 WILLING TO RELP-When F. W.
 Thode Of the Casino returned to the city yesterday from his visit to the coast he was asked what he thought about the councils raise in the saloon license. He said he had heard of it with great cheerfulness and he has tened back to see if there was any thing else he could do for the public good He thought the government might be short a horse on one of the springling wagons in which case he would take off his coat ard get into the harness.
 SAVED BY SUIcIDE-The same bullet which snapped out the life of the Indian, Claud Enas, at Eastlake park the morning of July5th, in all liklihood has earned for Mariana Orabaya his liberty from the county jail. Orabaya was some time ago bound over to await the action of the federal grand jury
 charged with selling liquor to an In.
 dian. The principal witness for the
 government was Enas, and he had been served with the summons to ap- pear at the time of the converting Of
 the grand jury. As he is dead. it isI ! States authorities will have Orabaya released from his imprisonment.
 PUMPS STARTED-A telephone message from Roosevelt yesterday brought the Information that the big hydraulic pumps had begun the opera tion of removing the water from the
 area between the coffer dams where the foundation for the storage dam is to be laid. This is rather a prelimin- ary work to test the coffer dams. for 1t is expected that they will leak a lit- | tie at first. After they have been care | fully tested and strengthened if nec- essary, the excavation of the dirt and rocks will begin. Whether this will be Tn two days or in two weeks, is all guess work from this distance. And whether there will be a big rise in the river in the next week or so that will ] fill it all up again is still worse. It's l a gamble of the most sporty kind.
 1 NEW LABOR JOURNAL-Thc ! Republican is in receipt of the Sher-
 man Labor Journal, No. 1, Vol 1, pub | lished al Sherman, Texas. The editor | and one of the proprietors is J. A. Bail,
 for a long time a linotype operator for | The Republican. The Journal begins
 with warm advocacy of the cause of ] labor, which is threatening to cut an ! important figure in the congressional conventions and elections in Texas this year. since it is by no means confined
 to the towns. but is spreading through out the rural districts where farmers
 unions are being organized. The Jour Inal has good advertising patronage and is Geographically neat, as it
 might be expected to be with so prac- 1 tical a printer as MT. Ball at the head
 of it.
 A DEMAND FOR TYPEWRITERs IA few days ago there appeared in the Long Beach, Calif, Press an advertise ment for a typewriter, or rather | typist and feminity was made necessary qualification. The advertise ment bore the name of a Phoenix busi- ness man. Those who knew him wondered at his sudden need of a type
 writer for in all the years of his res | idence here he had never had such an l appurtenance about his office. It was
 moreover, generally supposed that he was on the coast for recreation and 1 not for business. A delegation of his ! fellowtownsmen who were at Los An geles and Phoenix worried about the l advertisement for a day or two and
 discussed it among themselves with the | result that committee was appointed | to wait on the advertiser and inquire | into the state of his morals. He ex-
 pressed surprise when he was told of | the advertisement. He said he had not
 caused it to be inserted and that he 1 had not seen it. He was inclined to
 think that it was a joke and he be- l lieved he could point out the joker Tn ! the meantime his friends are haunting
 his quarters to see if anything more
 serious than joke eventuates from the
 advertisement.
