The gudSing station which has been maintained at the junction of the Verde and Salt rivers. and which has gone under the name of the Verde or Me Dowell guaging station. will he aban- doned at the end of this month after having been in continuous operation for several years.

The station for the past sev- eral years has been in charge of Vel lington RicneDs. The position was never sought after very eagerly. not on account of the labor to be perform ed but on account of the lonesomeness of the camp. Mir. Richens being the only white man within several miles.

THE PERIOD IF DROUGHT. That Has Prevailed In Tempe Recently WAS INTENSIFIED YESTERDAY By Closing of Saloons On

WAS INTENSIFIED YESTERDAY

Never until yesterday did Tempe people fully apprcciat" th" v1lu" 'f its water system. I.ik. many other things. their value iS not fully rcaiI- zed until the public is forced [" q" without them for q time. So 1t IS with the water system. Yesterday was probably the drycst day Tempe ever experienced. Not only Was the tion. the saloons were closed and the town was dry in every sense of tue word.
 IL was early Friday morning that the armaturc on the motor of the large pump burned out. Fortunately the reservoir was then full and as the sprinkler was taken off that fore noon. there was sufficient water for ordinary needs until Sunday evening At that time the reservoir ran dry and [" the hour of writing it has been dry most of the time since
 Work was started on the repairs to the motor as soon as possible after thu. accident and extra help was ,alled in from Phoenix hut the task was more difficulty one than was
 
 yesterday noon that the repairs would probably be completed some time last night. though no positive assurance of that fact could he given.
 The city som" years ago installed duplicate system "f pumps al the pump house. the second pump being : smaller machine but purpnrted to nave q greater pumping capacity. IL x a Byron Jackson centrifugal pump hut has never given sdtisfactiony There has been no occasion to use il for several years and when the time arrived the other morning and the larger pump was put out of com mission. II was discovered that the duplicate pump would work only after a fashion II Was run Sunday -veuing for couple of hours but with only partial success The mains were filled but that small amount of water Was exhausted before day light yesterday. An experienced pump man .ame over from Phoenix yesterday tu overhaul the pump and see if II could not be made tn work IL Is contended by those who are pre- sumcd to know something about pumps that the pump k all right. all it requires is proper adjustment
 But be that as it may. the fact re- mains that there was no water ycS- terday morning and the sprinkler has not been run since Friday morning In consequence Tcmpe's streets. that are usually the pride "f the town. were yesterday more dusty than they have been in years Water was at premium and several loads were brought in from the creamery and delivered to the restaurants and other places where a good deal of water K required The town ditches were filled up and kept running all day for the double purpose "f giving pro lection against fire and supplying water for domestic needs.
 Tho condition was not only a de cidcdly unpleasant but q very serious one and one which 1t is hoped will never occur again.

ANOTHER SALE OF
 DESERT LAND TRACT
It is Bringing S75 Not Far From
 {, Mesa.

Jesse F. Kelly has just disposed of a quarter section of land belonging to himself and Franklin D. Lane to R. F.. Dill. the consideration approximating $I5 per acre. This tract of land will better be remembered as the old Hen rN Stofen homestead which lies four miles east of town on the Florence road and on which the old adobe house is erected. For the past fifteen years the old adobe has stood as landmark pointed out hy travellers on the Gold field ur what has later become the Roosevelt road. For d long time the Stofcn homestead house which is q five room adobe house for travellers between this place and Superior and Florence. This spring when the Los Angeles excursion was at this place. John Mitchell. one oi the owners of the Hollrnbeck hotel of Los Angeles hunted up The Republican repreScn- atiVr to learn if the old adobe house still stood out un the Florence road. The Stnica h"m, stead has valuable water rights and has fine soil. It was purchased hy Messrs Kelly and Lane about five years ago for sSo0.
 
 sale iS that the new owner will com menCo immediately to cultivate the tract and get it int" alfalfa and grain as il was when the Highland canal Was in its palmy days.
 Another sale of equal importance Was that also of desert land wherein Jess" Kelly sold q quarter section con troll"d hv r.. j. Bennitt tu NJ r. Hnlla day aud Joe Barston. This land iS the northwest quarter of section l% being oue-half mile north of the transmits sion line and one and "ne-h half miles from the corporate limits of the city.
 The real importance of these trans actions k the exceptionally reasonable figure at which the land so close to town k selling for at the present tim" with the water in sight. The sales have both been made to young men who expect to get on {" the land and at once commence the improve ment of it.

The fact that Mesa has recently organized business mems assOcia- ton is all the more reason why a similar step should he taken here.

THE SUMMER RESIDENTS.

owners of summer cottages along the
shores Of Lake St. Catherine in the towns
of Wells and Poultney are incensed,
claiming that the listers have entered
their properties for taxation at market
value, while other real estate in the towns
is listed on a much lower basis. In the
area affected are 30 cottages and four
summer hotels. The people disturbed
have discussed plans for applying to the
legislature for a charter for a new town,
to include land one eighth of mile from
the lake shore. Such a scheme is purely
visionary and no legislature would lis
ten to it, This trouble however, might
well serve as a text for little moralz-
ing.
The summer resident is frequently
a big asset in the rural community which
is long on scenic attractions and short on
industries and farm values Instead of
welcoming the man from the city. who
seeks to establish in the country rest
ing place for himself and family, the all
the-year-rouud denizen sometimes re-
CARDS such person as legitimate prey,
especially if it is reported that he pos
sesses wealth and shows an inclination to
spend his money freely Soak him" is
the watchword, and the outsider. dis
gusted with the petty antagonisms and
eXtortions which he is compelled to meet.
sells or abandons the property which he
hoped to develop for his own pleasure,
and moves to other fields where the social
atmosphere is more congenial. The town
thus loses the income which this man
would have spent yearly If he had been
tod he
he might have encouraged to come into
the same neghborhood go elsewhere.
Frequently a large summer colony is built
up on the enthusiasm of one man for a
particular place. The summer visitor de-
serves to be met without prejudces. to
be treated courteously and to be given
square deal when he makes his purchases,
when he employs labor, and when the
appraisers put his property into the grand
list for taxable purposes.

Robert c. Bacon and ]. G. Stafford, can
didates for the Republican nomination for
representative in the legislature, have
already performed a public service in
signing an agreement not to use teams or
automobiles in bringing voters to the polls,
and not TO eXpend money except for per-
sonal expenses in going around to visit
the voters. 1t is to be hoped that the
methods in vogue locally in recent cleo
tions of sending workers out with all sorts
of conveyances, to search the by-ways
and hedges to compel the lame, the halt
and the unwilling to come in, are gone for
ever, and that hereafter a candidate for a
nomination will not feel obliged to main
tain headquarters, and to dig deep into
his jeans for hired workers, numerous
boxes of cigars and incidental expenses
which in the aggregate make up a sum
which is a financial burden. We hope
the next representative from Brattleboro
will introduce a bill making compulsory
the methods which Messrs. Bacon and
Stafford have voluntarily adopted,
