 The county supervisors have giv- CT orders to repair the bridge across the canal at the old Toothaker sta tion if the cost would not be over $20. The road this bridge is located on may not be on the countys' highway maps. but this bridge and the bridge across the south branch of the canal were built by the county and rightfully should be kept in re pair by the county. If the super visors have the right to allow the payment of S20. why not a larger sum if it would be necessary for the proper repair of the bridge? This particular bridge and the one across the south branch of the canal are as important to our people as the bridg- es across the Cross-Cut canal above Phoenix are to the people of Scotts- dale. This is the short way to get to the head of the canal the sluice gates and the division gates at the junction of the two branches of the canal this is one of the small mat -ters that need attending to, for the benefit of d large community if the road is not now a county road the proper officials should see to it that it is made of record.

Wayne of Buckeye 1 For a number of years he has been | engaged in the dairy business, re- | gently having a ranch rented west of : Phoenix. MT. Wayne thinks it will l pay better to own a ranch than to | rent with the prospects for advance ment so good as they are in the 1 Buckeye country.
 A committee of the officials of the White Tank Canal Co, was in Phoe- | nix last week for the purpose of ar ranging for a trustee to handle the stock of the Buckeye Irrigation Co.,, which the White Tank O., is get ting in payment for it's canal and other property by sale to the Buckeye Irrigation Go.

 The Wedgworth boys of Buckeye seem to me the champion hunters of Naricopa county. the amounts which they have already received and what is due them on scalps now in their possession will amount to a round S1O00 since last September. and in consequence the coyote and wild cat are becoming an extinct animal in these parts.
 The democrats held their primary elections in this precinct last Tues day for the selection Of delegates to a county convention. This little dem ocratic affair was of course a very tame proceeding, but on account of it one republican showed that he was republican of sterling quality, always ready to sacrifice his time in the service of the party, and rather on the lookout for duty to perform than being slow to perform a duty pointed out. All forenoon of Tues day he was telephoning- to repub- licans to know if we don't get in on that primary" probably having in mind the primaries that send dele gates to the conventions to select the county candidates; everything said or attempted to be done was commendatory, and any oversight should be excused for two reasons; first, this jealous republican, has been busy most of the time, day and night. for nearly a month watch ing over and caring for the first heir and daughter that has ever at tracted his attention from political duties. and then he has suffered a sorrow and is grieved at the condition of the republican party on account of the foolish factional sui
