TEMPE ECHOES.

Rev. Fred Sheldon the new pastor of
the M. E.. church has arrived from San
Diego.
Walter Gregory returned yesterday
morning from flying visit to his father
at Maricopa.
The well.known legal firm of Bethune
& McCabe. of Tempe, has been re-
tanned as attorneys for the Utah Canal
company during the ensuing year.
Ben Goldman went out to the coast
last evening with five carloads of cattle.
The market is now fairly good and the
shippers here are taking advantage of
the rise,
Hendricks, the blacksmith, has be-
gun the erection of neat fve-room
cottage in Goldman's addition to the
town of Tempe. This is one of many
that will grace the beautiful sites of the
village before the holidays.
M. L. Dufey was in town yesterday
after new patent headgate that can be
adjusted only by the manipulation of a
key. Although water is as plentiful as
the sands of the desert it is yet con-
sidered sacred arJicle'and it is treas
ured with the same care and regularity
as is the family plate.
Fred Riley, of the Arizona Hardware
company's force, started out yesterday
afternoon with little red wagon and
two grip sacks full of catalogues with 8
view of canvasslng she south side from
house to house for this popular firm.
If successful in this venture the field
will be extended.
The mining fever seems to have
struck Tempe quite forcibly. Nearly
every business man has claim or has
a prospector grub staked looking for
one. The flattering results of the mill
now running at the Mammoth has
given q new impetus to the already
fever heat excitement. Many clain2f
now have large heaps of pay rock on
the dump, ready for shipment.
One hundred men and fifty teams
are pushing thesrepair work at the head
of the Consolidated canal and on Friday
the usual head Of water will be abduct-
ed from the river. During the late
freshet portion of the dam gave way
and the north side and the mouth OF
the canal was filed with a huge sand
bar. Its removal has been attended
with considerable cost to the company
but the inconvenience to patrons has
been slight.
The South Side is rapidly becoming
noted for its fine turnouts and during
the pleasant evenings (there are none
other) the many beautiful driveways
leading in every direction from Tempe,
are lined with carriages and light
vehicles of every variety, filled with
happy pleasuring people. While the
people are industrious, life is not
entirely given even to labor and we and
the equable cline is especially 4con-
ducive to out door life during the early
evenings.
The military boys who have been SO
enthusiastic in target practice had
their ardor dampened for short time
recently by the sudden appearance OF
Sam Tude, owner OF the grounds
where practice was held, on the scene
with the admonition to stopper he woald
prosecute them. With his consent the
targets were placed at an expence OF
$4,000 but the boys rallied and retreated
to the desert in good order where they
again proceeded to dig and lay the
foundation for new range on land
owned by Uncle Sam. AS they are in
his employ it is highly probable they
will not be moleeted unless some land
seeker should see charms in this desert
place that is not now observable.
