QUEEN ALEXANDRA AND HER
BATHLESS BUNGALOW
It's the quaintest little cottage
you ever saw. 1t has two rooms;
one for the servants and one for
the queen. and large porch-that's
all. 1t is built of red stone and the
rough ceilings are coarsely plaster
ed with stones and shells from the
beach.
The bungalow is miles from
road or town. But the picturesque
view at this Snettisham beach,
with its background of white cliffs,
the distant towers of Lynn, the fish
ing smacks and the smell of the
sea, is good heart balm, even for a
sOrroWing queen.

 WORK AT lAGUNA-Dr. J. c. Norton returned Saturday morning from Yuma where he went to inspect 266 head of stock, mostly mules, that had just arrived there to be added to the government force engaged in grad ing the levee along the Colorado and in the vicinity of Laguna dam. There are now zoo head altogether and they are all working within a distance of five miles. As may be imagined, 700 head with modern grading apparatus to work with, can throw considerable dirt in a day. The Southern Pacific is now receiving material at Yuma or just across the river from there. for the construction of the railroad branch that will be built along the levee to Laguna- Construction of the road will begin very soon. pr. Norton is keep ing a very close watch on the new stock brought to Yuma in this work to be sure that no contagious disease is brought into the territory and there are two or three animals he is keep ing a close tab on. This new stock is not really in Arizona either for it is all on the west side of the rlver at present, but it is likely to be brought across at any time and the inspection was made as a matter of precaution.

ROCK ISLAND RUM0RS
Reports of Reorganization Cause
Decline an the Stock.

The continued weakness in the Rock Island issues
yesterday led to persistent rumors that the com
pany would be reorganied In the near future. In
terests Identified with the company emphatically
denied this, however they did the further re-
ports that the interest due September on the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway per cent
collateral trust bonds would be defaulted. They
added that the money meet this interest pay
ment was already IN hand and that all of the obli-
cations Of the company and its subsidiaries had
been provided for.
II was also reported yesterday that the Chicago
Rock Island S5 Pacific Railroad Company would
soon divorce the ST Louis & San Francisco, which
has been more or less of milestone ever since it
was acquired. The per cent bonds of the former
road are occurred by deposit in trust of s2990ooo OF
the common stock of the St Louis & San Fran
cisco. on which interest is being received. and
It has long been q source Of wonder in financial
circles why the Rock Island does not substitute
this collateral for an income yielding stock that
would help pay the interest the bonds, instead
of lying like so much dead weight in the treasury
Rumors that this would be done have been circu-
lated from time time. but nothing has come
