Old and New Battles

When we hear or think of the gigantic operations the European battefieds apt consider all previous military engagements like of our affairs. We early made acquainted with the fact that though bigger the present operations are different, that there cannot well be a comparison between them and the great battles of former wars. Aside from the great drives that have taken place. and they rather than battles the battles have in particular resembed the battles Gettysburg, Lao Yang and Mukden.
 We have seen in of our exchanges a statement that of the battles of the an old time conflict consisting of charges and bayonet fighting . and was spectacular and much comprehensive than any previous battles that had been waged of the Somme must have been a pygmy affair pared with Gettysburg. Liao Yang Waterloo for according to the teegraphic they ragged along only few miles of the front whereas the other ties have mentioned, well many others in earlier wars extended along fronts of many miles great and detached skirmish of less importance than many of the skrmishes that took place at Get tysburg. all of the latter having immediate bearing the final result and being part of the great battle and contributing a smashing victory.

ures have been taken against it. The extent of the damage caused by flood of last Saturday is not known, but it is estimated that it aggregates than s5OO00 It is probably that much alone in live stock, poultry bees ruined orchards, crops. and in damages lands the latter item being difficult to estimate. Though in times past greater volume of has poured the country previous Cave Creek flood has occasoned great loss, for never before was there so much in it's path to be destroyed
 There is another loss that cannot be easily com puted, confidence by residents of that part of the country ravaged by these floods. Small hold ings have for long time been advocated, the owner ship of tracts of from ten to forty for fruit poultry and intensive farming. Within the last few years many such holdings have been established north west of the city in that territory where the soil is known as "Glendae loess" formed by the detrtus carried down by floods for ages.
 These modern floods will discourage the small holders and though they only comparatively small part of the valley, stories which out corning them will associate them with the entire val ley Therefore it is the interest of every property in the valley that effective precautions be against the recurrence such events as that of last Saturday.
 Various suggestions have been made within the last fifteen years for taking of the Cave Creek floods. One is the digging of a channel north of the first mountains to Skunk Creek tributary of the New River that the Cave Creek waters will be diverted that way Another and the ire queny discussed is the construction of dyke north of the Arizona canal far enough throw the waters into New River. Such a dyke. it is estimated would cost about s30OOO considerably less than the damage caused by the fod of last Saturday.
 It is not wholly irrelevant mention that the damage of Saturday the greater because of a
 
 canal from a point east of Central point north of Glendale. The canal moved to higher ground in order that it might have deeper channel that much of the banks would be washed out in flood times Account appears not to have been taken of the fact that this arrangement would the banks of the canals farther south more open to attack They went out Saturday by the floods that passed the Arizona canal It costs as much to repair the banks of one canal as another.

LET NO DOG BARK

With the fall of darkness and it's larger silence, the vedlt awoke. Animals that had dozed through the hot hours in somnolent content quivered alert. There runnings here and there, the stamp of hoofs sharp snortings as stretched. Zebras uttered the absurd small dog bars peculiar to them, ostriches boomed jackals yapped, unknown birds uttered nasty wild calls Numerous hyenas, near and far away, moaned like lost souls Kingozi listened as to the voice of old acquaintance tell ing familiar things the chattered on, their whole attention within the globe of light from their fires.
 But suddenly the noise stopped as though it had been cut by knife.
 Total silence fell the little encampment.
 The men, their various actions suspended, listened intently. From far away, apparently, a low vibrat- ing rumble stole out of the nights immensty. It rose and seemed to draw near, growing hollow and great, until the very ground seemed to trembe as though heavy train passing the lower notes of great organ had been played in little church
 And then it died down, and receded to the great distance again, and ended by three low, grunt- ing coughs
 The veldt silent The zebra barlings were still; the night birds had hushed; the hyenas and jackals. and all the other night creatures down. calls and cries and chrpngs One might imagine every living creature rigid alert listening, were these men about the little fires.
 The tension relaxed. The dropped more fuel on the fires coaxing the flames brighter whisper ing comment rose from group to group
 "Simba! Simba!" they hissed to the other.

In the Most August Body!
(The Chicago Tribune)


 The gentleman from Arizona Senator Ashurst, aided and abeted by of his grave and reverend colleagues gave Wednesday exhibition in the senate of the United States which provides food for serious reflection. To characterize the exhibi- tion is difficult if moderation is to rule comment Senator Ashurst referred to the obese form of Sen ator Penrose and indulged in language and action of vulgarity and violence he would not be allowed to indulge himself in the floor of a demorazed state legislature city council
 The present congress has not presented itself in very dignified attitude through the recent railway crisis, and ill afford permit it's credit to be further tarnished The senate brides itself upon the title of 'the most august deberative body in the world" If outbreaks like that of Ashurst permit ted and condoned the phrase will pass only for it's bitter irony

sort of way, with an occasional remark as to the seeming indifference of the voter.
 One gentleman. and he a democrat, in discussing this condition, ventured the remark that the campaign had been one of such bitter personal vituperation that it had left the voters rather dazed and somewhat doubtful as to whether their favorite candidate was not after all too full of imperfections to enlist their earnest support, and they had decided to back off until the general election and let the other fellow take the responsibility. However true this theory may have been. the fact remains that folks did not fall over themselves in their attempt to get at the ballot box. Not more than half the vote of Mesa precinct was boiled

NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT

What came near being a fatal acci- dent occurred mile east of Roosevelt, when a car driven by Hugh Dana was struck by a heavy Cole car with Nichols, a stage driver, in charge In the Dana car besides the driver was Mrs. Dana, her mother, Mrs Hund- saker, and a gentleman named Jorgen- son. They were travelling toward Mesa and on curve met the Cole, which was coming at a rapid rate of speed Dana swung his car toward the outer edge, but too late to escape the collision. Fortunately this turn was toward the upper side of the road, otherwise the car with it's occupants would have gone over the embankment. The occupants of the Dana car were not seriously in- jured, and the damages to the car will be taken care of by the stage line, so Wesley Hill the manager. states.
