Funds for the Work.

Bsen Greatly Enlarged Recently by

the Ladies in Charge.
The ladies of the Stone Settlement
home have decided upon Saturday,
September II, as the date for their
second annual " tag day." when an
effort VIII be made to raise funds by
the sale of tags for the purpose of
helping defray the expenses Of the
home for the coming year.
Last year, despite the unfayorable
weather conditions, a neat sum was
realized by the ladies', but It is hoped
that a larger sum will be realized
this year, owing to the increased ex-
penditure for the wider scope of the
work of the home.
Both small and large tags will be
sod by the corps of ladies and their
assistants, and If you are not tagged"
on that day it will be q sign that you
are not in sympathy with the splendid
work now being accomplished by the
ladies Of the settlement home. The
small tags win be sold 10 individuals,
who are supposed 10 wear them in
some conspicuous place about their
clothing, and the large tags will be
sold to business houses, etc.
This method of raising money for
charitable and eleemosynary institu-
tons is very popular III all sections
of the country, and usually very sat-
isfactory results are obtained. There
is no fixed price for the tags, each
person paying what he or she can af-
ford. All funds thus collected will be
in the work of the home, and it
is hoped that the people Of the city, as
well as those of the county, will con
tribute their share toward this splen-
did ause.
Last year the expense OF conducting
the home and it's various branch work
was more than s1,400, al of which
was raised by the ladies in charge.
This rear the expense will be even
greater, owing to the wide efforts Of
the ladies, and no one who is in a
position to do so should neglect to con-
tribute toward this most worthy pro-
ject.
Remember the date, Saturday, Sep

lieve that the citizens of Tempe and Mesa go to Phoenix to trade. it may be that a bridge at Center street would not be built in the interests of the few as against the interests of the many. but the fact remains that bridge at Tempe would be built on the shortest road, at the only place on the river where there is rock, where there would be no long approaches to build and maintain. and at a place where it would accommodate the greatest num- Der of people that live on the south side and want to use the bridge con tinually. Please remember that the people who are making the fight for a bridge at Heard's ranch, with very few exceptions. do not now and never in tend in the future to live on the south side of the river. They are not res ident land owners but speculators
 They can afford to spend $50.00O when by so doing they get the taxpayers to give them the same amount. When they sell their land they will add not the $50.000 but the whole sum to the price of the land. When a man builds a sidewalk he adds the cost of his i'm provements to his selling price. but the city doesn't help him pay for his sidewalk. The only argument We have heard for the bridge at Heard's ranch is the large tract of land south of the river. not the people because they are not there. but the land. Is il i'm pertinent to ask who owns the land?

The Kitchen Floor.

It is the general opinion that nothing is quite so satisfactory and cleanly as bare kitchen floor which requires the lime honored scrubbing with soap and water, and were it not for the labor of keeping such floor they would be more generally in favor with housekeepers. The work of scrubbing may be greatly frightened by using in each pailful of water a solution made by dissolving a tablespoonful of Gold Dust washing powder in a small quantity of hot water. If this is used on the floor each week old stains which seemed quite hopeless will gradually fade away. It is also excellent for scrubbing stone steps and woodwork.

LIVELY EXPERIENCE
 IN THE SALT RIVER
IT MADE TWO GOOD BRIDGE AD-
 VocATEs.
They Hadsa Close Call From a Watery Grave at Heard's Crossing.

There are two people of this place who since Saturday are about the strongest bridge advocates in the val ley. They are not particular whether one or half a dozen bridges are built. or whether Salt river is abolished al together and wiped off the map. as a learned Phoenix gentleman proposes to do to Tempe.
 These two gentlemen are Claude Brewer and George Chitwood. The reason of this strong desire to have all the bridges possible, lies in the fact that on Saturday they came just a little bit nearer q watery grave then they ever did before or ever care to again. They started to Phoenix by way of the Heard crossing. driving a single rig and leading a saddle horse. They reached the river and started across, following what they thought was the regular crossing. Either they missed the usual ford or the river was higher than they calculated. for when part way across the current became too strong for the light conveyance and 1t turned over, smashing the wheels and twisting the shafts off The two men had a lively scramble in the water getting the horse disengaged from what was left of the rig. one of them then mounted the saddle horse and the other the driving animal and in this fashion they managed to get to dry land. The buggy floated on down stream until what was left of 1t lodged against bush. The seat and parasol floated on down the river. IL was a close call for both of them and had it not been for the extra horse. the chances are good that one of the men would never have had chance to vote on the bridge question.

4 MASS MEETING

Will Be Held Tonight to Discuss the
 Bridge Situation.

The citizens of Tempe held a meet ing at the council chambers Saturday evening for the purpose of discussing the bridge situation and the matter was taken up at some length. The meeting was not generally announced. however, and there was not a very large attendance. In order that every one interested may have the oppor tunity Of knowing just where things stand at the present time, another meeting has been called for tonight. This will be more in the nature of a mass meeting and will be held at the Goodwin opera house where there will be room for all,/ It is urgently re- quested that there be a full attendance of Tempe farmers and business men as the things to be considered are of vital interest to all.

HIS ANNIVERSARY
 0F ARRIVAL HERE
WHY JAS. GOODWIN CELEBRATED
 YESTERDAY.
He Landed in Tempe 25 Years Ago With IS Gents in His Pockets.

James Goodwin was a happy man yesterday for the day marked the eel ebration of the 18th anniversary of one of the most important occasions of his life Just twenty-five years ago yes terday afternoon. Mir. Goodwin arrived in Tempe on the tail end of a buck board. sitting astride the top of a trunk. Transportation facilities in those days were not as advantageous as they are now and Mir. Goodwin was thankful to accept the method of tray el and pay ten dollars for the priv ilege of riding the blackboard from Bisbee to Tempe. The trip was rather a trying one in many respects, but looking backward over the years that have since elapsed, he feels that it was well worth all the unpleasant incl dents.
 The afternoon he crawled off the top of that trunk, he had exactly fifteen cents in his pockets and was q strang- CT In a strange land for not a soul in this vicinity had he ever seen be- fore at that time. He expended five of the fifteen cents in a loaf of bread and the next morning was successful in landing job at thirty-five dollars a month Feeling that this good for tune merited a little blow -out. he squandered the remainder of the fif- teen cents in potatoes and had good square meal before starting to work
 Jim was the first Goodwin to land in Tempe. the other members of the family following his footsteps to the land of sunshine at VoriOuS intervals afterward. At that time. Tempe con sisted of the Hayden mill and hotel and a few old adobe houses in Mex ican town. The house in which he now lives. then known as the Shannon house. was also standing. and these few things are about all that he sees now days that were standing here when he first viewed Tempe During those twenty five years he has watch ed the growth of Tempe from a little place of half a dozen buildings. to one of the neatest and most modern little towns in the west He feels a justi- liable. pride in the present appearance of the town for in much of it he had a hand; then too. coming as he did when there was little here. he is in a position to better appreciate the mark ed contrast between the appearance of the town when he first saw it, and its present appearance.
 In celebration of this glorious occa- sion, Mir. Goodwin yesterday invited a number of his relatives to enjoy d chicken dinner with him and give the day the recognition it is due.
