gerous to build a low bridge of the
 type that the advocates of this lower
 site propose, they propose to build a
 twO-thirds bridge and the rest of the
 channel is to be damned with a causeway, or, in plain English, a dirt fill, over which it is proposed to let
 the water run when it is high enough
 to be dangerous to the bridge.
 Of course the type of bridge is to be decided by the supervisors, and the contract is to be let by them, so this discussion of type makes little differ mains that bridge across the whole channel of the river at Center street would cost about S175,OOO and not S100,0O0. The two-thirds bridge would be so low that it would be dangerous to the property owners along the riv- CT as well as to the whole of Phoenix, as at high water the brush and trees coming down would lodge against the bridge, raising the level of the water up stream and making a diversion dam that would either destroy the land south of the bridge or sweep through the streets of Phoenix as it did in 1891.
 The taxpayers of the south side are nearly unit in wanting the bridge at Tempe, where it will accommodate the greatest number of people of the whole valley. If the land in the Heard ranch is divided into small tracts and sold the taxable value of this land will be nearly doubled, and by that time the tax roll of the whole county will be doubled. At this increased. valuation a $2OO,OO0 bridge could be built at Center street and the people who would be benefited would be paying for their share. At the present time the promoters of the Center street bridge as a rule do not live on their land south of the river and do not intend to do so. In fact, the last election showed that there was about one vote cast to every 1000 acres of land. Quite an idea that the county should build q bridge to

accommodate twenty people, when a bridge at Tempe would serve five thousand people who have to go to the county seat to pay taxes, and when these same people spend thou sands of dollars with the merchants of Phoenix each year. If you have any doubt of the number of south side people who trade in Phoenix watch the Mesa train from Tempe and Mesa a few mornings and even lngs. If you have any doubt as to the number that would drive, look at the increase in fares this year over last year. It has been impossi- ble to ford at Tempe for nearly six months.
 We have been criticised by some Of the persons interested in the bridge at Heard's ranch because we mention NIT. Heard in this discussion. They say that We are making a personal light of the matter. The fact of the matter is that no one planes Mir. Heard for trying to get the taxpayers to let him have their money to build a bridge at his ranch and mostly for his own personal benefit. Most any other man under the same circum- stances would do the same. But we do intend to let the taxpayers have the facts, no matter whom they strike. The fact alone that Mir. Heard and his associates find it necessary to raise bonus in order to try and get the vote of the county shows that they recognize the weakness of their po- sition and are trying to influence the taxpayers to vote for the bridge at Heard's ranch when they know that if the question were left to a vote of the taxpayers on the merits of the case they would not have one chance in hundred. Now if this sort of ar gument is personal, we intend to be personal However, in our opinion this is not personal We are making no fight against Mir Heard as an in dividual. but we do object to the plans of Mir. Heard as the representa- tive of the Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle company, when these same plans have for their object the build ing of bridge at point where most of the taxpayers do not want it and the building of which would be an in- jury to our town under present con- ditions.
 As has been stated before, Mir. Heard's proposed road would pass through the country a mile south of

TEMPE REAL ESTATE
 IS CHANGING HANDS
And Good Prices Are Being Paid for 1t.

A good deal of real estate has changed hands in the Tempe section within the past few days and a num- Der of othfr deals are pending.
 Yesterday, the L. F. Bruce eighty acres, east of Tempe, on the Tempe Mesa road, was sold to a party who. for private reasons, does not care to have his name mentioned The main point. however, is that the place was sold, and the consideration was $50 per acre This is a good ranch, well located and nicely improved.
 Another deal was closed yesterday for still large figure per acre. That was the George Kemper ranch, two miles east of town, of the M. & P. railroad. The consideration in this in- stance was s240 per acre, though it was smaller in size than the Bruce place It. too. is well improved and makes a comfortable suburban home. The buyer was Claude Brewer, substi- ute letter carrier from the Tempe office
 Still another deal was closed the day before yesterday. though the particu- lars have not been made public. This was the sale of the Cooper ranch, just north Of Tempe. across the river. The consideration in this case was not given. This tract Of land is only par tially under cultivation, but that part of it that is in use is splendid land for truck gardening, and Mir. Cooper has grown some wonderful crops there.
 The first two deals mentioned were made through the agency of Andrew Nielsen. This all goes to show that Tempe property is increasing in value rapidly. A few years ago s100 an acre was considered a big price: nowadays twice that much is not thought much of. and the chances are that in an other year a still larger figure will not excite much comment.

CIGARM MHKER HERE,

Ii. z. Weller, of Omaha. the propri- etor of the Richardson Drug company of that place, was a business visitor here yesterday. Mir. Weller is the maker of the famous Wellerette cigars. and they take their name from the fact that each box bears on it the picture of the two Weller children: therefore called 'Wellerettes."
