A GREAT MELON PATCH.
Tom Goodwin Has Solved the Problem
 Of Killing Johnson Grass.

A patch of water melons, three acres in extent from which HOO melOus were picked in two days. is what Tom Goodwin boasts. That in it's self may not be an unusual thing in this coun- try but the fact that the patch less than year ago was six feet high in Johnson grass speaks well for the in- dustry of the man who grew the mel
 ons. MT. Goodwin says he has solved the problem of combating this grass. It is simply, work. work and some more work. He began by thoroughly blowing the patch. then after the mel ons were planted he got busy with hoe and has kept busy ever since with the result that the grass has been pret- ty well killed out and he got a splendid crop of melons. The hailstorm of Sun day night did some damage and con- sderably lessened the total output of the patch, but at the same time the yield has been a very satisfactory one.

a few days before To his surprise there was no stable there. He started on a tour of investigation and found lit in a neighbOr's yard. In the light of other events of the evening, the neighbor was exonerated from all blame.
 It is said that Daye Teeter. who was at the slaughter house when the storm came up. spent the next hour trying to get line on hat he possessed be- fore the breeze struck him. He never found trace of it. A report was cur rent here yesterday that the Holein- the Rock was ruined as an attraction for tourists, the hole having been blown away. The report was run down and found to be without foundation.
 The only two accidents to residents turned out much less seriously than might be supposed. Byron Redden was about the day following the storm but still carries black and blue spots as evidence of the terrific force of the hail. Wiley Hanson, who suffered dislocated arm by being on top of a wagon that was blown over is getting along nicely.

WANTS WAFER MAIN
 RUN 10 NEW DEPOT
Work Has Actually Been Started To- ward Moving the New Depot.

A gang is now engaged in filling in with gravel. the site of the new union depot. While the bridge and building lparty has not yet arrived, it Is antici- pated that this outfit will be here to- day. it has been delayed a little by other work as it was expected that the work would be well under way by this time.
 It is understood that the railroad company is instituting negotiations with the city for a water main to the depot but it is also understood that the council does not look with special. favor upon the project. In fact three members of the council have expressed themselves as emphatically opposed to any such move. Considerable money has already been spent by the city in constructing wa.er mains to the rail- roads and 1t Las not proved a paying proposition. The roads have not used enough water to make it an object. Since the abandonment of the P x F. depot some time ago. the city has had fifty dollar water meter lying idle near the old depot and unless the rail- road will agree to use q certain quan- tity of water monthly. it is not likely that the city will entertain the thought of constructing another line.

TWO YEAR CONTRACT
 WITH ELECTRIC co.
Arrangement Entered Into By City
 Council on Tuesday Night.

Phe city council met in regular ses- sien on Tuesday evening last in the town hall. with full attendance of the members. Many important mat ters relating to affairs of the Gem City were taken up and disposed of. Among the most prominent of these was the allowing of a two ySsarS con- tract with the Mesa Light & Power company, and the consideration of the bond issue.
 H. L. Chandler of the Mesa Light and Power company, was informed that the plan under consideration at the previous meeting of the council for letting a five year contract to the company for the lighting of the town, was to be reconsidered, as a petition calling for a two year contract, had been circulated among the citizens and business. men here, and it was ascer tained that by far the larger per cent of these favored the allowing of the two year contract only. which was &C., cepted by Mir Chandler. Under the contract for this term of years, it is agreed that the same equipment be maitained as it now is, with the eX- ceptiOn of the arc light at the juncturs of Main and Center streets, which is to be replaced with new arc light. The matter is now settled satisfactory to a majority of the citizens here, as a two year contract with the company is considered more practicable than one for the term of five years would have been.
 In the matter of the bonds to be is- sued for the purpose of installing city water works, a resolution for the dis pOsal of these was read, which pro- vides for the bonds to be issued in certificates of the denomination of 5000 each; these to bear six per cent interest. The bids for these will be received through the town clerk. A. A. Jones. up to : o'clock D. m, on Au- gust 4th. 1908 and will be opened on September 22nd. The bonds are to run for twenty years beginning Au- gust 1st. 1908, with the privilege of paying S10,000 per annum on the principle from and after the first ten years after the date thereof; the in terest payable semi annually. The council reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
 The account of Judge l.. V. Guthrie was submitted for fines collected and arrests made during the past winter. This. however. was not accepted owing to a misunderstanding as to some technical points regarding the author ity vested in the city in accepting these reports. A motion was made by Councilman 'Cerney that the city attorney, George w. Silverthorn be authorized to consult with the district attorney in this matter and that an itemized state ment from the justice be handed in at the next meeting of the council.
 In the matter of accepting the ce- ment work recently done on the main streets of the city. the mayor appoint
Arizona republican., 1908-07-16

