The girl that always wanted to be a man. is now in the city jail, dressed in pair of old overalls and an out ing shirt. She was arrested in Tempe Sunday where some discerning indi vidual discovered her sex. She jumped a bail bond of $25 over there and came to Phoenix, only to fall into the clutches of Captain Hy Mcdonald out at Five Points. He found her at the Cowboy corral smoking cigarettes and drinking the same stuff that the oth- CT cowboys did, SO he yanked her into jail again.

The board of control has advertised for bids for the furnishing of materials for the construction of the bridge over | the Gila river at Florence. on the ter | ritoriai road. Al information nsces- sary for bidders can be secured by ap- plying to J. E. Girand. territorial engineer, at his office in the capitol
 building. Bids will be opened at 2 | o'clock Friday. February 25.
 IL is the purpose of the board of control and the territorial engineer, tO push the work on the bridge as fast as possible. In fact that may be said
 of the entire territorial road project.
 J. c. Ryan, Jr., until recently engineer in maintenance Of the Gila Valley & Northern railway, has been secured to superintend the construction of the bridge and is now here to assume his duties. The board of supervisors of ! Pinal county has ordered its S5.000 for

 The territorial engineer now has
 four different crews of men at work
 on the territorial road project, or three
 beside this force at Florence. One of
 them is on the line of the Roosevelt Globe road. where cogstruction will be- gin very soon.
 Another is running the line of the proposed road from san Carlos south to Douglas and getting along nicely. The other party is working from Phoe- nix toward Yuma, being now some where west of Glendale. IL is proposed to build bridge over the Agua Fria river but what kind of bridge it will be and just where it will be located has not been determined It is desir- able to make the road as nearly straight as possible and accommodate the most people. and yet it is desir- able to utilize as much of the north and south territorial road as possi- ble. There is also need of careful in spection of the possible bridge sites of the Agus F'ri1. At present the survey ors are busy running lines to determine all these things. so the junction of the Phoenix-Yum road and the north and south road is not yet decided upon.

 Jessie submitted to being interviewed in the city jail last night about as gracefully as a bucking bronco sub mits to being busted" She said she would not talk unless she felt like it; and she would not feel like it till she had some matches, a lemon, a drink Of whisky and the little tin box marked "ViOlets: good for the breath" the policeman had taken away from her. It took the whole police force to wait on her
 After she got few of the things she wanted. Jessie began to talk a littie-a very little; cautiously, like a politician opening a campaign. In the little tin box marked ''Violets'' there was some black stuff that looked like cinders from a grate fire. Jessie said it was nothing but Yen Shee" IL is the tailings of opium after it has been smoked once and then purified for in ternal use. She begged for 1t and pleaded.

 Last December we came here from Williams. We have lot of horses and travel around some We went to Winkelman and worked hauling sand out of a hole. We have ten head of horses and some colts. The horses are up at the Cowboy corral now and we have others out at pasture like the outdoor life and the constant change.
