CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Best Bar, ain in the World for the
 Right Party.

The Republican in the course of re- cent years. on it's own account and through its advertisers, has offered to it's readers a great many bargains; propositions that were fully entitled Lu be placed in the category of 'snaps. % But here is presented a gilt edged in ducement that ought to start some thing. Any eligible party who can find fault with this offer is hopelessIy blind to opportunity and might as well give up life at once as a rank failure. The proposition comes in a letter to The Republican, direct from first hands and through no advertising agent or catch penny dodge. Though the writer is not personally known by The RepubH- can staff the proposition is frank and has every appearance of genuineness. The letter is entirely self explanatory and is as follows:
 Weehawken N. J., Jan. 3, 1905. Editor the Arizona Republican:
 Dear Sir: I trust you will forgive me for this infringement on your time and perhaps your patience, for un- doubtedly you are besieged with many appeals from grief-stricken mothers, wives and sisters, but I am sure you will do me this favor I ask which is to kindly publish this letter in your paper
 
 up to five years ago, when we moved to Weehawken, N. J. Now as both of my parents have died recently I am all alone in this world except for rich old (cranlSy) aunt Wirh whom I am now living. l am twenty three years old and have money in my own name. and what I want is to become ac- quainted with and marry some gentle man of ability who does not use to- baccO or liquor in any form. He must live in Phoenix or not more than ten miles from there. He must be steady in his habits and be able to handle a S35,000 estate.
 Also kindly send me copy of the paper it appears in and the subscrip- ton for one year, and I will forward the money, as I wish to be posted on all things going on in Phoenix.
 I think there is no place like Phoe- nix and my one wish is to settle there for life by friends and acquaintances- Hoping you will grant me this favor, which will be greatly appreciated, I re- main
 Your Sincerely,
 MISS ALICE M. PLESS. Box 164, Weehawken, N. J.

company was engaged in hauling in terstate traffic and the United States mails at the time the decree O. the district court was entered, and that the enforcement of the decree would work great pecuniary damage to the Phoenix 6, Eastern company and q se- rious detriment to the public in gen. eral, and particularly to sInelters and other industries which have sprung up along the line of the new road. It was further argued in support Of the peti- tion that the refusal of the district court to enter an order suspending the decree pending appeal was denial to the Phoenix & Eastern company of right to supersedeas, expressly given by statute.
 Several other matters of lesser inn portance were before the court. Tn the case of the Gila Bend Reservoir & Irrigation company against the Gila Water company and the Peoria Canal company the appellee's motion for a remittitur was denied. In the case of Laura King and others, appellants. against C. l.. Cummings, appellee, from Cochise county, a motion to affirm was granted. In the case of Adolph Bail, appellant, against r. NJ. Hartman, trustee in bankruptcy, appellee. mo- tion to strike was denied and the ap- pellant was granted permission to file briefs. The damage suit of the 6. F. P. & F., appellant, against Ford. appel lee, was ordered submitted on briefs. In the case of the United States against H. P. Ewing, a motion to dis miss was withdrawn and the appellant was given ten days in which to file briefs.

The decree of the district court was suspended by that order so as to allow the Phoenix & Eastern company to continue the operation of trains as far as Kelvin, and the Phoenix 6. Eastern company was also permitted to retain control of the remainder of the route. bat not to operate trains over it. The order of Chief Justice Kent was made to continue until a hearing could be had before the entire court, and it was in pursuance of this order that the question was again brought up at this time.
 The contention of the Phoenix ,G Eastern company yesterday was that the decree of the district court should be suspended during the appeal to the supreme court, because the Arizona Eastern company can have no possible use for the property in the meantime, being absolutely without railroad any where, while the Phoenix & Eastern

No one has the temerity yet to pre- diet that the storm is over though it has not rained for several hours and late yesterday afternoon there was a gorgeous rainbow in the east. Still the showers continued for sometime after it was seen. The total precipitation here yesterday was less than a quar- ter of an inch though it seemed much more for everything is so wet that every little counts and the showers while frequent were not heavy.
 Railroad traffic was badly disturb ed yesterday. The Santa Fe train which was held at Prescott until yes terday morning was expected here soon

after midday. It was delayed a short time at Wickenburg by trivial wash outs which were quickly repaired, but when it got to within ten or fifteen miles from Phoenix the conditions were more embarrassing. There was a small washout of the grade, within the city limits, west of the capitol building and 2 number of others between there and Glendale, notably in the vicinity of AL hambra. A force of men was put to work early yesterday morning and the roadbed repaired by dark The train from the north arrived q little after C o'clock. The train that was to have gone north yesterday morning was an nulled. The train will cave this morn ing at 6:3O.
 The M. & P. train due to arrive about 6 o'clock yesterday morning only got as far this side of Maricopa as the Gila river where q washout had occurred between the bridges over the two chan nels of that stream. A train was sent down to meet it and a transfer was made of mail, express and passengers, the train reaching Phoenix in the mid dle of the afternoon. It was expected that the damage would be repaired yes terday but either the work was not accomplished or there were fears of further trouble, for the southbound train last night was annulled
 The main line of the Southern Pa cific has had a great deal of trouble during the last two days in western Arizona and California but seemed to be overcoming the difficulties rapidly for during the twenty-four hours pre- ceding yesterday afternoon. ten sec tions of eastbound Southern Pacific No. 10 passed Maricopa. There were several washouts but most of them were in southern California. It is un- derstood that all trains are running again now. F. P. Trott received a tele- gram from Pima yesterday afternoon sa ying that the Gila river at that point in Graham county was higher than it had ever been known to be before.
 The aSlt river was booming and roaring all day yesterday in the good old fashioned way it used to have be- fore the government undertook to re- gulate the weather in this country and before Henry Morgan and Chief Char lie lost control of it. Though it was not higher than it has been occasionally seen in late years it seemed to he making more noise about it. There were three and a half feet of water go- ing over the Arizona dam in Salt river all day yesterday, and it increased last night. That amount of water in round numbers means about forty thousand second feet or 1,60O. 900 min CTS inches. Though that is a lot of water and would fill up the Roosevelt reservoir pretty rapidly were it com pleted, 1t need cause no alarm to ner- vous people concerning a dangerous flood. Many yesterday were inclined to compare the flow of water to that of the flood of 1891 but there isn't enough water yet to make an estimate on for on that memorable occasion the water passed over the Arizona dam twenty two feet deep.
 Water Commissioner Trott yeSter- day gave the following figures from his records that are interesting in view of the fact that conditions are so sim liar to those of 1897 which was a more favorable year from an irriga- ton standpoint than the valley has had since that time. On January 9, 1897,
