Man meets his fellows here with a "Good morning, James; how are you?" while the answer is waited back on the morning breeze: Quite we'll, I thank you!" The good women, as they toll during the greater part of the day in looking after the domestic duties, hum a merry tune the while, because Hove lightens labor" And over their teacups at an afternoon func- ton, or around some family circle, banded together as a club, they discuss topics alone intended to elevate their race.

Mi Jimmie's visit here is for the purpose of looking over the ground and possibly arranging to have at least a part of his men take all the work of that nature in the val ley.
 In this connection it might be well to speak of the progress made by Col onel Price in securing contracts for the planting of beets the coming sea son. He has been more successful than he himself even hoped to be- and the total acreage now contracted for by ranchers under the Tempe canal amounts to a little over 1,200 acres. On the Hansen ranch alone over 500 acres will be planted, and at the pres ent time there are thirty teams work ing there in preparation of the land for planting. From the Kyrene switch the product of 600 acres will be ship ped to the factory, there being another hundred acres on the place next ad- joining HanSen's.

TEMPE
TAXES EQUALIZED.
The Council Met For That Purpose
 Friday Evening.

The city council met at the council chambers Friday as a board of equali- zation. A number of interested parties were present who felt that their taxes had been a little too high, and these matters and a number of others were satisfactorily adjusted.
 A short time ago the council ad- vertised for bids for the hauling of a thousand yards of gravel to be spread on different streets about town. Two bids were received and opened Thurs day evening. The contract was award ed to a Mexican by the name of Del gado and the price to be paid him is 70 34 cents per yard for the gravel said gravel to be delivered at any point in town, and all of it to be so delivered within six weeks. The work will be commenced tomorrow and pushed as rapidly as possible in the hope that the work will be finished up before any rain.
 The ordinance recently passed by the council prohibiting the burning of brush fires within certain limits of the town has met with some opposition on the part of the different black smiths. It is their custom to build fires in the rear of their shops for the heat ing of wagon tires. This they claim endangers no property and the fires are always carefully guarded and ex- tinguished as soon as their purpose has been served. Moreover the build ing of such fires quite frequently is necessary to their business, and they feel that an injury is being done them by the council prohibiting such fires. l., he nf YNla were represented at the meeting Fri day by Thos. Curnow, who presented his side of the question. No action was taken in the matter, but it will be considered at the next meeting of the council.
