THE SCHOOL BONDS
AND THEIR EFFECTS

no undersigned wishes to state
as briefly as may be a few objections
to the contemplated bond issue in
school district No. 9.
i. The price for the site is too
high by half and is too far south, be-
ing four blocks south of present
building.
>. Two blocks are not required.
8. A building for high school
purposes is not required because the
present building Is adequate for the
needs of the district for years to
c.me, vita w:rd school fer TIE lower
grades.
A. Our present bonded indebted
ness inside the city limits is
$257,2S7 for all purposes to which
aGd 100000 proposed issue makes

Smith Sets 'em Up

The sale of the remaining effects of the late Andrew Johnson took place last Saturday.
 No one at the sale seemed to be in a mood for buying except D. D. (Dink) Smith, who cut loose and bought a bed, lot of bedding, a 30 30 Winchester, 6-pistol and a job lot of other things, including a barrel of old wine.
 Being burdened with so much goods and chattels, Dink generously donated the grape juice to the as- sembled multitude, and held pot latch over the bubble stuff.
 Dink denies he expects to run for office, and says that's just 8 sample of the way they "set lem up" over in eastern New Mexico where he used to live.

Putting in Telephones

The work on the Forest Service telephone line from the department headquarters here to Pine Flats. d distan nee of sixteen miles, is com pleted to Summit Springs, nine miles south.
 It is the policy of the depart ment to encourage ranchers to cut in on the line and have their own phone connection, and it is expect ed that telephone connection will be effected on the new line with the Johnson Cattle company, George Barney and c. c. Hutchinson.
 The line from Spring Valley to Allen lake, eight and half miles, has just been finished, being an ex- tension of the ten mile line from Maine built last year.
 The local office hopes to be able to secure funds next year to begin the construction of telephone lines through the Grand Canyon divis- ion of the reserve. The Santa Fe already has granted the use of it's own telegraph poles for such part of the way as will be available.
 Rural telephone lines, affording quick and easy communication, are one of the best aids to the settling up of the interior points.

Not Guilty On One Count

In letter received by one of The News staunch supporters and sub- scribers from a friend at distance to whom she sends this paper the remark is made, among other com plimentary: "The editor does not try to keep each member of his family on display every week, and the doings of the town council are kept in the dark by our paper, while The News keeps them open to the light of day"
 Needless to say, the compliment is appreciated, and We may add our subscribers probably shall never have occasion to criticise the pres ent editor of this paper for giving undue prominence to the members of his family.

 Let's close all the saloons; close up the town. and go up the hill and dig holes in it and be real cave dwellers.
 What if closing the saloons does shut off the electric lights? We can hike back to the "good old days" and use candles.
 The only inconvenience to the patrons of saloons, should they be closed in town, would be to walk a few blocks to the edge of town.
 The saloons would run just the same and the town would get NO revenue.
 Instead of having spasms over the saloons. if the same people who are behind the movement would devote their energies to regulating the redlight district, they would be doing something that would meet with general approval.
 Closing the saloons does not meet the approval of many of those who were inveigled into signing the petition. WILL B. SQUARE.

Hassayampas at Los Angeles

Of the Hassayampa club reunion at Los Angeles the Express of that city says:
 Plans now perfected for the an nual reunion and outing of the Has, sayampa club of Arizona in Los Angeles, August Is 17 IS, provide for the first formal participation of the city and chamber of commerce. in the event. It is also planned to complete the organization of society of Arizonans and New Mex jeans for the purpose of holding such a reunion and outing in Los Angeles each year.
 Fable says that those who have drunk the waters of the Hassayam- pa river, after which the organiza- tion is known, may never here after tell the truth. Not that they are confirmed prevaricators, but their imagination is so fired with the spell of the magic waters that they see things in a greatly exaggerated perspective, hence they have come to be the greatest boost CTS in the world.
