HAYDEN, May, 7.-Surveyors are now out betWen the towns of Ray and Globe for the purpose of locating d feasible route for d public highway which the state proposes to construct in order that this section of Cila coun- ty may be brought into closer contact with the county seat.

The foregoing figures tell the story of the city election held yesterday more eloquently than q column of t ritten words These figures recite a story of well satisfied constitu- ,ncy, who saw no reason to dismiss two officeholders who have done such excellent work for the people during their terms of office.
 The battle was Waged only in two wards, and was quite without bitter ness. The vote is extremely light and k more a testimonial of appreciation 10 the returned councilmen than re ebuke to the defeated candidates
 The democrats concentrated their forces in the fourth ward where Joe Bush. and Alberta Lopez from the bridge guard at Tempe. and Deputy Sheriff Olea from the sheriffs office attempted to stem the tide which early set in towards the popular in cumbent of the office. and candidate for reelection.

If you wish to be strictly up to date do not speak of the big ditch we are digging across the isthmus of Panama to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans as the Panama canal. No, lh- deed Say Panama channel.
 No. it is not d distinction without difference. It is rather channel composed of lakes, locks, canal and sea approaches Colonel William C. Gorgas, U $. A. in discussing sanl- tation on the isthmus in the Journal of the American Medical association makes the distinction clear
 There is, you know. the back bone of the continent running through the isthmus of Panama. And there are two rivers, one on each side of this backbone of mountain range
 Now each of these rivers is damned and each forms a lake. These two lakes are connected by q cut through the backbone. Then there is an ap- prOach cut from the Atlantic to the dam across the northern river and an approach cut from the Pacific to the dam across the souttern river. Then there are locks to raise ships from the sea approaches to the lakes ana lower lHeill rom tue lohto C' 'i'O sea approaches.
