A FIERY ILLUSION.
The Sunset Glow ON q Cloud Of Steam
Almost Causes q Panic.


A tall man with stiff gray whiskers and
a sharp, narrow nose. that bespoke quick
perception and a readiness to act, was
walking north on Sd street near G yester-
day evening about @ o'clock, when his eyes
caught sight of lurid flames leaping from
the roof of the Harrison fats which oc-
cupy the building at that corner, formerly
devoted to the census office. He didn't
hesitate a moment. but gathering himself
together he started like a race horse to-
ward Massachusetts avenue. where No. 9
engine house is located. To two or three
persons whom he passed In his sprint he
Impaired the hurried information that the
Harrison fats were on fire. Rushing into
the engine house he breathlessly told the
surprised iiremen the same thing. There
was hustling of men, q clatter Of hoofs
and rattle of harness. and in less Time
than 1t takes to tell 1t big No. and its
hose reel were tearing toward the scene
crowd had assembled on Sd street opposite
the Harrison flats and watched the red
light dancing over the cornice and going
away in flakes into the air. People re-
siding in the fats threw up their windows
to ascertain the cause of the excitement
and when they heard the one word lire
merely waited to grab their important val-
uables and get out quickly to swell the
excitement for a few moments and the
crowd expected every minute to see the
flames break forth from the upper win:
dows, when somebody with strong voice
yelled out with ungrammatical vigor:
THAT amt a fire. That amt nothin' but
steam"
The engine was turned back after the
quickest short run ever made by II, ana
the guests who were frightened out OF the
building returned to their rooms, hut quite
a throng remained until dusk watching
the singular phenomenon presented on the
roof. Over the cornice and above the cnim.

JUDGE KINNEY'S ADDRESS.
aeaa, Before the Fourth Irrigation Congress ut
Albuquerque N M Last Month

Mr.. Chairman, Members Of the Fourth
Irrigation Congress, Ladies and
Gen lcmen.
Legal Aspects Of Irrigation" vas the
subject assigned TO me by the National
Committee. Just what was in the minds
VI the members Of the committee, when
,ncy selected that subject am unable
to Judge. Certainly 1t Is broad enough
10 include almost everything under the
sun, from the most intricate problem
that arises in equity jurisprudence, TO
some fine point in practice, or to future
legislation relating to waters. However,
this address will not be in the nature Of
a law briel confined TO any one point
relating to the subject before us, but my
limited time will not PERM; me to touch
epon many branches Of the subject.
What is II that brings US together to-
dayi i, is the scarcity OF water In the
arid region. II there was sufficient
water to irTigate the land needed Tor
cultivation In this western country. there
would be no need Of these irrigation
congresses. II the laws upon the sub
ject were more settled there would be
no need OF this ''interminible water lii
cation" as heard Judge sly few
days ago.
II seems strange in looking back over
the history OF irrigation that the Con-
gress Of the United States should have
enacted such uniform and explicit laws
In relation to the disposal Of the public
lands, and to have allowed this hides
pensable incident to those lands to re-
main wholly unprovided for. II uni.
form system had a, first been adopted
by the government for the disposal OF
the waters OF the natural streams flowing
over the public domain, many Of the
difficult questions that now arise would
have been avoided. The laws concern
ing water and water rights vary exceed
ingly. In some Of the states the common
law rights OF n person who owns land
adjoining a stream or through which II
runs are abolished; in others they are
allowed. This OF course brings about a
conflict between those who claim the
water by right OF appropriation aud the
riparian owners who claim by virtue OF
ownership OF tue adjoining land, the
right to have the stream flow as Il was

A RAILROADCENTER
Yuma Destined to Lead as
 Such in the TerritOrJe

One of the nest important railroad projects ever undertaken in Arizona is that which is now under way--to build line from Durango. Cal, con- meeting at that point with the Rio Grande system, to Flagstaff, Arizona. where 1t will connect with the Arizona Central railway, thence south to the junction of the Salt and Verde river, thence via Phoenix and Yuma to San Diego. This line is backed by and will use the bank of the Hudson, Canal Company from the junction of the Salt and Verde rivers to Yuma. The ArIzona Central railway has 6f- teen miles of track from Flagstaff south already laid, and twenty miles more graded. 1t is-incorl'orated with a capital stock of SIP, 2,500,000, has no debts and it's line passes through one of the richest portions of Arizona. It has one locomotive and twenty three cars in use on it's line.
 The Utah Southern Railway wi l extend its line from Frisco, Utah, to Cedar City. The new line crosses the Atlantic & Pacific Railway at Flagstaff and the Southern Pacific at Yuma, where the Colorado River Railroad will connect with it from Cedar City. using the same road from Yuma to San Diego. At the latter place connections will be made with the San Diego belt line, which owns the finest and most valuable water front on the Pacific Coast A line will also be built from the junction of the Salt and Verde rivers, south via Tucson to Nogales, and also from Yuma south sixty-fve miles to the mouth of the Colorado
 The Hudson Canal Company is by far the most important irrigation pro- feet yet undertaken in Arizona. The legislature of Arizona has passed a law exempting any new railroad built in the Territory from taxation until 1905, which is equal to subsidy of $3,OOO per mile, The right of way has been secured for the new road Ffrom Flagstaff to Yuma. Engineers are already in the field locating th'' line south of Flagstaff. The road will open up the. richest portions of ATl- zona.-Globe Democrat.

Grape Fruit as a Tonic.

Grape fruit, plump and juicy, is in market again, hamburger of spring. This fruit is an admirable tonic, as we'll as most appetizing breakfast or luncheon relish. A doctor says that the sharp stimu- Jus of fruit is the best thing to- set the digestive organs in order for the day, and the peculiar properties of the grape fruit give it marked medicinal value.
 When eaten at luncheon it is prepare in a different way than for breakfast service. For the second meal the nts of two halves should be scraped out, the seeds and tough cone of dividing skin taken out and the pulp and juice thus obtained used to fill one of the halves, which 1t will just about do. A tablespoonful of sugar and one of rum or sherry mixed with the juicy pulp adds the perfecting fla vor. At breakfast, with the long pointed orange spoon, the meat is eaten out as is that of an orange and very little sugar is used, many persons preferring none, on the ground that it's full medical value is better obtained.-Popular Science

THERE has been quite a serious time in San Bernardino, California, oyer school affairs. It seems that the school trustees of that city were in favor of the retention of a principal of the school obnoxious to the people. The citizens had a meeting, organized into a quasi vigilance association and appointed a committee to wait upon the trus- tees. The committee met, sent for the trustees, and notified them that unless the principal was dis charged within twenty-four hours one thousand parents of children would gather at the ringing of z bell and demand the reason why No threats were made but tn trustees thought the matter s' serious that they gave the princi pal his dismissal.
 Ofcourse all this was not strictl, in accordance with law, but tn people of San Bernafdino though the trustees were elected to act fo the best interests of the .publi schools and the pupils therein, an not for their own individual az grandizement or out of persona feelings of frienship or enmity.
