and the bill to allow the bonding of the
county for good roads and bridges has
again raised the question of a bridge
! across the Rio Grande at Picscho, d.
3 rectlv west of town. This bridge has
been needed for many years and the de-
velopment of the west side of the valley
on the other side of the river has been
greatly retarded because of the lsck of
bridges and roads to market the crops
grown there
The damage to the Mesquite and An
thonv bridges has also seriously inter
fered with the marketing of alfalfa from
the west side around San Miguel and
La Mesa and down as lar as La Union.
These bridges are the only means OF
communication with The railroad except
the bridge at Canutillo, and the distance
to haul from san Miguel and La Mesa
make that bridge of little value to the
farmers between here and the state line.
Judge Frank W Parker, who recently
purchased a touring car IN Santa Fe,
writes that he IS going to drive down
the valley By way OF Albuquerque and
the route OF the Canine Real and viii
arrive home the latter part Of the week.

chase a short length of fire hose to be

street daily.
The property owners along many of
the residence streets are setting out new
trees for shade this year
Now that the fruit season is coming
on, and the grower is looking for the
market for his product. til --ecessity for
a cannery is felt more keenl- than ever.
The organization of a mutual eannery
plant by the farmers and orchard men
OF this valley is being discussed.
TO Repair the Bridges.
Word comes from Canutillo that the
bridge at that place Is in a serious con
dItion from the effect of the recent high
water, and the hauling of heavy loads
over this bridge has been discontinued
for the present until tho water sub
sides to such an extent as to enable the
county to repair it.
The DOna Ana county commissioners
state that they viii begin the repair of
the Anthony and Mesquite bridges Just
as soon as the water IS low enough to
permit the men to work The Mesquite
bridge has one span entirely gone, and
the balance of the bridge - in bad shape.
