Phoenix
PHOENIX, June 21.-That the Mari
copa and Phoenix extension will soon be
in Mesa now seems assured. The man
agement of the extension, known as the
Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa railway,
have been for months working on the
right of way and this week the matter
was practically settled.
The right of way had been asked over
the regular Mesa road east of Tempe.
This was considered by the supervisors as
closing that stretch of road to
wagon travel. But Manager Honshell of
the Maricopa and Phoenix, who knew
the temper OF the southsiders, sent
special engine and the chair car to
Tempe and brought over a delegation of
,tx.Ar Of hn ~.
zens of Tempe and Mesa. The delegation
attended, almost in body, the session of
the board OF supervisors, and when they
had departed all franchises asked for had
been granted.
The line will pursue the route follow
ing the Hadyen canal from its intersec-
ton with Third street, Tempe, and en-
tering Mesa upon the northern street of
the townsite.
4 To replace, if need be, the roadway
thus partially appropriate d, the super
vlsors, on petition of resiuents, ordered
the opening OF road upon the half Sec
tion line one-half mile north OF the
Tempe school house, from Mill avenue,
Tempe, eastward to it's intersection with
the Main street of Mesa. Much of the
road is now already in use and right of
way has been donated for the remainder.
The change is one that often has been
discussed by the people OF Mesa and
pc ana Will De OF Nalue IN shortening |
what is now circuitous route.
The management of the Maricopa and
Phoenix state that in ninety days at the |
farthest at least four local trains per day
will be flying between Phoenix and Mesa,
by way of Tempe, thus bringing everv |
portion of the valley closely in touch /
with the coounty seat. Work on the road |
is now to at once commence, and IS to |
be pushed through with all vigor.
Harry l.. Caraway is in the city from |
Sonora, Mexico. Mr.. Caraway is the |
manager OF one of the largest tracts of |
in all Mexico. His possessions |
cover $40, 900 acres of rich farming and |
grazing land, and is forty miles in ex- |
tent. He says that there is considerable |
water in the Sonora valley but 1t is not
utilized and therefore the irri- |
gable land is limited. He is going to
have large pumping plant set up to irri-
gate part Of his possessions. and is in |
this city for that purpose. Mr.. Caraway |
married the widow of the late Gen. Pes |
quiera, one Of the most famous soldiers of |
Mexico before his death. Mr.. Caraway |
is pleasant, agreeable gentleman and is |
making host of friends in Phoenix.
James Anderson, who is in the city |
from Globe, has lived in the territory for |
