 The Maricopa County "Divlsion"-
 Arrangements Will Be Made for
 the Reception ot the Irrigation
 Congress Delegates.
 TEMPE, Ariz, Dec. 5.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican)-l The Tempe News today in an editorial very properly arraigns The Gazette for it's article on the division of Maricopa countyA The News says if The Gazette would supply itself with a special south side correspondent it might sue ceed in getting hold of something stranger than fiction.
