 CHINESE FLAG FOUND. - The Chinese flag stolen from Chinatown the second night of the annual new year festivities, has been found and re-
 stored to it's rightful owners It was found by Green, the porter who looks after the Southern Pacific passenger cars. The night it was stolen he found
 it rolled up on the back end of the
 Kelvin train and without examining
 it. and assuming it was a bundle of rags, he cast it one side into the recep-
 tacle provided for all such debris. Fin ally something about it attracted his curiosity and he pulled it out for more careful scrutiny. When he saw what it was, he recalled having seen the
 item in The Republican about the mysterious disappearance of the flag. and immediately restored it to the owners.

 hlilS ne lS Itlui ltlilS liit NlSll Ddlu him in the French capital by F. Viault last summer. It is the first visit of Charles Viault to America and he feels like a man d long distance from home, the more because he speaks but little English He likes the country. what he has seen of it, his only criticism being that it is pretty dirty. By this he refers to the rainy weather of the last few days and the absence of the fine boulevards and nice roads with which his native land is criss crossed. All this will come to Arizona in time. but France has d couple of thousand years start of Arizona in the work of road building. If MT.

Mir. Niault is a dealer in and manufactur- CT of products made of ivory and hard woods s-ch as ebon.-. and other ma terials that are both ornamental and useful.
 THE DREDeE William Tipton, one of the engineers on the big dredge that is widening and deep ening the upper end of the Arizona canal. is in the city for a brief vaca- ton. The dredge is out of commis- sion and will be. until the rock dam at the canal head is repaired so water can again be turned into the canal. a matter of week or two. The work of widening and deeping the canal was continued for some distance from the initial point. which was the head of the upper crOsscut, and the canal is veritable river bed in size at that place. Where the work is now being done however there has been a change | in that order of things and it is neces- sary to take two bites at the apple. | The dredge is now deepening the old ! channel about six feet and when this 1 is done 1t will be widened. The reason l is that the dredge is working through | the cut where the banks are very | high. It is desirable to dump all of | the debris on the south side Owing | to the high banks the arm will not | reach out far enough to deposit all the | debris on that side al once and to put a part of it on the north side would involve moving it again when the canal is widened. So the dirt and stone removed in deepening the old | channel is piled up there first and while the dredger moves forward this will be taken farther over the bank by | teams. leaving the original dumping space for the debris removed in the | next trip which will be for the widen ng of the ditch. The dredger is work ng nicely and tears out the big tree itumps in the bank as easily as though | key were weeds. The dredger is now
