High Water in Fall River

Fred Haines, of the Elkhorn en-
cheering corps, is in the city, en-
gagged in surveying for the extension
of the road to the smelter, and plan
ming for addition al side tracks.
In conversation with a reporter
for the Union Review, he stated
that he was on the train Tuesday
morning from Hot Springs, and says
that the bridge at the crossing Of
Fall river was slightly damaged by
high water, but nothing Of a serious
nature. The water washed out a
portion of the foundation Of one pier,
causing it to settle few inches as
the train passed over. The rails
we're twisted slightly, but workmen
we're able to repair all damages be-
fore the next train was due.

Rev Solandt After the Saloons

A. Lead special has the following
regarding the efforts OF Rev. ]. A.
Solandt to compel the saloons of that
city tocomply with the law: "a
short time ago Rev. j. A. Solandt,
OF the Congregational church
circulated a petition among the yo-
tsrs Of the city asking that the sa-
looms conform to the law. The
mayor and the city council failed to
take action on the matter, although
there were about 1900 names to the
petition. Rev. Mr.. Solandt then
sent the petition to Attorney Gen.
eral Pyle, and for several weeks
nothing was heard Of the matte

MURPHY QUIER

MURPHY SQUIER. At the Catholic church in
Rapid City, Wednesday morning. Rev. FIR.
Quinlan officiating, John =. Murphy. OF Big
Bend, and Miss Mary NJ. SQuier OF Pactola.
At z o'clock yesterday morning
the solemn words were spoken which
united in the holy bonds of wedlock
two young people we'll and favorably
known in Rapid City. The affair
was quiet one, only the contracting
parties and few intimate friends
being present. The newly married
couple left at once for the home Of
the brides parents at Pactola.
The groom is quiet, unassuming
young man, of exemplary habits,
who came to Rapid City about three
years ago, from Chicago, and who by
his uniformly courteous manners
has won for himself the respect and
esteem of all with whom he has come
in contact. For the past year or
more he has been in charge of the
business cf August Roesler, of the
Big Bend Mining company, and en-.
joys the full confidence of that gen
tleman.
The bride, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Squier, needs no introduce
ton to Rapid City people, having
grown to woman's estate from child
hood among our people. Admired
by all for her many winning ways
and amiable disposition, one and all
join in the wish that her welded life
may be one of unalloyed happiness
and contentment.
This young couple start in life
with the best wishes of a large circle
of friends for their future prosperity
III which the Union-Re heartily
joins.

Solandt, stating that the petition of
1000 names had been sent to the at
torney general of he state, who rad
failed to attend to it. Gov. Herried
answered Mr.. Solandt immeditely,
saying that the matter would be at
tended to as soon as possible. Pyle
was sent out here by Gov. Herried.
He made examination of the saloon
conditions in both this city and
Deadwood and found that the claims
made in the petition about minors
entering the saloons, bawdy women
frequenting them and many other
things correct.
attorney General Pyle stated
that he had nothing to do with the
prosecution of liquor cases, it being
his duty merely to look after the
cases after they getinto the supreme
court.
"Rev. Mr.. Solandt is backed by a
majority of the voters in the city and
BY the Homestak company. APP
peals have been made to every person
and party with official power to COM
pei the saloon men to comply with
the law. The grand jury will next
be tried, Rev. Mr., Solandt asserts
that it costs more every month to
pay the hired help in the saloons
than it does to run the city schools,
with the Hearstkindergarten thrown
in,n

Still in Demand.

Notwithstanding the many thou
sand head of Texas cattle shipped to
this aection this spring, and the fur
ther fact that the season for ship
ping cattle north has virtually closed,
Urmston, Baird & Patterson are
still unloading their stock at this
point, and one of their representa-
tives here Informed the Union
Review that 50 far they had expert
enced no trouble in disposlng of all
their Texans at good figures, in fact
were unable at the present time to
supply the demand for their stock
A trainload arrived Monday, con-
tanning 466 head, which were eagerly
sought after and disposed of at once.
The grade Of Texas stock being
shipped here this year is exception
ally good, and the prospect of an un-
usually fine range next winter makes
cattlemen anxious to secure as many
of these cattle as possible.

Yesterdays Storm.

