NATIONAL BRIDGE co.
 BIDS FOR BUSINESS
But It Is Not Looking for the Best of 1t In Any Quarter.

The following letter from the Ma tional Bridge company, received yes terday by B. A. Fowler was called out by the recent letter written by Super visor L. NJ. Hoghe and published in this newspaper:
 Los Angeles, Cal, April 22, Mir B. A. Fowler, Chairman of Trans
 portation Committee Board of
 Trade,
 Phoenix, Ariz..
 Dear Sir:-In reference to rumors concerning the National Bridge com pany's cinch on the Center street pro ject, you can say for us that we do not consider We have a cinch. except ing so far as our concern wins out every time on the merits of it's struc- ture and from experience of several thousand bridges, we do not fear any competition.
 We are not looking for favors, and if the city of Phoenix can get a better bridge for less money it certainly is up to them to do so. I cannot conceive how such a report would be effective in your campaign, as the Bartlett iiediu pcople oelIiS DuSlHeSS iheH CeT- tainly chose our type of bridge as the one they favored. owing to its strength, its permanency and it's low cost.
 There is no graft. rake off or other skull dudgery in any business that the firm Of Mayberry & Parker or the Ma tional Bridge company has a hand in. You are at liberty to use this letter in any manner you may see fit.
 Yours very truly,
 NATIONAL BRIDGE COMPANY,
 Per, H. H. Mayberry.

THE PRINCIPAL QUESTION
 DO WE WANT 4 BRIDGE
Why the Need of It Will Be Greater Than Ever.
To the Editor of the Republican:

To the Editor of the Republican:
 Do we want a bridge?" This ques- tion is asked on every hand, and the subject is discussed by every farmer, mechanic and business man in Mari copa county.
 It seems strange to me why a per son who has lived in this valley for any length of time should even con- sider the question from standpoint of economy. We all realize the abso- lute necessity of a bridge across the Salt River: it will save life and prop erty. and surely no reputable citizen places his cash box above the plane of human life.
 The completion of the Tonto dam will so regulate the flood waters that the people of MaricOpa county will be confronted with high water for sev-

INDIGESTION
Larson Drug Go. Has a Remedy Ina. 1t Guarantee to Promptly Re-
 Iieve All Stomach Distress.

People go on suffering from little stomach troubles for years and imag- inc they have a serious disease.
 They over eat or over drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work
 If these people would take a Mi o-na tablet with or after meals it would be a great big help to the stomach in it's strain of overwork.
 No matter what you eat or drink Mi-O-na tablets will sweeten your sour stomach and stop gas belching in 10 minutes. The heaviness disap- pears and the stomach is greatly aided in its work of digestion.
 And Mi-o-na not only promptly re- lieves all distress but if taken reg ularly will absolutely cure indigestion by building up the flabby overworked walls of the stomach and making them strong enough to digest the most hearty meal.
 Larson Drug Go. sells and guaran- tees Mi-o-na. The price is 30 cents a large box. Leading druggists every where sell Mi-o-na.

SOME BIG CORN.

Tobias Kibler, residing four miles
southwest of Bowling Green, brought
some real Wood county corn into the
office this morning. The stalk is over
ten feet high, and bears two ears of
oorn-one measuring 16 inches and
the other IA inches. The corn was
planted June first, and is well ma
tured. The seed is of new variety,
brought by Mr.. Kibler from Allen
town, Pa, but Wood county soil,
rather than Allentown seed, deserves
the major part of the credit. Wood
county farmers can't help raising big
corn.-Sentinel.
The Sentinel Office can be excused
for their enthusiasm over Mr.. Kib-
ler's corn because those editors never
lived in Perrysburg and have never
heard of the corn raised on Garden
Island years ago, as related by a
good friend of ours, now deceased
who gave us positive proof that the
corn he raised on the Island was all
Is feet and over in height land at
each of the joints there was an ear
of corn Is inches in length and in
the tassle at the top of the stalk there
was gourd which contained peck
of shelled corn. The stalks were so
large and strong that it required the
nf oil To
them. The soil on which this corn
was raised was so fertile that when
he planted pumpkins the vines grew
so strong and fast that they dragged
the pumpkins over the field so rapid.
ly that it was necessary to "half-sole
the pumpkins to prevent holes being
worn in their sides.
And these are facts. -.

