MESA THE BATTLE-GROUND
 IN BRIDGE CONTROVERSY
Facts and Figured Poured Cut at a
 Mass Meeting.

The pros and cons of the location of the wagon bridge across the Salt river at the Center street location assembled in Mesa yesterday after noon and for an hour or more pour ed facts and figures in on Mesa citizens in staggering array. Tempe as well as Phoenix was well repre- scented, but Phoenix had the floor throughout the meeting.
 Dr. Chandler was chosen chairman of the mass meeting which convened in the Mesa Opera house at three o'clock and after a few perfunctory remarks introduced the first speaker of the day, l.. H. Chalmers. Mr. Chalmers used the map in his re- marks and showed that he had made al considerable study on bridge build ing and the proper locations for structures on the Salt river.
 Dwight B. Heard, who has come to be featured in the controversy was the second speaker on the pro- gram, and the subject assigned him was bit of history in regard to the Center street structure as far as it 
 has his finger on the pulse of the situation better than any man inter ested and he was loaded for bear. In this respect it might be stated that he had everything at his fingers end. One point he brought out which ap- peared to have a new meaning was that he understood that it was the idea of the Tempe citizens that they were opposing the Center street loca ton on account of expecting the trade from the lands to be c1lonizcd by the Bartlett Heard company. He stated that $50. 900 would be paid in the county treasury within thirty days if the location was made at Center street.
 Roy Goodrich was the next speak CT. He talked from the standpoint of the tax payer and the bIrGcn that would be imposed. On $10.G00 of tax able property the tax on account of the bridge would be $32, and there would be two years in which to pay it. Then he described the advantages of the bridge.
 Mir. Mayberry of the National Bridge company was the next speak
  to Roosevelt and he spoke principally of the grand scenery along that road.
 H. l.. Smith of the Union Iron Works of Los Angeles followed with an array of figures on the cost of the bridge. He went into details re- sarding the Center street structure but he declined an invitation to make a comparison between the two sites
 Dr. B. B. Moueur of Tempe spoke in favor of the bridge at that site. He was asked by Mir. Heard if Tempe wanted q trolley line on the bridge He replied in the negative.
 Eugene Brady O'Neill followed with a very sarcastic address on taxation. He roasted Tempe on an old score. for not coming into the Water Users association.
 B. A. Fowler, the last speaker. was very brief. and of course advocated the Center street bridge.

many inspectors may pass upon it. that it is liable to pass and be the means of starting a tree disease that 1t will take twenty years and millions of dollars to eradicate
 Irrigation was another point that the gentlemen took up. If the peo- pie in California had as much irri- gating water as you people have herd they would, indeed, think themselves flooded out. There is undoubtedly no question about it, you are using tod much water. You are doing your selves an injustice and you are fearn- ing not to get the most out of your land or rather you are getting in the habit of not getting all out Of your land"
 In view of the fact that there is an immense acreage of orange trees set out here this spring, and that the government has upwards of nine hundred men who are experts in this line and whose business it is to col lect and also disseminate this infor- nation, the question was put up to MT. Powell in an effort to learn what it would take to get an expert sta toned at Phoenix, whose business it would be to make a study of the conditions here at close range and in Struct and advise the orange growers. MT. Powell replied that on account of the demand for information of this kind his men were engaged for some time ahead and that nothing short of an organization and a concerted effort would secure the services of a man who has made d life study of the orange business.
 The gentlemen. after hearing the various conditions of the climate and the report that no insect life peculiar to orange trees could exist in this climate, thought that the idea was an erroneous one. They stated that the white fly. in their opinion, would in all probability be the first real enemy to make its appearance. However, they added that eternal vigilance is the price of keeping a section free from the pestilence.

THE LARGEST PICNIC
 IN POINT OF NUMBERS
A Gathering Of Pupils of Latter Day Saints Sunday School.

The Sunday school picnic of the Latter Day Saints church which was held at Granite Reef all day yester day is the largest of the season in point of numbers and. a general good time. The plans had been made to meet in front of the opera house at 1:30 yesterday morning but this proved a little too early for a great number of those intending to go and many did not get started until near ly 10 o'clock and some even later. The principal route was east along the Roosevelt road to a point on the other side of the Highland canal. The particular point the east side of the Highland does not matter, so that it was at Desert Wells or this side, the reasons being for this was that the canal at this time is full of water and in some instances is several yards wiGe. A few wh0 had not been notified of this condition attempted 10 take rhe near rcu-r hy going di- [ ctly across tiae desclt, but they were disappointed when they reached the Highland. However, all these little obstacles are absolutely neces- sary for any successful picnic. The dust was noticeable on the Roosevelt road on account of the heavy traffic of oil wagons and those making the trip on the hay racks were many times reminded of this fact, but this is also another essential to sue cessful picnic.
 When once at the dam site the diff ficulties of the trip were redeemed for the day was a most ideal one for an outing. The well filled lunch baskets were hauled forth from the back ends of spring wagons and from under buggy seats and the hungry youngsters laid to it with a hearty good will that is born of Sunday school picnics. Fried chicken, some of it tender and some of it tough, fig preserves just exactly like mother used to make. and chocolate cake, nut cake, granite cake and cookies, all heaped here and there in profu sion. It was a great day and every body had a good time. It is the general opinion among the primary classes that a picnic should be de- clared for every Saturday through out the year.

NeIeHeoRHoop CONTROVERSY

A little neighborhood controversy has been reported from west of town between road overseer Hugh Dana and Dudley Duke. Mir. Dana was in- structed by the county supervisors, it is understood to widen the road, and in following out his instructions it appears that it was necessary to cut down a few trees growing in a field which has hitherto been in the pos session of Dudley Duke. Naturally the trespass on the part of the road overseer made Mir. Duke angry and he was not the least bit slow in saying so. He demanded $100 in payment for the damages done his premises at the hands of the road overseer. This was denied and Gus Streitz, county surveyor has been called in to decide the matter in con nection with James T. Lisonbee and Ed. Lewis.

THE RICH AND THE PooR-RiCH.
Where Fashionable Increase Of Living
Expenses Is Leading People

At the recent automobile show In
New York 100000 worth OF cars
are said to have been sold. Now IL
ought to make no great matter now
the rich waste their money-except 10
them. But II does matter greatly II
the welltodo follow the fashion OF
the rich. and the poor in turn follow,
as nearly as they can, the fashion OF
the well-to-do. For then great mum
bers of persons buy or hire houses
that they cannot afford, maintain scrv.
ants that they ought not to tax them
selves with, outeat and out-drink
and out-wear their incomes, and put
their lives on false economic basis.
If the economic basis OF ones life be
false other things also quickly be
come false: and the whole atmosphere
in which these poor-rich people live is
unhealthful.
This fashionable increase of living
expenses adds to a necessary increase

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen, 1hymol, Giycer
inc. Etc, Used as a Simple
Wash.

II really seems strange that SO
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when 1t is now no
longer a secret that oil Of winter
green mixed with tnymol, glycerine'
etc. makes a wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in a few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find Immediately That wonder
fully soothing. calm, cooi sensation
that comes when the itch is taken
away. Instantly upon applying lie"
drops of the wash, the remedy takes
effect. the itch is allayed. There Is
no need of experiment--the patient
knows at once.
Instead of trying TO compound th'
oil of wintergreen, thymofy giycerine
etc. in the right proportions our
selves we are using a prescription
which is universally found the mos
effective. 1t is known as the d. d. d
PRESCRIPTION. or Oil of Wintergreer
COMPOUND. It is made by the D. d
D. Co. of Chicago. and our long eN
perience with this remedy has givel
us great confidence in its merits
