of places in town where both food and | lodgings can be obtained but the one thing needful is an hotel with ample 1 1 accommodations. Until we have the need supplied the town will be the sufferer, as many invalids who would otherwise remain with us during the winter pass on to where they can find suitable accommodations There was some talk that the Tempe 1 Improvement company would build new hotel on the site of the one burned few years ago, but nothing has come of it, and the improvement company is in the same position it was in several months ago. | The street car line in this city has become famous. Several months ago The Republican published an article stating that the street railway was the only system operating in the United States that carried passengers free of charge. The line is operated by the Goodwin brothers, who manage to keep the car moving without any other remuneration than the thanks Of the public. The line was originally built as money-making proposition and for few months after it was started did a good business The pat rons finally got out of the way of drop ping a nickel in the box and if per chance some stranger would board the car and deposit his fare the driver and mule would both drop dead of heart disease. This was expensive to the company and disastrous to the con- munity, so now every citizen is his own street car driver, and the mule is a permanency. The Goodwin boys recently received requests from east ern newspapers for photographs of the car and the owners, a morbid public being curious to see the pictures of the only car line, probably, in the world that is maintained by the own CTS at their own expense for the ac- commodation of the public.
