 WILL BOOST TEMPE
A Special Effort to Be Made During the Session of the Irrigation Con gross.

For the next week a special effort will be made by this department of The Republican to print as much re- garding the productiveness of the soil of this district as possible. There is a reason back of this. During the session of the Irrigation Congress at Albuquerque several hundred copies of the different Phoenix papers will be circulated there daily and items that will attract the eye of the far mer or the homeseeker may result in bringing some one to this part of the valley. Suggestions or stories of a special nature that will boost Tempe will be thankfully received.

A SPECIAL ELECTION
 WILL COME UP TODAY
To Determine Whether or Not Franchise Shall Be Granted to the South Side Gas Go.

A special election of the qualified voters of Tempe will be held today for the purpose of determining the question whether or not ordinance No S1, entitled An ordinance grant ing to the South Side Gas Company. a corporation, it's successors and as- signs, the right to construct, operate and maintain gas works and a gas distribution system within the cor porate limits of Tempe" shall be passed by the common council of Tempe and the public utility therein provided for be thereby granted. The question will be submitted on ballots to be cast at this election in sub stantially the following form:
 Shall Ordinance No. S1, entitled, An ordinance granting to the South Side Gas Company, a corporation, it's successors and assigns, the right to construct, operate and maintain. gas works and a gas distribution system within the corporate limits of Tempe" be passed by the common council of Tempe. and the franchise for the public utility, therein pro- vided for, be thereby granted?
 The election will be held between the hours of 10 and o'clock in the council chambers in the Daggs build ing, in the office formerly occupied by the justice of the peace.
 For the benefit of those who may not know just what this election is about, it may be stated that some time ago a company was organized and is known as the South Side Gas company. It is composed of Tempe and Mesa business men exclusively. If the ordinance granting the fran chise is passed, it will mean that just as soon as it is possible to do the work, the town will be supplied with gas at a rate that will compare more than favorably with the price of wood as fuel at the present time.
