to the people of Las Vegas. Mr. Da
! is one OF the experts charged witt
the duty of selecting suitable reser
voir sites, under the provisions of the
irrigation act. 1t will be remembered
that five of these sites have been Sc
lected and preparations are making to
begin the construction of big reser
vCirs and irrigation works. Thus far
New Mexico has been left out. 1t is
certain, however, that several loca-
tiOns will be made in the Territory
and everybody in Las Vegas will do
his utmost to ensure the first choice
for this section.
Mr.. Davis himself will be given ev-
cry opportunity to acquaint himself
with the peculiar advantages OF Las
VEGAS for a reservoir ana to satisfy
himself of the vast agricultural posi-.
bilities of the surrounding country.
The natural reservoir ite, four or
five miles above the city, will he

that in no part of the Territory can
conditions equal those here shown.
Citizens will be ready to recognize

favorable report from the photograph

sites, under the act, depends in large
measure. almost wholly, in fact, upon
the reports of the engineer. The Unit

bill and the people get the benefit
What Mr.. Davis will report regarding
the Roswell country has not been
learned, but some good friends Of the
Meadow City down there told him
of the splendid conditions in this re-
sourceful part of the world and the
gentleman made haste to start on the
long overland trip to Las Vegas.

FLORENCE ROBERTS IN ..zAzA."

1t is small wonder that Florence
Roberts has scored so heavily in
"Zaza." Both David Belasco and her
self were brought up in the same the
atrical atmosphere of San Francisco.
Each served an apprenticeship under
the actors and stage managers whose
names are household words in the
histronic lexicon. They possess in
like measure the keen intellect, ner-
vous force and naturally intuitive in
spiration that can alone make a great
author Or famous actress. Their
symathies and friend ship have been
constant since their early California
days. When Mr.. Belasco decided that
Miss Roberts should play the title
role in his world famous play, he
knew whereon he builded 'Zaza" has
made it's reputation and Miss Roberts
has progressed to such degree that
she is now recognized as one of the
really best actors in the country. The
Belasco & Thall company will present
both play and star at the Duncan
opera house one night, they coming
direct from their extraordinarily sue
cessful two weeks engagement at the
Broadway theatre, Denver.

an impressive reprimand.
Beatrice Mack and r. H. Law
renee. both colored, had been liv-
ing together for some time without
the formality of a marriage cere-
mony, and recently the woman con
concluded she didn't think as much of
him as usual and discouraged his at
tentions. Their meetings recently
have not been as friendly as usual
and she says he has been more or
less abusive. She was afraid of him
and prepared for trouble by arming
herself with a revolver. They met
last night and, she alleges, he struck
her with lantern. This she resent
ed by firing at him with her revolver,
whereupon he took to his heels. She
was arrested, and the judge, deem
ing that she was not without provo
cation, concluded fine of SIS and
like amount of costs were sufficient

EASTERN BOWLING LEAGUE.
Cities in this Vicinity will Doubles be

An effort is being made to interest
Trenton Dowlers in the proposed or
g~anlzation of the Eastern Bowling
league. With that end in view James
Reynolds, a prominent Newark bowl
or, and another promoter of the league,
were in Trenton yesterday morning.
The couple spent considerable time
at Hughes alleys on South Warren
street, talking the matter over with
the proprietor of the alleys, Lew
Hughes. Just what action will be
taken by Mr.. Hughes is not known,
but it is thought that an effort will
be made to organize a team to repre-
sent Trenton.
Newark, Brooklyn, Philadelphia
and New Brunswick have already
signified their intention of entering
the league should the organization be
perfected.

Few people have any idea of the

tailor has on his books, remarks the
Tailor and Cutter an English organ of
the trade. Gentlemen will run up A
bill of 81, 500 or $4,000 ana pay off per-
haps $3.50 and increase their indebted
ness by a like amount; while, in addi-
tion to these, there is the positive loss
by intentional %swindlers, who manage,
somehow, to get introduced, run up a
heavy bill, and will not pay. Take a
case in point: A foreigner called on a
%well-known firm with a letter of intro
duction from one of the firms custom

for them. He then ordered some more,
and introduced ten other gentlemen.
The firm in question has not received a
penny for any of the goods supplied on
the second order, or for those supplied
to the ten others.
