It rained continually until the early hours of this morning The storn. was accompanied by a strong wind. which was almost the cause of a serious accident The gale reached it's height about midnight and caused the collapse of a tent in the rear of Neagle x Bozarths store The tent, a temporary affair which was used for the storage of material and the making of cement blocks during the construction of the big building which is now occupied by Neagle & Bo- garth came down with a terrific crash.

And in the event the gutters are curbed, as few of them are yet. aper- lures may be left for the water to go through the trees.- There is only one other class of objectors to thIs plan that can be thought of at this time so far as the irrigation feature of it is concerned, and they are the people who have been using ditch water so long they think that a plant can thrive on no other kind. There are some who believe flowers will not grow with hydrant water. Such peo- pie can be referred to the court house plaza, which in the winter time for years past has been a perfect bed of flowers and of scores of varieties. and which never had drop of any thing but hydrant water And the border flowers at the capitol grounds are mostly watered with a hose.
 As for the Bermuda grass, some people like it and some people do not. Its most objectionable feature is that it crawls over the ditch banks, making little mountains on the side walks, and runs down the ditches to the property of those who do not want it. With hose irrigation It can be restrained. Those who do not want it can keep it out and those who do can park their walks and make it a pleasing sight rather than a draw back, and it is cutting it out of the ditcheS that makes most of the work now for the street department.
 The financial feasibility of the plan has been left for consideration last, because it appears to be the easiest. The city at the present time cannot pump water enough for Irrigation in addition to its other necessities. It is believed though that with the new pump now ordered it will be able to do so. And if pumping power is still wanting, another one may be added for very few thousand dollars. Take the $14,OOO now paid for cleaning and caring for ditches, add to it the S3,- 900 now paid to the assessor for ir rigating water and one has a total of S17, 1000 annually to dump into the water department if necessary to pay for irrigating the few lots that raise growing things and watering the street trees from the hydrants. While no engineering opinion has been se- cured on the subject, it looks to a layman as though S17,OOO would pump a great deal more water in a year than is supplied ta the few lots in the city that are irrigated. Indeed the prediction is ventured that the s14,00O saved annually on the expense of the street cleaning department by the elimination of the ditches, would fur nish the irrigation water needed free ] of cost and still leave a balance of profit to the city. after the first in 1 stallation of the added pump that might possibly be necessary. This is not an argument either for free water. | Doubtless the lot owners would pay fair price for their water and then there would surely be a nice profit to | the city, which could afford to spend little more money on the streets, and would at least reduce the duties of the street department enough so it l could put more work on the streets | by cutting out the ever present ghost of the ditchas.

SUGGESTION
 IF REFORM IA Much NGeGed One That Will Not Cost Anything CITIZEN AND COUNCILMAN They Are Asked to Consider a Matter That Has Long Been an Expense to the City and an Eyesore to Visitors.
CITIZEN AND COUNCILMAN

Phoenix during the last two or three years has been taking hold of her municipal problems quite wig orously and it may be truthfully said has been making good progress. The matter of the old city warrants. the water works, the building of side walks and the preliminaries for se- curing a sewer system, are well unlcr way, as is the consideration of a number of minor problems. There :s one, other matter of great importance that is felt in certain quarters can not be taken up too soon, that of the city irrigation ditches. It is believed by many whose experience and ob servation entitle them to a respectful hearing, including some members of the city administration, that the solu- ton of the ditch problem lies in the eXterminatiOn of the ditches and the watering of plant life within the corporation lines, with water from the city water works by means of hose, hydrants, etc. This article is not designed to be an argument either for or against the plan, but merely to recite the facts on both sides, that the people as well as the city council may give the subject thought.
 All observing citizens know that

They came across the snake in the tunnel of the old Charlie F.. Case mine, while hunt ing. The light in the tunnel was somewhat dim, and the first thing they new of the reptiles presence was a yell from Westcott. that sounded like the explosion of a cIn- non ball. That Mir.

FAVORS WET TOWN.
Denver Property League Committee
Makes a Report.

Denver. Col. Dec pa committee
appointed L by the Denver Property
league, an organization made UP of own
ers of business blocks in the downtown
district. to recommend a policy concern
ing the sale of liquor in Denver, has
reported in favor of wet town.
But this recommendation carries with
it a number of suggestions looking to
the placing of restrictions upon the sa-
looms. These include the establishment
of a wet zone which will take in
only the upper down town district elimi-
mating the tenderloin limiting the num-
Der of licenses issued to 200. and in
oreasing the annual fee from $500 to
$500; suppression of wine rooms and
making territory within certain radius
of churches and school houses, even in
the wet zone" prohibition ground.
Under this plan saloons are absolutely
prohibited in residence districts.
$ The above recommendations are made
with a view of warding off the fight to
make Denver a dry town. which re-
suit, the committee believes, would ruin
'sour reputation as convention city
and as entertainers of tourists who visit
US as guests
The matter will come up before the
whole body in a week. There is talk of
submitting the plan to the people as an
amendment to the city's charter

chair and mumbles about his glorious
past one can see the Army of Italy as it
made the perilous passage of the Alps;
can hear the cannon at Austerlitz; can
feel the enthusiasm of the army when Ney
led the old guard into the crater at Fried
land; can realize the tragic bravery of
that guard at Waterloo when it made the
last charge and the last stand in the
squares that were annihilated by the Eng
fish artillery after all infantry and cavalry
charges had recoiled from their adaman-
tine sides.
The story of the old guard from Maren-
go to Waterloo is the greatest story ever
told in the annals of warfare. The men
of the guard were the picked veterans

the day by a charge or save the army

had no parallel since time began.
To Mr. Hanford has been given the
wonderful power of reproducing this old
symbol of all this glorious past, who is
a perfect type of all that the imagination
pictures of soldier of the old guard.
When he prattles of his marches and
his battles it is a reminiseenee that one
listens to, not a stage scene. His accents,
as he talks of Massena, LanneS, Besseieres,
Davoust, Soult Murat and the rest of
Napoleon's marshals, are those of man
served under them in the storm and car
mage of war.
The scene where the old veteran apos-
trophies his rheumatic legs for faiiing
him is the perfection of pathos. and his
efforts to handle his old musket again,
this is a masterpiece of reproduction

which carried a load of clothing, food,
toys and good things for the hungry
and unhappy and suffering children, and
conveyed to the father the information
that he had been restored to his place
on the police force. from which he had
been removed on December 1.
Baskas' removal was for reasons I'M
known to the public. but it was only
one of a series of disasters to the Bas-
kas home. He had served faithfully on
the force for IS years. Following his
dismissal Mrs. Baskas died, leaving the
husband unemployed and without means
of support to care for the seven young
children. Soon after the father was
taken i'll, and restitution was the lot
of the family.
Last week this condition was called
to the attention of the city authorities,
and the reinstatement of Baskas was
made a part of a jolly Christmas sur
prise for him and his babies.
