waterway, this fact alone that the people who first subdued this desert waste constructed a canal down tn1s ridge is proof enough that this is abso- lutely the best natural waterway through that country.
 MT. Harmon began at the corner where the Goodwin ditch turns west two miles south of the end of the south ern branch, and reconstructed this Az tee waterway down to the Daggs cor ner and watered this land and the Cant land for his sheep. Two years later, in 1890, R. G. Goodwin filed on the Zech section.
 Col. Shultz took Valentine Cant out and showed him section 26, as MT. Cant wanted to buy. MT. Shultz showed him the Goodwin ditch which. as has been stated, ended at the cor ner of this section and which was in good condition. But MT. Cant, who was a man of great experience in waterways, both for farming and min ing purposes, and who assisted in building one of the first irrigating ca nals in California, said he could not get water on enough of the land through this ditch and told MT. Shultz he wouldn't buy. He was then shown this Harmon ditch, which was in poor condition and half grown over with brush. On seeing this MT. Cant bought the land on the spot, with all appur- tenances thereto" This was in 1892 The new owner rented the land to the Daggs brothers and went back to Cal ifornia. Fletcher Schureman and R. G. Goodwin put the Goodwin (Zech) section into grain that year and p1owed in the Harmon ditch, none knowing much about waterways. thinking it was nuisance and therefore thinking g MT. Cant would have no objections, they dug a ditch around the corner in order that the Daggs could have water for their sheep. They them selves watered their grain from ditch which they built straight south from the point where the Harmon ditch in tersected the east line, what is now the Yaeger land.

Found her they had, indeed, curled up like child, wrapped in her own pet Navajo blanket, sleeping the sleep of utter exhaustion, and waking only to burst into tears of relief and joy at sight of Grafton's radiant yet haggard face; then reused to instant action by the tidings he bore and gently, but re- proachfully, told her that, though sorely wounded and well-nigh ex- hausted, it was Randy who guided the rescuers to her, and who now lay pros trate and unconscious barely mile away. Then she could hardly wait for them to saddle Mignon-could hardly urge her laboring favorite fast enough to match her mad impatience. It was q sight to move a heart of flint to see her, as with streaming eyes and cOnvul- sive sobs she threw herself from her saddle, and, reckless of them all, knelt and gathered Randy's unconscious head to her bosom, cooing over him, crying over him, praying over him, begging for one word of love and pardon. then showering tears and kisses on his pal lid lips. There was no crime of which the poor child did not accuse herself, for on their hurried way Grafton grave ly told her of Randy's utter innocence and of his own culpability. Not until the radiant sun was nearly an hour high did their patient seem to respond to stimulant or caress; but at last, to her wild joy, he opened his eyes little moment, looked up in her face, whis- pered: Florence - sweetheart" and then seemed to drop away into resist less slumber.

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
CHAPTER IT

About this time trouble began to brew in that otherwise peaceful and happy community. Trouble which cost MT. Cant many tug at the heart strings, many tug at the purse strings, many a tug at the old mares tug and many a mile of travel. Trou- ble that actually threatened to in volve the whole neighborhood. It is a long story and the bottom of it all might be called "The Ditch That Cant Bought
 In 1886 the Goodwin boys went out south of Tempe and constructed a ditch from the end of the southern branch of the Tempe canal two miles south, thence one mile west and thence one mile south. In '8S Lon Harmon rented the section of land which Mir Cant now owns and also the quarter section which is known as the Daggs land and which lies at the southwest corner of the Cant section Mr. liar mon could not get water enough to suit him on the Cant and Daggs land through the Goodwin ditch. so he con- structed ditch of his own.
 For the benefit of those who are not informed it will be stated that the Salt River valley was once inhabited, perhaps by more intelligent race than that which now gains subsistence in it. The handiwork of this extinct race can be seen everywhere cut deep into the surface of the valley or piled conspicuously high above it in the form of great canal systems, through sections which as yet this civilization has utterly failed to water because of it's great elevation; sections, too, which if watered, would be as valuable as any farming or orchard land on earth, in the form of silent, sOmbre ruins of public buildings, homes and work shops. In this district, which is un- der discussion, these proofs of the past are exceedingly numerous and great many pieces of pottery, axes, skele- tons, ornaments, household imple- ments and many other things have been found and are now part of many highly prized collections.
 MT. Harmon discovered an old water way lined with ruins, which takes it's course right down and diagonally through the Yaeger section, across corner of what is now Zech's land, a corner of Gant's section which lies inn mediately west of Zech, diagonally through the Daggs section which is at the southwest corner of Gant's, and diagonally through Miss Seass' quarter section, which is south of the Daggs land. So it is seen that this was diagonal waterway according to the cardinal points of the present day and age and that this dead people con- structed ditches where they would sup ply water to all the land whether it spoiled the appearance of section of land or not. Were there uO other evidences in the case which took place years after MT. Harmon discovered this

The Democratic candidate for Coroner
was born in Salem county thirty years ago.
He was graduated from Medico-C hirugical
College, Philadelphia prof. Pancoast's
college, four years ago, and Immediately
located and began practice of medicine al
Pitman Grove. He has never been can
didate for Office until he accepted the
Democratic nomination for Coroner. While
in no sense politician, he is stannch
Democratic of the Jefferson school, from
staunch Democratic stock. Mr.. Ledden,
the Republican candidate for Coroner, ia
really ineligible for the Office. because as
member of the Board of Chosen Free
holder from Elk Township he would, il
elected Coroner, cast vote to pay the bills
of Coroner Ledden, one and the same
person.
The Office of Coroner is one that should
be filed by a physician if the people are in
clined to have economical county govern
ment. 1t is prominently physicians Office
because many dollars would annually be
saved to the taxpayers if Coroners were able,
byeducation and experience, to hold ipquests
without calling physicians to their aid. We
have no word to say personally sgainst Mr..
Ledden, the Republican candidate. He
will make as competent Coroner as any
other layman, but taxrayers can UNDER
stand that he has no qualifications to fit
him for the most important duties Of this
Office, not to mention his present oficisl con-
nection with the business branch of the

London, Oct. 20-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Times says: Captain
Aunon. the minister of marine. has re-
ceived a dispatch from Manila an
nouncing a naval engagement between
the Americans and the rebels, in con-
sequence of Admiral Dewey forbidding
the latter to fly the rebel flag from
their ships. The dispatch adds that
there were losses on both sides, but
that the Americans captured the rebel
ships. The scene of the engagement is
not stated, but it is supposed to have
been Manila bay
Madrid, Oct. 20.-The cabinet today
forwarded to the Spanish peace COM
missioners at Paris an official dispatch
received from Manila reporting an en-
gagement between the American and
insurgent warships, growing out of the
refusal of Admiral Dewey to allow the
insurgents to fly their flag from their
ships.
Washington, Oct. 20.-As far as could
be ascertained no information regard
ing the reported naval engagement has
been received at the navy department.
The dispatch created considerable in
terest in Washington. Recently the
newspapers contained a statement that
Admiral Dewey had dispatched one or
two of his ships to another position of
the Philippine group on mission of
some Importance. and the suggestion is
made unofficialIy that 1t may have been
these vessels which have been engaged
in combat with the insurgents.
