DIR. NJ. j. Davis Is prominent pbysi-
clan OF LOWS, Csss county, Iowa, and
has been actively engaged in the prac-
tiee of medicine at that place fer the
pisL thirty-five years. On the 26th OF
May, while in Des Moines, en- route to-
Chicago, he was suddenly taken with an
attack, Of disrrhoea. Having sold Cham
berlain's Colo, Cholera and diarrheea
Remedy for the past seventeen years,
and knowing its reliability, he procured
a % cent bottle, two doses OF which COM
pietely cured him. The excitement and
shange Of water and diet incident to
travelling OIien produce diarrhoes.
Every one should procure bottle OF
this Remedy before leaving home. FoS

FIVE QUADRILLIONS.
The Gallons to be Impounded in
the South ella Dam.
An Enterprise that W IL Eclipse Any
thing Ever Done in Irrigation
in United States.

The most beautiful agricultural re-
gion in the world, the soil the best, with
ample water, the climate such as will
make spring In abundance. and the ear
lisst of all, vegetable and fruit growths
will be along the new South Gila canal
Such is the opinion of Engineer b.
S. Woods, who for the California Bridge
company is now supervising the con-
truction OF the huge dam there, dImen-
sions of which the CITIZEN recently
gave. Figures utterly fail to show
the stupendOus scale of this work.
When one says that five quadriilion
gallons Of water will be contained in
the dam it only signifies great deal of
water. And when il is said it will back
water for good many miles it is not
doubted. But when one thinks of it's
beir:g capable Of irrigatIug 100000 acres
Of land-a vast scope of country-it
seems gigantic undertaking,
EXCELLENT WORK.
The work is nothing but the best,
the very most substantial possible. So
says l.. Rosenstern, there this week on
business. The masonary is Of blg
blocks of stone several feet cube, and
the piling work is substantial.
Just now the work is the erection of
tower for anchorage from which a huge
cable recently ordered from New York,
can 5e utilized for the proper placing
of the big stone.
BIG CAPITAL BEHIND 1T.
English millions are behind the big
enterprise. The work of the dam was
contracted for with the California
Bridge company, while on the canal it is
done by the company proper.
During the warm months work has
been suspended on the canal. This is
because the work Is In a. fair way To be
completed before the dam can. As the
canal cannot be used until the dam is
finished there is no need of rushing the
work through these Arizona Junes,
Julys and Augusts. Working steadily
with force OF $50 to 200 men it will
take from year and half to two years
to complete the dam. By that time the
canal will be ia readiness for it,

SAN JUAN'S RACES.
Cow Ponies Race--The Whippers
Did the Work.

The cool OF the morning, o'clock
and before, saw devctees of San Juan
by the hundreds at the race track east
Of town.
They were mos ly on horseback and
mostly Mexicans. just few Amer
leans were there, full of curiosity, bat
lacking the proper spirit OF the great
day of San Juan.
The occasion was horse race, be-
ween COW ponies, value, says one of the
unaPprecistive Americans, S25 each.
The dis 'ance was thousand yards. the
riders small boys ard the whipp- rs the
owners. For the San Juan race has the
extra function of a whipper. The
whipper des another horse, IS usually
man with strong arms and keeps the
racers gong. He has piece of stick
or leatber-either is gOod-and riding
close behind he brings down the stick
or the leather with great force and ex-
celient results.
THE FLYERS IN PLACE.
A bay nag was pointed out among
fifty others no worse es one OF the con-
testants. 1t was owned by butcher
and straddled by a seventy five pound
boy, VINO was quite in keeping with the
sieed. The butchers name Is Bicen5io
AlminOr, the horses Siane.
The opposition animal was owned by
one Escalante.
Trouble arose over raising the
the stakes. The race had been for $50
in cash, besides side bets of every des-
crlption, including horses, ten cows,
barley and cash from So to two bite
1t was not till o'clock that the stakes
were announced satisfactory and the race
On.
Two COW ponies, with with boy riders,
behITd two more COW ponies and men
rides, took position for the race. The
Silks OF the pursuers were raised when
the word was given. Whacki whack!
down they come and away went the
horses with the boys. Behind, close
be ind, C me the steed with the riders
with the sticks.
IL the race had been between the
riders of the pursuing borses it would
nave resulted IN better time. But the
only time kept was by the whippers, in
spanking the racers. The race, how
ever, was between the foremost steeds,
50 the place for the sxifter animals was
behind.
With rattle Of hoofs, the screams of
hundreds, the half terrified, cllngi,
youngsters and the furious-w hippers
that thousand yards was made interest

The Sisno horse won.

Now WHY is if that Tucson has to pay
more than thee times as much as
Phoenix for its city electric lights? l.

BILE that the old regime of years ago is TO
be revived in Tucson, when plunderlng
the public was considered a virtue, or
is it Ignorance? In either event the
public has the right 10 be protected and
not to De victImized.-Star.
Toe above reflection on the good
name of the city council is i'll advised, ill
timed and entirely unwarraDt=d. A
year ago Judge Barnes offered electric
light to the city for 500 per month.
This offer brought in coulter PROPOSE
tions from Messrs. Hoff and Ormsby.
Nothing tangible, however, could be
shown but IN order to encourage enter
prise and induce investors to improve
the city, the council passed a resolution
in which II vas expressly stated that a
contract for lighting the city would be
given to the party who first estabiis he'd
an electric light plant in Tucson. In
accordance with said resolution the
present contract to the electric light
company was awarded. Under said
contract the city and public buildings
will be we'll lighted and al moderate
cost. For S-0e-candie power thu city
has agreed to pay S175 per mooth. On
the court house and in the public build
ings, the lights will burn ali night. This
does not necessarily imply a steal in the
contract or that victim is being rob-
bed as intimated by the Star. The
rates under said contract are higher
than those offered to Phoenix, but The
low rates in the latter city are born not
only OF competition but in the cheap
generation OF the electric light. For
this Phoenix has facilities not enjoyed
by this city and without which a lower
rate could not be offered But the un-
fortunate disposition TO find fault fl ,sts
readily to the surface in Tucson. Good
intentions are bslittled or subjected to
isuspicion, and implied jobbery is made
Ito dance attendance on every enterprise
= that is brought forward in the interest
of public coed. Then We sit back and
: wonder why business does not go ahead;
why strangers do not come and invest
money with us. 1T needs no sage to tell
Us why.

Thus was challenge for duel to the
death uttered by one Mexican to an
other at Greaterville on Wednesday
afternoon. The cause for the duel was
the old one, in fact the whole story is
the old one-with the except IN that the
weapons were novel. Which is to say
they were to the world at large. Not so
to the Mexicans. However,nothing more
natural than that they should fight with
Mexican weapons. "PIstoles Mexicano."

Juan Vasquez, mother OF four children.
The man in it not her husbaud is Flor

and she waited him arrested. There
being no justice she went to the con-
stable. He referred her to her husband.
Accordingly she TOLD her husband.
That injured man went TO F'lOreutino,
who then asked him to go up the arroyo
and they would have duel about it.
Alone they went and fought. The