ed a street committee to see if the work had been satisfactorily done, and if in their opinion such was the case, the balance of the account due the contractors should be paid. The ap- pointment of the committee was due to the fact that there has been some objection on the part of property holders as to the manner in which the work had been done. The commit tee was directed to report at the next meeting.
 The pump committee, represented by F. w. Cerney reported that repairs needed on the city pump had been made, and that it was now in good working order.
 NJ. r. HOlladay made a complaint in the matter of paving two licenses for carrying on a drug business, one of. these reading Drugs" and the other Merchandise" MT. Holladay con tended that he should not be required to pay two licenses, when others en- gagged in the same enterprises, were only paying one. During the discus sion on the subject. the question was raised as to why a druggist should be required 10 pay fnsfcnantS llcenset any more than a merchant carrying patent medicines and other drugs, should not be compelled to pay a druggists license. The matter was finally laid on the table until the next meeting night.
 James Daley, proprietor of the Spider Web Pool Hall was present at the meeting, submitted the question as to why boys of the age of eighteen years and over could not be permitted to play pool in Mesa, when they were allowed to do so in other towns sur rounding here. He was asked to pre- pare a petition and submit it to the residents, and should he receive ma jority of signatures favoring this. to bring the same to the city council, for action.
 Tuesday evening was the first time in several years that Mesa was with out a police force, as all of those act ing in that capacity were discharged, and new ones appointed by the mayor yesterday.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed
 Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been praised for surrendering the secrets of their discoveries. Practically the same thing happened, in the medical world in the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis. the eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
 Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac- tiee. discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was prac- tically a sure specific for eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum and other itching skin diseases. But the oil of wintergreen alone was found ineffective.. It required other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the wintergreen, to produce the real ec- zema cure.
 This compounded D. D. D. Pre- scription positively takes away the itch at once-the instant it is ap- piled to the skin. This vegetable liquid does away with deleterious drugs so long used in an attempt to doctor the blood. whereas modern science has determined that eczema is first and all the time a. skin dis ease.

NEW RURAL ROUIE
 MESA POST OFFICE
Matter Under Consideration By Char her of Commerce.

The regular meeting of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce was held in its rooms on Tuesday evening last. AL though several of the members were absent. several important measures were acted upon. Among these being the adding of another rural mail route to the Mesa City post office. There are several families liv ing in the district between Mesa and Tempe who are not at present being served by the rural carriers of either place, and it is understood that there are great many whose mail is now carried from Tempe. who would rather have it distributed from the Mesa of flee
 A committee was appointed to act in conjunction with Postmaster New ell to work to this end, and together draw up a petition, this to be signed by the residents of this district as we'll as several others who could be brought under the proposed route the same to be sent to the postmaster general at Washington. D. c.
 In the matter of making a military organization of the Mesa band. it was learned that this would be practically impossible until the regiment has mustered twelve companies.
 The secretary was notified to send five hundred copies of the pamphlets containing data regarding Mesa, to the Hollenbeck hotel which is located in Los Angeles. California. This hOstelry more than any other perhaps in that city is a rendezvous for Arizonians and those interested in this territory.

MORE STORM NOTES
 ONE KIND AND ANOTHER
The Storm of Sunday Will Soon Be a Matter of History.

Tempe and vincinity is fast again assuming a normal aspect after the worst storm in it's history. Roads are fast being cleaned up, yards have been raked clean of trash, ranches and leaves and the work of repairing houses, barns and fences is going on. At the creamery one smokestack was up and readjusted Tuesday evening and by a lot of hard night work, the ice machinery was started again be- fore morning. The usual morning whistle yesterday was a prolonged one in honor of the occasion. Encouraging as this may seem, however there yet remains great deal to be done before the. plant will be in full operation. It will be the last of the week more than likely before all the milk can be han dled and the condenser started again. It has cost the creamery company a good sum in repairs and still more in loss of milk which had to be turned away. Fortunately for the dairymen, the Mesa creamery was able to take most of the surplus and the farmers did not lose a great deal by the acci- dent
 In town things are getting pretty well shaped up again. Most of the electric light work was finished yes- terday and the town. is fell lighted again.

A Letter From the Cole Family Tells
 Story of the Accident.

Dr. Dimes was yesterday in receipt
 of letter from the Pink Cole family conveying the information that the little girl, who was so seriously injured a week ago. was recovering as well as could be expected and 1t is not antici- pated that there will be any serious consequences. According to the letter, the accident happened in this wise;
 The family were just leaving PaysOn and the little girl was on the high front seat. The breaking of a spring precip- ftated her to the ground under the front wheel and before the team could be stopped the front and rear wheel of the heavily loaded wagon passed over her body.

A STORY FOR SOUTH sIDERs
Installment No. 2.


 The Republicans exposure of the evening papers effort to make an Associated Press tel egraph service of 800 words six days in the week, take the place of 1900 words. produced the expected howl in which a column of space was used in trying to prove that with the 800 words and a few col umns of articles of incorpora- tion, that sheet was still a newspaper. In the manifesto however, not a word was said of the disappearance of this most prominent part of it's former news service. Silence is an acknowledgement of the truth of the charge always, in a case of this kind. Truth can not be hid by resorting to measurements and comparisons of other things that are equally as faulty. Anybody can see that one line of The Republi- cans type occupies only about half as much space as a line of type in the Gazette and if ~T The Republicans $500 words of telegraph which comes every day in the year were set in Gazette type with Gazette head lines it would fill more space than that paper has ever given to news of all classes, includ- ing articles of incorporation, its most attractive feature. No body will be fooled by such tactics.
 It is perfectly proper that the Gazette should devote a portion of its space to Tempe and Mesa, as The Republican has been doing for over ten years past, and it is perfectly proper that Tempe and Mesa should show their appreciation by their patronage. but it is very improper for any newspaper to secure business on the strength of giving q news service and then proceed to cut off the ser vice as soon as the business IS secured.
