AN EARLY MORNING FIRE.
A One Story Residence Burned
 Saturday

Another fire WIS added to Pine Bluffs already long list of blazes Saturday morning. This time Mrs. A. c. Womble, of Little Rock, and J. c. Gibson of this city suffered.
 The fire was first discovered about 2 o'clock and had gained such headway, that it was impossible for the fire departments, which responded promptly, to do any good, except in saving adjoining proper5y. The burned residence was situated at No. 1014 West Third avenue and was occupied by Ex Jailer J. c. Gibson and family. It was a one-story affair and owned by Mrs Alice c. Wo.~ blc, of Little Rock. Only small amount of the household effects were saved, and that by neighhors and the fire boys.
 Both the residence and household goods were partially insured. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Now IS Pine Bluffs opportunity to show what she can do in the way of bringing thousands of people to her midst and at the same tune have big demonstration that would surDass anything aver at- tempted in this Stare.
 We were reliably informed Satur- day that while en route to Las Vegas, New Mexico, where Teddy" Roosevelt will go to attend a re. unior of his famous Rough Riders he will pass through Pine Bluff over the Cotton Belt road. He will be accompanied by Gen. Joe Wheeler, Ex-Senator Chauncey Depew, Col. Niback and several other prominent notables, whose names alone are wonderful drawing cards.
 The party will leave New York City in about three weeks and pro- ceed South in a special car Our informant is reliable and he tells us that they will come over the Cotton Belt from St. Louis.
 Now what we would suggest to Pine Blufians is to hold a meeting immediately, appoint committees, and do everything that would suc- ceed in influencing the notable party to remain in Pine Bluff one day or more. By running excur- sions from every direction, the rail- roads would succeed in bringing thousands of visitors here. An invitation would be extended the State officials who would attend without hesitation and thereby increase the list of attractions.
 l. is Pine Bluffs opportunity, and the greatest one that has eyer pre- scented itself. The Commercial League and Business Mems Ex- change could do the work. Let US near from them.

Notwithstanding the scarcity and in many instances total absence of water. the hills and mountains and plains and plateaus are fairly alive with birds, wild animals and the most polsonous reptiles.

Digging for water is more profita. ble sometimes than digging for gold in the KIondike. Prospecting for water and developing wells is be- coming quite profitable industry in this section, and several prospec- tors have already "struck it rich. !" East of which IS sa.d by some to be next door to Hades- where no water was supposed to dwell, well-contractors at depth of 300 feet struck an apparently in- exhaustiole supply of water The flow is s0 great that experts @ho have investigated it, believe that an underground iake has been discov- cred. In developing this supply of water the contractors have cleared about $50, ,00O
 Another "ricb find" was made iu Southern California, where a we'll borer undertook a contract to re- ceiye $100 an itch for every inch of water, if not less than 50 inches were developed. In case of failure he was to get nothing. He struck a big flow of water and will receive over $10, 1000 for a few months work.
 Near San Bernaraino, Cal, an : other remarkable flow was discover ed. At depth of about 300 feet water gushed up like rom a geyser, and the owner of the well has leased part Of the water to Riverside water company, for the summer season, at the rate of $60 a day.
 These discoveries go to confr ID the contention that much of much of this country is underlined by subterranean rivers and lakes. Water can be found most anywhere at depth of about 300 feet, and at Alamogordo, N. M., at a depth of twenty and thirty feet. The possi- bility of irrlgating ranches on the desert plains by boring wells and installing wind mills is now being seriously discussed. This, believe. will be possible and practicable In some sections at least. Certain it is that if sufficient quantities Of water for irrigating purposes are ever discovered, this section will surpass in fertility the famed valley of the Nile.
