Representative Grosvenor said that
the point of order made in the House
by Representative Baker against an
increase in salary of the president in
the future would not apply to an
amendment coming to the house from
the senate. 'tI do not know what is
the intention in the senate in this mat
ter" said General Grosvenor, "but
if that body, which has not yet acted
on the sundry civil bill sees fit to pour
out an amendment providing for the
increase in salary, no point of order in
the house will apply. I know a good
many representatives who hope this
will be done, so that the house may
have an opportunity of voting the in

SEA IN MIDDLE
OF BIG DESERT
Heavy Rains in Arizona
Cause Reappearanee of
Body of Water at SaltOn
speelsl pispatch to rhe can.

Los ANGELES, March 4.-The con-
ditions which caused the famous Sal
ton Sea In 1891, when the great basin
OF which Salton is the center was
covered with water and an inland sea
was formed. have been repeated in
that territory and If they continue
practically all that desert section will
be inundated within a few days.
The famous Salton Sea attracted at
tention from all parts Of the country
vestigation by some Of the leading
Eastern universities.
For more than year the formation
of this great body of water was not ex-
planned, and then it was found that the
overflow came from across the Mexican
border, the water following that low
valley which is at places far below the
level of the sea. The overflow was
caused by torrential rains along the
Colorado River and by cloudbursts
along the Gila River, causing such a
volume OF water that the Colorado was
not large enough to carry IL of.
During the last few weeks there
have been phenomenal rains through
Arizona and upon the Colorado and
Mojave deserts, and once more the
flood in the upper Colorado River has
been met at Yuma with food in the
ella, raising the water level to the
point reached in 1891.
On the Colorado desert itself in the
last few days there have been such
rains as never before were reported
Calexico reports a precipitation Of two
inches in two hours At Imperial
water flowed q foot deep through the
streets and no one ventured out OF
doors.
To what depth the water will rise
cannot be predicted, nor can 1t be stated
what the damages will be. but there
are thousands Of acres now under
water, most OF it land which at the
time of the overflow probably had
never been visited by white men.

GIVEN RING BY HAY.
President Receives Ornament With
Lock of Lincoln's Hair.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-On the
third finger OF his left hand during
the inaugural ceremonies President
Roosevelt wore a heavily embossed
seal ring. The ring was a present to
President Roosevelt this morning
from Secretary of State John Hay. IN
stead Of a seal on the oval fat sur
face Of the ring is a receptacle with
q glass face. Under the glass is a lock
Of hair from the head OF Abraham
Lincoln, taken just after his assassin
alton and before his death.
While in his room and waiting for
the ceremonies in the Senate cham
Der TO begin, President Roosevelt
called attention to the ring. Secre-
tary Hay, he said, had given 1t to him
with the expressed wish that 1t should
be worn during his Inauguration.
'I am very happy to wear it." added
the President, and shall always value
IT very highly"
The ring is very like in pattern to
the one which Roosevelt wears on the

and have been in perfect health. The
danger period, Ave days, had passed be-

when the fever was announced at Mis-

very properly failed to become excited.
The health conditions here are very
good, indeed, and all our citizens are
serene, requiring health certificates
from all persons who wish to enter the

A Boys Essay on Girls.

Girls are sisters of boys and has long
hare, wears dresses an powder. The
first girl was called Christmas Eve, but
I never could tell why. Most every
family has one girl and some of EN- that
is in hard luck has two or three. We
have girl in ourn who is my sister.
Girls can grow older and get younger.
My sister has been twenty-five for
three years and some day we will be
twins. Girls play the pianner and talk
about each other. Fat girls want to be
thin and thin girls want to be fat and
all want to marry doods. Why the Lord
made girls nobody nos, but think it
were to go to church and cat ice cream.
There is three kinds Of girls, brunei,
blond and them that has money. Girls
are scared of mice and bugs, which
makes it fun to put 'em down their baks.

world devoted exclusively to the treat
ment Of alcoholism, drug addctions,
cigarette and tobacco habits, insomnia
and other nervous diseases, has succeed
ed during the last few years In bringing
over twelve thousand people TO Mem
phis for treatment for these diseases,
which naturally resulted in the expen-
diture Of an enormous amount Of mon
ey in that city. As the James Sanator-
ium is the largest advertiser In that
especial line in the United States, they
have made Memphis famous, not only in
all parts Of the United States through
the good work they have done, but In

the manner that the James Sanatorium
Of Memphis, which is the parent Sana-
torium, is, will meet with great success
