GOOD NEWS RECEIVED
 REGARDING i PENSION
Delegate Cameron Makes a Tempe
 Resident Happy.

Miss Winnie Alexander received a telegram yesterday afternoon from Delegate Cameron that was the source of a great deal of satisfaction to her.
 Some time ago she made applica- tion for a pension. basing this upon her fathers service in the civil war and her present condition of health. The application was accompanied by petition liberally signed by Tempe people. MT. Cameron gave the mat ter his prompt attention. but found that it would be impossible to secure the desired pension. He found. how ever that way out of the difficulty in this manner: Miss Alexander's mother at present draws small pen sion and NIT. Cameron thought that this might be doubled. the increase to go to the daughter.
 The telegram yesterday was to the effect that the application had passed through the committee on pensions. that body reporting favorably. He added there was little doubt but that it would pass the house in good shape.

STARTING rhE netArives WEST


 David Wallace, who lives near Mesa, was pleased several days ago to ex- tend hearty welcome to Mir Thomas Fisher and Mir. and Mrs. George Hud- son. all of Wilmington. Ohio. and rel atives of Mir. Wallace by marriage. They have come here with the idea that they were leaving mighty good country in search of a better one, and they believe it lies in this valley. To which Mir Wallace subscribes land says. Amen. He believes. as matter of fact, that the hegira of Wallace relatives and friends from Ohio to Ari- zona has barely commenced. The idea of a wholesale emigration did not en- ter his mind till last fall when he went back to his old home in Wilmington after an absence of forty years. Nat urally enough during that time he had become a little hazy as to the precise number of his kinfolk. But his sur prise was none the less great when a reunion Of the family disclosed 135 relatives. Most of these. he thinks. and probably many of their friends and neighbors. will soon be trans planted to Arizona soil. Mir. Wallace believes firmly in the virtue of person al advertising. holding that one man who has lived and prospered in the country can do more to start his for mer neishbors westward by paying them a visit than all the literature that can be loaded on a train.

OTHER BRIDGES WILL
 :. SOON BE CONSTRUCTED
To Make the HisIey Country Easy of
 Access.

Not only will three bridges be built across the Consolidated canal, follow ing the recent visit to Mesa of the board of supervisors and Engineer H. g. Reed of the reclamation service. but substantial bridges will also be built across all laterals on the transmission line. The transmission line lies along a county road and the idea of the rec lamation service. according to advices received in Mesa yesterday from En- gineer Reed, is to build these lateral bridges so that traffic can take the county road and have easy. access to the other bridges crossing the main canal. The exact location of the bridges to be built across the Consol- dated canal is herewith definitely pre- sented for the first time.
 First, south of John Anderson's place on the east and west section line one mile below the base line. A bridge already crosses the Eastern ca nal on this same cast and west road.
 Second. at the head of the frmie lateral. which is on the north line of Mir. Stratton's place in section s4. There is bridge crossing the East ern canal on the section line one mile south. below the railroad grade.
 Third. on the north and south sec tiop line where the transmission line crosses the Consolidated canal A bridge crosses the Eastern canal on the correspoding east and west line.
 The bridges at the Imrie lateral and at the place where the transmission line crosses the Consolidated canal are in at the present time. but are in such diIapidated condition that travel has left the bridges and taken to the ca- nals, condition which the reclamation service desires to change. It is the in tention of the service to make a per manent, we'll defined and convenient road to the section southeast of Mesa. in and about Higley station. and the Queen Creek country.
