 Two weeks ago Mrs. w. A. Tweed arrived in Phoenix from Kansas iCty. When she arrived she was sufferin g so much with pulmonary troubles that she could not walk around. Yesterday she had so far recovered that she walked several blocks unaided. This shows what this climate can do in some cases.

 From a careful computation it is es- timated that about twice the number of people who summered last year in the northern part of the territory will go north this year instead of to the coast.

 El Paso Herald: ''The Phoenix Re publican in reporting a concert by the Eleventh infantry band at that place says: The selections were the most classical, and the immense throng of listeners regretted when the pro- gramme was ended So it seems that Phoenix has reached that commenda- ble stage where its citizens can and vii appreciate classical music'' The Herald deplores the fact that Phoenix is ahead of JEl iPaso on that point. The Fl Paso people are either entirely de- void of musical sentiment or. else the above item is a gentle hint for the bands of that city to practice on the plains.
 c. D. Ward was yesterday found guilty in Justice Johnstone's court of dumping garbage in the ditch. He will receive sentence today. Since his trial has been in progress it developed that the town ditch has been used as dumping place for garbage by sev- eral persons living along it's banks. Such being the case all violators of the city ordinance covering the case should be prosecuted. A good many families have been depending on the canal for water and it is a great wonder that sickness is not prevalent amongst them. A close watch will now be set on the canal and any person found dumping refuse into the ditch will be prosecuted.

There is an ordinance against leaving horses unhitched and any one detected in it's violation should be promptly arrested and punished to the full extent of the | law. Our city marshal has been so | ofH ir o11 o1e os, o1r hope he may at once turn his attention
