and Lowell transformer have been dumping their stable refuse there, seemingly for months. and the ditch or sewage canal has become fringed for a distance of from fifty to e hun e&-yards with a well worn roadway or street of solid manure.
 Up from this street and the muck Qusgmires Of the ditch itself a mist of house flies arises and invades the whole Warren district. On the other or near side of the manure highway" is an abandoned lot whose carpet is of the same material. while farther down the ditch three dunes of stable refuse are stacked up against the back wall of the Brophy stables.
 Flood Win Spread 1t.
 These dunes are awaiting the de scent Of the flood, which will scatter the hy-breeding muck all over the district, but will not destroy it any more than an ostrich hides itself by burying it's head in the sand
 From the big gas tank above Lowell to the dumping ground, the traveller along the territorial highway is re- galed with the composite altar Of ev. cry form of refuse and decaying mat ter. At the very first culvert of the territorial highway below Lowell, and only a few feet from the bridge at the foot of Main street, Lowell. some one has been dumping the refuse Of stable and from there to the dumping ground unsightly and unsanitary mounds of refuse are to be seen by the traveller along Arizonc's highway.
 Conditions Are Cepicrakie
 At the city dump the scene is one of indescTibable lothesomeness. On little triangular flat, bOr ierei on two sides by hills and on the other by the territorial highway, created by nature as a beauty spot. anything from a germinfested mattress to the carcass os a disease-h1lcd COW may Dc seen. Every condition favorable 10 the per petOation of flies and the propagation of germs Of disease prevails. Physicians agree that it is a wonder bordering upon the miraculous that this district has escaped an epidemic of typhoid and infantile stomach diseases.
 Many Live on Refuse.
 On the opposite fringe Of this mead ow of muck are two small shacks of rough lumber and tin cans. In these houses reside families of human vul- lures, whose sole source of income comes from digging up the jewels of refuse, such as rotten fruit. sacks, cans, etc. Until the city started burn ing the refuse, the vultures fiocked out upon the flats as soon as Q load of garbage was dumped and, digging down into the stuff. they picked ojt their daily food and things that they night sell. It is said that these Mexl- cans take the discarded sacks and re- sell them to coal dealers whe 7redis- tribute theM-together with what germs they might have gathered in contac-over the district.
 Burning the Garbage.
 A force of labOrers is at work ai tLe dump. raking up the inhammab.e portion of the refuse and burning 1t The field glitters with old tin cans. which are being regathered and load ed onto wagons and will be sold to the mining companies, which utilize them in the manufacture of copper. The refuse will be burned hereafter as it is hauled to the dump, which VII! in large measure reduce the breeding conditions for flies, but it is conceded that all measures Of this nature can De of only temporary character and that the only solution of this problem, the most important the city and com ty have confronted in years, is the construction of modern garbage dis, posal plant
