the one fence may be already so far off the line it will not have to ba moved at once, but will be at one side of the track and a new one will have to be built on the other side.
 It is the purpose of the company to attend to all this fence work at it's own expense and to do the right thing by the property owners. so that, if the grading crew pushes forward along the right -of-way and begins tearing down some good citizens fence, before he is aware of what is going on, it is re- quested that he instead of seeking a court injunction or a shot gun, hunt up Mir. Carrillo and go over the situa- ton with him in a friendly way and he will do his utmost to satisfy every body. In the meantime he will do his best to see every owner along the right of way before the construction force gets to him and have all these details attended to-in advance.
 To better explain these prospective troubles the following case is present ed as an example. Suppose the right of-way runs across a certain section on the half-section line and the company has secured a deed to a certain mum Der of feet to the north of the half section line from the owners of the northeast and the northwest quarters and a certain number of feet to the south of the half section line from the owners of the southeast and the south west quarters. If it transpires that the present line fence between the north quarters and the south quarters is not where it ought to be, due to the negligence of some one who built ii in former years. in not getting the land surveyed, or due to the incom- potency of some surveyor who was em- ployed. it will of course benecessary for the railroad company to take a larger strip off one man and a smaller one off the other than either had per haps expected. The company has no desire to secure an inch more ground than it is entitled to nor is it particu- larly concerned as to which farm the ground comes from. It's only purpose is to get a straight right of way which it has negotiated for and has the deeds to and which it has no right to take anywhere else than where the surveys show it's property to be.
 It is known to the company now that some of the cross fences do not ''line up" as it were. and heretofore the adjoining farmers have very sensibly paid little attention to the discrep- encies. not considering the loss of the use of few yards of ground as of suf- ficient importance to quarrel about, the beneficiaries of course being content to let matters stand as they were. But now that the road is going through these things will have to be straight ened out and what will be a little to the disadvantage of the man who held ground that did not belong to him, will to the same extent be to the advant- age of his neighbor who through this event will come into his own. The only desire of the railroad company now is to settle all these irritating things pleasantly with all parties, and with the least possible expense to any body
 MT. Carrillo says that the Shattuck & Edinger Construction company. which has the contract to grade the roadbed to the Hassayampa river, is now practically through the townsite as far as the iron works. Tomorrow or next day the company will have 500 head of stock on the job and an ann pie number of men to handle it. In ten days or more, or by May 20, he says. there will be employed by Shat tuck & Edinger and by the rail and tie laying force total of about 500 men, and it is proposed thereafter to build an average of a mile of railroad per day until the Hassayampa river is reached. He says also that the rails laid will .te 75-pound steel, and new steel at lhat, of the same sort used in main line construction. It is no onger secret that the Southern Pacific Is operating very harmoniously with he Spreckels road building from San Diego to Yuma Though MT Carrillo has nothing authoritative to say con- ,erning anything but the Buckeye line, and thobgh the Arizona Eastern an- no present plans beyond the to Buckeye. it Is very evil lent that it win only be a matter of short time when the line will be com pleted straight from Phoenix to san Diego via the Southern Pacific, a II now IS via the Santa Fe. straight from tf,
