The recent statement regarding the

 very weak candidates. Some Of them are truly representative citi- zens, capable to fill the offices for which nominated. but in every such instance the republican can didate is fully as good, if not a "little bit better" Others repre- sent nothing but failing and fal- ling regime, are not competent to the places to which they aspire, and will be showed under by the voters who cannot fail to prefer their more capable and representa- tive republican opponents.
 In their supervisoral ticket the democracy presented in MT. Finer son Gee of Washington Camp, and Richard Farrel, of Harshaw, two competent, capable business men in whose hands the interests of the country would be perfectly safe. Neither of the two can be used for ulterior purposes nor worked by concealed strings in the hands of others. MT. Farrel is an old resi- dent of Harshaw, has extensive mining interests there and con- ducts a store at Patagonia. MT. Gee is of the firm of Gee & Wilhey, owners of the Pride of the West mine and reduction works at Wash ington Camp, and has so great an interest in our young county that he would be seriously affected by public mismanagement. Should he be elected the taxpayers can count on his standing rigidly for purely business like administration -econ omical, fair and just. The same can be said of MT. Farrel. But all the same Messrs Hogan, Atkinson and Richardson are just as good, just as fair, will conduct public affairs just as fairly, quite as econ omically, with equal justice and will beat them at the polls.

ticket to beat.

The precipltous banks of the arroyo where SOnoita avenue crosses Inter national street and enters Calle de Trece de Julio, make practically no thoroughfare, and all yechices have to go up to Arizpe street to cross or take hazardous route down through the arroyo. The authorities of Mo- gales, Sonora, express themselves as ready and willing to unite with the authorities of Nogales, Arizona, in erection of tlne stone, arched bridge, similar to the one on Crawford'street. over the arroyo at the point mentioned As such bridge would be thrown over the International line the work of construction would be necessarily a joint affair. As our sister city is so ready and wiling to join in the good work our own town board should take steps at once to confer with them, adopt plans and enter into the neces- sary contracts. A suitable bridge would require two or three arches and would be very handsome arch itectual addition to the line cities.
 There is another point where the two municipalities could jointly con struct 2 handsome bridge which would also meet great public neces- sity, and that is across the arroyo up on the international line, where the arroyo turns, near the depot grounds. The authorities of Nogales, Sonora, are also willing to unite with the municipality of the American town in building bridge at that point as well.
