Bat Holland had an adventure
 with six wild eats Friday which was
 full of interest. He saw one eat near
 small cave above Young's ranch
 and shot at it. At the same time he
 raced toward it and was greeted with
 a warm reception. Two old cats and four young ones jumped upon him. but, being a tall, strong young fel- low, he kept them at bay with his gun used as club. He kept back ing away allthe time and, after tear ing his clothes almost entirely off they retreated and he came down to foung's house. The latter returned with him to the scene of the conflict ana they were met by volley of eat calls from the cave. Seeing that tbe old cats were away they resolved to capture the young ones, which tbey did at the expense of getting scratched and somewhat torn. The youngsters now sport around in n close pen in Bats back yard.-Tomb- stone Prospector.

THE MALNIT GROVE DAM.

The financial adjustment of the
 affairs of the Walnut Grove Water
 Storage company, are, We are told
 rapidly approaching completion and the arrangements for the rebuilding
 of the big dam are also we'll under
 way. Work will probably be com
 mcnced within the next two or three
 months and pushed as rapidly as
 possible until the winter rains set in.
 The enterprise is a gigantic one
 and one which will not only be of
 great benefit to Arizona, but which,
 1t is generally believed, will prove a
 remunerative investment to the
 parties who are its promoters. Tests of the gravel beds along the Has
 sayampa river below the dam have
 been made by expert miners who pronounce them very rich and sufii- cient alone to justify the expenditure of the money necessary to replace the dam. fumes, etc. The purposes of the company however have much wider scope than that of hydraulic mining alone. An immense area of choice arabic land is found below the site of the old dam which, at present, on account of lack of water is prac- tically valueless, except for grazing purposes. With water stored in this immense dam, which it is proposed to rebuild, 1t can be utilized for both hydraulic purposes and for irriga- ton, and the fruit growing and az ricultural possibilities of this land is simply incalculable. In addition to these two uses proposed for the water, il is also the intention and purpose of the company to furnish l power by means of electricity or otherwise for driving machinery of 1 various kinds for the reduction of | ores and other purposes The Has sayampa runs through and contigu- Dus to great mineral belt of coun- try. Mills for the reduction of ore from mines in the immediate vicinity 'an be run by water power direct obtained from this source. while for the generation of electricity can also be erected along he stream and the force thus gen rated transmitted for several miles. hus covering a scope of country for niles in extent.

Grover Cleveland has again veri-
 lied the charge made against him
 that "he never opens his mouth but
 he gets his foot in it. by remark recently made by him in Buffalo which has proven very offensive to the southern people who elected him president in 1886. The remark made, 1t is said. especially displeases Sen ator Pugh, of Alabama, who declares that Mir. Cleveland has gone out of his way to insult the south," and that he is very ungrateful man to act in that way. This causes the New York Press to observe that if the senator will spend day in Buff falo he will discover that ungrate- fulness is no new train in MT. Cleye- lands character. Any democrat of that city, where he once lived, could enlighten the senator on this point.

RATE WAR
The Combination Orders : Re-
duction to the Bay.
TO DRIVE OUT OPPOSITION.


The Puget Sound Steamship Association yes
ferday began war on the independent boats on
the Relliugham hay route by making big re-
duction in both freight aud passenger rates to
bay points. Nearly all the companies were rep
resented At a meeting Of the association in Ia
coma, and 1t was decided to reduce rates to Bel
bingham bay on March 10. The passenger rate
viii be sI.J0 from Seattle instead Of e,
q at present, and the freight rate
wns cut in two, being reduced from
y 70 81 per ton. This reduction takes effect on
the date named, and IL intended to drive out
the Wasco. which has recently gone on the bay
route with 81 passenger rate, and the J. r.
Mcdonald, which has been cutting freight
rates for some mouths. The owners OF these
stand fight, and claim that they can keep 1t up
rs long rs the association boats
Following Is the "officiai" account OF the
meeting at Tacoma, which was furnished by the
officers, and from which al. mention Of the re-
duction is omitted:

baby decide In the near future % include in its

senting the Canadian Pacific Navigation Com

sition to join the association.
Rates were discussed, and the reduction OF
the number Of boats on the Bellingham bay
route from eleven to about four or five. was con-
sidered. The Bcllingham bay route, il is argued,

The latest line Of business to seek for loca-
ton, which win be benefited by the canal, is an
iron foundry.
Messrs. IT, c. walsborg, Of Seattle, and B.
Dixon, of Port Townsend. have been looking
over the city for suitable location for q plant.
II they can secure five-acre tract they will at

about seyenty.fiye men. Both gentlemen have
spent several days In Ballard and consider it the
best point along Puget sound for their under
taking. They are practical foundrymen and ex-
pect TO do all kinds Of heavy and light casting.
Several places have been picked out, but no
one definitely chosen as yet, though the gentle
men expect to decide today or tomorrow just
where the plant will be situated. For time pig

later on, 1t Is thought smelters will be built aud
