several hours threatened the entire
destruction of the thrifty little city,

|bwn. The loss is roughly estim-
|ted at $4,000. The fire started

lice Barley and was caused by the
Explosion of coal oil which she was
|using to start fire in a cook stove
preparatory to getting the noon day
meal. Mrs. Barley was near the
stovewhen itexploded and although
| the pieces of the stove were sent
flying in all directions she miracu-
Ously escaped injury. It seemed
I not two minutes before the whole
house was a mass of flames. A
bucket brigade was formed quickly
| TO fight the flames but no progress
was made in checking the fire. The
flames leaped from building to

every building on the block from
the depot to Main street was on

By great diligence the flames
were kept from jumping across
Main street, although several build
lngs on the opposite side of that
street caught fire many times from
sparks. The Peoples bank caught
fire seven times but was little dam
aged. The greatest loss is that of
Moran's hotel, which was burned to
the ground, the loss being estimat-
ed at $4,000, about half of which
is covered by insurance. Resid-
ences of Charles and James Hud-
dleson, the Barley home and an
unoccupied cottage were burned to
the ground, the loss being about
$4,000, the insurance about $4,000.
Lyon & Huddleson's livery barn
caught fire from the sparks and
was burned to the ground. By
heroic work on the part of volun-
teers all the horses were saved, be-
ing blindfolded and led out of the
barn. The loss to this firm is es-
timated at about $4,000 and the in
surance is $500.
There was no loss of life nor no
serious injuries. Tom Nelson is the
only person injured at all. He re-
ceived slight scalp wound from a
glancing blow from an axe in the
hands of one Of the fire fighters who
was endeavoring to break in door.
While his wound is rather painful
and had to be closed with several
stitches it is by no means dangerous.

INCREASED FLOW
 IN ARIZONA CANAL
Outline of Financial Plans of Reor-
 eanized Arizona Canal ". U. A..

Good news came from the Arizona head yesterday. The temporary rail- road for the accommodation of the rock cars, has been run clear across the site of the rock dam being built just below the head of the extension, and rock is being rapidly dumped into t e stream. The blasting or heavy rock to be used in this con struction is going on rapidly and in a short time the dam should be near completion The flow in the canal yes terday. according to telephone reports from the head had increased to about 2.OOO inches and it is believed that by tonight the volume of the flow will be at least 5000 inches. This quantity of water if il can be maintained for any length of time, should give the Arizona lands a pretty good wetting.
 Several days ago the water was run ming the entire length of the canal, but the flow at the lower end was very small. At lateral r. all that was available was diverted and yesterday it had ncneased, according to report to 15O or 200 inches. As soon as the tanks under this lateral are filled the water will be run into IS, 19 and 20 until the tanks are filled. Then the ZanJerO will give attention to lateral 16. and from that point work east un- til all the tanks are filled, after which the distribution of water for the lands will begin. With flow of 5000 inches in the canal, 1t is presumed that by the time lateral 20 is disposed of there will be sufficient volume coming down the canal to permit of turning a head into two or more lateraIs at once. so that next week probably all the farm CTS will have their tanks full. after which real irrigation will begin.
 The executive committee, Alkire Fowler and Doris, said yesterday that they were more than gratffied at

the patience and forbearance of the farmers under the Arizona, and they are surely deserving of full credit for cooperation in the enforcement of the philosophy of the square deal It takes a lot of fOrtitude and self restraint for a farmer to sit idly on the bank of the canal and watch a thousand inches or so of life giving, crop saving, tree saving, farm saving water go by them to men several miles below, and the more so. when it is realized that of the thousand inches that go by, perhaps only fifty or a hundred inches of it ever get far enough to do anybody any good The first thought is that. water is being wasted, but there is another side to the story. and it is the side that is suggested by the square deal.
 That side is that the farmers of the west end have suffered more than anybody. In the second place, had it not been for their help there would now be no water in the canal. This first run belongs to them and the as sOciation proposes to see that they have it if it takes a fight. But it won't, for the law and the equity is all on one side. and public sentiment is behind it all. MT. Doris has an orange orchard, and so have others. They need water for their fruit just at this time, but they propose to take their turn even if they have no fruit. If they seve their trees even without a crop. their efforts have not been in vain. But just now there is every reason to believe that they will save both.
 The camp at the head has been moved. nearly a mile up the river, making it very close to the scene of operations at the head of the exten- sion. so there is the least possible loss of time on the part of employees. Ev- erything is being conducted as econ ically as possible. and the force has been reduced for the reason that fewer men and teams can now be used to advantage than during the period of excavation. The number of men em- ployed has been reduced from 72 to 90, and the number of teams from something over thirty to less than ten.

