TO OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY
Proclamation Issued to Spanish-American
 War Veterans of Arizona.

Colonel J. H. McClintock, com manding the department of Arizona New Mexico of the Spanish-Ameri- can war veterans, has issued an or der for the observance of Memorial day. The day will be very gen. erally observed in Phoenix, both by the G. A. R. and Spanish-American war veterans. Colonel McClin- tock's order is as follows: HEADo UARTERs DEPARTMENT ARI-
 zoNA-NEw MEXICO SPANISH WAR
 VETERANS.
 PHOENIX, Ariz., May 12, 19O3.- [ General Orders No. 8. All camps within the department of Arizona New Mexico Spanish-American war veterans are hereby directed to make proper observance of Memorial day.
 The day should not be one of in- discriminate decoration of the graves of relatives or friends. It should be made sacred to the memories of only those who fought for their country and who are now at rest.
 Short as was the war with Spain and in the Philippines, there are yet scores of graves in the south west tenanted by all that is mortal of man who gave their lives to the nation. The flowers of remem- brance should be strewn above them and the stars and stripes should mark their resting place, and every mark of respect should be shown by their comrades who sur vive.
 It is recommended that camp commanders confer with the com manders of the local Grand Army posts and that every possible cour- tesy be extended the veterans of the civil war. By order of

Two Tourist Tides.

Railway officials report that the outflow of winter tourists from Southern California is now at it's height. Facilities for accomodat- ing eastward Hound passengers are taxed to the utmost limit. Sleep ing car service is booked far ahead, greatly to the annoyance of many travellers who had not taken such contingency into account.
 By the latter part of May the tide will have ebbed entirely, leaving the winter tourist season sealed un- til next autumn.
 But there are two tourist tides that sweep into and out of South ern California. About the time when the winter tide is at lowest ebb a summer tide sets in. While the cold and general discomfort of the eastern winter drive people hither in one part of the year, in- tense summer heat sends others here at a different period. From Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and other sections, people flock into Southern California in summer time to enjoy the moderate tenn perature and the delightful attrac- tions of the ocean. This summer influx of strangers begins about the middle of May, reaches the climax early in July and begins to recede in September.
 In addition to the flow and ebb of these tourist tides a new factor has been introduced in the resort feature of that section. Within the last three or four years the limits of the winter and summer tourist seasons have been less clearly de- fined than they used to be. There are indications, in fact, of grad ual blending of the two. Sojourn- CTS in Southern California, whose means permit, are not in the olden time hurry to get away in the ebb tide. They find this country so at tractive at all times of the year that it is difficult to decide which part is most enjoyable. Hence, many such visitors are tempted to prolong their stay indefinitely, of ten with the ultimate result of caus- ing them to remain permanently.

flashing, ready to spring on the wild man. He also had heard the growl and he braced himself for the shock. I drew nasty bead on the cougar and pressed the trigger, and when the smoke had cleared away the mother cougar lay dead where the wild man had stood. The man himself had disappeared. The two young cougars were still on the rock, apparently frightened by the report and echoes of my old Sharp's rife. Reaching hastily for cart ridge, I found I had neglected to buckle on my belt when leaving camp, so I hastily retTeated to the boat, where I found everything as l had left it. I showed the boat off and drifted toward camp, which was near the cougars. There lay the old cougar where she had fallen. The wild man was standing over the two cubs, which also were dead, he having beaten the life out of them with his club. He stood a moment gazing on the carcasses, then got down on his hands and knees and drank the warm blood as it flowed from the death wounds. The sight sickened me.
 "I stood up in the boat and yelled. The man sprank to his feet, took a long look at me, and then fled up from ledge to ledge un- til he reached the fourth ledge, where he stopped. Here he four ished his club again and screamed the widest, most unearthly screech I ever heard, then turned and sprang onward up the craggy wall of the canyon.
 "Not fancying my wild neighbor,  I packed my outfit into the boat and drifted down and out of the canyon before I made camp for the night. That was the strangest ad- venture of my life.
 Tradition records that years ago hostile Indians captured three men, bound them to logs far up the can yon and cast them adrift upon the swollen river. It may be that this wild creature is one of those un- fortunate men, who, by chance, freed himself and escaped death, but was made insane by his awful experience"

Plans for the construction of thirty bridges for the Southern California division of the Santa Fe railway have just been com pleted by R. B. Burns, chief en- gineer of the coast division of the Santa Fe, and work will be com menced at once, says the San Der nardino Sun. Fifteen of the new bridges will be on the line between Los Angeles and San Diego. The remainder will be on the line be- tween Los Angeles and Barstow. "This bridge construction will be a part of general rebuilding of the Southern California lines of the Santa Fe," said Engineer Burns. "We have completed rebuilding the Atlantic x Pacific west of Albu- querque and are now prepared to do some construction work here in Southern California"

the effect that they were not afraid of being molested in their work, as they would make short work of anyone who dared testify against them.
 Mrs. Murrat further testified how the thieves would often boast of their easy methods of building up herd on short order, that they soon would be rich and not have to work. The witness told how her goat-pen was often filled with what the Van Wrinkle gang designated as the "swipes." It was shown that these "swipes" were calves unlaw- fully brought in and branded, and that in many instances the mothers of these calves would come to the pen, only to be driven off by the thieves.
 When Mrs. Murrat was asked if anyone had ever made any demon strations for the purpose of intimi- dating her, she related an instance where John Van Wrinkle covered her with gun and made threats as to what he would do if she ever told of their misdeeds.
 Several other witnesses were also called for the purpose of ascertain ing the probable percentage of the calf crop for the past year. A great many witnesses were. also questioned as to the reputation the Van Wrinkles and Walter Brice had in this section. All testified that it was bad.
 After all the evidence was in and the case had been argued, Justice Page announced that he would go over the testimony during the even ing and render a decision Tuesday morning at g o'clock. Long before 9 o'clock Tuesday morning Justice Page's courtroom was crowded to the doors by cattle men waiting to hear the decision. The decision gave Van Wrinkle five head and the balance, twenty-six head, were ordered to be sold at auction.
 Thus the first victory for the ter ritory under the new law has been won.
 Justice Page is upheld in his de- cision by the better class and many complimentary remarks have been passed in his favor.

Always Something New.

One of the features which the Los Angeles Herald announces for it's Sunday paper for the summer will be series of full-page illustrations of the summer girl in her variety by Winfield Hogaboom.
 The Sunday Herald continually presents something new, and it's new things are universally of a pleasing character. The Herald's Sunday paper has already gone far ahead of any others in the race. The series of "Reminiscences of Stageland," by two we'll known stage people, which has already begun in the Sunday illustrated supplement, are proving very in- teresting.

 It is believed that the dam across the Colorado river will be built above Parker at what is known as the Narrows. At this point the river is but POO feet wide, with rocky walls on each side. At a height of 100 feet above the pres ent river level the width of the can yon is about 600 feet. This great dam would be the means of re- claiming thousands of acres of the most fertile lands in Yuma county and afford homes to more people than now inhabit the whole terri tory. The dam would back water up as far as Mellen.-Mohave Miner.
