Ward, just off Cinlers avenue. There
was a swell View of the Gas House and
the Residents might have seen the Bot
Ting Works and the Dump if it hadn't
been for the Foundries in between.
All the People along Kidd Street
We're in Humble Circumstances. That
is why they Married so early. They
wanted to cut down Expenses.
The Name of this Family in Kidd
Street was Monaghan. Mr.. Monaghan
worked in a Blast Furnace where they
did not provide Electric Fans for the
Help. When Summer came he never
had to worry about his Automobile,
and the Problem of getting a good But
Ter for the Country House did not give
him moments Uneasiness Mr.. Mon
nyhan was one Of the Plain People. He
wiped his Mouth on the Back of his
hand, and when he saw Man in Duck
Trousers he had Murder in his Heart.
Shortly after the Whistle Blew, Mr.
Monaghan would show up in Kidd
Street, dragging one foot after the 9TH
er, the Prosperity Dinner Pail in one
horny Mitt and his Coat over his Arm.
He would collapse on the Step with a
Moan of Relief. Then he would call for
his Evening Paper and read about
Summer Styles for Well Dressed Men.
After Supper he and the other Toll
ers along the Row would come out to
the Front Stops and peel off until
they were comfortab Bile, no matter what
the Ladies' Home Journal said The
Children playing in the Street wore
Rational Costumes. Sometimes For
eigner came along and played Rag
Time on Street Piano. The German
at the Corner did great Bucket
Trade. After Mr.. Monaghan and his
Neighbors had Rolled the Rock and
Chased the Duck and Hurried the Can
for several Pints of White Studs they
would feel almost as we'll off as the
Rich.
Mrs. Monaghan had Grudge
against Kidd Street. She doped her
SELF on Weekly Story Papers and the
Society Column until she was full Of
plpey Ambitions that did not fit in
with Papa's Saturday Night Envelope.
When she read about some New York
Family going away on Yacht and
taking $4,000 worth of Ice along, she.
would feel Enyious. The Monnyhans
got most of their Ice in the Winter
Time. Sometimes she would look out
at the two lonesome Trees in Kidd
Street and wish that her Husband was
an unpopular Stock-J obber insteadSof
an honest Workingman. Mrs Monty
han loved to read about who was En-
Pertaining at Newport and what to
wear at the Races. She used to fig
ure out what kind of speckled Horses
she would drive to her Private Hack.
If she could go out in the Alley some
day and pick up Million Dollar Bill.
She spent lot Of Money in this way.
Mr. Monnyhan was a Home Body.
He asked nothing better than an Al
Fresco Evening on the Stoop, putting
his little Henry Clay and now and then
burying his Face in the Growler
But Mrs. Monaghan had the Travel
Microbe in her System. She wanted
to take a Trip into the Country. Her
Husband advised her to go over to
the Park II she wanted to see some
Grass, but she said that real Outing
meant at least 40 Miles on the Steam

OF course she meant to make him love

she had no intention OF loving him., But
somehow she did not like his quiet e1innl-

A CORRUPT JOB CONTEMPLATED.

There is the smell of nasty job in the report
from Washington that the abolition of the transport
service of the army, is under consideration.
At an enormous expense the war department has
brought together feet of transport steamers well
adapted to existing necessities of military service
admirably equipped and capable of operation at a
minimum of expense.
Now that peace footing is about to be estab-
ished it has occurred to the seekers after Federal
transportation contracts that there are millions of
dollars at the disposal of the Quartermasters Depart
ment for transport service and they propose to get
the money without regard to Treasury consequences
The first step is to abolish the Atlantic transport
service; then in due time to throw the vast Pacific
business of the government into private hands
Should this scheme succeed, the narrative Of the
purchase and sale of transport feet might be de-
pended upon to furnish one of the most disgracefu
chapters of Federal fiscal history

TUCSON is NOT BOOMING.

We have heretofore stated that Tucson is not
boom town. There is something ephemeral, or of the
parvenu about boom that dspleases the good taste
and solid, conservative qualities of this community
Yet while will not offend public taste by using
the vulgar word boom we cannot refrain from saying
that Tucson is hourishng
Yes the old pueblo hourishes Her trade is ex-
tending. Her commerce expands. Her wealth in
creases The arteries of her BUSINESS life go forth
in all directions.
Never did the merchants of Tucson come any
where near doing the business they doing now.
They are feeding hundred mining camps They are
rationing ranchers. They clothing directly in
directly, one-third of the people of the Territory.
They are eqaipping mines furnishing farms and
making money. The banks of Tucson bursting
with solid cash. Their deposits approach the million
mark. Transactions involving hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of weekly occurrence and pass
without Inconvenience or serious notice.
But nothing show the growth, progress and
expansion of Tucson like glance at the real estate
field. Here is where work and business go on with
out cessation Real estate values have increased in
Tucson nearly hundred per cent. during the past
year. We know of lots that were sold for $4,000 for
instance, less than year ago. for which 500 were
refused within the past few days There are more
big real estate transactionsreal and not paper,
and not with promise to pay, but with spot cash
in this town than in all the alleged cities of Arizona
combined.
Nothing can effectively demonstrate the pros
perty of city town activity in the real estate
market When people desire real property, land the
solid earth, in town, and are willing to pay big for
it it is sure sign of prosperity, business expansion
and wholesome enterprise.
Tucson can be measured up as the biggest little
town in the United States

The three great domestic questions confronting
Tucson at this time, the removal of the wedge,
the alaying of the dust, aud the erection of a
splendid modern hotel. All three questions are of
such Importance that the whole community should
take an interest in them The removal of the wedge
will be of vast consequence and superlatve benefit
to the people owning property fronting on it, but
every property in the city would be indirectly
benefited and consequently could afford to bear a
part of the burden of the great public improvements
The abatement of the dust nuisance we believe to be
subject to simple remedy that the mayor and council
can easily execute. The erection of splendid
modern hotel that will be credit to the town, and
that will attract people and capital to the town. we
hope and believe will be undertaken and triumph
antly executed by enterprising capitalists
