The people of the Verde valley are
very much interested in good wagon
road from Flagstaff to that place. The
present road is almost impossible dur.
ing a great portion Of the year. We
learn from reliable persons living along
the line that a much shorter road
could be made by expanding little
money and time. The people of the
Verde valley desire a market for their
produce, which they would exchange
gladly for lumber, potatoes and such
other products as they do not raise in
the valley. A few dollars spent in the
right place will return ten-fold in re-
markably short time.

sudden and unaccountable rise of
vater on the Colorado desert, at what
is known ss Dry Lake. Engineers
were sent out to investigate, the
waters at ono time threatening to in.
pndsts the track Of the Southern
Pacific railroad, besides doing other
damage. 1t was at first thought by
many that the water came from the
Gulf of California, and would in time
convert the great desert into an inland

the discovery that the water comes
from the Colorado river, which is now
higher than it has been for years. The

being supported and strengthened by
bone taken from live chicken. John
Dougherty, section hand, while work.
ing in the Chicago yards June IA, 1890,
received slight injury to his left shin
bone by scraping the skin off while
planning piece of timber on the ground.
The skin did not grow on again. The
sore spread rapidly until it covered sew
eral inches of the shinbone. The sur
geOns pecided that bone-rot had set in.
The only way to save the remaining
portion of the bone was to remove the
decayed part down to the live bone by
chiseling it out. This operation was
successfully performed.
In consequence of the large amount of
bone which had been Clipped away
something had to be substituted to take
its place and make the limb strong. To
do this live chicken was placed under
the influence of chlOrOform, one leg was
deftly amputated, the bone removed and
split, and the raw edge applied to the
living bone in Dougherty's leg. This

a group Of state politicians at that place
when he made the declaration. Mr..
Harrison said his father would not be a

party demanded it. SHOULD the Repub-
lican leaders insist upon it," continued
Russell, ''then he will allow his
name to go before the conven-
ton, but under no other circum-
stances would he be candidate if he
consulted his family. Personally he had
rather retire to private life, but as an
ardent party man he is willing TO OBJ
serve the wishes of the majority" Mr.
