Great Baseball Play.

what was the greatest baseball
play you ever saw" asked a friend of
Governor-elect John w. Tener.
1.-The greatest play l ever saw" said
he. took place in an amateur game
on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on a wet field and an
outfielder who wore a derby hat went
after a high fly. He came to a little
pond and taking his eye off the ball
made a jump to cross it. AS he was
leaping the ball struck him on the
head, went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base rum
ner was out and the fielder had not
touched the ball with his hands. Can
you beat it?"-Washington Core

Rue des Mauvias Garcons signed a pe- titiOn praying that the name of the street be changed They contended that the denomination of the thOrOughfare in which they reside produced a bad impression on those 'tO whom they are obliged to give their address.
 This street of the Bad Boys was. it appears, so named in the sixteenth cen tury because of the nOsiy character of its inhabitants. But now it neers no such designation, those who reside there being for the ost part peaceful and respectable citizens, who think it high time that their street was given another name.

 The fight was the result of a dis pute concerning the ownership of some cattle. A small boy. the only witness of the tragedy. says all three men were mounted and that shortly after they met shooting began. An empty shooter was found beside the body of Ed Hall while clutched in the hand of his brother was a revolver fully loaded. Zumwalt surrendered to the sheriff. Further than to admit that he did the shooting, he would make no statement.

ODDLY NAMED STREETS.
Queer Designations of Thorouehfares in
 Great Cites.

RFhere are many curious street names in the European cities, and of these London preseuts bewilderng variety. Bermondsey possesses a FIckel Herring
 street. Near Gray's inn there is to be found Cold Bath square. Most of the Nightingale lanes and Love lanes are hidden. ironically enough in the slums of the Cast End of the British capital
 In Brussels some of the street names are really bizarre. The Short street of the Long Chariot, the street of the Redhaired Women. and the Street of Sorrows are remarkable enough to catch the least Observant eye The Street of the One Person is, as one might guess, an extremely narrow one But the cream of the Brussels street names surely belongs to the street of the Uncracked Silver Cocoanut.

 The reports of the reclamation ser vice, complete as they are, are not sufficient for the various depart ments, each one carrying on inves- tigations and compiling statistics for there own individual books. To the majority of people it will come as d surprise 10 learn that the departmnt of commerce and labor, and the de- partment of agriculture are securing cooperative reports of the progress of the work in the valley, inVestigat- ing through their agents the sums ex- pended by property holders whether companies or private individuals, for the improvement of their holdings. To learn whether Jonathan Smith of any particular where in the val ley is sinking a we'll on his place it is necessary to see Jonathan The books Of either of the two depart ments. mentioned, or of the United States reclamation service, will fur nish as much, as complete, and as re- liable information as JOhnathan him self, perhaps better since figures do not lie, while farmers have oc- casionally been known to jump the track when describing the improve ments conducted on their own cher ished acres The cooperative report for the two departments of commerce and labor and agriculture is being secured under the direction of James B.

Kitch has been in Phoenix for the last six months engaged in di- recting the necessary inquiries, and although he has six agents working with him he finds his hands full, for the information he is gathering is staggering in it's completeness. The departments wish to know the total of the acreage under cultivation, the improvements being carried on, whether large or small; the amount of monies expended by land owners; the number, size and location of all wells dug, whether artestian or non- flowing; the extent of irrigation inn provements of all kinds, taking in ditches. canals, laterals, and garden ditches; and finally, the affidavits of every farmer who moves, pushes. or in any way disturbs a shovelful of earth on his property, showing why he committed said move. push or dis

ton is made that it will be genera tions before the silt question will he one for serious worry, respecting the big reservoir, and when the worry time comes. the dam fortu- nately can be built very much high CT. if desired, for a very modest amount of money. If necessary to build it a great deal higher it would require greater thickness. but that can easily be provided by adding width to the lower side of the dam, clear to the bottom of the founda- flood water as in the original con- struction. It would merely require little excavation and the adding of the required amount of masonry on the stone steps of the lower side, to make the dam as thick as anybody wanted it.
 The canyon walls at that point are sufficiently high to make the dam twice as high if necessary. though probably before such an altitude would be reached it would be neces- sary to build smaller dams or re- taining walls at the lower swales leading out of the basin, miles away But there is room for much more altitude before this occurs and ev- cry added foot of height means thou sands of acre feet of water The silt question was quite a bugbear to some in the early days of the pro- ject but it's seriousness long ago faded away.
 But the suggested Gisela dam is pleasing to speculate upon for other and more practical reasons. First if it is ever found that the Roose- welt reservoir is too small to retain the annual run-off it may be found practicable and cheaper to build other and smaller dams further up the tributary streams, than to build the Roosevelt dam a great deal higher. And if the Roosevelt reser- voir is found amply sufficient for all the lands it is expected to water and there is any considerable acreage in the mountain valleys above. small CT dams may be built to provide them with a dependable water sup ply. perhaps a supply greater than they need. so the big reservoir sup ply can he augmented by the ex- cess.

Two Boys Narrowly
Escape Drowning.

Walker Noble AMI Russell Freeman
had a narrow escape, Friday afternoon,
from drowning in the Kennebec river
in front of the boat wharf. The boys
were attempting to take a ride in an
old boat made of box boards, when the
water began pouring into it through
hole. which was made for rope with
which to hitch it by. They got excited
and in some way capszed the boat.
but, as they could swim little. both
boys tried to cling to the bottom of
the overturned boa5.
The Freeman boy lest his hold of the
boat and went undel it. He did not.
however. stay long under the water.
for the Noble boy helped him to regain
his hold on the eapsi2ed boat. Vernon
Soule and Raymond Rush, also young
bows. were near in another boat and
went To the rescue as quickly as they
could The Noble boy was helped into
the boat. but the Freeman boy was so
excited that he did not dare to climb
into the boat, but olung to it and was
dragged to shore in safety.
The boys did not stop long on the
shore but quickly ran for their homes,
being very wet and badly frightened
nv their experience.
