A NEW WATER SYSTEM,
A Matter of Great Importance
 to Phoenix.
A New Combination of Well Known Capitalists to Operate in
 This City.

E. C.. Webster, of Pasadena, is in the city concerning a matter which is of great importance to Phoenix. Mir. Web ster, to begin with, is gentleman who rides on the crest of bOOms and has achieved great financial success thereby. He was, therefore, naturally attracted to Phoenix. Mir. Webs,er's business here is to puC in an extensive city water system. He is associated in the enter prise with Mir. MCNally, of the well known Chicago publishing firm of Rand, McNalIy X Co.,, and with MT. c. c. Green, the big patent medicine man. He left last night for the east with MT. McNally, who has lately been at Los Angeles.
 Mir. Webster, who, as has been re- marked, has keen perceptions in the matter of booms, says that Phoenix has an early and wonderful future bdfore it. He does not believe that it will ever be great boom town in the commonly ac- cepted and worst sense of the word '' boom," but that it will be simply a great city.

Fridays Session.

A legislative week week closed yes- terday afternoon and the mempers oi both houses congratulated themselves upon the amount of work either ac- complished or put in line of accomplish ment. A session of legislature even in an old long settled state where con- servative opinious prevail is looked up- on with apprehension and the legisla- ture itself is often regarded as legal ized and necessary nuisance.
 If the first week of the present ses- son of the Arizona legislature may be taken as an earnest of what is yet to be

 Portland, Ore.

PORTLAND, Feb. l6. T Associated Press. IA frightiut accident occurred on the city and suburban electric street railway in lower Albina at 3 80 o'clock this afternoon, in which three persons were killed and a dozen others seriously injured. A car was coming down the descent on McMillan street when the mo orman lost control of the car and it plunged at terrific speed down the hill and leIt the track and went over on it's side with a tremendous crash. The car was crowded with forty-tive passengers aboard, among whom were young peo- pie, who constituted the graduating class of the Williams avenue grammar school. The car left the track at the turn on the corner of McMillan and Barabee streets. The momentum was so great that on leaving the track it was dashed to pieces. The dead are J. 0. Dennis, carpenter. 90 years; Bertram DenUisou, IS. Injured J. T. Johnson, James Menefee, a painter, probably fatally; Allah R. Rigman, shead badly cut; Claude Scotins. leg broken and other injuries; William iiggin, head cut; Alice Wells, head badly cut; James Finn, head cut; Mrs A. Davis, of Woodland, wrist broken and head badly cut; Mrs. Carlson, leg brokeG and cut badly by broken glass Miss Sullivan, assistant principal of the Williams avenue school, arm broken Miss Corey, serious bruises; Mir. Ross internal injuries and head cut badly, and his son, who received a fractured wrist.
 Surgeons in Alhina and the city proper were immediately summoned and in short time all the injured had been removed from the wreck and taken to the hospital.
 H. Blaisdell and H. F. Doty, the mo- torman and conductor respectively were arrested. Blaisdel says: "I did all in my power to check the momentum of the car but the brakes would no, hold. The incline on MrMillan street is very steep and at this point we were very cautious, but 1 did all could and found l could not stop the car. We struck the curve going into Larahee We were going at a good rate ul speed 1 was afraid we would go over, but stood by the brake until the car turned over on it's side. Then I went into the car to help release the passen' gers." Police Officer Davidson who was on the front platform when the accident occurred, said: "I am satisfied that the motorman in this case IS entirely blameless for the acci. dent. He had his brake on as hard as it could be, but he could not control the car."
