Arizona republican., 1903-08-19

up of the Salt river valley to appear in a coming number of Sunset.
 HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.-Noa long ago The Republican printed the hard luck of a young man who lives here and whose lady love lives on Cave creek. He drove to Cave creek, hitched his horse to post, the horse broke loose and came back to Phoenix and the young man had to return to town on the stage. It is now in order to record that the same young man drove the same horse to the same place again and hitched it to the same post while he went to call on the same young lady. This same horse broke loose again and came to town. while the same young man had to come back in the same old way in the same old Cave Creek stage.
 THE OFFICIAL COUNT The board of supervisors yesterday can Vassed the vote at the local option election by which it was shown that there had been cast for prohibition within the proposed district 322 votes and 153 votes against it. The count was entirely formal consisting of q footing of the returns as they had been sent in. The publication will re-
 
 that time prohibition will be in force unless there should be a contest. It is thought that there will be none but that as soon as the district has been fully established there will be test case for the determining of the strength of the law under which the district will be created.
 DUTIES OF PARENTS.-A Phoenix subscriber to The Republican has some l ideas of the duties of parents which | he or she would like to see enforced. In a letter to this paper attention is calleed to the shortcomings of some woman on East Van Buren street.
 which is a pretty long thoroughfare | and which has a great many female inhabitants. Complaint though is made of this one that she spends her | evenings at the park in attending the l theater and dancing, leaving her num- erCus and small offspring at home alone. This letter was called out by i the circumstances that the night before the chiudren were in the street until half past nine crying and calling Mamma in vain.
 | LOST HIS TRUNK.-W. C. Foster. who returned Sunday from d visit in ! the east. saved his life by carrying d rabbits foot with him. He stopped at Peoria, Iil.. to visit his mother. only l to learn that she had gone to Iowa to | visit a daughter. The rabbits foot gave him a hunch to go on to Iowa and he acted accordingly, but to save trouble he checked his trunk clear through to Phoenix and arranged to lay over for one day in the Hawkeye state. The train that carried the trunk went t.l.
 the baggage car floating down stream where it was buried in the sand. and so far as he knows it is there yet. IL contained about everything in the way of wardrobe that MT. Foster possessed except what he had on and the con tents of his suit case that he carried
 with him. Anyone who contemplates getting up swell functions in his honor
 will please announce that the officia
 dress shall be light and summery. MT
 Poster also says that he was not al
 Coney Island, statement that needs
 no commenting upon.
