ONCE A MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges of
Arizona and California lowered toward the
stars, AT least twice as high as they do now,
rains were very rrcduent and came down in
torrcntisl volumes all along these mountain
ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages
was mighty stream, sweeping down debris
in tons every second of its flow. The Colora-
do sink was at that time great inland sea,
which spread over the country on both sides
OF where the river now runs. AS the erosion
Of winds and StornlsA landslides and glaciers
wore down the mountain ridges year by year,
she great river carried down a vast amount
of SILT erosion from the rocks full of phoS.
ahales, lines and disin tergrated GRANTEES, as
well us the vegetation along Its banks; and
Shis was ali deposited in what are now the
sinks OF the Colorado.
As the mountain tops were worn GDEn, the

process went on from ;ggP To age to oyu time,
lcaving the Colorado at Yuma Il stSea IA Il bout
half mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep ii the deepest
portion.
1t is not necessary to remind Californians
Shatthe Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because Of the
reddish color of its waters. Its the Colorado
up i'm the Grand Canyon in Arizona and
down past The Needles. But at this time OF
the year, after passing the mouth of the ella,

FOURTEEN-INCH GUN.
Monster Death Dealer for American
Defenses.

From the New York Times
Thus far there are nine of these four
teen-inch guns authorized by Congress.
One-has been completed and the others
are we'll under way. They are not all
Identical in dimensions. The first was
designed to be a wire-wrapped gun thir-
tw-four calibers long from the breech for
ward and forty-four inches in diameter
at the breech and twenty-siX inches diam
setter at the muZzle. The second was
a built-up gun of practically the same d.
mensiens,- and the latest type Is a wire
wrapped gun forty calibers, or forty-one
feet long, forty-four and one-half inches
at the breech, and twenty-siX inches at
the muzzle. These guns, being lighter
than the present twelve-inch guns, cost
less to make. They use so much less
powder for the ordinary charge that there
is q saving Of $40 in each shot on that
account. The cost of the piercing
shell rs about $4O0 more than for the
of each shot with the new fourteen-inch
gun is about $50 more than with the
twelve-inch. But this does not mean
that the new gun is to cost more to oper-
ate than the twelve-inch. Take into ac-
count the longer life of the larger gun
and the expense for the latter is but
about 6S per cent of the other.
The practical fighting range of the
fourteen-inch gun is 500 yards. at which
distance its .projectile will penetrate a
-twelve-inch Krupp plate. At 10000 yards
1t will penetrate an eleyen-inch plate OF
course, It is at once obvious that there
would be some more trouble in loading a
gun with a projectile weighing 1850
pounds rather than 1000 pounds. But
this has been overcome in part by MAX
ing slight change in the gun carriage,
by which the gun is depressed at the
time Of loading and the projectile slides
into place with the. aid of gravity Thus
1t is that at less cost to construct a
lighter gun is secured which throws a
heavier projectile, delivers heavier blow
has an increasing energy at each dis
-tance beyond the muzze, and lives four
times as long as its predecessor, the
twelve-inch.
The nine fourteen-inch guns SO far
authorized have been allotted to the forti-
fications at, CorregiGor and at earl
Harbor. None has been authorized for
any Notifications in this country thus
far.

That but one man is necess. ry for a

town meeting held in the biggest town in

that but one man is necessary for the
imposition Of a tax For one man alone
voted the poll tax Of 81 on all voters
not otherwise assessed.
The proposition Shall the town assess

and the usual motion calling for the legal
tax Of a dollar was put. When he called
for the ayes but one man of the 700 then
in the hall spoke up his AYE having a

called no one responded.
Those sitting in the vicinity OF the one
voter laughed. But 1t was no more
ridiculous than much Of the other busi-
