WATER WOHKS MONUS SALE.
No Further Question as to Flagstaff's
Water System.
Telegrams received from Mr. A. T.
Cornish, who Is now in St. Louis nego
tiating for the sale of the bonds issued
by tlio town for the purpose of putting
inasjstomof water woiks, Indicate
that the deal is practically closed ou
terms that will bo acceptable to the
Council. So far as can bo learned, no
difficulty whatever has been experi
enced in maklug tho sale. Indeed,
there is no reason whatever why there
should be. The bonds are strictly gilt
edge, and no safer or more conservative
investment is offered on any market.
It is a pronounced tributo to the credit
and standing of the town that they
bavo found so ready a sale, but noth
ing moro than was to bo expected.
Flagstaff has earned tho reputation of
meeting her obligations (irmly, prompt
ly aud honorably, and this has stood
her in good stead in tho present in
stance. Bully! Now let tho Council secure
tho best possible bid for tho constt ac
tion, and wo'll celebiato tho Fourth as
wo novcr did before.

Snake In Ills Cycle.
John Hessu mid Edward Gramlic.li
of Carlstadt, N. J., were held up'hy-a
black snake Sunday night, while riding
on their whculs from Union Hill to
CurMadt, says the New York Journal.
The snako became! entangled in tho
spokes of Hesso's wheel, and Hesse
insists that it punctured his tire with
its fangs.
The young men left Union Hill about
dark to lide to their homes, anil, when
crossing what is known as tho cedar
swamp, Hesso felt the faint wheel of
his machine suddenly give out, and,
jumping to the ground, found the the
had been punctmed. On further in
vestigation ho was nearly fiightened
out of his nils by tho sight of u largo
black snake lit inly wound up in the
spokes of iu's wheel. Tho snako kept
its forked tongue darting in and out
at him.
Hesso called for Gramlich, who was
in tho lead, to halt and come to his
assistance. Tho smike was wound up
in ilio wheel so tightly that they did
not know how to kill it without injur
ing tho wheel. Finally Guimlich
plucked up courage enough to cut its
head off with a large jackknife lie had
iu his pocket. They wcie then obliged
to caiTo the snako up into small pieces
to get it out of the wheel, and while
doing this they mot with another sur
prise iu tho shape of a frog, which they
. found in tho stomach of the snako.

W. F. Goodhue, of Milwaukee, Wis.,
was in our city last Friday and Satur
day. Mr. Goodlitie is consulting en
gineer for the company putting in the
system of waterworks for the mines
ami village of White Hills, and is hero
to examine the probablo water supply
and study the diffeient plans proposed
for installing Flagstaff's water system.
Ho seems to bo thoroughly posted in
everything appertaining to water
supplies, and thinks Flagstaff ought to
secure an abundant source aud a most
economic sj stem of water at i casouable
expense.
The establishment of a water works
8) stem in Flagstaff, means tho location
of a plant to prescrvo railroad ties.
A flowering mill would bo another
appendage and then our ranchers
would at once engago in raising wheat,
and many dollars sent abroad for flour
would bo left at home. A good wool
scouring establishment most likely
would bo located here, and a smelter
would do a thrivingbiisiness. A great
many other enteipiises might follow
if the town is supplied with an abund
mien of water. No need of tho city
is greater than this one, and no doubt
iu less than three months Flagstaff
can lay claim to as fine a system of
water works as can ho found in Ari
zina. All hail to the day when this
will bo done.
