THE WORK AT ToNTo BASIN
Nobody There Doubts That the Dam
 Will Be Built.

Livingston, Ariz., Feb. Special Correspondence of The Republican).- No one who is familiar with the ocer- ations which are being carried on at the reservoir site at the present time doubts that in the course of few years the people of the Salt River val ley will reap the benefits of magnifi- cent system of water storage Consist ent progress is being made in every de- partment of the work connected with this project, and those interested may feel perfectly safe in discrediting any rumors or reports to the contrary. Practically everything which has been done so far has been preliminary to the construction of the dam and the other permanent works conheeted with the reservoir. The work has been so planned that when the time comes to take up these large pieces of construc- tion everything will be in readiness to carry them out to the best advantage. Much of the preliminary work has been done, and as many men are being en- ployed at present as can be used to advantage. Consistent progress is be- ing made on every hand. and there is an atmosphere about the whole enter prise which inspires confidence.
 Work on the telephone line is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The poles are now set to the top of Fish Creek hill and the wire men are not far behind Contractor Thorpe went over the entire line last week with Mir. Hill and has arranged for the work on the upper end of the line to be commenced at once. Most of the material is on the ground and the poles are being dis tributed.
 The pipe line from Cottonwood can- yon is nearing completion. and in a few weeks the camp at the dam site will be independent of the river. which so far has furnished the water.
 Two forces of men are working on the new Globe road, and in a short time that highway will be ready for use. This road leaves the stage route six miles above Livingston, and takes nearly direct route to the dam site skirting the south boundary of the res- ervoir. When completed all the freight ing, from Globe will be done over it. thereby saving distance and avoiding sand and heavy grades. A small force of men is working cn the Canyon road and has reached point some five miles from Fish Creek The entire line is surveyed. and a large force will be put on as soon as the Phoenix people say the word.
 The stone masons on the cement mill have been taken off pending the set clement of the cement question. A small force is still working on the hill. but their work is confined to excava- tion.
 The sawmill on the Sierra Anchas is running to it's full capacity, and the lumber is being utilized as fast as it can be hauled down.
 A temporary electric plant has been installed at the dam site, and it now furnishes light for the camp. It will also furnish power for the electric drills, which are to he used in tunnel construction. A storm of rain and snow visited this section on the night of February 5, and was heartily wei comed by every one. The precipita tion was not sufficient to more than damp- en the ground. but it served to renew hope for greater benefit in the future.

Hon. John Shenick, Chicago Alderman residing at 22O So. Peoria St. owes his election to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We will let him tell it: 1.-Two years ago during political campaign, I caught cold after being overheated, which irritated my throat and was finally compelled to stop as I could not speak aloud. In my extremity friend advised me to use Chamberlain Cough Remedy took two doses that afternoon and could not believe my senses when found the next morning the infan- nation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right ontalking through the campaign, and thank this medicine that 1 won my seat in the Council, for had l not been able to continue my meetings, would no doubt have been unable 10 secure sufficient votes. Since that time l have praised this medicine to dozens of my friends. My wife has also used it and we find it valuable household remedy"

THE TORPEDO BOAT.

The torpedo boat which has sudden ly sprung into prominence through the attack on Port Arthur, is a light craft, in which every quality is sacrificed to speed. Thers are two classes of ves- sells of this type-torpedo boats and destrcyers. The destroyer is simply an enlarged and improved torpedo boat. The typical torpedo vessel is a steel steamer about 175 feet long, seventeen broad and with a displace- ment of perhaps 1T5 tons. Compared to a battleship with it's 15.0O0 .tons' dis placement, the torpedo boat is a mere long, slim shell. carrying powerful machinery capable of generating a speed of from twenty to twenty eight knots an hour. Its sides offer no pro- tection against the battleship's battery. Speed is its only safeguard. Its bat tery consists of couple of light guns and two or three tubes for launching torpedoes.
 The destroyer is a faster vessel of double displacement of the torpedo boat and with a slightly heavier bat tery. Vessels of this type are sup- posed to creep close to the enemy's battle ships. under cover of darkness. and launch torpedoes d them and then flee.
 The torpedo is a cigar shaped pro- jectile eleven feet long and about four teen inches through at the thickest point. It carries 150 pounds of gun cotton in it's head which explodes on impact, and is propelled through the water at a speed of thirty knots an hour by a screw driven by compressed air It has an effective range of about half mile. It is liable to be swerved from its course by currents and so is net reliable. But if it strikes, it's wound is mortal
 Up to the time of the present war however, only two vessels have ever been torpedoed-the Blanca Encalda, of $500 tons, belonging to the Chilean revolutionists, in 1891, and the Aquid- aban, of 5000 tons, in the Brazilian civil war of 1S94-Kansas City Star.

With Hartwell and Lomah, Phoenix has battery, which, if given any kind of support, will pull out a victory for their team by a good mar gin. Glendale's main dependence is Wemp. but the Phoenix boys have blood in their. eyes and believe that they will knock Mir. Wemp's curves to every point Of the diamond.

PLAYS AS MoNoLoGUEs.

That it is possible for enc person without the use of scenery, stage property costumes or "make-ups'' so as to present a play that it will be as intensely interesting and as we'll un- derstocd as if presented by. a company of players who use all these artificcs. is fact that may be easily doubted .by one who has never seen it demonstrat- cd and who dpes not consider carefully why it is so. This will be proven con- clusively at the Normal next Tuesday evening, when Win. Lee Greenleaf will appear under the auspices of the senior class. But when we remember that it is the characters and events of the play, not the scenery around them, in which we are interested; and that it is the actors art, not the costume he wears, which makes us understand them, we can the more readily believe that this is true.
 The monClogue artist must build his scenery in the imagination of his audi tors and distinguish his characters by initiating their expressions. He must not only be familiar with their features in order to resemble them, but muSt understand their passions and their thoughts in Crder to express them in a natural manner. He must be able to put himself in the place of each of the characters and change rapidly from one to the other. and if he can do these things he can so interpret play that it will meet it's highest object which is to portray human nature in such a way that it will be understood and to impress inc lesson to be learned from the lives of others,

ANOTHER BIG FLEECE

J. l. Coffin came into town yesterday and had fleece weighed from a spring lamb that tipped the scales good and strong at 9ia pounds. The wool was of fine texture and remarkably long. This is half pound better than the one John Nelson left in the office of Pomeroy Bros. Company, a few days since. Wool grown on alfalfa land is given up to be far superior to the mountain grown, and it is possible that the trade from that grade of wool may be transferred from Australia to the alfalfa fields of the west
