Boise, Idaho, Sept. 25.-News has
reached this city that the stage running
between West Fall, Ore, and Ontario, was
held up at point 80 miles from Ontario.
There were three robbers in sight, but
the driver believes there were more hid
near by. The robbers took the mail sacks
from the stage and rifed them, though
the letters for the most part We're re-
placed. The registered mail pouch was
taken away by the robbers.

NY Fire, Flood and Famine.

Ponce, Puerto Rico, Sept. 25.-Ply-
mouth, the capital Of the island Of Mont
zerrat, reports the destruction by fire Of
many buildings which had escaped the
recent hurricane and most Of the remain
ing ruins were consumed, greatly intensi-
flying the distress of the populace, which
is growing demoralized over the tardy
and inadequate relief. The laborers refuse
to unload the relief cargees unless paid
double.
AT Anguilla 700 inhabitants are wildly
appealing for immediate supplies of water
and food, the recent hurricane having de-
stroyed all the provisions and wrecked
the shops and the habitations and the sea
having wrecked all the wells and rain
cisterns.

Pacific railway in the vicinity oi Casa fsrRnSe md Arizola is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions nf this magnificent Southern Ari- zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. 1t was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like a sutIi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land

 is forty-three miles in length and covers 50 600 acres of land about 1000 of which are under cultivation. 1t is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering i6o0 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal- Ions. in the southeast corner of township 6, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struetiou of huge reservoir at the ButteS fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from S20 to $50 per acre, according to location and lIn- provemants In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with a heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath.
