BLESSED RAIN;
 MAY BE MORE
Platter Begins Last Even ing Early Morning In dications for Continuance of Storm Moisture Need ed On Farm and Range.

Like mama from heaven falling in liquid form blessed rain struck the bald pates of the just and splashed the polished boots of the unjust few minutes before o'clock last evening.
 Eager farmers took d Squint sky ward. and contentedly guessed it would rain all night" pedestrians stuck ou- their hands unbelievingly to see if it was real and here and there an apologetic looking umbrella ap- peared from the limbo of forgotten things.
 As each drop struck the dusty road little splatters of dust puffed up in protest. and the moon, after struggling valiantly with an unwonted situation, gave up in disgust and permitted the curtain to drop over its shining face.
 The stage was set for a real rain, the first in about five months. and for d couple of hours the promise seemed to be in the way of fulfillment Then the rain stopped. a few stars came out and the moon sent silvery messenger to peep around the edge of night and report on the prospects for a resump- ton of the interrupted performance.
 The report was adverse and the fair face of Luna disappeared from mum dane view to be no more seen by those who go to bed before cock growing.
 The weather bureau has nothing to do with the Sunday brand of goods and this may account for the rain. Today tho acting director will be on the job again and with his able as- sistance the people of the valley are praying that the storm may be con- tinued in our next.
 At an early hour this morning all sign pointed to more wet weather, but in Arizona all signs have been known to fail on more than one occasion.
 There has been nothing more than a trace of moisture since last October and the valley and the ranges would receive many thousands of dollars benefit should the premonition of last evening develop into a real sure enough storm.
 The season for winter rains is well advanced and if the present distur- bance passes us by there is likely tO be nothing doing in the J. Pluvius line until summer.

OCEAN LINERS AND SHIP
 CHANNELS.

At the eighth International Con gress of Navigation at Paris in 1900 | the prediction that before a quarter ! century had passed there would be vessels afloat of 165 feet in length. eighty feet beam and thirty feet draft was received with amused ncredulity. The 'romancer of navigation" as the | prophet was called. erred only on the side of moderation Barely half the ! time allowed by MT. Corthell for the development of his romance" into a concrete fact has elapsed. and already the 1000-foOt long steamer looms up as an early probability The two 45.- 000-ton White Star liners are SS3 feet lcng. and the 56.000-tOnner now build- ing in Germany for the Hamburg American fleet will exceed 900 feet in length.
 Another International Navigation Congress. the twelfth. will be held at Philadelphia this year. and the pos sible maximum dimensions of future
 ocean liners will be one of the sub
 jects to be discussed. We hear even
 TOW, months in advance of the meet
 ing. that an eminent engineer of Am
 terdam k tO advise the congress that
 the maritime nations must prepare
 for the erly arrival of the 75.0oO-tOn
 ship. and that in a generation hence
 leViathanS of 100. .00O tons would be Ccursing back and forth on the trans
 atlantic steamship lanes. Such ves-
 sels would be 1900 feet long. I6o feet
 in beam and fifty feet in draft
 
 sters like this would be quite within the limits of engineering possibilities
 It may be that from a purely com
 mercial aspect such vessels could be run at a profit-although the adage against putting all ones eggs in d single basket is as applicable now as it ever ws.
 There is one consideration. how ever. that will compel shipbuilders to pause in their rivalTy-the maximum in ship construction has been reached. if not passed. If these vessels had to be navigated only out in deep blue water they could be built up to the limit of engineering possibility. But the biggest ship must come to port at times. and if it is too large to enter all but two or three harbOrs it's use fulness is greatly diminished All the worlds business cannot he done at two or three ports. Moreover even if the grea tdraft of these vessels could bc provided for by the deepening of channels, the maneuvering ar a ship 1900 or even 1000 feet long in a con tracted waterway would be dangerous to the monster itself as we'll as to

California With All Its World Fairs, Woman Suffrage and Progressive Laws, Still Lacks Some thing of Happiness.

California may have everything else desirable in the world. includ- ing woman suffrage and two big world eXpositions in the making, but the Golden state is certainly hay hungry. Almost daily the yearnins for hay is re-echoed across the Cali fOrnia desert to the new state of Arizona. A day or two ago this newspaper published the desire Of .cne California man to get in touch through the board of trade. with some one who had hay to sell. any where from a dozen carloads to as many trainlOads
 And now comes another similar letter. P C. Wall. who lives in Stockton. says: T would like to get the address of some good haymakers in your valley.

Extract from a Letter By T. M. Noble to a Kansas Newspaper. Land of Winter Summers and Un- told Wealth.

 nf Atwood. Rawlins county. Kansas
 who has been a visitor here for two
 winters, spending three or four
 months here on his last trip, writes
 in his own home paper, the Citizen | Patriot. published at Atwood. Kansas and tells of Phoenix. What others | think of Arizona is worth noting | The letter is long one and from
 it the following extract is printed: Phoenix contains many fine and shady drives. One. Central avenue will soon be one of the most beauti- I ful drives on the continent It is shaded with palms and many other beautiful ornamental trees. The win ters here are so mild and soubrious
 that they keep up the band concerts
 in the winter season at the park in the open air. The women attend them in bright colored ribbons and spring hats, and some of the men
 dress that way also Phoenix, besides
 being the capital has many other
 state institutions. The federal gov
 ernment also has quite a number.
 The Indians from all parts of the country patroniZe the government
 school here which is one of the larg- est. The Indian agency for the vari
 GUS tribes of New Mexico and Ari-
 zona is located here, also the U. s. land office The most important thing. of course. is the Roosevelt dam. This is said to be the largest arti- ficial body of water on the globe. The dam cost the government $9.- 100000. and was seven years in building. IL is built across Salt river. where the stream flows be- tween two mountains through gorge. It is 2S0 feet from the bed of the stream to the top of the dam Above the dam the gorge widens and the fall of the river so slight that the cubical contents of the reservoir are immense. Almost every variety of crop and vegetable that grows in Kansas grows here and in addi- tion. oranges. lemons, olives and grape fruit. The seasons are so long that some vegetables grow to fabul- GUS size. It is not infrequent to see a single cabbage head weighing fif- teen to twenty-five pounds

It now produces more copper than any other state be- sides a large quantity of gold. sil- yer. agates and many other preci- ous stones and valuable materials For the sightseer and naturalist il furnishes many wonders, its game in the forest reserves. its petrified forest. its Grand Canyon and its fossils of beauty and wonder.

STRIKEBOUND STREET
RAILWAY ORDEREDTO
KEEP SERVICE GOOD

DULUTH, MINI, Sept. 25.-The
street railway company here is facing
a unique problem today. In spite of
strike of its employees which has
resulted in rioting and the destruction
of property, it must at once inaugurate
and maintain a service equal to that
abandoned September 9 when the strike
was called.
The writ Of mandamus compelling
service was issued by Judge pibell.
The court held that it could neither
force the company to reinstate the
strikers nor could it compel the men to
return to work. But the company, it
was decided, under the terms of its
franchise. must maintain a sufficient
service.
The judge intimated that if disor-
ders broke out again either the city or
the company could reopen proceed
ings.
