THE RAGING SALT.
The River Has Reached Its
Highest Point.
the South side Temporarily Shut
orr From cQmmunlca-
ton.

The Salt river Is again up, this time
the highest 1t has been since the big
food nearly three years ago. The adj
vance wave twelve feet high, carrying
trees, logs and everything movable in
its course awakened the slumbering
citixens at 5 o'clock q. M, and by day
light the banks were lined with curious
observers. The water rose to within
five feet Of the height 1t reached when
Che railroad bridge went out, but by
noon Yesterday the rushing torrent had
receded at least five feet. The stages
will be compelled to transfer at the
bridge for few days, but the stream
goes down almost as rapidly as IL rises.
All forenoon young men, old men, boys,
and even women, could be seen fshing.
While the river was at its highest the
muddy water was too much Tor the hsh,
with which the stream Rbounds, and
the finpy beauties by the million
Jumped from the river toward the Try
ing pan. All along the banks salmon
weighing from four to ten pounds and
many OF them nearly two feet in length,
could be seen with their noses out OF
the water and their gills dilated in 3
vain effort to breathe. Beautiful spot
ted carp big enough for a mess for q
family, besides many other varieties OF
the scaly tribe swarmed along the shore
and were easily picked out by hand.
BY eight O'Clock the market Was glut-
ted, while many Of the Mexican fami-
lies laid in their winter supply OF fresh
fish. Above the buttee at least forty
were fishing at daylight, all doing the
net by hand, and everyone caught as
many as he wanted, for as fast as the
Hpeckled beauties we're picked up, others
came to gil the breach, and the num-
beers did not in the least seem dimin-
iahed.

a Valuable Lantern.

A will written with a pencil on a
shingle was once admitted to probate
in the United States. The author of
Gossip of the Century" tells story
still more curious. Two British
soldiers, comrades, while talking over
the chances of war on the eve of a
battle, agreed that whichever of them
survived the other should inherit all
his possessions To insure the carry
ing out of their agreement, they made
their wills. As paper and pens were
not at hand, they scratched their last
will and testament" on a horn lantern
with rusty nail. The battle was
fought, and one of the comrades was
killed The other man, in course of
time, returned to England, carrying
with him the singular document. He
took it to Doctors Commons, where it
was proved and allowed. Then it TAP
peared that the poor fellow who had
died in battle had, without hearing of
it, inherited property yielding two
hundred pounds year, and the legatee
under the horn-lantern will received
the inheritance,
DON'T forget that marriage is the
foundation OF a new family, not the
union of two old ones
DoN'T marry anybody till satisfied
that life together viii be bearable and
enjoyable as long as both shall live,
DoN'T expect marriage to make q
great change in the habits and aims Of
young manor young woman
either.

MESA CITY, ARIZONA, SEPTEMBER %, 1898
MESA NOTES.

Mr.. Alex Lucy Of Phoenix came up to
Mesa yesterday on business.
Mr.. Spsinhower came in from his
lately purchased ranch. a couple OF
miles west OF this city.
Fred Riley, genial member OF the
Arizona Hardware firm OF Tempe, paid
Mesa flying visit yesterday on busi-
ness.
A grand ball win be given by the
management in the Social hall at Mesa
this evening, and good time is pre-
dicted.
The new grocery and hardware de.
partment OF the Mesa coop. store now
has y stock Of goods on the shelves and
10 ready for business.
Messrs j. r. Truman and Hunsaker,
of Mesa, returned yesterday morning
from trip the import Of which was
the location OF supposed coal ledge
above Mcdowell.
Pomeroy Bros. are having q fine
porch put on the front OF their block.
The porch will improve the appearance
OF the building and at the same time
make the rooms on the groundhoor much
more comfortable. w. M. Burton is
doing the carpenter work.
The Tempe baseball club few days
ago challenged the Mesa team to play q
series OF three games. The challenge
was accepted, and the fret game will be
played Saturday, Sept. 80, at Tempe,
the other two, the next two following
Saturdays at Mesa. The teams play
pretty close and no doubt the games
will be interesting.
Messrs. Neff and Tate, of Macomb,
Ill.,, have been in our city for several
days looking over the resources OF the
city aud valley. Messrs. w. E. Pom.
eroy drove them to the capital
city yesterday. They are we'll pleased
with the valley, and Mesa in particular,
and no doubt will buy soon. They are
both solid, sturdy men, the very kind
we need to settle with us.
One OF the heaviest showers that has
ever passed over this section visited ns
day before yesterday about 4 o'clock
and continued for an hour and hall
without abating. The storm came
from the northeast, and it is reported
that Old Salt is on a strike for higher
bank than che has seen since the big
food last February two years ago. This
should be a gentle hint TO water storage
men, showing how quickly a sufficient
amount OF water could be stored to irri-
gate thousands Of acres Of land yet I'M
known to irrigation.

POLAR BEARS KEEP COOL.


Tropical Animals in Captivity Suffer
Most During the Heated Term.
cit viii surprise most people" said
Superintendent A. Il. Brown, of the
Philadelphia geological garden, to a
Record man, ito learn that the polar
bear stands the hot weather of the dog
DAYS in this locality better than the
African lion. On hot days the lion
win get off his feed; the bear win not.
The tropical animals in the garden, y
continued the superintendent, "are the
ones mostly affected by the extreme
heat of midsummer, strange as it may
appear. suppose the reason of it is
that the heat there is more moist than
that of the tropics, and, as it were, of
a different character. Whatever NOR
tally occurs among our animals dur
ing heated term is mostly among the
tropical animals, especially the A frican.
In hot weather | have watched the
polar bear 20 into his tank, and then,
instead of lying in the shade, extend
himself in the direct rays of the sun,
where the water on his skin would
evaporate. He found out for himself,
suppose, that evaporation causes a
lower temperature. Again, it is some
what astonishing, at first, that our
polar bear should suffer sometimes as
he does from the severe cold of winter,
have seen him shivering on one of
those bitterly cold days, when the sky
