A LITTLE TALK
 ON ADVERTISING
SHOWING THAT THE TEMPE MFR
 CHANTS ARE WISE.
They Use Good Judgment in the Use
 of Printers Ink and Get Results.

The appearance of the Tempe de- partment of The Republican this morn ing indicates better than can words that the merchants of Tempe are a progressive lot and appreciate the value of printers ink when used where 1t will do the most good.
 Attention is first called this morning to the display ad of the Arizona Mer- cantiie company. This firm has for the past week been conducting with fiattering success a mill outlet sale The sale will last one week longer. closing on next Saturday Today will be one of the biggest safes Of the day. and in order that customers max come tO town and make a day of it without the additional expense of being away from home for dinner the store will serve a free lunch from F until ? o'clock
 Another attractive display ad on this page this morning is that of the w E. Ceach store. Mir. Geach is making a few exceptional offerings In view of the near approach of Easter. This special sale lasts but two days-today and Monday The goods offered at these reduced prices are absolutely new and fresh and the prices are such that the public is given an opportunity to buy Easter goods at a low figure week in advance of the occasion. This is a chance to spruce up a little for the Easter period when everyone wants to look just a little better than at any other time.
 Another display ad announces that I,. | close out it's entire line The full par ticulars of this will appear in the ad- vertising columns of The Republican Monday morning. Just now it may be said that the firm means just what it says. Everything is to be closed out The firm is not going to quit business in Tempe by any means. but is planning a new enterprise, the par ticulars of which will be made public in due time.
 c. A. Goodwin is also carrying extra space this week. announcing a special sale on curios. blankets. etc.
 In addition to the above mentioned advertisers, there are a number of re- liable Tempe firms who are constant advertisers in The Republican who handle good goods and who may be depended upon in their respective lines of business. Read every word on this page today and profit thereby. for some exceptional opportunities are of fered to save money. You don't need to go out of town to spend your money. thinking that thereby you can save a little of it The home merchant de- serves your trade and support. and in helping the merchant you are helping the town and. incidentally. thereby helping yourself.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
 BRIDGE CONTROVERSY
A FRIENDLY WAY OUT OF A DIE
 FACULTY.
A Proposition offeed by the Temps
 Bridge Committee.

At a meeting of the Tempe bridge committee held yesterday a plan was considered which, if adopted by both factions. will mean a solution of the present controversy. which in its pres ent form threatens to result in no bridge at all
 The committee drew up the follow ing agreement which is quite self-ex- planatory in itself:
 We, the undersigned electors and taxpayers of Tempe and vicinity. real izing that on account of the compli- cations existing in the present bridge to secure the construction of a bridge at or near the foot of Center street in Phoenix. and that it is somewhat doubtful if the proposition for bridge at any point in fact, on the Salt river or Agua F'ria river in Maricopa coun- ty. can be carried to a successful con clusion at the now proposed special election. hereby agree that if the pro motors of the Center street site will withdraw their petition and support the proposition raised by the petition now prepared for filing for the bridge at the Tempe site. we will, by our in fluence and votes, support a propOsi- ton for the construction of a bridge across the Salt river at or near. the foot of Center street in Phoenix in the year 1910, provided such proposition shall call for a bridge which shall cost ha inn s5O.OOO."
 This agreement was liberally signed yesterday and it is believed will be signed by every taxpayer in the Tempe district. If this proposition is agreed to by the Center street bridge pro- moters the controversy is over and solution is obvious. Whether or not it will be accepted remains to be seen.

"The TRAVELLING Salesman"

The four-act comedy, 1.-THE Travel
ing Salesman" by James Forbes, which
was presented at the Augusta Opera
house last evening before fair sized
audience, proved itself theatrical
treat that will not soon be forgotten
by the lovers of good wholesome
comedy.
THE Travelling Salesman so far as
plot is concerned, is rather flimsy, but
the company last night was of such a
quality that even the serious situa-
tions-which< were few in number
held the careful attention of the audi
ence to a surprising degree.
But it was in the line Of comedy
that made the play what it was-one
of the best that has been seen in Au>
gusta for many a day. Every line
sparkled with genuine humor and
bright, wholesome, wit. Not only that,
but the company was capable of show
ing to perfection the real merit of the
play itself.
To name those who deserve favor
able mention would be to enumerate
the whole cast, though, as to be eX-
pected, Mr.. Webb as Bob Blake" and
Miss Coghlan as Beth Elliott" We're
the individuals around which interest
centered and they met every require
ment placed upon them.
The audience was kept in roar OF
laughter throughout and all who were
present would be glad of an oppOrtuni-
ty of again seeing THE Travelling
Salesman" within the near future. !