About three o'clock yesterday
afternoon Rapid city was visited by
a heavy rain, accompanied by hail.
The rain fell in torrents for the space
of an hour, converting the streets
into veritable rivers.
Considerable damage was done to
easements and sidewalks, and to the
Harvey, where workmen were en-.
gagged in putting on a new roof-a
portion of the old one removed for
that purpose-the carpets, linen and
furniture suffered to considerable
extent. A large amount of glass was
also broken here, as we'll as in Other
portions of the city. The Rapid
River flour mill had almost all the
glass broken on the east side. The
storm appeared to be in greater
force along the northern portion OF
the city. Many houses in the south
part Of town escaping without the
loss of any glass. From party
coming in from Brennan in the eve
ming. we learn that the storm ex
tended but a shoot distance south
What damage, if any resulted tt
crops we were unable to learn, bu

At the New Smelter

Through the courtesy OF Professor
Knutzen, Union-Review represent
alive was shown about the works
at the smel,er yesterday morning.
Contractor Parrish is working a
large force of men and twenty-fonr
teams on grade work at the new
smelter, and is making good pro-
gress. Some changes have been
made in the plans for excavation
necessitatlpg considerably more
grading than originally planned for.
Work was commenced Monday on
the huge stack to carry the dust
and fumes from the building. The
masonry for the foundation, which
is on the summit of the hill just
south of the smelrer, is now under
way, and will be thirty feet in diam
eter, of octogon shape, the walls
being 1O4 feet thick at the base,
resting on asolid foundation OF stone
and cement, which will exclude wa
ter and air from the shale beneath,
thus preventing it from stacking and
becoming infirm. The masonry ex'
tends to a height of twenty-five feet,
from which point steel piping will be
used. This portion OF the stack will
be twelve feet in diameter where it
rests on the masonry, tapering
gradually to nine feet at the top.
The thickness of this steel pipe va
ries from 6ve-eights of an inch at
the base to ive-sixteenths at the top,
and will be an immense structure
when complete. From the main
building to the stack proper, will be
constructed an air chamber of solid
masonry 16x18 feet inside, and con-
nected with stack by means OF
large arch. This air chamber is
something over 400 feet in length,
making combined flue Of nearly
six hundred feet from the smelter
to the top Of the stack. Water for
the convenience If the laborers is
carried to the top of the hill by
means of pipes connected with the
water system at the old chlorination
plant, connections having been
made and water brought to the scene
of operations yesterday morning.
A road of easy grade has been con
structed to the summit of the hill for
the purpose Of hauling rock, sand,
pipe and other necessary material for
construction Of the stack, and every
thing is now ready for pushing the
work to early completion. The com
pany has we'll equipped assay office
in operation, with Assayor Rogers in
charge, which will be added to and
improved as occasion demands.

MISSION INDIANS OUSTED
Their Title to Land Under Mexican
 Grant Invalid

A Washington dispatch says that in the cases of Barker and Quevas vs. Harvey, the United States Supreme Court has passed upon the rights of the California Nilsson Indians to hold land upon which they have lived when their claims are in conflict with those of persons claiming unconfirmed Mex ican land grants.
 Harvey, as an administrator, claim ed title under a grant i'll San Diego county, confirmed in 1880, and brought suit to establish the status of Barker, Ouevas and other Indians who claimed to have been on the land long prior to the making of the grants in 1880.
 The California Supreme Court de- cided that the Indians had no standing in view of the recognition by the gov ernment of the validity of the Mexican grant, and that decision was confirm ed by this opion.

IMPERIAL PROGRESS

The new town of Imperial, in what has been miscalled the des- ert, has sprung into existence with most of the appurtenances of an up-to-date city, and what it now lacks 1t is soon to have. It has weekly newspaper, tele- phone line, justices court, a hotel appropriately named the Diadem, a postoffice and the material for a church including the minister and his salary. The enterprise that has done all this cannot be too highly commended. and as all appreciation of its excellent showing, the county should give Imperial all it asks, including the best stage road in the state. San Diego Union.
 A railroad might easily have been added, for including it the county would not be giving Inn perial an equivalent to what the enterprise at the back of 1mpe- rial will give the county. The benefits to be reapcd from the Inn perial country by San Diego will 20 into the millions more than once.

