 MUDDY STREETS-Tne great i'm
 prOvement to the streets of the city
 is particularly noticeable right at this
 time on account of the floods from the
 rain of the past tweuty-fOUr hours
 On the avenues in the northwest par
 of town where most of the grading
 was dCne the water has run off and
 there are very few mudhOles to DC
 found. Where the gravel has been put
 on the streets are also in fine shape.
 Some of the alleys gave the street de
 partment some trouble Saturday night, the one at the Hoffman became a yer itable lake and part of the water found
 it's way into the cellar of the building
 A few men with shovels after a little
 work repaired the trouble and drained
 the alley.

 A SATISFIED TOURIST-Some of the visitors, especially those who are sick go away from Phoenix after haT- ing spent the winter here feeling that they have not had as much attention as they deserved. But here is a tour ist who feels different about it, and writes the following to The Republi- can: Having arrived in Phoenix d few months ago a perfect stranger, I l wish to relate to my fellow tourists III behalf of the people of Phoenix, the unlimited southern hospitality shown l the strangers who come here. The a-- cusation often made that the peop.e | of Phoenix are cool and indifferent is | false. We tourists must | not expect the residents to do all; we | must exert ourselves a little. I nave | among strangers a great deal, ] but l can truly say I have never met a more hospitable people in my life ] in any cosmopolitan town, nor have l | ever felt as much at home as during | this winter Now as the time is near ing to leave I shall carry away with me the remembrance of many dear friends in this land of sunshine"
