In speaking of the order that has created so much inconvenience, MT. Hanee advances many arguments for the immediate restoration of the service along the abandoned twenty-six miles of the route. In order for the residents OI Ndmp NeIue, LOWef NeIue' beaver and Clear Creeks and the plant of the Arizona Power company to reach Cornville, twenty-six miles up the Verde river to the west, mail must be carried from Camp Verde through Prescott, Jerome Junction, Jerome and thence to the above destination, 129 miles, Under this suspension order the greatest inconvenience is to those in Middle Verde. and in or der for them to reach an established postal service, east or west, personal expense must be borne in going to either Camp Verde or Cornville, either place being fourteen miles dis tant.

 MT. Hanee says the construction of the new Territorial bridge across the Verde river is progressing favor ably toward completion. Two steel spans of 100 feet each are in posi- tion, while the false work for the other span is ready. As soon as the, concrete sets the third and last span will be laid.

The project is en- thusiastieally welcomed by the peO- pie of that section, while the coming of the Territorial highway is also eagerly awaited Mir Hanee speaks in eommendable terms of the work of Engineer Ryan who is represent ing the Territory in the bridge work and has enarge of the road build ing interests in that field.

ever will likely play before Philadelphia
crowds before the season closes. They
will be members of the all-star team
which McAleer will put together to play
the Athletics in case the latter again win
the championship. The games will serve
to put the champions on edge to meet
the pennant winners of the National
League. McAleer gave the big crowd
in the afternoon a great run for their
money, and finally won the game. 1t
looked like another victory for the world S
champions until the eighth inning. when
the Nationals got UP batting rally at
MorganS expense. They tied the score
in the ninth, Walter Johnson going in as
a pinch hitter and driving in Henry by
hitting safely off the delivery of DAN
