The Phmnix Canal Sold.

Phoenix, A. T., Jan. THE property
of hee Gila Bend Irrigation company and
it's successor, the Peoria Canal company
and the Arizona Construction company,
kindred association, has been sold by
the receiver under order of the court.
The entire property was bid in by G. E..
Crowley, of Los Angeles, a member of the
firm that did the greater portion of the
construction work on the canal, to whom
was due over 100000. The property
brought 81 $500, to which must be added
$l25,0G0 in receivers certificates.
The sale is a final one, succeeding a
long course of litigation, and is without
right of redemption. 1t is worth at the
least calculation $1,500,000, embracing a
great dam on the Gila river, thirty miles
below Phoenix, forty miles of main canal
capable of irrigating 10000 acres and
thirty miles of laterals. The actual cost
exceeded $l,OO0,O0O. The capital was
mainly furnished by Greenhut and other
members of the whisky trust at Peoria,
ILL.,, who allowed the forfeit of all their
rights. The new owners are now form
ing com pany and will soon take charge
OF the canal, which is full of water and
in perfect shape.

Almost Incredible,

1t seems almost impossible for Santa
Feans to believe it, but dispatches from
northern New Mexico and Colorado
points say terrific storm has been in
progress for three days past. One to
three feet of snow have fallen at many
Colorado points and on Friday night a
wind storm of extraordinary violence
prevailed. Houses at Boulder, Colo, were
unpoofed, and even so near US as Las We.
gas damage was done. The Optic of Sat
urday says:
"Considering the velocity OF the wind
last night but little damage was done
While the fire was raging on the west
side the roof blew from the Lopez hall
and landed within few yards of the
blazing lumber pile. A portion of the
smoke stack at the roller mill vieldad .n

down. frame house which Ruff Rogers
was building north of town collapsed.
The studdings had been put in place and
few boards nailed to them. Other but
minor accidents occurred in different
places"

strand Canon OF Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, ia
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can "read up" about it>@y
asking G. 7. Nicholson, G. P. & T. A., A.
7. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.

'Not the least interesting part of the

New Mexico. Concerning this the re-

Valley railroad which was built by j. j.
Hagerman, of Colorado Springs. The
road runs from Pecos City, Texas, to Ros-

miles. It penetrates a garden. Over
$4,000, 900 has already been spent devel-

prosperity and value of the valley, giving
it direct connection with Kansas City BY
the Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe, and
with Denver and Fort Worth by the Fort

a great aid to these roads as well as to
their own line.
Some years ago made survey from
Washburn to Roswell and Mr.. Kingman,
the engineer who has just finished a sur
vey for the Pecos Valley railway, con-
firms the report then made by my engi-
neers. With present prices the road can
be built and equipped for about $4,000
per mile, and with grades not to exceed /
per cent, and the road, when completed,
will be the shortest line to Denver and
Fort Worth and of the least grades, and
will tend to develop portion of Texas

HAVE THEY MADE Upf

One of the guests at the state dinner
last week tells an interesting story of
what occurred there between President
Cleveland and Senator Hill. Before the
dinner only the formal greetings took
place. At the dinner the president and
senator sat some distance apart. After
dinner those of the gentlemen who de-
sired withdrew to the smoking room.
Those who did so were Mr.. Cleveland,
President Roberts, Of the Pennsylvania
railroad; President Orr, of the New York
chamber of commerce, Senator Hill and
several others. The gentlemen lighted
their cigars and took seats. Mr.. Cleve-
land glanced across the room, picked up
chair and, putting it beside Senator
Hills, sat down and entered into a
friendly conversation. The action was
SO marked that the others noticed it and
told of it to-day. The statement is made
that Senator Hill was never inside of the
White house until last night.

THE M'GARRAHAN CLAIM.

Senator Teller, who was the special
champion in the senate on the late Will
lam McGarrahan in his effort to estab-
lish his claim to ranch of the Grande
grnnt in California, says he will not con-
tinue his labors in behalf of McGarra-
hans heirs.
81 supported Mr.. McGarrahan because
believed an injustice had been done
him and not because of the money in
volved. McGarrahan took that position
himself and when money was offered re-
fused to compromise. Now that his heirs
have taken up the contest they have done
so purely for the sake Of the property
which is supposed to be involved and not
for the establishment of principle"
The bill, it may be stated, has passed
the senate and had been favorably re-
ported from committees in the house. It
merely provides for submitting McGar-
rahan's claims to the U. s. court of pri-
vate land claims.
