Have Signed An Agreement Respect ing Right of Way For Phoenix
 and Buckeye Railroad.

l.. H. Long. chief engineer of the Arizona Eastern railroad. who came here Friday morning to take up the matter of right of way along Buchan- an street. for the Phoenix X Buckeye railroad. it is understood. is making good progress. IL is reported that he has met the residents along Buchanan street and secured from them q writ ten contract as to the amount of dam ages they will take and cease their objections to the franchise That amount. it is said. approXimates S6000. which is about the amount expected previous to the passing of the resolu- ton giving the company tentative franchise.
 It is also understood that the agree ment gives the railroad company ten days in which to accept or reject the terms of the citizens and that the city council insists that the money shall be paid over before any construction move is made. The railroad has 5000 for this. fund on deposit in the Valley Bank and the only question now con- cerning anybody, is whether it pro- poses to furnish the other S3O0e or will demand of the citizens generally that bonus to the amount of the diff ference shall be raised by subscrip- tiOn. The next move will have to be made by the railroad people and it is almost a certainty that the matter will be settled one way or another in very few days.

And even if there were some rough edges to the game. for be it known the Majestics made fifteen runs in inc innings. while their opponents got men across the plate but six times, everybody realized that he was fostering a home institu- ton with his presence and money, and that the Phoenix Juvenile band would be somewhat the richer in consequence
 It was a good natured crowd that occupied the grand stand and both teams found friends enough there to incite them to their best efforts. And while the game was in progress the music of the boys was sufficient to arouse spirit Of good fellowship
 A short vaudeville program was given by talent from the Majestic company immediately following the The band win benefit to the extent Of about s35.
 It is the aim of Professor Clarke. who has charge of the band, to aug ment the organization in the near fu- ture to about forty instruments. and whatever funds may be secured through benefits or otherwise. will be devoted to the purchase of needed in- struments.
