REPLY ID A LETTER
 IN YESTERDAYS PAPER
In Which Some Desired Information Is Given on the Bridge Matter.

Referring to the letter in yester- days paper by MT. Goodrich, in which he expresses a desire for information, the Tempe bridge committee has sub mitted the following reply
 The county engineer, acting under instructions from the board of super visors, has made profiles of both the proposed locations and at the present time six of the largest bridge com panies of the United States are draw ing plans on the data furnished by the county engineer for bridges at both locations. These plans will probably be given to the public in a few days or at least as soon as the board of supervisors make them pub lie.
 We want to correct the statement by MT. Goodrich that the people at Tempe voted against a bridge that would carry a street car line. When the representatives of the company, who have planned the only bridge that the committee MT. Goodrich rep resents, asked what kind of a bridge we would like to have them make plans for they were told to make plans for a highway bridge without a street car line. This after they had assured us that a bridge for car line would cost twenty-five per cent more. By getting these plans we could get an estimate on either type of bridge and not have to be continu ally changing our estimates as the advocates of the other site have been Ii. ing and will probably continue to do up to the time O. the election.
 This question of ty e is entirely in the hanGs of the boar,i of supervisors and what we want or what MT. Heard and lis friends want has nothing tt do WIT the question. We are not th lAci:lrng power in this question. Jt win ,r~.a! y please 'h-. adv -ca;.-s z. the largest bridge in the world how Q, or. 10 fn0w th :t the National Bridge Co. is making plans for bridge of the same type at Tempe that was planned for Center street heavy enough to carry a street car line. This on data furnished by the county engineer.
 We want to call the attention of the taxpayers to the fact, however, that the National Bridge O., have patents on many of the details in their type of bridge and thi.e arS other cDInuaDy bidding on .heir pl1ns are compelled to pay 10 per cent royalty This eliminates competition in the bidding.
 The representative of the Missouri Valley Bridge Co. has assured us that a bridge at Tempe will cost about s55, ,O00' for a permanent steel highway bridge build to conform with the data furnished by the county engineer, MT. Gus Strietz We will have all the plans and information that you may desire in a very few days, both as to cost and type for a substantial bridge at Tempe and at Heard's ranch.

we gave them this opportunity. The lots that we do not dispose of today, we will sell by some other method exactly how, or at what figure, we have not yet decided"
 The only accounting for the situa- tion is that there was not sufficient demand for property. The terms could not have been more generous. MT. Getsinger, the auctioneer, did the best he could with the crowd on hand, and considering everything, his end of the sale was well handled.

TIN CANNED THE TRAIN

The bride and groom, MT and Mrs. Gregory. left on Wednesday evenings train for Mexico, and were given a hearty farewell by their Tempe friends. An abundance of rice was utilized to the best advantage and the train was tincanned. Half a dozen oil cans were attached in such manner that they just reached the ties. As the train pulled out, the last sound that could be heard was the bang of these cans.

BE HOME IN JULY

Word has recently been received from Tom Sing, one of the best known celestials in the valley, that he is drawing his visit in China to a close and early in June will depart for Tempe. Tom left here last July and according to the terms of the immigration law, he must be back by the first of that month. The restric- tions placed upo- Chinese will work a great hardship upon him, for shortly after his arrival in China, he took un- to himself a wife. It will be impos- sible for him to bring his wife back with him, so when he returns it will be alone.

LUNCHEON.

The first requisite for a Japanese
luncheon is an abundance of flowers.
Cherry blossoms. wistaria, and ehrys-
anthemums are favorites, all of which
may be cleverly initiated by using it's
sue paper. These flowers may be
bought quite i~nexpensively in the fancy
work departments of many stores. Use
delicate paper napkins of Japanese
import, for they are much finer and
softer than those of American make.
: Rice, tea and fish must figure I'm the
menu, of course. A delicious combina-
ton Is creamed chicken In rice cups
with mushrooms, a sandwich of an,
chovy or some other fish, and a salad
OF radishes and cucumbers. The dainty
"Japs' are fond OF these two vege-
tables. A fruit ice, preferably cherry,
with candied ginger, would be de-
licious and appropriate. AS you doubt
less know, the Japanese are served
from individual trays, which are placed
on a little stool I'm front Of where they
sit cross legged on the floor. 1t would
be typically "Japanesque' to serve
each guest individually of a small
tray.

THE VALUE OF TACT.

The Goth century fairy who appears
at the cradle of the modern baby be-
slows upon 1t the gift of tact beyond
all others. 1t Is now the supreme en-
,dowment. The girl who has it can find
a footing with those who nave genius,
talent, money and beauty.
From the lack of II girls suffer more
than from the lack of these other gifts.
1t seems as though 1t must be a fairy's
gift at the cradle, because it is so hard
to achieve. 1t can be acquired with
patience and study. t-
The girl who hasn't got It should
carefully criticise every failure she
makes with friends ard opportunities,
no matter how small, and see II a lack
of tact is not at the bottom of these.
Tact takes a knowledge of human ma
'ture, IL is true; but this also IN by
study and observation. The girl who
goes through the world without absorb
ing knowledge about those around her
is doomed TO a lonely old age.
IL she goes through the world blum
'dering she will spend far more miser-
able moments thar she gives others.
If she hasn't tact she should hunt for
It, pray for II, work for 1T. 1t will give
her more happiness than gifts that are
spelled in capital letters and considered
supreme.
