A RESERVOIR NOT NEEDED
3. Walker of the Ferguson CQnstruc-
tion company of Pittsburg and New
York, who arrived in the city a few
days ago to put in a bid for the con-
structiOn of the Tonic Basin dam, re-
turned yesterday from a part of a trip
to gather data on which to base his
bid. Mr.. Walker did not get all the
way to Roosevelt before the deluge
came. He returned saying that in his
opinion there were a great many
things this country needed worse than
a reservoir
MANY PAUL REVEREs- There
was a water panic in town yesterday
morning and the telephone at the Cen
trail school building was kept busy
with alarms of the advancing Cave
ioI, d Of
the other ends understood was going
to eclipse all predecessors. They
thought that the principal ought to be
informed of the approaching disaster.
for in their opinion it would be an aw-
full thing to have so many children
drowned in 4 bunch. The school au-
thorities did not know of any safer
place than a substantial two story
building. School was therefore not
dismissed.
LIKES THE coUNTRY-wiley
Buchanan of the soliciting and adver-
Using department of the Denver Re
publican, arrived here yesterday and
expects to leave again on the first
train north. He had rather a strenu-
Gus time getting here, having left Ash
Fork Friday evening, getting TO Pres
colt the next morning, to Wickenburg
by Sunday noon, to Glendale by
O'Clock Sunday night, and covering
the mileage between here and Glendale
between that hour and o'clock yes
terday afternoon. He says, though,
that great credit should be given Con-
ductor McGrath and his crew for the
careful manner in which they handled
their train through the washed out
country. Everybody felt safe in rely
ing on their judgment. NOtwithstand-
ing the tedious time Mr.. Buchanan had
getting here lie IS very much impressed
with Arizona and with Phoenix par
ticularly. He says the Phoenix or
anges are the finest he has ever eaten,
and he hopes to eat more of them. This
is his first trip west OF Albuquerque.
A TANDING-Charlie
Standard got into trouble yesterday
because a passer-by heard a part but
not all of a conversation which he was
carrying on with a man named Har-
rington at the corner of First avenue
and Washington street. Mr.. Harring-
ton was of the opinion that the rain
was over and he said so. Mr.. Standard
contrOverted that opinion and pointing
to an Ominous looking cloud rising
from the western horizon as proof OF
the meteorological position which he
had assumed in the discussion he said:
LOOK at that Dlack cloud passing TINS
way" Mr. Standard was surprised to
hear a muttering of thunder at his
side The thunderer was a colored
woman, Mrs. Bedford Taylor, who en-
joys the distinction in this community
of having shot her husband, making
thirty-four perforations in his intes
tines and failing to kill him. She
thought Mr.. Standard was speaking
figuratively and when she got through
with him she had concluded a demon
stratfon of the possibilities of the Eng
lish language even in the hands or
rather in the mouth of an uneducated
person. Mr.. Standard had no OppOr
tunity to apologize or explain if he had
been inclined to do so for Mrs. Taylor
was still talking in a high key when
she had reached the middle Of the next
block.
