 ident that if tho whole south side was
 to be reached early every morning a faster and mere reliable mode of
 transpOq qtation. must be obtained. Judg- ing from what never took place, other
 journals would have let the matter rest as it was. but the spirit which had lifted The Republican above it's con-
 temporaries did not hesitate before 1 this obstacle, and after weeks of per- sistent effCrt a railroad bicycle was procured and Tight-Cf-Way on the rail- read obtained. The fifth Of March the
 first day this innovation in Arizona
 journalism rolled into Mesa City, will mark the beginning Of a new chap ter in the history of The Arizona Re pu lican.
 The circulation doubled itself in enc short month and the demands for gocd setvice became greater and greater. To meat these demands to some extent a new typesetting machine was cb tained. The linotype was net pur- chased solely because the south side wanted more news. but it permitted ths publication of twice the s-uth side news, which fact gave a new impetus | to the circulation and a greater de- mand on the Cottrell press that latored | morning while south si5e subscribers were waiting impatiently fer The Re | publican special laden with the news 1 10 make it's appearance. The office of l The Republican almost any morning ! last summer would have amused any visitor It never could be known when the CottreH press would strike fer less work and take a lay-off. Some l times it would run whole week and i the special would roll into Mesa on schedule time, and then it would be impossible to make it turn eff two editions dscently in succession. On these mornings the special would be late, indeed
 Day after day in feverish haste, with nerves strung to a fearful tension Foreman Bushley would work to gst off the unwialdly circulation, while the telephone wires were being heated i to incande5cenca with kicks" from eXasperated subscribers and also while the south side man sat moOdily fixing up some explanation to tell the dear ones beyond the Salt. Day aftsr day Press Feeder Dan Huntington would climb down from his perch to help Bushiey clean cut the sluggish ma chine and readjust some defective part
 One morning it was two hours late when Bushley was able only to get the press to run half the time and secure one decent paper cut Of three The telephone rang long and fiercely. "Go to hades," roared Bushley, facing the 'phcne with an awful lock The crushing and crumpling Of the paper in the folder called his attention back. The power of endurance gave way; h will cO11I6 no car Ia h int seit control, and in voice that was almost a vail he gave up the task. "Oh, ye imported gCdsi Was ! so prenicious, was I so lest in hopeless sin, was I implicated in such mon strous crimes; what unsps3kable, un- thinkable, nefarious life did I live? What unsuitable fate has me in charge that 1 should be denied an abode in a seething, splitting, foul inferno and be consigned tC such . place as this!" As he ceased he donned his hat and ccat and staggsrcl out Of the Cf1ce.
 Well" said Dan, another good man gone. Just watch that folder ill you get enough papers.
 The south side man with the feeling of Cne vino considers everything lest and laughs in derision, tock charge Of the folder The more it chewed up the papers and stopped ths press, the Oftener Dan had to get down off his perch. and the bstter it suited him l Enough papers were finally secured | and a start was made.
 It was nc. sasy thing to pump the special this morning. The south side man now had actually to face the dis satisfaction of his subscribers whose | patience had already been tried before this morning. The Phoenix circula- tion had bsen a few minutes late, and i he was two hours late. It was rain ing a Grizzly rain, and al attempt to | increase the speed resulted in lost el- fort as the wheels would slip Cn the rail. Poor Bushley. The thought made the rider shudder. Busflley, on whom rested the responsibility of the circu lation. who worked so patiently, so coura geously to step the avalanche Of complaints for eeks; Bushley, who gave way under the load broken man. Was the south side man to be late ev cry morning it rained? Was he to face the storm Of indignation indsfinabiy, and at the same time endeavOr tc held his circulation? Could ne bear LID un der it? Hopeless, Something hal to be done or the spirit Of progress would be crushed while she was yet flushed with succs ss.
