TWO RIVER CROSSINGS
 CENTER ST. AND TEMPE
A Comparison of the Volume of Traf- flee Over Each.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-A close observation or the two important river crossings, the Center street and the Tempe, for any period of time will convince any unbiased man that fully three times more persons and teams utilize the cross ing at Center street than the one at Tempe. In other words this Center street crossing is serviceable to fully three times the number of people on the south side of the Salt river than is the ford at Tempe Now in all fairness, if this be true. it nat urally follows that the Center street crossing is the logical site for the first bridge across the Salt river
 If this condition prevails at the present time, we ask what will the proportion be when this large acreage that is now coming into settlement has been fully settled up and de- yeloped?
 The truth is, the more one inves- tigates this bridge question, the greater the advantages of the Center street bridge appear. If three times the number of people come by that route at the present time, this pro- portion will show an astounding in crease upon the completion of d bridge at that point when the many thousands of dormant acres are brought into bearing.
 These questions appeal to the bus mess judgment of our taxpayers. and all the subterfuges to which the Tempe committee can resort, cannot change existing conditions or facts.

The construction of a bridge at the foot of Center street will not in any manner interfere with the progress of Tempe. It will, however, aid in the development of large acreage of land that is now profitless and bring hundreds of families and home builders to this section. thus creating new wealth, building up new homes and creating new markets for our Maricopa merchants; it will. in truth, be of incalculable benefit to all DOT tions of Maricopa county, and det- rimental to none.
 We do not deny that the mer- chants of Phoenix will be the great est beneficiaries; this comes as the logical law of trade. as Phoenix is the largest city in the county, and her merchants not only carry larger assortments of goods, but can afford to sell cheaper than can merchants at Tempe.
 Phoenix citizens can be relief upon to deal honestly and fairly with the people of Tempe, as well as those of all other sections of our county, but the logic of events makes Phoe- nix the trade center of Maricopa county, and to this end her citizens are all directing their energies.

Ghosts and WOLVES
BY Stanley Waterloo.

1t is held by the Eibo Folk-Swedes
who inhabit the shores and islands of
the Gulf of Riga-that occasionally the
or have some account to settle with
the living, wander abroad at night as
ghosts of a more or less malignant
character according to their natural
disposition when alive.
Nevertheless there is one recourse
for the Eibo native who encounters
one of these wraiths upon the highway
or anywhere else at night. He has but
to say, If he still retain courage
enough to speak, GO thou to the
wolves!" and the ghost must then
fling himself away into wild race
across the country. He has no alterna-
tive. 1t is some law of the underworld.
Then the wolves-and there are many
In that wild region-not only see, but
scent, the fleeing thing (for when
wolves appear, it becomes real flesh
and blood and pursue and tear down
and kill and devour it, and that is the
end Of that particular ghost.

OF all the erroneous and harmful ideas
that young men and young women have,
the worst is the pernicious belief that col
lege is simply the stage which precedes the
real beginning Of life, and that the real
life and the real tasks are still to come.
University life is not an introduction to
life, but a part of it, and a most important
part of it. More and more, as the years
go by, in the business as in the professional
world, the stress is being laid upon the
trained mind, able to grapple with the
complicated problems of industrial and ur-
ban life. Those whose minds are not