THE HOTEL GUESTS
 HAD NO RECOURSE
Their Alleged Entertainment at the
 Sixth Avenue on Thursday Night.

i A highly novel and edifying enter l tainment took place last Thursday evening at the Sixth Avenue Hotel which, because of the wonderful di- versity of the acts featured, it was de- cided to call Heintz' fifty seven kinds There were at least that many spectac- ular acts The affair was quite ex- elusive: in fact it might not have been finished, had there been an audience. | Only the guests of the hotel had carte blanche. The entertainment was large ly musical. though the histronic was also well represented.
 That eminent tragedian, MT. Snow ball, invoked the shade of Mark An thony, and in his own improved re- vision of MT. Shakespeare, told the assembled Romans where they should land on Brutus for having killed Caesar.
 MT Bradley. with soulful express ion. gave a skillful rendering of Don't You Remember Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?"
 The versatile comedy artist, MT. Noll, then appeared in his famous sketch, Twenty Minutes With Lew DOckstader," during which he also showed Arthur Pryor now to play Then You'll Remember Me" on the trombone.
 MT Bryant responded with telling effect to 'Is HypnOtism an Art?" and proceeded to demonstrate. He con cluded while in the cataleptic state. with the Life of Sitting Bull, to the tune of Big Chief"
 Mrs. Butscher offciated at the piano while MT. Butscher occupied the pea nut gallery. where he consistently shrielSed with glee during all the most solemn and tragic parts.
 The whole was concluded by the en- tire ensemble in the farce. ''Why Don't the Landlady Put us Out?" or What Will The Neignbors Do?"
 It is not known when the program will be repeated, as there have as yet been no demands to that effect

some explanatory reference to the plan adopted by the execut ,1 committee for financing the association. It is now being successfully followed out. and it will be good news to many to know that already a goodly sum of money is in the bank to the credit of the association. This should not cause the reader to infer that no more money is needed. for there is yet a very large sum to raise before debts can be paid and the project carried out to completion but it is gratifying to know that So far the plan is work ing nicely.
 The plan is based op an under standing between the association and the local banks. whereby the individ- ual farmer who is willing to help the association, by anticipating his pay ment for water for the season begin ming October 1st, may turn his credit into cash for present purposes. To il- lustrate: A is a farmer whose credit is good but whose bank account is low. He agrees to buy of the associa- tion next seasons water to the amount of $10O Cor any other amount decided upon in the transaction.) The assU- citation gives aim its note for S1OO which ne deposits with his banker as collateral security for his own note for S100, given to the banker, and takes the money. These notes are made payable in November. month after the books are opened for next seasons water. When the note of the individual falls due al the bank. if he pays it, the note of the association given as security. is handed back to him, and presenting it at the office of the secretary of the association. he ex- changes 1t for a receipt for $100 worth or water and the transaction is com pleted. If however. the individual fails for any reason to pay his note at the bank, the collateral note of the as sociatiOn is paid by that corporation out of the water rentals collected and MT. A. has no water coming to him. But there will be that much more wa ter for some one else and it is almost a certainty that the demand for water next irrigating season will exceed the supply. There will be many no doubt who have failed to avail themselves of their opportunity this year who will be glad to get water next year. even at the cost of having to pay for both seasons, which will be the only way they can get it.
 But 1t is not deemed probable that any man will give his note under the above plan. who does not intend to pay 1t or who will fail to pay it. except he becomes the victim of some unusual misfortune as the result of which it will be absolutely impossible for him To do SO Most men who give these notes Will be farmers, to whom water IS even more valuable than money.
