it does, the consensus of opinion of the Mesa people.
 We quote the following extract from MT. Wings letter:
 AS to the Center street bridge my understanding is that the Tempe people object on the grounds that MT. D. E. Heard and others wish to divide their land holdings up into small tracts and sell the same, and that MT. Heard and others might make a few dollars out of the sale.
 Now my opinion is that MT Heard, or any other person owning large tract of land in the Salt Riv- CT valley, should be encouraged to cut their land up into small tracts and sell to homeseekers. In this way the population of Maricopa county could be doubled in a short time. This would double the business done by our merchants, and in turn all would receive better railroad rates and the farmers would be able to ship their produce to eastern markets.
 "I believe there are some 22,000 acres of land on the south side of the Salt river west of Tempe that could be colonized. This is enough to support one thousand home build CTS. Should the bridge cost s15O,OO0 it would be a good investment If Maricopa county can secure good home builders at $15.0O per head; by all means let them come. The ex- tra taxes received from land settled upon can soon pay back the cost of the bridge.
 Tempe has another kick coming because the road running from Mesa City to the Center street bridge must run one-half mile south of the Tempe limits. It do not think anyone is thinking of fencing up the road to Tempe, people wishing to go to Tempe would have the same old road to travel on.
 'I was here in the year 1891 when the Salt overflowed her banks and am well acquainted with the condi- tions of the river bed at that time When I came to the Salt River val ley in January, 1879, the river bed was covered with large cottonwoods, black willows and other kinds of willows and brush. and the river bed was cut up into several small chan nels; the mountains were covered with grass and brush which kept the soil from washing and also checked the flow of rainwater until most of it soaked into the ground and we did not have high floods then like We have had in recent years. After that time the ranges were overstOcked with sheep and cattle, the grass fed off, and the brush destroyed. Each year the river ran higher in flood season, the water sheds growing more barren, and brought down slit and brush wood, which was caught by the trees and brush in the river bottoms when it reached the valley The river bed gradually filled up un- til 1891, when there occurred a ter rible rainstorm on the Salt and Verde water sheds and the result was very high river which overflowed in some places until the main current could clear the channel of the trees and brush wood. The second flood that came down finished cutting out the channel, which has been getting deeped ever since. I do not think there is any danger of a flood ever overflowing again, even if there was no TontO Dam.
