FLOOD NEWS.
Some Noticeable changes Along the River
Bank Made by the Flood.

The river Continues to fail, going
down about four more inches last nlgnt,
and as reports from up the river teil
the same story of a fall, there is no &C.
casion for further apprehension.
Ike flood has made noticeable
changes alorg the river bank. Stan
zoe street from the bridge to Seventh
street is once more out of water. but IL
is no longer the narrow ridge 1T used to
be. The waters have washed in the
sand, especially on the east side until
the flats there That were formerly quite
below the level of the railway track
are now on a level with or ABOVE it..
The roadway Immediately to the track
that was below the rails is now sur
faced up even with the track by the
sands.
To the east of the bridge a gap about
100 feet wide was cut, through which
the water was running, as it appeared
little less than one third of the whole
stream. Below ana to the right heavy
sand bars have formed which appe ar
to throw the water through the new
channel, until the river falls very low.
Here is where the water comes in that
races by George G Alenne's HOUSE. like
mill race, although the city engineer
thinks That there are other breaks
further down the American bank
which let the water in. The melon
field over the river that was below the
river level has been loaded up with
sand so that it is now comparative y
high sand dune. In fact number vi
immense sand banks are now visible
on the Mexican side which have some
part in throwing the current over onto
| the American eide.
Gus Tay lor is better off than he was
| before the flood as great bank Of sand
has been washed up against the south
side of his premises The canal to the
east Of Stanton street, is loaded uI
solid with vast tracts of sand so thai
the level of the new ground must be
six leet or more higher than the ole
canal bottom. The canal appears tt

over the ruins of tUeIr jacals, and not a

Chief Hillebrand has a scheme for
giving the boys chance to battle in
the river and at the same time be SO
located that they will not be in plain
view of the passing public. His plan
is for the city to designate a reserva-
ton on the river between the ball
grounds and the water works pump and
allow them to battle there without mo-
| lestation. AS there are no passers
there and no eddies in the river, there
| is no danger of either complaint or
drowning The matter will probably
be brought up at tonight's meeting of
the city council.

A Possible Solution.

After San Diego, Cal man got q
divorce from his wife the other day,
he went home and found her there.
She asked him tn sit down to dinner,
after which she asked him how he liked
the new arrangement.
First rate" he replied, "but can't
exactly understand it, ''Oh that's
all right said she, 1--WE can live this
way in conlentment.
"The other way we quarrel furiously.
Now then suppose you retain me as
housekeeper. Twenty dollars per
month is all l ask"
This seemed to strike the ex-hus-
band favorabiy, and the bargain was
closed on the spot.
The couple have not had q sign of
trouble since, although they were in
hot water for 81 years fretting under
the marital yoke. They dare not quar-
er in the lurch. He must have his
meals cooked and she must have q
place TO stay. Together they are
happy now, and the bargain promises
to last to the end.

was not the case, but that all Chris