THE CAR OUTLOOK.

Railroad earnings in July were
only per cent. behind earnings in
the corresponding period of 1907,
when general trade was booming
Idle cars are decreasing steadily, and
as the wheat harvest progresses and
the corn crop becomes more and moro
promising railroads are placing or
ders for equipment, rails and struc-
tural material. Every indication
points to active operations to follow
the present midsummer dullness.
There is rot a discordant note in
the reports from the crops in the
grain belt, or from the iron and steel
markets. Advances in prices prevail
in the latter. The wheat harvest is
turning out better than was expected
and the outlook for corn and oats is
excellent. Tariff uncertainties, too,
will soon be eliminated.
The course of prices in the stock
exchanges is upward, SO much so that
it is thought to foreshadow period
of prosperity equal to that which pre-
ceded the panic. The gross earn
ings of railroads are increasing, and
the tonnage output of the Steel Cor
poration next year promises to con-
stilute a new record.

rIsE pERFlDY PERFECTED.

Th6 tariff BILL with all it's bargains
and jobbery on it's head, is now a law
1t has been signed, sealed mad de-
livered. The beneficiaries of the
transaction will be, of course, the
manufacturing trusts, for they are
the inner circle of protection and the
Republican party.
Let us see for a moment what the
consumer will get. He will get at
least dearer clothing The rates in
the wooden schedule were not de-
creased, and the duties on cotton
goods were increased. In the depths
of star chamber conference the
worsted crowd bargained with west
ern Wool-groWing interests, and the
common people are to foot the bill.
Clothing has already been advanced
in prices in anticipation of the pas
sage of the bill, and further advances
are expected in the trade, for the in
terests are securely protected by the
rates against imports.
On articles of food, as well as of
clothing, the new tariff affords to the
people no relief at all. Perhaps the
most vicious changes relate to coffee
and gloves. Under the maximum and
minimum joker coffee will be in
creased at least two cents pound,
simply because Brazil levies export
taxes, and she cannot afford to change
them. An untaxed breakfast table
therefore, disappears. The House
rates on gloves and hosiery are to be
retained. They are Littauer rates,
and the plain people will be called
upon to pay increased prices in order
to enrich a few manufacturers
The long and short of the matter is
the cost of living under the new tariff
will continue to go up. The new
tariff will prove more and more un-
satisfactory each passing year, and a
Democratic House to be elected next
year, will pave the way for the cleo
ton of a Democratic President in
1912, and a real downward revision
soon afterwards.

A GREAT WORK OF MAN.

One of the most interesting things
in recent years is the defying Of the
hurricane of last week by the city of
Galveston, Tex. Behind it's four and
a half mile sea wall, built at a cost
of $2,0G0,OO0, the city lay in safety
while the wind and waters ragged.
The New York World has this in
structive comment:
"Galveston's terribly fatal storm of
September s, 1900, lasted for five
hours, although most of the damage
which struck the Texas city at eleven
o'clock last Wednesday morning was
over so quickly that Mallory steam
ship booked to sail shortly after noon
left port on schedule time. Neverthe
less, this latest tempest was sufficient
to prove the efficiency of the towns
outer defenses as prepared after the
awful experiences Of nearly nine
years ago.
winds blowing siXty-eight miles an
hour hurled the Gulf waters with al
most incalculable force against Gal
veSton's new sea wall, but disturbed
it not. Granite, concrete and steel
supported and reinforced by the
strongest system of deeply driven
piles, there the wall stood impregna-
BILE, a protection that protected.
This fortifcation against the hur-
ricane cost 100000. Lack of it in
1900 cost $18,e0O,OOO and 5000 lives,
The comparison cannot be made in
terms of reproof, however, for the
September visitation was tempest,
so far as records and legends of the
region show, beyond precedent.
Some damage by flood followed
Wednesdays storm. There was no
loss of life within the city. Beyon
proving the sea wall, the hurricane
has justified the faith and pluck with
which the men of Galveston set out
after disaster that might have been
paralyzing, to hold their rebuilded
city against the worst of winds and
waves"
