New Fort Ap.cn. Road Completed.

Surveyor A. c. Pendleton, who has had charge of the construction of the government wagon road from the saw mill on the Indian reservation to Fort Apache, rel urned home on Tuesday, the road having been finished on March l.
 Work WIS begun on December 8 and progressed. without hindrance from bad weather, with force of about l30 In- dians employed. James Broderick, of Globe, who has had much exper- fence in such work, had charge of the rock gang.
 Some changes will have to be made in grades on the old portion of the road between Rice and the sawmill, which will soon be undertaken by Mir. PendletOn. Then there will be a first class road for teaming all the way from Rice, on the G. V., G. & N. rail- road, to Fort Apache, distance of fifty miles, and most of the hauling for Fort Apache will doubtless be trans ferred from the northern route from Holbrook, which is ninety miles over road almost impossible four months of the year, to the new road from Rice, Globe Silver Belt.

IRRIGATION SCHEME
h Which Churches are Interested Promoters are said to be Church
 Officials of all Denominations.

A press report from Guthrie, Okla homa says: A gigantic irrigation scheme is announced by J. s. Stewart of Louisville, Ky, who now is in NickersOn, Kan, in the interest of the company. It consists of damming the Verde River, about l5 miles north of Phoenix, Ariz., for the purpose of ir- rigating the arid bottom lands along the river.
 The man at the head of the enter prise is to be H. H. Hudson of Cincin- nati, and the rest of the promoters are church officials, representing the diff erent denominations.
 At the point where the dam is to be placed there are said to be many acres of land that can be taken under the Desert Land laws" The building of the dam will involve thousands of dollars and require months to com plete.
 When the dam is completed, MT. Stewart says, it will create body of water about four miles wide, l50 feet deep, and back this up the river for a distance of seven miles. He stated work has commenced on the dam and that it will be completed by the middle of next summer.
 The proposition of the company is that men are to go to Arizona, settle on the lands that belong to the gov ernment, and pay the company at the rate of s20 an acre for the right of ir- rigating from the reservoir, the s2O to pay for irrigating one acre for 20 years and payable at any time within 20 years: for $40 and so on.
 The money with which to build the dam is furnished by the company probably by the different church de- nominations, and the money derived from selling water rights will be, MT. Stewart says, put into mission funds of the different churches of America.

SEVERE ATTACK or GRIP
Cured by One Bottle ef chsmberIsln's
 Cough Remedy.

"When had an attack of the grip last winter (the second One) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take dose and it seem- ed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass of and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and it's accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agree able surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because l had never tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less severe, and had not used the contents of one bottle before MT. Grip had bid me adieu.' For sale by all druggists.

he insisted on the mass meeting TAX

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Mechanism Brothers Harness Manu-
facturY Burned.
A Complete Loss, Amounting to
$4,000, With $4,000 Insur-
ance.-origin Unknown.

The large tannery and leather and
harness manufactury of McClanahan
Bros, located on Eighth street, was
completely destroyed by fire Saturday
about at O'Clock. The loss is placed
at about $1,000, with s., 900 insurance.
Nothing is known as to the origin of
the conhagration, as the entire establish
ment was in flames when the fire
department arrived on the scene. From
the statement of those first to arrive,
however, 1T was evident that the fire
originated in the main building. There
had been no fire at all in this part of
the establishment for several days. Mr..
L. w. McClanahan was in the building
until eleven clock last night prepar-
ing goods for shipment. The owners are
completely at sea as to how the fire
could have started. Neither of them
have any enemies that would burn them
out.
The property consisted of the build
ings, machinery, tools, etc. valued ar
about So 600, and the firm had in stock
about 81, 600 worth of finished goods and
81, 900 worth of hides. Insurance was
carried with Gordon Il fowler in the
Hanover Insurance Co., to the amount
of ST. 900, and with Alf Nicholson III the
Home Insurance Co., to the amount of
81 900
The firm is composed of Messrs. w.
T. ana l.. w. McClanahan, and their
abishment was one of the most flour
ishing in the city. They had built up
considerable reputation and an extensive
trade, not only in this State but in 9th
err States, for their goods, and to-day re-
ceived orders for goods from Nashville
and other cities aggfegating nearly
$1,000.
They will rebuild their plant at once
and continue in business. There were
many expressions of sympathy for the
FIRMS misfortune heard on the streets
Saturday.

BAXTER BILL
TO BE REJECTED.
Tennessee CentraI's President
Loses HIS Hard Fight Before
Senate Railroad Commissioners
by a Vote of 9 to 2.

Nashville, March 2S.-Both of the
Baxter railroad bills will be recon-
mended for rejection by the Senate Rail
road Committee. 1t was so decided at
a meeting of the committee late Friday
afternoon by vote of 8 to 2, all of the
members being present and only Messrs.
Stewart and Adams voting against the
recommendation
These two gentlemen saw the trend OF
affairs within a few minutes after the
committee was called to order, and
made an effort to either have action de-
ferred, the bills reported back TO the
Senate without recommendation. or, as
a last resort, that they be not reported
for rejection, but for the table.
There is very great difference be-
tween rejecting bill and tabling one
If it is rejected, the constitution says
that no more legislation on the same
su bject shall be considered by the Leg
islature, but this is not the case if it is
tabled. The committee insisted on re-
iecing the second bill, which Col. Bax-
ter, of course, intended should take the
place of the one introduced before the
recess. Even then, to make assurance
doubly sure, the committee reconsid-
cred its action in suggesting the tabling
of the first bill and also recommended
that for rejection.
Col. Baxter awaited the result OF the
action of the committee in the Senate
chamber and the corridors of the Capt.
toll. He naturally seemed somewhat
downcast when told of the result.
