DUNHAM STREET SEWER. Excellent Progress Being Mads or Work Which Started Monday,

Since work was started on Monday on the Durham street sewer, excellent progress has been made, and in the first two days 125 feet was laid, The sewer layout extends TAO feet from Thames street to the last house on Durham street, and the average cut Is Ia feet and the extreme cut 16 l-2 feet, While there is no ledge in the way, the caving gravel in the street will delay the work to seme extent and it will be at least three weeks job, The completion of the Water street job well within tha representation of s3,000 last week was pleasing, This sewer was 275 feet long and was through solid ledge, although much blasting was avoided by putting the pipe alongside the read in the eeiiers of the buildings that are new being ra<sd,

tiOns. nor !s he given to fulsOme praise of things just to be polite, but beneath his recital of facts he deVOtes himself to study of economic prin- ciples and to comparisons of success in government, seeking the lessons sought by the experiences of various nations. For instance he spoke of his own country as being a constant suf- ferer through the fact that it has no colonies for development; no new re- gions to exploit that gives an outlet or an encouragement to new enter pTises the result being that the peO- pie are lethargic and can scarce be induced to develop those things that are available in the home land. He believes there is opportunity for much reclamation work in southern Austria where the people are poor and many live under conditions little less severe than the western Indians who have no conception of the possibilities that surround them The young blood and energy of Austria to a large degree seeks an outlet in this and other new countries and the nation itself is the loser, left with the old and decrepit to care for, while it's best talent seeks other fields

of the societies he represents He is an engineer in private practice and says that between the completion of one big task and the beginning of an other, annually if possible. he tries to devote some time to travel for his own enlightenment and pleasure. He believes in keeping abreast Of the times and regards it a duty in his line of work, as well as a pleasure. Engineers in the days of rapid ad- vance must keep their eyes open to what is going on all over the world or they will soon be behind the times. In this way the doctor says he has visited every country in Eu- rope and believes he is quite familiar with all that is going on in the way of large construction, but he admits that he was more than surprised when he reached America, not only with the magnitude of operations but at the many big undertakings that even the most alert scientific and professional men hear little or noth- ing about.
 This year the doctor planned to cross America with but slight ob- servation to the right or the left, and sail over the Pacific to China which country he desires especially to give d looking over from an engineering point, of view. But on arriving in New York and then visiting the cap ital he was introduced to so many big things in this republic that he de- cided his vacation season should be spent here and here alone. Moreover he would lose no time in any quarter realizing that he cannot see near all he wants then in the limited time of his stay. Though he is pursuing his investigations in his own way and without commission from the govern ment or orders from anyone else, the societies to which he belongs are only too glad to take and pay reasonable compensation for the reports he makes or large undertakings encountered in his travels.
 In Washington he was shown through the departments and became particulparly interested in the oper- atiOns of the reclamation service. He learned at the capitol of the many big projects, among them the Salt River valley, and said that the con- structiOn of the Roosevelt dam had never DtcH even DTOuSnl lO lllc dl- tention of engineers in his country. or at least he had never heard of 1t until he reached Washington. Natur- ally on arriving here he made a bee line for the dam, returning Thursday night. He said yesterday that he re- garded 1t as a magnificent piece of engineering and the great reclamation project it serves as a wonderful study in economic development. Yesterday afternoon was spent in looking over the distributing system with the en- gineerS of hte reclamation service, and the project will be the subject of an interesting report to his societies, to which end he is taking copious notes while here. The doctors journey to Phoenix was by the Grand Cany on which of course impressed him as it does all visitors.

ADVENTURE OF
 A NERVY GIRL
Stopped a Runaway Team in the Dark by Seizing Horse by the Birdie Bit, Escaping Unhurt; Police Took Charge

Partly because she saw something that ought to be done and responded to the call of what seemed to be her duty, and partly perhaps in self de- fense, Miss Martini, a young woman who was walking east on Washing ton street at a street intersection just east of the capitol building be- came almost a heroine last night in the stopping of a runaway team.
 The team was attached to a spring wagon and had been moored to a hitching post at 913 West Madison street last evening. About 9 o'clock it slipped the cable and took to the highway regardless. The team ran north until it reached Washington street then straight west on that thoroughfare until it came to the cross street referred to which it is understood was Sixteenth avenue. Miss Martini chanced to be crossing

 Auto parties came in from the bridge and the Tempe road with re- ports of the fine speed being de- veloped.

 The race was the result of the natural pride of two rival dealers in their stock.
