Northwestern VS.. Burlington.

-
Sometime between now and cold
weather the Chicago & North
western railroad will inaugurate q
series of test runs between Chi
cago and Council Bluffs with
view to lowering the record made
by the fast mail trains on the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road, which now holds the trans
continental mail contracts through
Iowa.
The Chicago & Northwestern
road desires to secure these con-
tracts and the regulations of the
postoflice department require that
the Burlington's present schedule
of solid mail trains must be re-
duced 30 minutes each day for z
consecutive days. The Burling-
toms time between Chicago and
Council Bluffs is now 10 hours
and 25 minutes.
The Journal recently printed an
item to the effect that 8 A Morri-
son, of Sioux City, trainmaster of
the new Sioux City division Of the
Northwestern, had made trip of
investigation over the Burlington
mail line to inspect the new facil-
tiles for carrying the mail. This
was preliminary step toward the
efforts that are to be made to
wrest the mail contracts from the
Burlington:
The northeastern line is 12 miles
shorter than the Burlington, but
it is declared by some people that
she latter road has younger engi-
nsers that are capable of more en-
durance and has the largest and
fastest engines in the world. The
Northwestern will spare no money
in coming up to the requirements
for securing the contracts.-Sioux

The Harrison county farmer has
no kick coming this year. Crops
are good, all things considered,
and prices are good. Forty cents
q bushel has been offered for new
corn. Cattle the same; and grain
and hay. In thirty-six years res
idence in Harrison county, we have
not seen such good crops and such
uniformly good prices. The only
failure is the potato crop. The
rains that have fallen in the past
two weeks have changed the pas
lures very much for the better.

now do some thinking along the

ROBINSON CRUsOE LEAVES
Lone Islander of Salt River Goes to
 California.

Emil Marquardt. a German goat raiser who has occupied an island in the bed of the Salt river. about eight miles southwest of the city. has sold his ranch and will leave in few days for Calif,rnia, where he will make his home. There are few people in Phoe- nix ana few visitors who have been here for any length of time who do not know Marquaydt and wao have not visited his place.
 Benurn Cs his erc5n nitric ways Mar quarit has been dubbed Robins m Trusoe, and in many ways he has been a prototype f DeFoe's hero.
 He came tD Phoenix direct from Ger many and bought his place in the river bottom. Here he lived alone with his dogs, goats and chickens. He gradually accumulated a large herd { fine goats and developed quite a profitable business The buildings on his ranch are copied as nearly as pos sible according to the place of the orig nal CrUsoe. He has dozen small buildings. all built on pCles which Idis- the main structures far above the ground Hi. living house is lined and carpsted with AngorI goat skin rugs and it, as well as all of his buildings, gre made weather proof with long strips of tin. labor.uuSlr torn from fruit cans. In one corner of his place he erected a great watch tower. about sixty feet hi . aHI built in skeleton fashirn Cf .u,. -.H,al timber. From this high perch Marquardt watched his herd of goats and allowed visitors, who had sufficiers ,smrrlty. to climb it and view the surrounding country. The tower was thr master piece of Mar quardts work and when a windstorm Lew it down, last summer, he was Glsronsolato.
 In many ways Marqu3rdt is a re- markable character. There Is likely no 3ra in this country more hospitablo than he. and visitors to his place. who have been many. have always received royal treatment. by the lone islander. He had quite a talent for poetry and has written many verses which have shown him Co uCss-ss much ability as a rymster. He never has tried to market his literary brain-warss. but every visi- tor to his place has received few copies of his D. ms.
 Maruuardt has been an absolute monarch in his domain. At various times Indians and MeXicans have caused him trouble, particularly by

EVERYTHING IS WET
Better Supply of Moisture Than
 Known in Years.

Old settlers in the Salt River valley say that not for three years has this region received such a general and systematic soaking as it is at present enjoying, and the end is not yet. For five days the water has been running over the dam, at the head of the canal system, the river is full clear down into the Buckeye country, but best of all the canals are full. From the Arizona canal to the town ditch, every lateral is carrying all the water its banks will permit and many are trying to carry considerable more.
 Every field which las connection with a canal, is soaking day and night, the whole valley has taken on a color of gorgeous green and cannot be recog- nized as the same sunbaked and drouth- stricken district of three months ago. From all over the basin tributary to the Salt river come reports cf very heavy and prolonged rains, so the heavy flow of water may be expected to continue for several days. The canals are bearing the strain very well. At several places the Arizona has gone through it's banks, but the breaks were all small and inconssquental. The smaller canals have broken in a num- Der of races, one of the most serious occurring yesterday in the Marlcopa canal, near Center drive. The roadway, for over one hundred yards, was a foot deep in water, adjacent fields were given liberal baptism, and the bicycle path was wrecked for a dis tance Of several hundred yards.
 The desert is turning into a veritabla garden as result of the rains. There is already an excellent crop of feed and 6 prospect for cuttings of desert hay.
 Signs of spring are manifest, too, on the desert. Wild flowers are to be found in occasional sheltered spcts and in a few weeks the poppies will be in full bloom.
 The dredge which has been at work in the Arizona canal widening it be- tween the head and the cr-sscut canal, finished its work few days ago.

 RED ROCK INVESTIGATION high water of the past few days has in- tcrfered somewhat with the bed rock borngs at Camp Mcdowell. On Sun day the members of the geological sur vey were forced to move their machin- cry to higher ground for safety. They have not stopped work, however, but are prospecting in a locality that would necC ssarily be looked after lt- tie later if the borings in mid-stream proved satisfactory. They are now working in the fourth hole and every thing is moving along as satisfactorily as can be expected under the circum- stances. The peop,e of the valley will be satisfied so long as nothing inter feres with the work, but high water. If the presence of the surveying party will only keep the water up, it will be cheaper to keep il there forever than to build a dam.
 ORANGE BLOSSOMS. -- Andrew Walker and Matilda Essex were mar ried last night at the residence of the brides sister Mrs Skaggs, on Wash ington street just east of Seventh. Rev. Maxwell was the officiating clergyman. only a few of their inti- mate friends were present, but that included the major part of the aristo- cratic colored society of the city, and a number of ladies and gentlemen of Caucasian birth. The bride came here about a year ago from Topeka, Kas. The groom Is well known in Phoenix, having lived here for the last nine years. during which time he has been a trusted employe of the best families of the city, and is now in charge of the, National Bank of Arizona from 4 o'clock every afternoon till the safe is opened in the morning. The wedding was brilliant event in colored society. the decorations were profuse and there was wedding supper that made an ordinary banquet look like a second table.
