Mrs. ]. \. Terrill and children left
on the train Wednesday for Colorado
Springs, Colorado, where Mrs. Terrill
goes TO attend the marriage OF her two
sisters, Misses Florence and Gertrude
York, remembered in Graham county
as little girls. Mrs. Terrill will visit
in Colorado Springs, which was her
home for several years, for some time,
and may conclude to again reside
there. She carries with her the best
wishes of all the people of Solomon
vile.
One OF the handsomest business
houses in the ella valley is now near
ing. completion in Thatcher. 1t is
owned by Claridge & Hunt, and is on
the main street, on the corner Of the
block west of the mill block. This
building is of brick, two stories high,
with full basement below, and an ele.
vator has been built which will connect
the three floors. The front of this
building is entirely Of plate glass, from
the street to the second story, and the
front alone cost over thousand dol
lars.
The Phoenix Gazette thinks with all
the railroad building that has been
done in Arizona the great line through
this region of country remains to be
constructed, and when located it will
reach from San Diego to Yuma and
from Yuma up the ella valley to Salt
river valley to its head; then over into
New Mexico TO join with some one Of
the lines reaching into the northern
Panhandle, making "a direct line
through almost a continuous produc-
tive region of country, the only over
land road that will enjoy that money
making privilege. 1t will make the
shortest line On the continent from
Chicago to the Pacific coast.

they are mistaken. as it is not likely
that any court will interfere with the
