MESA
THE WEED ORDINANCE.

The council having decided to en- force the weed ordinance. the public IS beginning to enquire what the ordinance really is. It is a fact that many people pay little or no attention to the ordinances that are passed, perhaps reading them carclcSsly when published and then forgetting all about them within the next hour. In order that all may know what the ordinance calls for. the following sec tions, referring especially to the weeds. are here reproduced.
 Section 2. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, owning, leasing. occupying or con- trolling any alley, lot, or lots or side walks in the town of Mesa City, to allow or maintain in or upon any such alley, lot or lots pr sidewalk any growth of weeds to a height of over one foot
 "Section 3. The word weeds" as used herein, shall be held to in- cludc all rank vegetable growth which eXhales unpleasant and obnoxious odors, and also high and rank vcgc- table growth that may harbor and conceal filthy deposits and matter detrimental to health"
 Section 1 provides that the health officer shall make frequent inspec- tions and may order any objectionable weeds or other matter removed with in forty eight hours. If not removed in that time he shall notify the mar shal, who will see to the removal. and the expense will be taxed against the property and collected by law as are all other taxes.
 The ordinance went into effect on February 10th of this year. and the council has become tired of waiting for the people to clean up and now proposes to take the cleaning in hand and see that it is done or know the reason why.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK,

It is quite probable that Mesa will soon have a postal savings bank, and thus bc in equal standing with other towns of the territory who are SD provided. Postmaster Newell is just in receipt of a blank to be filled out and returned, asking for the gross re- ceipts of the Mesa office. the amount of international money order business done here annually. the per cent of fOreign-born population, number of banks, savings banks, and several other questions for the information of the department which attends to es- tabishing postal savings banks. EX- cept for the Mexican population. there is d very small per cent of the residents of this section foreign born, and they have generally resided so long in the United States that they are American in everything but birth. Practically every state in the union is represented in Mesa's population; and the foeign-born are Germans, English, Canadians, Scandnavians, Scotch. Irish. Welsh. and q few scat tering.

Recently the men of the party engaged in a rather extended hunt in the Matazal noun tains and it was while on this hunt that Joe Birchctt came in contact with a good sized black bear. To the credit of NIT. B.rchett it can be said that when the fracas was over the bear was a dead one. It was packed into camp with a great dis  play of satisfaction on the part of tho hunters. particularly on MT. Birchctts part and the incident was regarded as of such importance that a dance was decided upon to fittinGly cele- brate the occasion. The dance took place at the Forest Rangers home and was a very successful and pleas ant affair according to MT. Pickrelrs report It is said that this is the first bear killed in that vicinity in some time and the dance marked the first social function of it's kind in Sun Flower
 During the summer MT. Pickrcll also saw Professor Hall and wife. They are now working homcward and like the others who have been away all summer will arrive here some time during the early part of September.

THE PAINTED DESERT

The painted desert before me lies,
With it's shades of green, and gray
and blue,
Its splashes of russell and splotches
of red,
And framing it all the hills purple
hue.
It's carpet of emerald, dotted thick,
With the blue and grey, of sage
brush hoar,
It's beds of shale streak the hill sides
bare,
And purple mists hang where the
skies droop DER.
The heat waves dance in dizzy whilrs

er it was not deemed practicable
to obtain the water necessary to sup
ply the engines and the camp from
this source. Accordingly a water
tank was erected on the south side
of the river with steam pipes leading
into it to keep it from freezing. This
tank was kept supplied by a loco
motive which brought the water from
mile LAG. Two Pinch pipes for
water and compressed air with
live" steam pipe on each side of
them, were packed with hay in a
12-inch box, which was swung UNI
der suspension foot bridge over the
gorge, for supplying water and COM
pressed air for the north side of the
river. Provision was also made for
blowing steam through the 2-inch
pipe as soon as supply of water
had been pumped across the river.
Even with these precautions. great
deal of delay was caused by the water
and air pipes freezing when the cold
weather came. The temperature
during the erection of this bridge
ranged from 80 degrees above zero
to 81 degrees below zero, Farenheit,
the cold weather beginning the latter
part of November. The camp and
overhead travellers were erected and

erection continued. From this time
the same shift of men worked con-
tinuously on the erection until mid
night of the 18th when this span
was connected and swung, and the
traveller was moved over pier three
onto the falsework of span four.
By the middle of the forenoon of
the 18th the upstream side of the
falsework had moved down stream
until it was directly beneath the
downstream truss of span three and
a large portion of it had collapsed.

crowded ashore large areas of the

The ice in the river broke up on
May 23rd. Childs glacier immedi-
ately became very active and in a
few weeks had broken back from the
river until the face of the glacier
was in the approximate position it
had occupied for the last three years
and the river channel was free once
more.
Span four falsework was COM
pleted, pony bents were erected on
it, track lain across and daily
trains were operated over the bridge
beginning with June LIST.
The erection of span four was COM
menced June 10th and completed on
June 10Th without any noteworthy
incidents.
All four spans were covered with

forming on the surface of this water.
This together with snow slides. heavy
snowfall and scarcity of fuel on the
north side of the Copper river and
the necessity of preference being
given food supplies for the front, pre-
vented us from getting the cement to
Tiekel until the middle of April, 1910
when the ice in the river had be-
come unsafe to team over.
After the ice was our Vi the river,
the cement was shipped by steamer
to mile 1873, near the mouth of the
Chitina river. From this point a
wagon road had been constructed for
delivering supplies as far as Kusku-
lana and the cement was hauled by
team to the bridge site, distance
of sixteen miles. The cement de-
livered at the bridge site cost the
company 5000 per barrel. The
first of April, 1910, Assistant Engi-
neer J. w. Coovert with party of
men left Miles Glacier camp for Kus-
kulana. The train on which they
started was delayed by ice over the
rails, where the track had been left
low, and by the rotary snow pillow
breaking down, so they left the train
about mile 70, and using snow shoes
pulled their tents and engineering
equipment on hand sleds to Kusku-
