With The Legislators
House Passed s1o.ooo War Bill.

In the House the main feature, was the debate upon and passage of the bill appropriating $10,000 as contin- gent fund for the attorney general to be used in defending the suits now pending in the United States supreme Court, relative to the Wingo act ana other acts, particularly the Barker demurrage law, both of which nave been called into question on the charge of invalidity.
 The bill was attacked on the ground that the appropriation is unnecessary in that 1t is the business of the at torney general to look after the state legal interest and see that the acts of the legislature are enforced. Those advocating it's passage contended that the present appropriation is not Tor the ordinary expenses of the oflce ol attorney general, but for extraordlha. ry contingencies, for the payment ot witnesses in securing testimony ana of expert assistants, if, in the dls- cretion of the attorney general sueh are needed.

Got the Letters Mixed.

A young American, who is particular about his washing, the other day wrote a note to his laundress and one to his sweetheart, and. by a strange fatality, put the wrong address on each envei ope and sent them off. The wash. woman was delighted at an invitation to take a ride the next day but when the young lady read, If you tumble up my shirt bosom any more as you did the last time. will go somewhere else" she cried all the evening and declared she would never speak to him again.

PRIZE FOOD PalatabIe, Economical, Nourishing.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words and that from personal experience. She writes:
 After our long experience with Grape Nuts, I cannot say enough in it's favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years.
 We sometimes tried other adver- tised breakfast foods but we invariabl. returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal atable, economical and nourishing of all.
 When quit tea and coffee and be- gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts l was a nervous wreck. l was so ir- ritable I could not sleep nights, had no interest in life.
 After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these ail- rlents have disappeared and now am well woman. My two children have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they eat three times day.
 They are pictures of health and have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe siege of whooping cough they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed
 "Grape.Nuts food has saved doctor bills, and has been, therefore, most economical food for us

One afternoon I overheard my tive children talking about the sunday school lesson.
 Dick, who was much smaller than Margaret, believed all she said about it. So he asked her what God looked like, and she quickly answered; God looks like a stalk of corn, because mamma said he had ears on all sides. and a stalk of corn is the only thing l know that has ears on all sides. - Delineator

 The Center street committee have not been sincere in any of their state ments to the public and by their in sincerity have lost all chance if they had any chance at the present time, of getting a bridge. Their hitter attacks on anyone who opposed them have lost them the respect of fair minded people. eve want to state here that this committee had no idea that Mir Patrick intended making the careful investigation that he has of the real situation and had no idea that he in- tended writing a letter to the pressO Their attack on Mir. Patrick, an en- gineer who built the NJ. & P. railroad, a poineer of this county and above all a civil engineer who built the first bridge across the Salt river, bridge that stood until it was blasted out, is without parallel for audacity. Because MT. Patrick, who was a good enough engineer to do MT. Heard's work, con- sidered his reputation as an engineer above the value of a few dollars. he is attacked in one of those personal articles that the Center street bridge committee so much deplore-when they are used by some one else.
 We are asking the taxpayers for their votes tomorrow for the Tempe bridge. It is the best location. on the main travelled road and will accom- moGate the most people. The Center street bridge cannot win and if you are sincere, as we believe most of the taxpayers are, in wanting a bridge across the Salt river, in wanting rapid transit lines through this valley. in wanting to make this valley one great community with common interests, common aims and the most progress sive valley in the west you will vote for the Tempe bridge. There are 5000 reasons for this bridge. They are the people who live on the south side

THE REPORT
 MADE PUBLIC The Findings of the County
 Surveyor / IS FAVORABLE ID TEMPE| In the Report the Building of a Concrete Bridge Is Not Regarded as Practical For Various Reasons.
IS FAVORABLE 10 TEMPE

According to the plans prepared by
 the standard bridge companies of the
 United States. the Center street bridge
 will cost from s125,595 to s173,350,
 while the bridge at Tempe will cost from 5000 to g3,0O0. The same specifications were sent to all the large
 bridge companies and not a single one
 submitted a plan for a concrete bridge, so the report shows only the plans sub
 mitted by Mayberry 6 Parker, who have had charge as consulting engi-
 neers of some of the viaducts and small bridges built by the National Bridge company in southern California,
 the principal one being a long viaduct
 across the San Gabriel river, a stream
 that rises till it's banks are running
 over and falls again until it is nearly dry inside three hours. In fact, the i San Gabriel is little more than a large
 wash and its action is similar to that
 of Cave Creek.
 Mir. Streitz, in his report, shows that he has not considered the building of
 a concrete bridge practical and the large bridge companies show the same opinion by not submitting any con- crete plans. As We have always in
 sisted. concrete bridges are largely an experiment, and the experimenting at Peoria, III, cost the county $20O, ,O0O We do not believe that Maricopa coun- ty intends conducting any such exper- iments
 Particular attention is called to the
 note in MT. Streitz's report which is
 as follows: The reinforced concrete plans do not conform thereto in length.
 width. depth of piers. this being ab- ! solutely essential. the last to safety ! As We have always stated. these plans for a two-thirds bridge would not be
 approved by any engineer in Arizona
 or anyone familiar with western rivers. MT. Heard takes the action on sub
 division that we have always said he would take.
 If you have not already read the re- port of MT. Heard's proposition to the | Water Users association, read it. As we have insisted, he does not intend i to subdivide his land and the only proposition he would make was to sign ' the San Francisco lands with the op- : tiOn of withdrawing if he saw fit at 1 the end of five years. Where does any | subdivision come in here?
 MT Heard does not intend building
 a street car line over his bridge This is stated by Mir. Heard and MT

Larrabee" From all the information I am able to obtain it seems that this is the situation: On July 10. 1908, all most year ago. a letter was written to the department of the interior office of Indian affairs by the Phoenix & South Bridge company, of Phoenix. This company it seems proposed to build a toll bridge from the river at the foot of Center street They estimated the cost of that bridge to be $75.000, 00. Quoting from this letter: As the h. dians, 400 more or less, will be mate railly benefited by this bridge if built you think they should donate in work or otherwise not less than S15.O0O to- wards construction. Many of them have agreed in writing to give a cer- tain number of days work with their teams for this purpose. You ask whether S500O of the Support of the Pima Indians in 1909 can be used to feed the Indians while working on the bridge. so that when the pan for con structing it is settled, and the agree ment by the Indians to donate work can be approved. and recommended that a contract be executed securing to them free use of the bridge and other wise protecting them before they are allowed to begin work
 Tn response you are informed that the funds to which you refer are avail able and have been set aside for the purpose indicated"
 Now. the s5OOO that the Center street people speak of was originally set aside to feed the Indians while they worked on the toll bridge and it seems that a contract has been entered into by which the Indians had agreed to work upon this toll bridge but the conditions now have changed, the bridge that is proposed to be built at the present time is a free county bridge. Mir. Alex ander told our Tempe committee that if we could get any Indians to work upon our bridge he would furnish them feed while they did such work He said he had made the same promise to the
