ANOTHER RESERVOIR.
The Old Lake at the Meadows
 to Be Enlarged.

Civil Engineer Stafford has completed surveys and drawn tbe necessary maps of the reservoir of Isaacson & Peter son, located northwest os town. The estimates made and maps prepared show that when completed the reser- voir will cover nearly seven hundred acres, and will hold water sufficient to irrigate twenty-five hundred acres of land. This work has been going on quietly for number of years, the first work being done by Messrs. Thomas Peterson and Isaac Isaacson, who threw up small levee. sufficient to hold suf- ticient to irrigate a few acres. They have built the eembankmenth higher each succeeding year, while extending their acreage. until they are now owners of fine property. They recently sold a one-third interest in the reservoir and ditch system to Messrs. L. R. and J S.. Gibbons, and is now proposed tG raise the embankment as high as possible To quote the language of MT. Peterson while talking on the subject, "We in- tend to go to the top of the hills" All during the late years of drouth, Messrs. Isaacson and Peterson have never lost a crop, last year harvesting one of the heayiest of small grain ever raised in this valley. The result of their efforts only go to show what can be done by a little labor intelligently directed.

FIRE AT CONCHO.
Harris Greer's House Burned
 Last Saturday.

On last Saturday morning Mrs. J. H. Greer, of Concho, took her two young est children and went on an errand to the post-ofice, leaving no one at home. During her absence the house caught fire, presumably from a spark, and as it was a frame structure and quite a high wind blowing at the time, the flames spread rapidly, and nothing was saved. Another thing that tended to deter the neighbors from getting too near the fire was the fact that there happened to be several boxes of cart ridges Tn the house, the explosions of which prevented any near approach to the building. The loss is about five hundred dollars, without any insur- ance on either the building or contents. As MT. Greer had under contemplation the erection of a new residence, he considers his loss principally on the personal effects in the house. He will rebuild at once.

Since 1878 there have been nine epi- denies of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain s ColIc, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysen- try, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skillful physicians have failed to check it's ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying condition, which proves It to the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.

Change of Time |.

A change in the schedule of time of arrival and departure of mails at this place has been made. The mail from Holbrook now arrives at II a. m. and leaves at D. m. The time at Holbrook is II a. m. for arrival and 3 p. m. for departure. The change was ordered on account of changes in the arrival and departure of mail at Hol5rook, on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad. The change will also prove a great convenience to our citizens, as there will be no loss of time between the arriva! of the mail and departure, it being now possible to answer letters the same day as received, Heretofore, there has been loss of more than sixty hours between the time of arrival here and departure from Holbrook.

 The Coconino Cycling club of Flag staff, Arizona, will conduct it's annual run from Flagstaff to the Grand Canon of the Colorado river on August 19, 20, 2l and ?, 1896, making the start at 6 a. m. August l9. Two days will be spent at the canon and the return trip made on the 22d.
 The distance to the Canyon hotel is about seventy miles and can be madein e1ght or ten hours. The route is via the Grand Canyon stage road, which circles the base of the San Francisco mount aims and passes through the great pine forests of Northern Arizona.
 Owing to the elevation, Flagstaff be- ing almost 7 7,000 feet above the sea, the temperature even in midsummer is low, while the scenery is unsurpassed any where on earth.
 The Coconino club has made arrange ments to furnish all the necessaries, such as board, lodging, etc., at the re- markedly low prlce of S10 for each wheelman. The Atlantic & Pacific rail- road will place the lowest possible rate in effect, and everything points, not only to a pleasant trip, but to a triumph of bicycle enthusiasts. Be a pioneer and join this run and the impressions gained from a view of the Grand Canon will remain until the day you ride your wheel up the golden stairs.
 You are invited to correspond with MT. s. T. Elliott, secretary Ceconinu O cling club, Flagstaff, Arizona, about other details of the rnp, and with the nearest agent of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad regarding rates. etc.
 By sending your name and address to the undersigned, a beautifully illus. trated book of the Grand Canon will be sent free. Yours truly, DON A. SWEET

When wear begins to exceed repsil

When wear begins to exceed repair in your body you are going to fall sick. The signs of it are: loss of flesh. pale ness, weakness, nervousness, etc. The repair needed is food. You think you eat enough, and yet you feel that you wear out more tissue, energy, nerve force. than your food makes for you. The difficulty is that you don't digest enough. And this is so serious it is worth sitting down to think about. If you can't digest what you eat, take a few doses of Shaker Digestive Cord ial. The effect of it will be to increase your flesh and make you feel stronger. You won't fall sick, Proof that it is in control of your repair apparatus. It's easy enough to test this for yourself.

Fort Wingate to Be Rebuilt

Fort Wingate to Be Rebuilt.
 A New Mexican exchange says: 4 private letter from Fort Wingate says the draughtsmen st post headquarters are engaged in drawing plans for the rebuilding of the quarters recently burned. It was thought that the war department would be slow in replacing these buildings. but itappears that both Secretary Lamont and General Miles regard Wingate as so important a mili- t,try station that it was deemed expedi- ent to draw heavily upon the coRtin- gent funds at the disposal of the war department in order to restore the post quarters immediately. It is said that fully S250, 0,C0O will be expended in these improvements. It is understood to be the determination of Colonel Hunt, commanding the post, 70 push the work vigorously, so that the rev quarters may be ready for occupancy before cold weather arrives.
