VARPoN FISHING.



Thrilling sport In the world.
A Texas sportsman. in Forest and
Stream. gives an account of an exciting
experience while fishing for tarpon in
Galveston bay. He says:
AS had made my arrangements To
return to Houston mt o'clock. ! told
the boatman that il he would give me
one more fresh mullet l would bait the
hook, and, when that was taken. we
would go in. He gave me the mullet

To start when / threw my bait over
board. had not got three feet from the
boat before there was a mighty splash.
Water was thrown all over me. and my
mullet was taken by tarpon. was
scarcely prepared for him. but at the
same time prevented his getting too
much line. and the reel sang the pref
test kind Of song. until he had gone
about so feet, that l ever heard. At
this distance he jumped ut least 10 feet
out Of the water. and. finding l had
him safe. gave him no more slack
v hatever. He turned Immediately out
the channel to sea against the tide and
continued his rapid gait. jumping clear
Of the water every 100 feet or so until
he had jumped nine times. He kept up
the pace until he had gone miles to
sea and into very deep water.
II had no control Of him whatever,
and he had taken ON several occasions
during this outward sea movement
nearly all my line, ut least $50 feet
After this distance he turned to the left
and went at least . miles, until he
got into or feet Of water. Then
he turned back across the channel and
went ON the opposite side Of it. probably
IL miles. After ga hours he went
back into water 81 or 4 feet deep. and
l had some hope Of getting him into
water where l could gaff him. But.
without warming. he turned to sea again
and did not stop until he had gone l y
miles This fish took us around over
the bay for 51s hours. and distance OF
not less than II or Is miles / found

THE CANON CANAL.
The Great Reservoir South of
 Town to Be Built.

For several weeks the directors of the St. Johns Irrigation company have been quietly at work getting matters in shape for the commencement of work on the proposed new reservoir. During this time careful surveys were made by Engineer Stafford, who prepared plans and drafted maps of the work accord ing to the land office requlreme ts. For the purpose of meeting the expense , of constructing the dam and making a canal to carry the water around the mesa to the south and west of town, the capital stock of the irrigation con- pany h as been increased to 10000 shares at par value of Sl0 each.
 The promoters of this enterprise were further encouraged by donation made by the authorities of the Mormon church amounting to S5,000. It is now believed that the resources of the com- pany are ample enough to insure that work can be carried on this winter with out halt or break of any kind, The situation being so encouraging, the di- rectors felt justified in putting force of men at work last Monday morning, under the charge of Joseph o. Strad- ling,
 At the point where the dam is to be located the width of the canon is 16O feet. It is proposed to build an em- bankment of earth faced with rock work. The masonry will be seventy feet thick, and will be backed by earth for 100 feet more, making the tolal | thickness of the dam TO feet. The height of the dam will be forty. four feet. Two outlets are to be provided, twenty-four by twenty-four inches each and are to be placed side by side and constructed in limestone cement. The capacity of the reservoir will be 1S,0OO acre feet. Some idea of the body of water to be impounded may be con- ceiv d when it is stated that while this reservoir is located about a mile below the present large reservoir, that the water will be twenty feet higher than the top of the embankment of the old reservoir.
 The entire work, including the dam and ditch, are to be finished this win ter, and enough water, including the old reservoir near town. will then be at the disposal of the irrigation company sufficient for watering 20,000 acres of land at St. Johns and vicinity.
 This will be enough to support more than double our present population. It is expected that next spring we will certainly see an influx of new people, and this valley will be permanently settled by good class of citizens.

PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Howard Withr0W and Rafael
 Ruiz at Large.
IFheniX Herald.1


 Yesterday afternoon commitments were issued from the district court for four prisoners sentenced by Judge Baker to terms in the territorial prison at Yuma, ,and Sheriff Orme turned the prls- oners over to Sheriff Mel Greenleaf of Yuma, who was about to start for home after short visit 10 Phenix, and that officer left on the NJ. & P. train last night with the prisoners en route for Yuma. At Maricopa it was necessary to spend the night, the train from the east beiug several hours late.
 This morning when the officerround- ed up his prisoners he found that two of them were missing. One of them, How ard Withrow, sentenced to five years and nine months on charge of burglary, is known as a desperate character, and from the fact for several months he carried on the work of stealing horses, wagons and everything else that was left tout doors in Phenix or Tempe, he was a dangerous man to be at large. The other escape was Rafael Ruiz, sen- I tenced for six years for grand larceny.
 As soon as the escapes became known the officers started an Indian and Mex ican on horseback out on a hunt for them and notified Sheriff Orme of this city. The trallers returned about ten o'clock without having succeeded in finding trace of the men, who were on foot on the desert.
 As soon as possible, Sheriff Orme started for Maricopa, where he will join in the chase.
 It seems hardly possiblethat the men will succeed Tn eluding the officers for any length of time, as all places where they can get water will be watched and they will soon be forced from cover un- less they succeed in getting horses, when they may get across the line into Mexico.

A tired stomach is very much like a sprained ankle. If you suffer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stomach is tired. It needs a crutch. We must relieve it of all work for a time, or until it is restored to its nat ural strength. To do this successfully, we must use food which is already di- gested outside of the body, and which will aid the digestion of other foods that may be taken With it. Such pro- duct is the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 The Shakers have utilized the diges- tive principles present in plants for the manufacture of this article, and it's success has been truly phenominal You can try 1t for the nominal sum Oi of 10 cents, as sample bottles are sold by all druggists at this price.
