CITY AND COUNTY,

A-
 Mir. James Grogan, inventor of the patent furnace for boilers, who has re- gently been in Yavapai county, is now at CrIttenden, having come down from Fools Gulch this week.
 The acting chairman of the board of supervisors has issued circular de- nouncing as fraud a sample ballot which has been put in circulation. The face was all right but the in- struction on the back had been "cooked."
 Star: Said a man sitting in barber chair last night speaking of a certain saloon with gambling house annex, ''they are the worst set of robbers in Arizona. Why, half the fellers in there get up in the night, break open their own valises and trunks and hide the contents so they can hardly find them the next morning. l belong there myself and I'm busy now trying to break myself of stealing my own property"
 At Tucson the early part of next month grand concert will be given in which Prof. and Mrs. Castillo for merly of Nogales, will take promi- nent part. Mrs. H. K. Chenoweth of Nogales, lady of brilliant musical att tainments, and the possessor of mag nificent voice, exceptionally cultivated and one of the most popular ladies of southern Arizona, has consented to lend her valuable assistance to the success of the occasion.
 Star: Capt. R. W. Gray, master me chanic at the Southern Pacific shops in Tucson, rendered his resignation Monday. No action has so far been taken as to the appointment of his successor. It is said though that the new master mechanic will probably be a man named French, of Bakersfield, Cal. The name of P B. Zeigler, of this city, is also mentioned in connec- tion with the place. Capt. Gray has occupied this position many years and is said to have been one of the most efficient men in the mechanical de- partment of the railway company.
 Tucson Star: Early Sunday morn q Mexican, recent importation from Guaymas, raided the till at Congress Hall in a bold and nearly successful manner. The bar tender had gone in- to rear room to serve the drinks when the Mexican went behind the bar and begun to gather in the days receipts. The bar tender returned just in time to see him running out into the street. An accurate descrip- tion of the thief was given Officers Oakes and Sullivan and couple of hours later they found him at the San Xavier bar. As one officer entered one door he ran out of another into the arms of the other policeman. His pockets were bulging with silver. The contents of the drawer amounted to about thirty dollars. The thief had time to spend seven dollars.

An Admiral who Is seasick.

"The belief that naval men and
sailors generally are never seasiok, .
said an officer on one of the big war
ships anchored off Stapleton, lis a
mistake. There are men holding
high rank in our navy today, one of
whom. by the way, is an admiral,
who are invariably seasick on their
first cruise after shore duty. One
sue officer is always laid up for two
or three days on his first cruise, and
he is too i'll to attend to his duties.
Every one in the navy knows
this weakness of the officer to whom
/ refer. He has tried various pre-
ventives of seasiokness, and expe-
rience has taught him that they do
him no good. He gave them up long
ago, and in recent years he has be-
gun his cruises with the certainty
that for two or three days he would
be deathly sick, and in no case has
he been disappointed. have seen
old sailors so seasiok that they
couldn It work, and ! have come to
the conclusion that there are many
men who never can conquer their
weakness in this direction, no matter
how much time they pass aboard
ship. New York Sun

CONTROL OF The oRINoco.
Punta Barima Is an Important but Not /
vital Point.

/ Vital EOlmCs
To comprehend fully what the
control of vast waterway thread
ing the richest part of Guiana would
mean to America and American in
terests one must study carefully the
map of South America. Geographers
divide the southern continent into
three great basins, those of the Anna
7on, the Orinooo and the Plata. To
dominate the mouth of any one of
these great arteries of commerce
would be to become the master of
third of South America. The
Orinoco is navigable for vessels of
the deepest draft to Ciudad Bolivar,
Venezuela's eastern metropolis.
Within this distance of 400 miles 20
other navigable rivers swell the
mighty current of the Orinoco, while
still farther into the interior the
eastern bank receives the waters of
81 large rivers, and the west those
of 80. Two of the former are navi-
gable to the affluents of the Anna
zon, and many of the latter to the
remote interior of the neighboring
republics of Venezuela and Colon
bia
If she we're to gain control of the
Orinoco, England would possess the
key to the entire eastern part of
South America. This view has been
advanced by ex-President Guzman
Blaneo in recent publication. He
attaches to the possession of Punta
Barima the ability to dominate the
Orinoco and the entire water system
which empties into it. Punta Bari
ma is on the southeastern bank of
the Orinoeo, at it's junction with the
sea, and is described as high bluff
which, when properly fortified.
would control this entrance, the
most navigable of all the mouths of
the Orinooo.
It would not be under water dur
ing the period of inundation, and,
with a dookyard and three or four
river gunboats, its master might lock
up the Orinoco and all that vast
tributary country. On the other
hand, the counter view is advanced,
and should be stated, that the posi-
ton of Punta Barima would enable
the English to dominate only one
pass by means of guns placed on
Notifications on shore, since at least
two of the other mouths of the Ori-
noco can be entered by vessels from
the sea.
The best line of communication
today between Trinidad and Ciudad
Bolivar is by sidewheel steamer,
built in the United States, which
passes through mouth of the Ori-
noco far to the west of Punta Bari
ma, on the bar of which there is at
least eight feet of water. 1t there.
fore may be argued that fortifioa-
tions at Punta Barima could not
close the Orinoco, the control of
which would depend upon vessels of
war England's strength as a sea
power, with Trinidad as a base,
gives her all necessary control of
the river today, If British Guiana
should develop into great nation,
claiming and owning one bank of
the Orinoco, Punta Barima would
become a point of great Importance,
but this is contingency hardly to
be dreaded by Venezuela, since, with
her superb natural advantages, she
must inevitably keep the lead. w.
