TO FLIP COIN FOR s1,ooo,ooo.
Hartman Said to Have Offered to Do
 It in Tacoma Damage Case.

TACOMA, Wash, April 24.--It is an. nounced that F. II. Harriman's new Puget Sound railroad through Tacoma will not go. through the Betz building 800 feet long, located at Pacific and Seventeenth street, and valued at ST.. 100000. South of the Betz buildings run the Northern Pacifc's main line tracks. As result of the recent liar riman Hill conference these tracks are to be moved south, giving Ma. Harri- man s road ffty-foot right of way along side of, instead of through, the Betz buildings.
 Through this part of the city the Hartman railroad will run on steel trestle thirty feet above the grade crossings.
 The original Hartman surveys were made over three years ago. This month Mir. Hartman was here, and Mr. Betz, who is wealthy retired Walla Walla brewer, sought an interview with him at the Union club. MT. Betz protested against the proposal of the railroad company to damage his property.
 It is said that MT. Hartman pulled a half dollar from his pocket and offer ed to flip the coin to determine whether his railroad should pay MT. Betz ST. 100000 damage or nothing. Mir. Betz would not gamble and did not know un- til last week that to save the damages involved the railroad had changed it's plans.

ARIZONA NEWS

Circus Brought 'Em.

Mesa City is undergoing new ex- perience. The town has beel singularly free from tramps and hoboes, but now lit is literally overrun with them. The police court is filled, as well as the highways and byways. The hoboes were imported with the circus. Circus es usually travel by night and thus the passage of tramps is uninterrupted. So they came into Phoenix by night and by night from Phoenix to Mesa, but the circus train went out of here in day light, and the trainmen went around and brushed the tramps off like flies. There is no way for them to get out except through the avenue of the coun. ty jail, and most of them will go that way, says the Mesa correspondent of the Republican.

Sounds Like Mulhatton Story.

The reported discovery of mann. moth underground city of an ancient race in the Grand Canyon, seems to be a splendid piece of imagination sent out by some Mulhattonized individual, t least no one in this section of Ari- zona knows anything of it and it would be just possible that some one. at the Grand Canyon would have been inform ed of it if an actual discovery had been made. The man who wrote up the find certainly had to dig some for the details and was wise in locating the entrance as point on sheer wall where no one but a person with great magination could reach it.-Coconino Sun.

Sorenson and Money Missing.

Buckeye dairymen received a blow that they will feel for some time when c. K. Sorenson, butter maker and one of the proprietors of the Buckeye creamery, absconded with the pay mon 0 yfor March cream checks, says the Phoenix Democrat. No books were left behind, so that an accurate estimate of the loss cannot be made, but passing March on the first fifteen days of April, which figures are at hand with the March tests, an estimate of 5000 was made. April butter sales have been col lected and are also gone, bringing up the amount of loss to somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000, quite tidy sum for two men 90 clear up in win ter's work.

To Move Couvicts.

Within less than two months every convict now at Yuma will be moved to Florence. By that time the new peni. tentiary will be far enough along to. ward completion so that it will be pos. sible to abandon the old prison at Yuma. The buildings will be far from complete, but will do for summer occu. patton. It is estimated that another year will have elapsed before the last details in connection with the construc. ton of the new penitentiary will have been completed.

courtland Shy on Water.

The price of water went up to 75 cents barrel by Thursday, and even at this figure it was hard to get in de. sirable quantities, says the Douglas Dis patch. Where stock had to be supplied
 from this purchased water, the daily
 water bill this week became burden. some. Part of the water is now obtain.
 d from the springs near Gleeson and is hauled into Courtland in tank wagons. The water company has prom. ised supply from the springs north of Courtland by the first of May, but there is danger that the camp may suffer before that time. In case of fire the camp will be in serious danger, as the present supply would avail little against the flames.

Heavier Engines for santa re.

Preparatory to putting on heavier engines than those now in use on the road, the Santa Fe is reinforcing bridges and making general repairs along the line. Even the larger bridges will have to have their carrying ca. paeity increased. The big cantilever bridge across the Colorado at Melen will have two piers added. When the last big engines were put on it seemed that the limit for size had been reach. ed, but the new ones will relegate these to second place, says the Mohave Coun. ty Miner.
