in prime condition.
