A FINE HEAD OF
 FLOODED LIVE STOCK
Another Bunch of Jerseys and Hol- steins Brought to the Mesa Sec
 ton by J. Frank Sanders.

Readers of The Republican will re- member the success J. Frank Sanders had throughout a number of the mid dle western states last year. His herd carried off many of the prizes at coun- ty anu state fairs and the advertising given the valley was one of the best it ever received. MT. Sanders is still in the business and has only recently returned from the east with three car loads of blooded stock. MT Sanders aim Is to improve the dairy breed of cattle in this section. He realizes that the COW and the alfalfa-especially Mesa alfalfa-form a combination that butter is now famous and the better the dairy stock that produces this but ter, the greater will be the demand for it.
 One ear of the cattle consisted of registered stock only being Jersey and HOlsteins. There is a two year old Jersey bull, a two year old Hol- stein and two bull calves, besides the cows and heifers. There are altogether ninety-two head in the shipment and all are healthy animals. though all are not thOroughbreds.
 Jesse Kelly gets the Jerseys and several other ranchmen will have some of the cows and calves of Holstein bred, the remainder will add to the Sanders herd.

TEMPE
NEW CITY COUNCIL
 TAXES UP DUTIES
Only Two Members of the Old Of- ficial Body Are Left on
 the Job.

Beginning about nine o'clock Thursday night Tempe is now gov erned by an entirely new set of off cials with the exception of two men. The new council stands as follows: J. T. Birchett, Frank FOgal, A. Neil sen, Halbert Miller and T. J. Good win. The latter is also a member of the last term council. M. C. Brown ing is the new city marshall and su- perViSOr of streets. Curt w. Miller retains his position of town clerk which he has held for some years past.
 The retiring councilmen are Mons E. Ellingsen, Dr. J. A. Dimes who was mayor. M. E. Curry and w. LulIin. The retiring marshal and su- pervisor of streets is Samuel Brown.
 The regular monthly meeting of the town council was called last Thurs day evening, all members being pres ent but Mons E. Ellingsen, who is now in San Bernardino. Cal, on busi- ness. After looking over all business and auditing all bills the affairs of the city were turned over to the aforementioned new council.
 The first thing the new members did was to elect a mayor to act as chairman. AS nearly everybody thought previous to their voting, J. T. Birchett was the chosen man, he having received the highest number of votes of any man running in the election three weeks ago. They did not elect him, though, just because he received those votes, but because, when taking all things into consider ation, they believed him to be more able to handle the affairs dependent upon that office
 After actually settling down to business a good deal of work was ac- complished when one remembers that it was their first hour of work along that line. There is no doubt but what they will work with the board of trade in some matters. A case that the board brought up at a meeting held some months ago and referred to the council for enforcement was cared for Thursday night. That was, to clear the streets of all obstacles which prevented free travel there upon. The marshal was instructed to see that the blacksmith shop pro- prietors moved all vehicles and other obstacles clear of the street. They also instructed the marshal to see that the bumps which are caused by the new cross walks on Mill avenue and other highways within the city limits, are properly cared for and done away with, in order that one in an auto, for instance, does not have to slow up at every block to cross a bad border The water wagon feed pipe which now stands in front of Birchett Bros store, and is the only one on Mill avenue, is going to be moved shortly to a side street, where the wagon will not hinder traffic while it is loading up. A few other matters were brought up before the meeting, but no definite action was taken.
 It now remains for the citizens of Tempe to join with the new council and work for the good of all. for it is certain that neither can accomplish much without the. aid of the other.

THRESHER STARTED

The Kyrene thresher which has so far this year been lying idle started to work Thursday morning on the John Saylor ranch south of town. Although the machine started rather late in the season there is no doubt but what it will receive plenty of work There appears to be more grain in the local district this year than there ever was before and q large part of it remains unthreshed. There are eight or ten machines at work in this vicinity at the present time but even then they are unable to keep up with the cutting which has to be done whenever the grain becomes ripe.
