WHAT WHITELAW REID SAYS.

MT. Whitelaw Reid, who is a good friend of Arizona, said to the writer in New York few days ago that what Phoenix needed most of all to make it a desirable place of residence was a comprehensive drainage system.
 What MT. Reid says in criti- cism of Phoenix ought to carry as much weight as the words he has uttered in praise of this town and this territory. It is time for the energetic people of Phoenix to organize a move ment to improve the sanitary conditions of the city. There is a bill pending in congress that will, when it becomes a law make possible the construction of a complete system of drain age. The city should be ready to take up the work at the earliest possible moment.
 If Phoenix is to become q town of importance it must have drainage and pavements. Capi- tai and population will not seek town that is devoid of public spirit.

Property owners who oppose the graveling of Washington street are standing in their own light. Some of them have been occupying that unen- viable position since they acquired their lucrative holdings. Public senti- ment ought to be exerted against these people. They are not the kind of peo- pie that make a live town.

TWAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Big Rock Wrecked a House Tha
 Was Standing in Its Way.

Lead, S. D., Feb. 1S.-Many narrow escapes have been recorded in the his tory of Black Hills mining, but per haps the strangest case yet to be noted is that which occurred in Spruce gulch, where several men were blast ing some lime rock for the D. & D. shelter, at the top of a hill. A heavy blast was made which sent a dozen or more fragments of rock flying down the hill A big boulder weighing, it is estimated, two tons, crashed through large window of residence near the bottom of the hill, passed through a partition wall and alighted on an iron bedstead, carrying bed and all through the floor into the cellar. A six-months-old baby of A. w. Forbes, an assayer in the cyanide plant, who lives in the house, was completely buried in the debris of the wreck and was severely bruised and cut. The mother and two other chill dren were greatly jared and shocked. Another boulder, weighing, it is esti- mated, fifteen tons, cut wide swath through the pine timber coming down the hill, and, missing the house by a few feet, landed in the creek bed. It passed immediately in front of a pass ing horse hitched to a cart, and still another piece struck the wheels of the cart, breaking out number of spokes. It is considered one of the most re- markable mishaps that ever happened in the Hills.

THE SICK LIST
Most Of the Military Hospitals Badly
Crowded

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-There are now In
the hospitals at Camp Wikoff, Montauk
Point, more than 1900 men. OF these about
800 are In the general hospital and the an
mex. Three hundred are in the hospital in
the detention camp. Many OF those In the
general hospital are improving and some
are now being discharged as we'll every
day. The situation in the hospital is ex-
cellent.
The total number OF typhoid cases Is set
at 225. Some Of the typhoid patients are
being daily removed to New Haven. In
day or so the remaining typhoid patients
will be taken to New York or Boston. The
idea 1s to send the men to the nearest hos
pitfalls until they can hold no moro and thus
make the journey as short as possible.
The Rio Grande will be converted into a
hospital ship for use at Montauk and the
harbors about New York for an indefinite
period. 1t is evident that until more hospi-
tai accommodations are provided on shore,
some of the sick and wounded soldiers will
have to be kept on board the hospital ships
In Fort Pond Bay.

that no solution. even IL 1t involved re-

the relations with the italian government.
