Gently they decided to adopt a more
economical way of lifting water. Their
machine has just been perfected. and
put to test with gratifying results. The
power is developed by two rotary
wheels at the stern corners of a forty
foot scow. This power is transmitted
to the front end of the boat by means
of rods connecting with a roller which
operates three eightinc pumps. These
pumps all discharge into one pipe
which conveys the water to the high

Two Tails-WiI Be Mounted.

Frank Lockwood, Wednesday, brOuhgt

liX, a very peculiarly deformed calf.
The calf has two regularly shaped
heads. two tails and six legs The two
extra legs grew from the back of one
of the necks of the calf. and are about
the same length as the others. The
body was regularly formed, and is
about the size of that of an average
new born calf. In giving birth to the
calf the mother was killed, and the
calf lived but d few minutes after birth.
The calf will be mounted and Mr..
Lockwood. the owner. intends to place
the calf on exhibition as soon as it is
mounted. AS freak of nature the
animal will be quite an attraction.

The Statesman accuses me of a dis

democrats of the state in the interest
of railroads. In what way, pray? Will
the Statesman point out in what way
any act of mine could result in benefit
to the railroads? 1t is true l called

A investigation is being had into the affairs of Maricopa county, with the result that several county officials are found to be in a most unenviable position. Rumors are current that much corruption has already been un- carthed, and still there is more to follow. lt should be the first official duty of the next legislature tO create the office of territorial auditor, whose duty should be to travel from one county to the other, and check up and investigate all county offices. New Mexico has such law and it has been found tO work most satisfactorily for the taxpayers. When an oillcia knows that his office IS likely to bt iuveStiu.Li.Ad any I"y, he is mucl more apt tO keep it in first oi"77 con dition.
