THE GREAT LAKE OF THE DESERT
water stin Rising and tho 1aiiroad Fee
pie Unable to Cope with It.

YUMA. Ariz.. July IA Trustworthy report
from Balton says that the boat sent out BY the
railroad company on the Desert Lake was
forced to return after having travelled twenty
FIVE miles. The force OF the current made FUR
ther headway impossible.
The latest news received reports the water
still rising. The theory advanced. that the
wator now running into the Sslton basin
is caused by tho barrier washed out
on the Colorado River last rear
near Pilot Knob. Ia exploded by
the fact that the food OF February this year
carried twice tho amount OF water Of
run into the desert II an inlet existed. Caro-
full Investigation proves that the barrier
between tho Colorado and rim Of desert was
only ridge OF four feet. This was ascer-
tanned in survey made several years ago.
Tho Colorado River has teen falling for
over week and Is lower to-day than the same
day last year. II the water is running from
the gulf the amount must increase daily.
A late dispatch from Salton says o strong
wind last night forced the north shore OF the
new lake back about 200 feet. Another do
spatoh from Salton says:
III the water comes from the Colorado River
thero must now be enough between here and
the river to nearly Ill this basin. and most
likely reacn inc main lno OF tno ooutnern
Pacific. All the fiat part OF the basin is now
covered with water. and the depth will increase
much faster.
Section mon are making efforts to save the
railroad spur. but the water is very hot. and IL
is feared the men cannot endure It The water
Is wsrmest at the bottom. Two outfits were
started out by Supsrintendcnt Muir Of the
Southern Pacific yesterday-ons from Salton
and the other from Ogllby.
Both parties started In wagons with supply
Of wnter and provisions and they will make
IN effort to locate the exact spot where tho

BRISTOL.

BRISTOL, May 5.-[Special Some
days ago committee was appointed
to look after the removal of Southwest
Virginia Institute, which is located at
Glade..Springs. After weeks confer
ence they have decided to bring it to
Bristol. The citizens of this town have
subscribed $4,000 in cash to this insti.
tuition and will give q site of from ten
to twenty-five acres.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
Bristol, Elizabethton and North Caro-
lima railroad. 1t will take less than S5, 900
to complete the grading between Bristol
and Elizabethtcn. lobe & Co., con-
tractors, began Elizabethton this morn
ing. They now have about 100 hands
at work along the line.
AT Judge Kelley's court in Abingdon
this week motion will be made for an
injunction restraining the corporation
of Bristol, Virginia, from issuing 500, 600
thirty year bonds as city subscription
in aid of the contraction of the Dan
vile and East Tennessee railroad. The
case may occupy the entire week.
Neither the contractor or general mana
ger of this road has been here for sew
a great many people that the road is
in the soup.
Tomorrow is the aldcrmanic election
on tho Tennessee side. 1t will not have
as much enthusiasm about it as its pre-
decessors. DR.. Sam w. Rhea will be
elected mayor without opposition, and
the following gentlemen will probably
be elected aldermen: j. e. Anderson,
j. 1. Cox, w. ii. Smith, A. L. Taylor, j.
p. Rador, j. A. Dickey and Alex X.
Brown. The election on the Virginia
side will be held tho fourth Thursday
in May, in which more interest will be
manifested than on the Tennessee side.
The seventh anniversary of the Y.
M. c. A. was held yesterday afternoon
at o'clock in the Presbyterian Church.
Rev. &. S. Williams, pastor Of the Bap-
fist Church, and ID. ID. Taylor, secretary
of tho associati ton, made excellent ad-
dresses before the audience.

Church with much success.

TURN on THE HOSE.

Next to a defense from his enemies a
man needs one from his fool friends.
That is the case at present with the Roa-
noke fire department. Within a week
statements have appeared in our morn
ing contemporary which would indicate
that the fire department was boiling
over With desire that q certain fire
alarm system should be adopted by the
City Council. Mcbbe, mebbc not.
But even il they are, tho Council is
the one which will have the decision in
the matter and all the weight which the
fire department or it's mcmbcrs are en-
titled to is on their opinions as compe-
tent experts on the subject of fire
alarms backed up by proof of that com
potency.
And when the matter comes to the
point that paper will convey COY ,rt
threat that the fire department will
turn outs the polls and work against
any Councilman who may oppose GER
tain fire alarm system, it is high time
for the fire department to turn out and
play tho hose upon the paper which
prints such a statement.

BY the way there came near being
small sized war over the Gas and Water
tract right of way, west Of Woodland

the Roanoke and Southern graders were
assembled at the disputed point, with
their grading tools in hand. Just
across the line was the full force of
graders and trenchers in the employ of
the Gas and Water Company.
Tho latter had unlimbcred the picks
from their handles and these would
make formidable weapons at close
quarters. 1t was not yet day break. but
it looked as If trouble was hand. Just

The Coming Fashionable Resi-

F. j. Kimba1l president of the Norfolk and Western
railroad: "The property of the Roanoke Gas and
Water Company and Crystal Spring Land Company
in my opinion is destined to become the fashionable
residence section of Roanoke"
More elegant houses will undoubtedly be erected there
during the spring and summer than any other part
of the city.
The Parkersburg Investment Company, H. G. Cole
manager, Jefferson street, have a few of the
choicest lots in the Crystal Spring property for sale
These lots situated just the and are the
most desirable of the entire property They are 40
feet in size and situated on high rolling ground
tant mountains. The contract has been awarded to
lay water mains through the streets of the property
and electric street line will place residents in
almost any part of the city in a few minutes
Only houses of 6rstclass quality be erected the
property and the lots equally desirable the
best in the West End, upon which such large
of money made last year.
The lots of the Parkersburg Investment Company
be bought for ONE THIRD THE PRICE OF THE
BEST Lors WEST END, and inspection
will show that they offer the best investment in the

THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.

Before the publication of the report
of the grand jury on the New Orleans
affair, it looked as If tho italian diplo-
mats had abandoned their threat ter ing
position, having opened their eyes to
the fact that it takes something besides
monkey to scare continent.
If they have been awaiting tho action
OF the New Orleans grand jury, they
will probably not take much encourage
ment from what has been given out
The grand jury reports that it has
made discoveries that lead to the con-
clusion that the people of Now Orleans
did their duty in breaking the power of
the Malta.
The jury reaches the same conclusion
that has already been expressed by fair
minded men throughout the civilized
world.
The report OF the jury may be consid-
cred as final answer to the demands of
Italy. The people of New Orleans did
nothing that merits punishment, and
the grand jury plainly says to Italy tn at
the men who executed the Italians will
not be punished.
1t may be remarkable and unusual
proceeding for grand jury publicly
assert its refusal to attempt to investi-
gate charges of lynching, but the action
OF this jury will be approved by all
