A RIVER CROSSING

G. R. Finch managed to cross Salt River yesterday just above the Mari copa dam on the long rifle at that place. He states that the crossing is not a bad one, but rather risky unless one is perfectly familiar with it; then it is safe enough for ordinary usage. The beauty of it lies in the fact that it is several miles closer to Phoenix by that road than by the Center street crossing. The river at Center street has has been fordable off and on for months when it has not been so here, but it is so far out of the way and makes such a long drive, that most people prefer to go by train, rather than to drive and be obliged to cross there

IF these dividends were figured only

in all cases be somewhat higher. The
actual rate in Maine, for instance. was

which she has not schooled herself. AS
