4ion OF a new head to the canal. They

sendent, will be home in few days.
The evening Of October Is has been
set as the time for holding the military
ball at Daggs' hall in Tempe. The
various committees are hard &C work on
all preliminaries and the entertainment
will no doubt be the grandest OF the
kind ever given in Arizona. Supper
will be served at the Tempe hotel
which means success in that branch OF
the ceremonies.
Mrs. @. w. Miller, accompanied by
her little children and her mother,
Mrs. M. G. Hill, arrived Yesterday
snorning from q four months visit to
their old homestead at Buffalo, N. X.
Some weeks were spent also in Penn
sylvania with other relatives. The
ladies report having spent very en-
ioyable summer, but are really glad to
again inhale the fresh autumn breeze of
Arizona. They all return in excellent
health.
A. st. John Gaylord, superintendent
of the Highland canal, has returned
from visit to the coast where he has
been interviewing prominent members
OF the company. They have decided
to put the canal in first class condition
during this fall and winter and the
work will begin in few weeks. Mr..
Gaylord says his trip was success
beyond his expectations as formerly his
actions have been governed by want OF
means which kept his hands tied.
Now that the financial obstacle has
been removed the Highland will be
placed on a footing equal to any canal
in the valley and being the highest on
the South Side il will reclaim much
land that can be reached from no other
quarter.
On Saturday evening last Hardy At
kinson and Henry Reynolds were re-
tnrning home from Phoenix, and when
near the halfway house they met a
frightened and almost breathless trav-
eiar who begged them II they ever ex-
pected to receive maternal caresses
again to return with him to Phoenix.
He said two men, he thought they were
Mexicans, had held him up and robbed
him OF $3.50, all the money he had.
The boys held consultation and can
vAssed their pockets. The invoice
showed that Hardy had ID cents, while
Henry had silver dollar, which he
forthwith slipped into his stocking.
Like the gallant Pizzsro before the city
OF the Incas, Hardy drew Rn imaginary
line in the sand, spurred his horse and
arossed over, while the more timid com
panion followed the daring leader. The
remainder Of the journey was without
excitement, and with heiuts in their
mouths the lads stole quietly into town.
