At this moment the "clodhopper" glanced at
him over his shoulder and his companion followed

pitching into him for being rude to me, and he
is defending himself by explaining his extreme
civility in telling about the path. Well, if it

 Fl Centro is the name of the latest town OH the Colorado desert It prom ises to be an important town, because it is situated at the junction of the Southern Pacific and the Holt, lle-Im- perial railroads, occupying the north west quarter of section and the north east quarter of section ,, township IG south, range II east, San Bernardno meridian, according to the Imperial Land Company's survey. It is an enterprise just launched by the Fl Centro Land company, of which W. T.  Bill is president and c. c. Ames secre- tary. A map of the townsite was filed with the county recorder this week.
 There are 5 blocks, 2S0x6O0 feet in dimensions each For the most part there are twenty lots to block, each 50 feet wide and 40 feet long, but the central part of the townsite has few blocks containing 46 lots each, dimen- sions being 25x14O feet.
 The H. & i. railroad skirts the town on one side, while the $. P. road divides it diagonally into two parts, one about twice as large as the other. Streets at right angles with the H.

 Latest from the Overflow
 The last measurement of the water flowing in the New river and Salton channel was made by Photographer Hardy of the reclamation service on Wednesday and Thursday and the total amount of water in both streams was found to be l7,7S3 cubic feet per second. This water was divided be- tween tine two rivers as follows: New river at CaleXico l3,635 second feet. and SaIton channel at Rockwood siding 4128 second feet. In addition to this there is said to be q large stream com ing around through Mexico and flowino into the Valley near Signal mountain. joining the New river overflow some- what west of SilSbee. Mir. Hardy has not vet had time tU investigate this re- port or to measure the volume of wafer coming in by this way, but from parties who have seen 1t, the estimate is made that at least one thousand second feet is flowing there. The Imperial water companies ditches are using about 1000 second feet at the present time. So we can therefore account for 20, ,O0O second feet of water now arriving in the Valley. And still the levees hold and the river channels carrv the water and our farm CTS are not flooded, nor is any damage done If there was any place to put the water without flooding the Southern Pacific track, Imperial Valley could stand 1t even if the whole Colorado this Valley instead of going into tIe Gulf of California. The Colorado river is falling and at the present time is carrying less than 70, ,000 second feet of water. The crest of the food in this Valley is passed, the water coming into New river from Volcano lake is falling and no doubt will rapidly sub side The California Development Company js pounding away with two pile drivers and a large force of men at the heading and will soon begin to reduce the quantity of water coming into the Imperial canal The immense flow into Saltnn sea Is causing that body of water to rise rapidly, and no doubt 1t will continue to rise for several days. Passengers arriving ii town on Fridays train report that the Tail road people are beginning the work of building uew track on higher land, preparatory to abandoning the track though the water near Saton. The old track k said to be practically inn passabe and with no prospect of keep ing it in repalr. These passengers re- port that about 800 men ale at work on this new track and it is expected to be completed and in operation in a few days. They also report that substantial headway is said to be making in closing mp the inlet at the Colorado river. While there is an immense volume of water flowing in the New river and Salton channels, much larger than it was thought possible for them to safely carry. Yet they are doing it, and the people of Imperial Valley are serene and 'unrutfitd even if the rivers are

Only those who lie in the firing line
and near the constant screech of the
shells as they cleave their terrible way
through the air above know the true
sounds of modern war. The whiplike
smack of the bursting shell, the swish
Of the scattering bullets, are nothing to
the hooking screech of these fearful
messengers of death as they pursue
each other, as if in competition to COM
plete the awful object of their hideous
mission. The whole welkin is discord-
ant with their tumult. You feel the
rush of misplaced air, splinters sing in
your ears, the earth is in constant trem-
bic with the violence of the discharge;
you feel it pulsate against your cheek
pressed to the moist mud of the para
pet, and then bullet saps the life
blood Of a comrade whose elbow has
touched yours day and night for forty
hours. There is a limit to human en-
durance in these straits. Worlds
Work.

GENERAL cox's ATTACK IN PoNTooN BOATS

GENERAL cox S ATTACK IN PONToON BOATS.
CoX's advance across the swamp with
cavalry, but this was finally outfank-
ed, and the troops passed the swamp
to high ground beyond. Throughout
the day the fleet kept up o rain of fire
upon Fort Anderson, and the Confed-
crates abandoned the place during the
night, leaving ten pieces of heavy ar
tillery to the enemy.
The garrison of Fort Anderson re-
treated along the river bank to q
stream called Town creek, which flows
at right angles with Cape Fear river,
few miles below Wilmington. On
the east side of the river the Confed-
crates under General Hoke also fell
back and took up a position opposite
the mouth Of Town creek General
Terry followed up Hoke in his retreat,
and General Ames' division crossed
from the west bank of the river to the
East to support Terry. General Cox
pursued the garrison column to the
banks of Town creek.
Before evscuatipg Fart Anderson the
Confederates built Il strong line of
works on the north bank of Town
creek and manned them with a Whit
worth rifed cannon and two field
yieces The creek was deep and I'M
fordable. The planking was removed
from the bridge over the creek, and
:uns in the works swept the long
'auseway over the marsh leading to
the bridge. \ single Confederate bri-
gade led by General Hagood held the
works at Town creek.
General COX's skirmishers worked
their way through the marsh to the
edge of the creek and picked up an
abandoned fatboat which was used
on the Goth to ferry troops across.
AS the boat could carry but fifty men,
it consumed half a day to put two
brigades across. During this move
ment Cox's sharpshooters on the south
