The ditch is thirteen miles long and will run a considerable body of water, enough to irrigate their entire ranch, without relying on drop from their water right in Clear creek These gentlemen deserve great credit for energy and industry, and are among our most liberal and enterprising res. idents.
 Citizen: A spondent says that Kean St. Charles, the assemblyman from Mohaye county who by long odds is the busiest member of the legislature, has called down upon his head the wrath of all Arizona physi clans. St. Charles introduced bill to abolish the territorial medical board and repeal all legislation on the subject of medical examination, leay- ing the diploma as a warrant to prac- tice medicine. Phoenix phy sicians have taken the initiative in opposing the bill. They bitterly denounce the St. Charles bill, and declare that Ari- zona has toe long been d dumping ground for irresponsible physicians, without making 1t easier for them to gain foothold.

 Globe Times Howard, the butcher, is kicking fate because. he says, just as fast as he gets well his wife gets sick ana vice versa. The ubgrateful chump don't know that the Lord has fixed it that way on purpose so there would always be one we'll one around the house. Some fellows would kick if they had both legs broken.
 Tucson Star: Prof Holmes and wife were out riding yeste' day. While the professor was on the ground ar ranging the harness the animal be- came fractious and started of, run hing over the professor. Mrs. Holmes was subsequently, thrown from the buggy. When picked up she was un- conscious and was immediately taken to the Hotel Hall, where medical treatment was given. It is hoped that nothing serious will result.
 Florence Tribune: A young Mex ican named Eulalio Pizarro was run over by an east. bound freight train near Picscho on Friday of last week and had both legs crushed, He was brought to Florence the following day aud placed in the county hospital, very weak from the loss of blood. Dr. Broadway amputated the lower limbs aud the patient is now getting along nicely. Pizarro's statement Is that he was endeavorlng to steal ride aud was thrown from the moving train by brakeman. He says he laid on the track for several hours aud was picked up by west bound train and left at Casa Grande.
 Florence Tribune: The Gila river is still up and dangerous to ford. At Kelvin wire rope is stretched across the river on which runs a cage for carrying passengers and freight. On Thursday cart was carried over aud an attempt was made to lead horse across. The man iE the cage foolishly tied the halter rope around his body, the other end attached to the horse As the cage started towards the mid. de of the river, the horse begged in the quicksand, the rope became taut and jerked the man out of the cage and it was by the skin of his teeth that he was rescued alive. That historical animal, rhompson's colt, has many prototypes.
 Tucson Star: Special Agent s. J. Holsinger has returned from the Hua. chucas, where he said the snow was three feet. While in the mountains he sojourned with the salvationists who formerly were under the leader ship of Sam DonDelly, deceased, and laid up money from mining, property since secured by Sam Barrow of TomD- stone, and Chas. Wores of Tucson. Mr. Holsinger was well enter tained in the lpmber camp, which has been run by the savatonists. For non.com pIiance with the law, MT. Holsinger ordered suspension of operations and now the operators have saw mill on the market. He said that the Hua- chuca country was exposed to forest fires.

listened TO a dissertation from his lips
on the Utility of Niagara.
Seems as though somebody would
have thought of it before he ended,
II wonder no one hain't. and /
shouldn't wonder a bit if they'd be do
ing it, a-following on my footsteps.
He glared around with an injured air.
This year there's big inducements to
do it. This amt the year for small
fakes" N
At Prospect Point we found Curley
Bowers awaiting us. He was alone, but
explained that his friend was across in
Canada, looking at the river. For my
self he had already begun to seem al
most a myth this singular being who
wanted to go over the Falls. We
three crossed the bridge and stopped
to gaze upon the view. Then on down
the bank of the Canadian side, and
saw there a lonely figure seated upon
a wet rock. and staring fixedly up at
the cataract. Curley approached and
touched him; then with a graceful
wave of his paw, said: Let me make
you gents acquainted" and did so.
Westerman was. as I now remember
him, short and very thickset young
man, in whom the life lay deep. He
appeared to be somewhat stolid, yet at
the same time interested me. The Gu
rious, absent look in his eyes Impress
ed me even then, and he had also I'm
expression which is. I believe. charac-
teristic of those who love daring VEN
lures. If you have ever watched man
about TO try, say, a high dive. you will
know what Westerman's constant
manner was. He spoke very little, and
appeared either sullen or shy. but kept
turning his eyes toward the cataract
above us. Seen from down there. one
could imagine that the waters of all
the lakes were being tipped over upon
one out of the sky; and the clouds
above vanished behind that overhang-
ing brink.
Jaw" remarked Bowers at last,
GIVE us something simpler. Better go
down n take a swim in the whirlpool,
Jake. m let her go at that"
do you really think" l questioned
westerman. that any man could 60
down that place and live?"
WELL replied he, thoughtfully. up
there can't help thinkin' that there d
be a kind of a chance. The American
fall is no good. and besides they've
spoiled IL DRAWN the water off. This
fall here is lower than the American.
and there's lots more water to float
in. and that, l guess, would be my
chance. There's a place up there where
the curve is that I've looked at good
deal Water seems friendlier. somehow.
and II keeps a-goin' over and a-goin'
over so easy" He recovered himself
with an effort and became sullen again.
But I'll tell you what" he added to

20 yes, Of course. Of course, SNittCrs
replied. lie had not been looking o the
Falls. but at Westerman and the rest
of us. Presently he drew me apart.
Well" said he, and cooked his head
on one side like a bird
