 The people are with the city council in the matter of building concrete culvert over Final creek on North Broad street It is an improve ment that should have been made long ago.
 With 10000 additional acres under ditch in the Pima and Fort Thomas sections, the lower end of Graham county will stride to the fore right rapidly during the next few years and Pima will blossom into very thrifty little city.
 After division one year hence Graham will be solidy democratic and Greenleaf, the new coun- ty, will be solidly republican. Almost any way you figure it the republicans have gained coun- ty. And the bill was passed by democratic legislature.

THE GREATER BURDEN
 RESTS ON PHOENIX
How the s5o,ooo Bridge Tax on Ae- count of Center Street Site Will Be Distributed.

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 Any proposition that legitimately creates new wealth, adds materially to the taxable property of a community without involving any additional debt. or public obligations, is certainly a proposition that will appeal to the good business judgment of all tax paying citizens.
 Without intending to be tiresome or trespass upon the public patience. we desire to discuss the relations of the construction of the Center street bridge in connection with the condi- tions above set forth.
 The erection of this bridge, all real iZe, imposes a county obligation. as its construction will cost the tax paying public $50.OOO; the additional s50,000 is to be borne by the property owners whose interests will be more immedi ately affected by it's construction than any other.
 So at the outset. when this bridge is completed. a debt of s5O.0OO will be created, which the tax payers of Mar icopa county will be obliged to dis charge. The assessment roll of Mar icopa county for the year 1908. was s14,296,917. The city of Phoenix. and the property interests that will be inn mediately affected and benefited by this Center street bridge. is about s10.- 0,000, or nearly twothirds of the en- tire assessment roll, so of the s50.e00 that will be expended in the building of this bridge, Phoenix and her imn.e- diate neighbOrs will pay 1000. leav- ing balance of s13,00O to be met by citizens who are not immediately affected by the construction of the bridge. and to this class of tax payers who might. without due consideration of the subject, vote against the Center street bridge, we wish to more fully discuss this question.
 No community is justified in voting to impose extra burdens upon itself without the hope of being benefited from the transaction. Now while the construction of the bridge under dis cussiOn will entail a small additional tax upon all our citizens, yet the facts in the case are that, in the end, the transaction will rebound to the ben eft of the entire county, not only financially. but in many other ways as we'll
 There are thirty-seven thousand acres of land immediately south of the Center street bridge site, much of which is productive and non assessable, but all of the finest quality of fruit and farming lands. This large acreage. with the building of this bridge, will immediately become valu- able and productive, thus in itself ere ating sufficient additional revenue to more than offset the tax levied for bridge purposes. besides the many benefits and cOnveniences that will be offered by a bridge across the Salt river during periods of high water Thus 1t will be recognized by the men who are not materially interested in

seat that way, so he put his feet back in the river. Then the current washed the horses off from the regular ford and swept them into a quicksand. The horses floundered in the quicksands, but always succeeded in holding their heads above the water. while MT. Hirst sat on the upstream side of the wagon and tried to keep it from turning over Finally the horses got their footing again and reached the opposite side in safety.
 In speaking of the affair, MT. Hirst sai: q presume if had been drowned. as I thought 1 was going to be. it would hay lent an added impetus to the bridge project. They might even have started in to build a bridge at once. I would not mind so much, pos ing as the Joan of Arc of this bridge question. if they would start the bridge at Center street.

HIRST JUST DODGES
 BRIDGE MARTYRDOM
He Has a Close Call While Fordine the Risc- at Tempe.

While foriins the river at Tempe yesterday morning, C. T. Hirst came very near being a martyr to the bridge cause
 Water had been let down from Roosevelt since the day before, and the sluice gates at Tempe were opened, so that the Salt river was not the amiable trout stream that it sometimes looks like. When MT. Hirst looked at the ford his only regret was that he had not brought his bathing suit. but he did not hesitate, because he knew the ford perfectly and has been wet before. like everybody else whose interests lie on both sides of the bridgeless stream.
 The water soon came up to the hubs, and the horses flOundered. but MT Hirst drove on. There was a man in Mesa he wanted to see about a dog Somewhere near the middle of the riv- CT the water came over the box, and Mir. Hirst said it felt cool and soothing as it gradually climbed up his legs. Then there was nothing in sight above the water but the horses heads, the dash board and the wagon seat. After a while he tried putting his feet on the dash board, as the water was getting cold, but he found he couldn't keep his

RESTORED TO DUTY BY TAFT
Marines Ordered Back on Warships
in Accordance With Desire
of CONGRESS.

Washington, March 26.-The last re-
manning vestige of the Roosevelt order
taking marines off the battleships and
cruisers of the United States navy was
swept away today when President Taft
directed that an order be issued restor-
ing the marines to exactly the same du-
ties they had performed before they
were ordered ashore.
After congress had placed a provision
in the navy appropriation bill that a
certain percentage of the marine corps
should be assigned to ship duty. an or

Roosevelt went out of Office restoring
the marines TO ships, but placing them
under the orders of the captains of the

Under the old system the marines
were given specific duties. One of these
was to fight certain guns of the Sec
Ondary battery. The order placing them
under the direction of the ships cap

rines to any sort of duty and to deprive
them of fighting any part of the ships
battery. In restoring the old regula-
tons. the president acted upon the rec

Without making any public an

He has personally attended to the af

though the archdeacon and Aoki have
not been seen together.

Few Friends at Funeral.

The funeral ceremonies were conduct
ed at 1890. A few of Mrs. LorilIard's
most intimate friends, principally those
who gathered with her the night of her
death at the dinner given by Mrs. Rich
ard Townsend. were present Among
those were the Belgian minister and
Baroness Moncheur, Mrs. Chauncey
Depew. Mrs. Meyer, wife of the secre-
tary of the navy, and the Hon. Maude
Pauncefote. daughter of the former
British ambassador.
After the funeral the most dramatic
event Of the day occurred. when DIT. J.
Ramsey hewitt, the coroner, laid away
in the folds of the shrOud two notes and
the mysterious trinkets found on Mrs
Loriilard's body after her death. Mrs
Loriilard wrote neither of the notes
after she returned from the Townsend
dinner Tt is now believed that the
only words she wrote on the morning
of her death was on an envelope that
contained the notes and the trtnkets.
They were:
Bury this with my body. unopened"
One Note Addressed to Her.
one of the notes was addressed to
Mrs. LOrillaTd, and was in the hand
writing of another person. The second
note had been written by Mrs. Loril-
iard,N evidently many days before her
death. 1t was evidently Mrs. Lorillard's
hope that neither the notes nor the
trinkets would be revealed to human
eye after hers had turned from them.
A study of Mrs. LoTillard's apart
ments is said to have led to the con-
clusion that she deliberately inhaled
the poisonous fumes until gentle stu
por seized her Then she calmly Law
down upon the rug in the bathroom to
sleep into death.
1t is said that Mr.. Lorillard has be-
come Teconciled to the verdict of sui
eide rendered by Coroner hewitt. He
told some of the callers of the extreme
dependency to which his wife was
subject at times
kilograms Of coincidence were re-
ceived by Mr.. Lorillard today from all
over the world. and society women in
large numbers left their cards.
