RAIN ON THE WATERSHED
Not Very Much, but It Helped Some
 in That Region.

Livingstone, Ariz., May (Srecal Correspondence of The RepubEcan)- Last Sunday night there was a heavy shower throughout the uper valley ard two inches of snow fell in the Sierra Ancha mountains. It also rained up Tonto creek and the rainfall will no doubt help out the feed situation some which at the present time is very ser ious. Cattle up the Tonto country are starving and it is reported that hun drads Ihave died during the past week or two.
 The principal work being done on the
 reservoir at the present time is the
 building of the power canal line.
 Scherer & Co.,, the contractors fer the excavating, have removed about 1000 cubic yards so far and are working on the line near Lees ranch, about four miles up the river from the headqdar-
 ters camp. Considerable work has
 been done by Futile & Co.,, the con tractors for the tunnel work. The in
 take tunnel at the upper box, which is about mile further up the river from where Scherer & Go. are excaVating,
 has already been driven about five
 hundred feet. This tunnel ana the sluicing tunnel at the dam, the ap- breaches to which have already been | completed, are the largest to be made being about 900 and 1900 feet in length, respectively, in material consisting
 mainly of gravel and boulders. There will also be three tunnels of from 600
 to 750 feet each, in indurated sand, and a number of shorter tunnels, the aggre- gate length of tunneling being in the
 neighborhood of 1000 feet. All of the l tunnels will be lined with concrete. Operations at Roosevelt are gong along satisfactorily. The machinery and motors for the new power plant are one the ground and the building of
 the plant will be pushed rapidly to
 completion.
 The building of the cement mill is | well under way as well as the clay
 pits for holding the clay to bc used in | the manufacture of cement.
 There were several departures from | the headquarters camp today. Louis c. Hill, engineer in charge, accompan- jed by his family, left for the east. MT. Hill will go as far as Denver and ex- poets to return in a week or two. Mrs. Hill will continue her journey east to
 Michigan to spend the summer. MT. Steiner, draughtsman for the C. s. G. S.. has left headquarters, having been assigned to the Denver office.
 James w. Spencer, special disburs- ing officer for the U. s. G. S., also left l camp today. MT. Spencer will first wis
 it Los Angeles and then proceed to Reno. New, and will be gone about a month.
 Last Sunday a very exciting game of | baseball was played at Roosevelt be- tween the Indian team and a picked
 nine from Roosevelt and headquarters | The Indian players were from Harp
 hams road camp. and foreman Harp
 ham of1iciated as umpire and the whites
 were handed out fierce bunch of de-

Dickens, school pets.

When Charles Dickens was a boy
at Wellington House Academy it was
the secret pride of the students there
that they owned more white mice, red
polls and linnets than any other set
of boys within their ken. These they
kept in hatboxes, drawers and even
in the school desks. A small but
very accomplished mouse, which lived
in the corner of a Latin dictionary.

nevertheless, won a prize for his

Horace which he once presented to
his coach recently fetched a high
price at an exhibition in England.

he lived in Cuba, received one of these

Horse Commits Suicide.

When Commission Merchant w. X.
Cassel went to his stables at Norris
town. n. j.. recently. he was grieved
to find that his most valuable horse
was dead and from all appearances
the animal had committed suicide.
The horse was lying in a most pc
culiar position. Its head was be-
meath its body and from the manner in
which it was lying the horse must
deliberately have broken its neck.
The strap by which the animal had
been tied was torn and the horse from
all appearances had by brute strength
done the act.
Mr. Cassel went for DR.. Dengler.
thinking perhaps that life might not
yet be extinct, but upon the arrival OF
the veterinary he at once pronounced
the case one of broken neck. The
doctor said that the position Of the
animal was a most peculiar one and
that the case seemed like one .ot
suicide.

Cavalry Charge at Gettysburg.

war. II the reader has never seen

companies. On the opposite slope Of
the same plain are five thousand hos

horses are their hOofs lronshod and
