High Water Comes.
Water Company No. l today had 100 feet of water
against 731 yesterday and 200 feet normal supply That
the amount was not larger disappointment but it
is believed there will be considerable increase in day
or two.
Last night the river had reached the 2O-foot stage
at Yuma according to telegraph advices to the Press from
the Reclamation Service, and the discharge was $500
feet against about 10000 feet at the time Of the water
shortage last year. This is raise of feet in the river
since the low point Of several days since and yet in spite
Of the rapid rise Of the river the water supply has only
reached tlifle over 60 per cent normal.
This would indicate that no benefit is yet apparent
from the wer though it is believed it will begin to
accomplish its purpose If there hitch in the work
planned there is water being distributed the
West Side today from Volcano lake, the completion Of
the canal being delayed 40 days from the announced time

costs the South $50,00OO00 a year.
A Western railroad has resorted
to novel way to reduce its envelope
bill during the past few months.
Train reports and other written bust
ness matters are sent out in envelopes
which have been ruled into IL squares
for names and addresses. Every time
an envelope reaches its destination
the name and address is crossed off
and another written in the next
space. In this way one envelope is
made to do the work of II. It is
only discarded when all the spaces
have been used. Nearly $1,000 has
been saved from the usual expendi-
'ture for envelopes. When a large
corporation is not above such econ
omy, why should the individual be?
A railroad corporation in the East
is helping some of its employees to
use their time to good advantage by
allowing them to go to school, and
learn something that will enable them
to make more money. This railroad
conducts correspondence courses of
instruction in which nearly 10000 Of
its employees are enrolled as students.
Upwards of $500 of these pupils
are Italians who are studying the
English language by mail and are
fitting themselves to be citizens and
better workmen. The remainder of
the students are enrolled in courses
in mathematics and practical electric
ity. These new Corners to Our coun:
try are learning the lesson Of thrift
of time.

"kronstadt."

An interesting legend is told con-
corning the origin of the name of the
city of Kronstadt. The old town hall
is supposed to stand on the spot where
\ golden crown was found in the stump
of tree in 1904. The royal emblem
was believed to have remained hidden
here for more than 100 years. 1t was
identified as having belonged to King
Solomon of Hungary, who concealed it
lest it fall into the hands of the pursu-
ing Bulgarians. Hence the name, KrOn
Stadt.

White of an Egg.

The white of an egg is made up OF
little cells filed with albumen. By
beating the white these cells are rup-
tured and oxygen from the air is in
closed, which gives the white and light
appearance of beaten eggs. The white
of a stale egg will no. inclose as much
oxygen, will not be as light ana as
easily disested as that OF the fresh egg
and is, of course, less valuable. The
inheritance of beating the egg in cold,
pure air is readily seen.-Exchange.

TREADWELL. Sept. 15.-Shortly before midnight last night the home of Paul Kegcl Trealwell bandmaster was completely destroyed by a fire which started. presumably from a small fire which Kegel had left in his coal stove before going Co Doug las earlier in the evening
 The fire had gained great head way before it was even noticed and although the various fire companies were on the scene within few sec. onds after the alarm was sounded, it was impossible to force water into the burning structure immediate ly. as the exterior was covered with sheet iron.
 Besides the loss of a $500 piano, three fine clarionets, valued at $75 each. and an expensive cello, the Treadweu bondmaster said this morning that he he'd lost scores of music which he had brought with him from Germany and which he would be unable Co replace. Mir. Kegel had his house furnished re- gently with splendid new furniture and costly rugs, all of which were lost Insurance to the extent of 5000 will partially cover the loss.
 Mir. Kegel left home shortly after s o'clock last night for Douglas and had just started home about 11:SO o'clock when the fire siren sounded.