FIRST ORANGE ORCHARD IN THE
 IMPERIAL COUNTRY

All doubting Thomases as to the fertility of the soil of the Inn peria1 country may see visible evidences that would make the most skeptical enthusiastic by visiting that part of the country about Blue lake, eight miles southwest of town.
 MT. George Laurence and MT. Storms were here from the lake last Saturday, and to the ques- tion "what is there growing at Blue lake," MT. Laurence replied ''Mr. Vanderpoel has four or five hundred orange trees, and we also have near thousand pepper trees, number of black berry vines and some garden truck, all doing well. Orange trees, which were set-oat without a twig on them, had limbs two inches in length, by actual meas urment, in ten days after plant ing"
 MT. Storms said he never saw blackberry vines thrive in any country as those planted there.
 MT. Laurence is an old-timer in this country, having been on the desert for the past ten years. He also told of cotton stalk on the desert in Lower California which Is remarkable on account of its age. "The stalk, "he said, lis seven years old, and is still living and turns off an enormous amount of very fine cotton each year. The old stalk is cut off and a new one springs up from the roots each year, growing to a height of from four to five feet" /"

BIG GOID DREDGER
Extensive Placer Operations on the
 the Colorado River Above Yuma

The rapid and extensive rise which has taken place in the Colorado river within the last two weeks has relieved the big gold dredger of the Advance company, which has suffered an en- forced idleness of several months on account of the low stage of the river that has prevailed ever since the machine reached the Potholes, says vened to prevent the machine from reaching the gold bearing gravel banks it is proposed to dredge. The work of getting through this obstruction pro- gressed slowly, however, until the last big fall, which left the dredger high and dry. Then there was nothing for it but to wait for high water. That has arrived, and operations will soon begin.
 The mammoth dredger-one of the largest ever built ill the United States is a model gold saving machine, while the scenes of its operations is one of the richest placer sections ever discovered anywhere-a fact which has been demonstrated through fifty years of successful operations by the most primitive of hand methods, operations which always of necessity ceased when the water line was reached, as it was impossible to save the gold which lay under the water Every indication pointed to the conclusion that if bed rock could be reached and cleaned in the gulches proper the yield of gold would be enormous. This was accomp- lished ill one or two instances, but at very great expense, and then for only a brief period was it found possible to overcome the flow of water, which was done by means of pumps. Exten- sive tests as to conditions and values showed that the dredger was the logic al and economical way of saving the values hidden here and it is confident ly expected that the operations now beginning will carry out and prove the deductions based upon those tests.

CARLSON'S RAILROAD From San Diego to Yuma via Im-
 perlaI Will be Built # the People of San Diego Want it and Carlson Has the Money With
 Which to Build 1t

w. H. Carlson, ex-mayor of San Diego, has been trying to build a railroad from San Diego to Yuma, crossing the Colorado desert through what is now the Imperial settlement, since 1888. He now definitely announces, through telegram from New York to Mayor Frary at San Diego, that he has completed all ar arrangements, and will in reality build the road, and will build it at once, provided the city council of San Diego will make good his franchise on the bay front.
 According to current press re- ports, it has now developed that the Southern Pacific company is back of MT. Carlson, hence the road is practically certainty if Carlson gets what he wants in the way of franchises. While it is perfectly right and proper that the council should exercise good judgement and sound busi- ness sense in this matter, the fact remains none the less true that everybody in that city, and in the county as well, are anxious to see the road built, almost re- gardless of what 1t may cost or of what sacrifice may be neces- sary thereto, and as this Is a chance of perhaps life time for San Diego to make sure of the Imperial country as tributary to her resources the city dads should consider well before refusing to grant MT. Carlson's request. The road is certainly wanted and needed toe much to be parcial as to who builds it, and we believe that the citizens of San Diego want the road more than they want the water front selected by MT. Carl son.
 He asks for sixty days fran chise, in which he proposes to produce sufficient evidences that the road will be built; however, MT. Carlson will have to show his ability to build a railroad be- fore there will be any definite action on the part of the council in his favor.
 At special meeting of the council Tuesday night a joint committee was appointed to deal with Carlson through the Cham. her of Cornunerce committee
