The New Water Works for Phoenix.

Thomas H. McMullen returned this morning from St. Louis and states that J. J. Gardiner will not return for three or four weeks, as he is at present looking after the construction of ma- terial, and will see it properly loaded on the cars. AS most readers of the Arizonan know, Mr. Gardiner is arrang ing to put in what is popularly known as the Holly system of water works, now in use in some of the principal cities of the United States. This con sists of a large standpipe, any desired night, and engines which may be made to work in case of fire or any other emergency direct to the mains, giving all pressure desired Mir Gardiner has been successful in securing the nec- essary capital for the purpose of carry ing out his enterprise, and by the first of next March it is certain that Phoenix will have water works equal to any city in the territory outside of Tomb stone. The works will probably be To- cated in Collins addition Here is an other of the many instances of the pro- gress Phoenix is making-Arizonan

GeW College.

Phoenix is the center of population, the center of politics, the center of religion and is destined to become the educational center of Arizona as well. The reporter understands that the Pres byterian denomination proposes com mencing at once, on their lots on West Adams street, the erection of a build ing to be used as an academy, and that the school will be in full opera tion before the first of January. This has stimulated the Methodists, who for fouS years past have had in con temptation the establishment of a college in Phoenix, and it is reported that they will soon begin the erection of a large brick building on their lot on West Jefferson street, and throw the institution open to the public at the earliest possible date. These two schools taken in connection with the normal school at Tempe, will give Maricopa county the best educational facilities in the southwest. We always go ahead and never fall behind.-Ari' zonan.

 bu6f | the doors and windows are thrown open. the flaming of the wind and the draft will instantly cause the flames to increase with extraordinary rapidity. It must never be forgotten that the most precious moments are at the commence nent of a fire, and not single second of time should be lost in tackling it. In 8 room, @ table cloth can be so used as to smother large sheet of flame, and a cushion may serve to beat 1t out; g coat or anything similar may be used with an equally successful result.
 The great point is presence of mind, ealmness in danger, action guided by req son and thought. In all large houses, buckets of water should be placed on every landing, a little salt being put into the water. Always endeavor to attack the bed of fire; if you cannot extinguish fire, shut the window, and be sure to shut the door when making good your re- treat A wet silk handkerchief tied over the eyes and nose will make breathing possible in the midst of much smoke, and blanket wetted and wrapped around the body will enable person to pass through a sheet of flame in comparative safety. Should lady's dress catch fire, let the wearer at once lie down. Rolling may extinguish the fire, but if not, anything (woolen preferred) wrapped tightly round will effect the desired purpose.-Boston RudUet

<siIe he'ew tic Halfway House, while going to Casa Grande, by a masked highwayman, and was robbed of $50 and his gold watch, the latter being subsequently, returned to him. He was held prisoner until the down stage from Florence arrived. In the meantime E. A. Sake came along and was treated in like manner. Finally the stage drove up and was stopped and the express treasure box and four sacks of mail were taken. The sacks were ripped open and the mail ran sacked for money, after which the robber made Dr. Hurley gather up the debris, put it into the sacks again and throw them into the stage, when he started them all on their journey. The robber was about feet g inch es in night; wore black pants and vest and blue shirt, and where the mask failed to cover his neck the skin indi- cated dark complexion He rode 8 bay horse with black mane and tail. He talked glibly and jocularly with his captives and appeared to be an American. As soon as the news was received in Florence Under Sheriff Thomas started Messrs. J. P. Gabriel and J. D. Thomas to the scene of the robbery, with instructions to make 8 capture if possible The rain of last night has, however, likely obliterated
 the trail and the chances for the escape of the robber are greatly enhanced thereby.

Verify, blood will tell, and with the large numbers of bulls of the various improved breeds which may be had at most reasonable figures, the man who will continue to turn off "so-called beeves, thirty of which he can easily load in a thirty-four-foot car," is deserving of even stronger epithets than "unprogressive."

The Stage Held Up.

The down stage to Casa Grande on Thursday afternoon was held up at the dry lake, at the same point it was robbed about a month ago, by two Mexicans and probably the same pal- ties engaged in the previous robbery. They took a watch from the driver, Nelson Caplett, and also some cash and lot of checks from A. $. Donau, the representative of L. Zeckendo1f & Co.,, of Tucson; the express box and four sacks of mail The men were not disguised and could talk the English language fiuently. So soon as the stage reached Casa Grande the driver telegraphed back to Florence the facts and UnderSheriff Hinson Thomas, acting in the absence of Sheriff Fryer, immediately deputized George R. Morse and W. P. Bamrick and pro vided them with money for the pur- pose of hiring several Indian trailers to hunt the robbers down. Up to the time of going Nto press nothing has been heard of this party.

RICH NATIVE GRASSES.
tsilver City Sentinel.)

The new German forage plant called "Asperset," which has suddenly sprnng into prominence, has been
 found to be a native of Arizona and New Mexico. In many places in the
 MopoIlon mountains it grows abun- dantlv producing very heavy beef of an excellent flavor. It springs up rapidly to a helght of two or three feet. Cattle do not eat it when green, but as soon as it begins to ripen and when converted into hay they eat it freely. Germans claim that it IS a better feed for cows than horses. "Johnson grass" thr1ves we'll on the high mesas and slopes of hills. Roots can be planted whenever the soil is most, by making hole with light bar and dropping reot into it. It soon spreads over the ground and lives and grows in dry, coarse land. It makes good feed for stock, and is an excellent grass for dry ranches, as it fourisheS in almost any kind of land, The roots are also good for dairy cows, and each acre will yield from two to ten tons of them when plowed.
 There are also many other forage plants in the ranges of these Territo- 1ries which wouldlamply repay trans planting and cultivation. "Gilbert's Relief is a winter grass that grows with fall rains two or three feet high, bearing large heads similar to Hun garian grass. It grows in Texas, New Mexico, California and Oregon, and ranch men in Yavapai county. A. T. are about to test it's adaptibility to their soil. Another grass which It IS thought would do finely in the moun- tain slopes is the "Quack Grass. (which the cattlemen of Colorado consider the best grown, and superior to timothy and clover. It is very hardy plant and springs up so rapidly that it chokes out other grasses. It is some times called "blus stem" or "blue joint" It is sweet and nutritious, producing excellent hay, and is greed fly cropped.
