 Now that the organization of the highway is getting on it's feet, and ac- tual cash is beginning to show up in the treasury, the officers of the vari- Ous divisions are getting their mem bers together for a grand clean up of preliminary business. As regards inc Phoenix division, comes the matter of getting the road routed through this valley. It is maintained by the boost CTS that as the highway to be effec- tua1 as a stimulator of auto traffic and tours must be open the year around ; and that the only route so available necessarily must pass through the Salt River valley.

 Of $12,000.

The improvements and repairs upon the Lutfy building at the corner of East Washington street and Second have been begun under the superin- tendency of Royal w. Lescher of this city.

The stocks of the Phoenix Hardware company together with the People Dry Good store, suffered great damage to the stocks from smoke and water, while the rooming house in the second story of the building was com pletely destroyed.
 The restoration of the building is designed to put it into a much better shape than it has ever been before SC that the northeast corner of Washing ton and First streets vii have no un- slightly pile there, but rather a digni- fled two-s story business block that will improve the looks of the street at that place.

Following the entering and registering of the babies, the proud mothers were given an or der on Turnbull. the photographer, and pictures were in order.
