Heard. back ward in any public spirited move ment for the upbuilding of this com munity, and it would seem but natural that the taxpayers of the valley should encourage this company in dividing up into hundreds of homes the lands un- der the San Francisco canal If they make some money in this home mak- ing movement, we fail to see how any fair minded man can have any objec- tion. These attacks on the Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle company are cer- tainly not warranted and are evidently an attempt on the part of the Tempe committee to cloud the real issues.
 An instance of the liberal policy of company has been brought to our at tentiOn by a gentleman from Tempe, who regrets the unwarranted attacks on this company. This gentleman in forms us that when the Tempe Union High School district was formed about year ago, nearly the entire Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle com pany ranch, consisting of the largest taX-paying property in the valley, School district. It was anticipated in some quarters that, owing to the very large increase in their taxes by this

the Articles of the Water Users Asso- citation. the following distinct state ment is made regarding cultivated land and the issuance of water rights there for Article 3, Section 13:
 If at the time of the determination by the Government of the number of acres capable of such irrigation, there shall have been subscribed for a num- Der of the shares equal to the number of acres so estimated to be capable of irrigation, then no subscription for more shares shall be taken. If the number so subscribed for. however shall then exceed the estimated num- Der of acres so capable of irrigation then there shall be allotted to said subscribers that number of shares equal to the estimated number of acres capable of irrigation. In such allot- ment, cultivated lands shall have the preference; and any excess in the number of shares subscribed for over the number so allotted shall be can celled, and thereafter shall not be is sued"
 We, therefore, are at a loss to un- derstand how any good cause is served by this attack of the Tempe bridge committee on those men who own and cultivate their lands and again hope to make them productive through co-Op-

action. the Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle Co. might object. but it is well known fact that no objection on their part was made. and that Mir Heard encouraged the employees of the Bartlett-Hea company to sup port the issue of s5O,0OO high school bonds issued by the district, al- though this meant a contribution by the Bartlett Heard lands of over S6.000, or nearly h of the cost of the new Tempe High school building. It is also an absolute fact that the ad- ditional taxes paid by the Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle company in 1908 toward the annual maintenance of the Tempe High School were ap- proximately $500, or over s7 per pupil for each of the 70 scholars now at tending that institution.
 In view of this fact 1t is hard for us to believe that the continued at Jacks of the Tempe publicity com- mittee represent the real feelings of the Tempe community toward the Bartlett-He company, and in the absence of arguments for the Tempe bridge they have descended to the low level of personalities.
 The people of this county are, how ever, more interested in facts than such personal rantings, and we offer the following reasons why the Center street bridge should be built:

9-Definite figures as to cost based on thor ough personal investigations by competent engineers and practical bridge cOnstruc tors.
 proportion of cost of this type of ebfidge distributed locally for labor and material, while on steel bridge most of labor and material comes from outside. 11-This bridge can be completed in eight months from date of contract. 12-Site and bridge plans approved by many eminent engineers This wide crossing is . safer for bridge under flood conditions than narrow one. Deep underlying bed of bouders gravel and caliche provide eX cellent foundation conditions both to sup port bridge piers and to prevent securing. Plans embOdy most mOdem proven ideas of successful, steel, reinforced concrete bridge construction.
 returns to come from liberal yearly rental to be paid into the treasury of Maricopa county, by electric car line using this bridge.

Tt is the natural geographic center and ad- joins the capital of the territory and center of population of the Salt River Valley. 2-This location serves the best interests of the greatest number of people living in Maricopa County today. 3-Opens up most undeveloped land, thus hastening the coming of thousands of home builders.
 Twill be of concrete steel, the strongest and most permanent form of bridge construc- tion known; increases in strength with age. 5-Brings great increase in all lines of bus- ness to Phoenix. GA wide, convenient, absolutely substantial bridge designed to carry an electric car line with standard tracks, to handle freight cars at night, great factor in the rapid development of this valley. Most permanent type with least cost of maintenance. cost to the taxpayers least owing to large bonus.

Ferguson secured the advantage by

rounds Ferguson kept up a series of

In the third Ferguson slowed down

The Philippine Women's club, the

struggling to. supplement its work Of
supplying steriized milk TO sickly, i'll
fed infants by establishing small
maternity hospital and training class
for maternity nurses. This club was
due 10 a suggestion from Miss Con
cepcion Felix, who was at the time n
student of law and who In the course
of her studies became interested in the
woman movement in the western
countries THIS was In the summer OF
1905 and Miss Felix's suggestion was
so enthusiastically received that a
club with a membership of several
hundred native women was quickly
formed.
Having determined TO establish a
center for the distribution of pure
milk, the club gave garden party in
the palace grounds for the purpose Of
raising the necessary funds. More
than $500 was cleared at this enter
tainment and the sterilizing apparatus
was imported from Paris A building
was contributed by DR. Doherty and
the work begun under the personal
