DAMAGE PHOENIX

The Phoenix Enterprise of last Sat urday, which arrived yesterday, tells of the flood situation about the Capital City in the following article:
 Carpenters are busy today building a boat that will be used to cross the Gila river until such a time as the Maricopa & Phoenix road can make repairs to the bridge, 400 feet of which has been swept away by the high wa ter of the past few days.
 H. w. Riley, who has the contract for building the boat, is working extra men on it this afternoon in order to have it completed in time to be taken and given its first trial.
 At the Marieopa & Phoenix office today it was stated that the river is receding fast, and that by tomorrow it will be possible to transfer passen- gers and mail matter from one side of the break in the bridge to the other by means of the boat Riley is building.
 The boat will be IS feet long, 5 feet wide and 8 1-2 feet deep. It will be | fixed for several pairs of oars. If at the trial tomorrow, t proves a success it will be used each day from now un' til the bridge is repaired and trains can pass over with safety.
 Transfers have been made in the past at the Gila river when the bridge was out, but never before has the boat used been as large as the Maricopa & Phoenix is now having made. It will carry about three times the amount of the ordinary row boat.
 Since the first of this week the only western mail to arrive here, reached the city this morning, coming over the Santa Fe route. This will be kept up until arrangements have been made to get it across the Gila river.
 It is not probable that repairs to the Gila bridge of nature to permit trains to pass over can be made inside Of the next ten days. As long as the river keeps up it will be a difficult matter 10 get in piling to take the place of the supports that were washed out a few days ago.
 At the Maricopa 6 Phoenix office this morning iJ was stated that tele' graphic advices have been received from Yuma to the effect that the rise in the Colorado river has done no dam age to the big steel drawbridge there A report to this effect was printed ir a local morning paper.
 Southern Pacific trains are running sn the main line today the same as us ual. Another report was that consid erable of the track had been washed out about four miles west of Yuma This report is also denied at the lOca offices
 At the Imperial intake, through which the Colorado has been pouring for some time, all the repairs made have been totally damaged. Machin cry, lumber and supplies stored neal | there have been either washed away or damaged to such an extent as to be worthless. It is now believed in Yuma | that no permanent structure can ever be made to prevent the Colorado flow | ing into the Salton Sea.
 | The work on the Laguna dam above Yuma has not suffered.

BULKHEAD PROTECTION.
Moore 6 Go. Making Improvements of
 Value to Upper Main Street.

Moore 6 Co. are making foundation on Main street above the Angius ware house for hay and coal warehouse and wood yahd. Supplies for their city trade will be kept there. At the back of the ground to be utilized a heavy bulkhead is being built to keep the water intended for the subway in it's course. It is expected that this bulkhead will materially assist in pre- venting the water of the canyon find ing it's way onto Main street when it is running high. In that event 1t will be valuable acquisition to that DOT Iion of the city.

LYcEuM THEATRE.

That strong play of American life,
teeming with heart interest and excit-
ing scenes, "1Tis Last Dollar" is the
production to be seen at the Lyceum
theater the last of the week, com.
mencing with Thursday s matinee. The
company Is headed by David Higgins
and Eleanor Montell.
The play was written by Mr.. IIig-
gins and Baldwin G. Cooke and has
many beautiful love scenes, artist
ically protrayed by Mr.. Higgins and
Miss Montell. He is a great favorlte
in Toledo, where his natural methods
have always demanded attention. In
fact some herald him as the second Sol
Smith Russell. This is the third sea
son of his present production, and
everywhere the critics have pro-
claimed it to be by far the best pro-
duction he has ever been IN.

sURT's THEATRE.

With den of real live ferocious
African lions, rural quartet, a rube
band and number of acts usually
seen in circuses, Her First False
Step" coming to Burt's includes
about as much as can well be gotten
INTO one production. This play will
be seen on Thursday afternoon for the
rest of the week.
In this play the girl goes from the
farm to the city, into the circus, tax $
her first false STEP but is redeemed
just in time She takes her life in he
hands at every performance for she is
thrown in with the lions and is res
cued by her lover, the hero. Those
who think the beasts are family pets
will have surprise in store for them
when they haye look at the savage
brutes.

Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-17

While the Midget had been undergoing re-
pairs, Captain Thompson had fitted mosquito
nettings to the windows, and had made a
framework for the doors, covering them with
the netting, so that those on board could get
the benefit of any breeze without being over
whelmed by insects or running the risk OF an
other visit from the bats.
The little marmosct was tucked snugly away
in his bag, apparently insensible to the exces.
sive heat, while Val and Fred swung back and
forth, perspiring, and battling with the insects
that had made their way through the netting.
It was nearly midnight before either one of
them fell asleep, and even then their slumbers
were light because of the heat. Several times
during the remainder of the night one or the
other awoke, and then they could see that the
fire on shore, built TO keep away wild beasts,
was burning brightly.
About an hour before daybreak Val looked
out of the window, and, seeing no light said
TO Fred, who had also awakened:
"Yhey must be good deal more comfortable
on shore than we are, for they are sleeping so
soundly that they have allowed the fires to
go out"
perhaps il was so warm that they put them
out to get rid Of some of the unnecessary
heat"
at doesn't seem possible that George would

where she had been anchored the night pre-
rious, but was in on unfamiliar, narrow por-
ton of the river.
"Where are we? Where are the tents?'
asked Fred.
"Pm sure Look! look! We are drifting
up the river against the current" exclaimed
Val.
1t was even as he had said The yacht
was moving through the water, apparently un-
aided, and against the strong current that she
had breasted but slowly the day previous with
O full head OF steam on.
The boys looked in vain for an explanation
of the mystery; but neither man nor boat was
in sight-no living thing, so far as could be
seen, anywhere in the vicinity, and yet they
continued to advance against the current at a
rate of three or four miles an hour.
