POSTMASTER NEWELL
 HAS FINGERS CROSSED
A Grave Responsibility Has Been I'm
 posed Upon Him.

Postmaster Newell for the past fir teen or twenty years has been piled with questions from people in the east ranging all the way from Why Is a Gila monster?" to Gan q white person live in the Salt river valley" Yester- day. however, he received missive very finely written on delicate shade of pink stationery. in fact the words were so finely written that the real in tentions of the writer were hard to in terpret. The postmaster as he labored over the perfumed bit of paper for some time took his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his glasses. and then he used the same handkerchief to mop his forehead. which had been gradually growing higher and higher in trying to make out words and ad- dresses that the writer thereof evident ly could not have read.
 The letter was from a love sick miss some place in the East. She was sure that she was in love with a man living in Mesa, and she wanted the post master to tell her whether she should marry him ar not She was willing to risk the judgment of the postmaster. I i' 'IiN tuiilS Silt NdS pdIllCllldI about was in hearing his version and incidentally a little of her swectheart's past history before she whispered yes on another sheet of her pink stationery and sent it hurrying out to the great wild and wooley west.
 No sooner had the first letter been perused than a second was opened. It was evidently from the sister of the love sick girl. She likewise stated that her sister was going to marry a Nor mon living in Mesa and she wanted to know if he had dozen wives. She said that he had told them that he had no wife. and that furthermore it was against the law to have more than one wife. but the entreaties of the young man had certainly been misconstrued or rather were not believed. Five years" the letter said. 'I have been getting letters from him and he is as true to me as the day is long, but l would like to know who he is before 1 marry him"
 I've been asked a good many ques- tions," said the weary postmaster. about the country, but I never had anything exactly like this. I don't know the man who is causing all these letters, but even if did I've got my fingers crossed on a proposition of that kind. I'll have to be excused"
 Then the postmaster took a chew from d large-like plug and walked to the window to sell 2-cent stamp.

RIVER
 ID BE TAPPED For Queen Creek and Hig- ley HoInesteaders AN IRRIGATION PROJECT For Which the Gila Valley
 Irrigating Company Has
 Just Been Formed-Wa-
 ter to Be Procured From
 Hale's, Near River Bed.
AN IRRIGATION PROJECT

The incorporation of the Gila Valley Irrigating company has just been com pleted by number of homesteaders in the vicinity of Queen Creek and Hig- ley and will have for it's object the boring of wells in the bed of the Gila river. or rather in the low lands near the river bed itself and the flowing of the waters out over the land for irriga tion purposes.
 The land in question which it is pro- posed to irrigate lies south of the river and is approximately eighteen miles to the west of Florence and possibly the same distance to the south of Hig- ley. all in Pinal county.
 In order to describe the motive for the incorporation it will be necessary to go back a few months and recount some recent history. The Queen Creek and Higley sections. for the most part have been settled within the past five years. That is Queen Creek was sparsely settled four years ago, while the Higley lands have been taken up much more recently. The great ma jority of the recent homestead entries have been made by parties from Cali fornia. They have come from a sec tion where water is pumped from depth of two and three hundred feet. and at a profit. They have maintained and do yet that they can pump water for citrous fruits and make it pay. However they have also realized that if they can get location where water can be found much nearer the surface hat ha l,r, and original cost is one of the things that homesteader must count.
 It was determined that there was a narrow strip of land in Pinal county on the south side of the Gila that could be irrigated from wells. The land is level and can be irrigated easily. It has been taken up by desert land en- try and already there is a considerable movement by the Higley and Queen Creek residents to improve it.
 It should not be construed by the foregoing that it is the intention of the new settlers to build dam across the river or to in any way take the ap- propriated waters of that stream. They have plan which calls for the use of the water which flows outside Of the regular channel and it will require the boring of wells in order to tap the vein The proposition is one that has had the attention of the people in desert to the southeast of Mesa for the past several months. It is understood that enough money can be secured to finance the proposition in the event that the project is proven satisfactory upon d thorough investigation.

THE BAD PRACTICE OF WASTING CITY WATER TT IS TO BE STOPPED AT ONCE. Wstor Users Are Careless in the Use of Water, and Must be More
 Economical.

Marshal Brown requests that the at tention of the water users of Tempe water system, be called to the fact that number of them are either vii full or unintentional violators of the ordinance governing the water depart ment of the town. Many water users have formed the habit of irriCating their wards with hydrant water when the ditch runs are far apart and of sprinkling at any and all hours Both of these habits are direct violations of the ordinance and are frowned upon by the city authorities In many in stances. perhaps. these violations are do to the fact that the public is un- aware of the conditions of the ordi- nance and for that reason several of the ordinances are given herewith:
