 Yesterday was the twentieth anni- versary of the beginning of the hard est rainstorm that any white man ever saw in this valley. Old pioneers who had come from every part of the coun- try said they had never seen it rain so hard anywhere else. The storm continued two or three days and the country was thoroughly deluged That was the last rainy season that ever oc- cured in the valley at this season of the year. The Indians then living here said they had never seen any thing like it.
 M. Lehman and Ike Snellenburg of Philadelphia, who have added a great deal to the liveliness of the Hotel Ad- adms and Castle Creek hot springs for the last three months, left last night for home Their many friends were lonesome even in anticipation of their departure and arranged an orchestral programme of two numbers last night The Hotel Adams orchesta played a few minutes before they left for the depot, There's Only One Girl in This World for Me" and 3'The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" The first was in honor of MT Lehman and the latter of Mir. Snellenburg. Both are supposed to have reference to cer- tain events in the career of both gen tlemen during their residence in Phoe- nix.
 great many people had not mo- ticed it before but their attention was unpleasantly directed to it yesterday, that the sprinkling carts were not in operation. On inquiry they learned that the streets are not sprinkled on Sunday at all. They wanted to know upon what business theory sprinkling carts, drivers and horses are permit ted to observe the Sabbath when other people have to go on living the same as ever; railroads cannot afford to stop and well regulated daily news papers can have no rest. There was a concensus of opinion that if the sprinkling wagon must have a day of rest it should lay off in the middle of the week, for Sunday of all days should be made as pleasant as pos sible. All the sprinkling wagons in America could not have prevented the dust storm of yesterday, but the two or three of them that Phoenix owns ,. A week ago The Republican, ex- blaming to it's Phoenix contemporaries why the divers on the Maine could not work when it rained. described the conditions i'll Havana harbor, which prevented it. The following from the English historian, James Anthony Froude, presents much more vivid description of the horrible grave which. holds 80 many of the Maine's brave men: ''The city. as we steamed by, looked singularly beauti- | full with it's domes and steep1es and marble palaces ard the glimpses of i long boulevards and trees and hand some mansions and cool arcades. In side we found ourselves in a basin of perhaps three miles in diameter, full of shipping of all sorts and nationali- ties The water, which outside is as pure as sapphire, has become filthy with the pollutions of a dozen genera tions. The tide, which even at the spring has a rise and fall of but a couple of feet, is totally ineffective to clear 1t, and as long as they have the i Virgin Mary to pray to the piOus | Spaniards will not drive the sewage i into the ocean. The hot suns rays stream down into the thick. black | liquid. Horrible smells are set loose from it when it is set in motion by a screw or paddle, and ships bring up at mooring buoys, lest their anchors should disturb the compost which lies | at the bottom''
 1 The difference between improved and unimproved property is illus l trated in things that have been hap pening in Linville's addition. A ] couple of months ago Col. J D. Mon | ihon bought the old Linville residence and twenty acres of ground surround 1 ing it. The house. which was built 9 few years ago at a cost of $15,000, was almost obscured by cottonwo0ds and other ill-kept trees. There was an
