\ STRENUOUS TRIP
 ..... TUCSON ID TEMPE
TOO MUCH RAIN MADE TRAVEL.
 ING DIFFICULT
The Desert was Like Bottomless r Mudhole and Tested the Endur-
 ance of Men and Machines.

L. F.. Pafford and Geo. Taylor. ac- companied by Halbert Miller. pulled in from the most strenuous trip it has ever been their experience to be mixed up in, about half past eight Monday evening. As readers are well aware, the gentlemen left here last Saturday for Tucson where they pur- chased two Rec automobiles. It was their intention to bring the machines home over land, and they were sue cessful in the attempt, but the trip was a trying one and one which hone of them would care to repeat Under ordinary conditions, the trip from Tucson is pleasant one, but in this instance the conditions were far from ordinary. .-.--.s.-s--
 The party left Tucson al a good hour Sunday morning and planned Co reach Tempe that same evening. Shortly after the start however, it commenced raining. It wasn't gentle little valley rain, but a regular cloud burst. They kept plugging along until eleven o'clock, when they were obliged to give up for the time being. After it let up a little, they went on their way again, but the desert was one solid mud hole and in some places seemed to be without bottom. One of the machines went in clear to the body, but eventually worked its way out This all took lots of time, however, and Red Rock was the stopping place that night, less than half the way home. The next day the roads were some better, but the run on in to Florence was not the best in the world. There it was found that the Gila was up and the machines had to be loaded onto a wagon and crossed in that manner This took more time and it was late in the af ternoon before both machines had been crossed. From there into Tempe the road was fine and the run made in a little over two hours.

TEMPE DAM
 DESTROYED Several Hundred Feet of il
 Burned Out .DESP|CABLE INCENDIARISM A Reward of $500 for the Arrest and Conviction of the Perpetrator of the Outrage Offered by Direc- tors of the Canal Go.
.DEsP|CABLE INCEND|AR|sM

The most dispicable piece of incen- diarism that ever took place in this section, occurred sometime during the past few days when a large portion of the Tempe brush dam was burned. The outrage was not discovered until late Monday evening, as 1t is the practice of Superintendent Crook dur ing low water to visit the dam but once a week. The dam is located di- rectly north of Mesa City and few people live in that vicinity. While it is known that a couple of boys saw the fire if any one else saw it, they did not take the trouble to inform MT. Crook or any one else connected with the canal company. Hence it was not until MT. Crook was in that vicinity on his regular visit Monday evening that he found the dam out of com mission, a little over two hundred feet of t having been burned away
 To those not familiar with the construction of the dam, d little ex- planation should be made in order that they may understand how the dam, could burn. The structure con- sistS largely. of brush weighted down with rocks. In this case, the conn pany taking advantage. of the low water some two or three months ago. put the dam in splendid shape and since then there has not been suffi- cient water in the river to soak the dam up Consequently it was dry as tinder and burned as such. Every particle of the dry brush burned out for the distance above stated, leaving only the rock to show where the dam was. A freshet at this time would work hundreds of dollars worth of damage in addition to what has aI- ready been done and would deprive the water users of full canal of water.
 No time will be lost in repairing the damage. In fact Superintendent Crook will start work this morning with a small force of men and teams. The necessity of working men and horses as well there at this season of the year is another hardship that is worked by the disaster. Both are needed in the harvest fields and are hard to get. The superintendent urg- es that all who can possibly spare teams send them there at once in order that the dam may be repaired before there is any high water.
 The directors of the company held a meeting Monday evening and as a result, placards bearing the following announcement were scattered broad cast over the country yesterday after noon:

 The directors are firm in their con- viction that the fire was of incen- diary origin. This belief is strength ened by a suspicion that rests on certain parties, but which at present lacks substantiation sufficient to war rant any arrests. The company. however, is determined to ferret out the perpetrators of the cowardly and see that the law works its full course. A more cowardly thing could scarcely be imagined and the directors of the company will spare no pains or money to see that the guilty parties are apprehended and given their just dues.

Birmfngham, Feb. 2.-(Special.1 1--In solving the Revenue disfarbance caused by prohibition in the city of Birming- ham, a remarkable lesson was drawn from years experience by the admin istration of Mayor George E. Ward.
 Opponents of prohibition had pro- claimed that 1t would ruin the city, close the. schools. and make grasSgrow in tho streets" After thirteen months Of experience, the city Is stiil not in ruins the schools are pursuing the even tenor of their way and although there have been fewer municipal con- Riets to work the streets, the grass Is no denser or more untidy than 1t was on January 1, 1908, when the 'ta-ta" was given the open saloons
 They like, to say .openi saloonS up in this bustling city. It Is asterm used advisedly because to a certain extent the saloons. for s5fna elements, hays only been transferred from the street front upstairs and around the corner.
 Hut plugging the enormous hole which prohibition kpockedstn the city $ purse. was an exciting and ,perpiexlng problem for the city fathers. It could not be said that the task devolved up- on friends of dry" any more than uP- on It's enemies, because there were men of both sides in the Council. Nor has [ the board sought to raise licenses to an absurd height to create acute oppo- sitfon and make prohibition react upon the merchants and other business men of Birmingham. Likewise, the men of eouncil who favored prohibition did not shoot too far short of the revenue ad- tuatrnent In order to save a revolt among the licensees and thus do in jury to the cause of prohibition.
 On the contrary, q most intelligent scheme seems to have been hit upon The finance experts of Council were face to face with real, stern set of conditions and there was no dodging the issue, Upwards of 12o saloons had been torn from the. city limits at one stroke. They had paid for the year 1907. s1l3,10e in licenses to the city. This amounted to practically one-sixth of the entire receipts of the general fund.
 Those were panicky times too, with which the Council and Mayor Ward had to deal. Naturally the committee turned to the license schedule to make up for the deficit in that fund. It was never hoped to i'll the hole from that source altogether, but 1t was the first resort After long study in commit fae, after nnany debates in the board meetfnra, after a chorus of kicks from tic smaller merchants the schedule vas 50 adjusted as to raise about e40,- 900 Towards supplying the vacancy of SIS, 100.
 And although financial depression was in the early months of 1908. being felt intensely In this district. there was . determination on the part of Mayor ward and Council to rely on the future

RAIL LINE PROPOSED
 DECATUR 10 RUsSETLvILLE

Decatur. Feb. 2--(Special. LA move. ment is on foot to build an interurban electric railroad from Decatur to Rus sellvilie. in Franklin County, about for. ty-flve miles distance on an air line. The proposed line is to run through Mcuiton. the county seat of IAwrencs County. 4
 The promoters of the. new road are. Captain W. H. Morris. of Russeliviile; Mir. Fitzgerald, of the Foster Creighton Company. of Nashville. Tenn. and others. 45s
 As yet there. is no definite informa- tion as to whether the line will be built or not. It would open up the Moultons Valley in Lawrence County. which is now without railroad. This ts one of the finest farming sections of North Alabama. It would also open up a fine mineral section of country west of Decatur in Lawrence and Frank lin Counties and besides the road would. without question, do fine pas senger business.
 It Is said that the road will likely be built at an early date.
