G|LA' P0URS
 AROUND BOTH
 BRIDGE ENDS
Savage Flood Eating at the Supports of State High way Structure-Passen. gers MaroOned at Station. Washouts Numerous

Communication between Florence and the Arizona Eastern station is cut off, according to Benton Dick. local attorney, who returned from the Pinal county seat yesterday. The state highway bridge is holding, but may be endangered by the Gila flood, if debris collects on the upstream side. The foot bridge across the chan mel nearest the railway station was sacrificed yesterday before many of the passengers could get across to take the afternoon train to the cap ital.
 There are three channels to the Gila right at the point where the highway crosses it. One is held by the fill which constitutes the town side approach to the bridge, but owing to the rains this fill has soft ened so that it may not last.
 Scores of people are being incon- Venienced by the fact that the road is impossible now even to pedes- trians. There has been no attempt on the part of the authorities at Florence to warn people away from the dangerous crossing. and, as a result, many are compelled to remain at the station between trains-a long wait-without food or even water
 Sort of an Ancient Mariner sit uation,' said Dick. There is water. water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink l never saw so much water in all my life, except in some big river. The current is dangerous, and the man who carried the rope across, in order to establish d temporary foot bridge nealy lost his life. That tenn porary structure. of hog-wire and slats, sagged into the stream, SC that it had to be cut loose"
 Dicks experience in getting across the river was thrilling. He could find no cowpuncher who would risk his horse, carrying double. in the rag ing torrent Dick is rather hefty, but he finally managed to get big raw-boned animal. secured cowboy to lead il, crawled aboard the crazy saddle, and succeeded in getting across and very wet His baggage remained on the Florence side of the river.
 Old Times Recalled
 The flanking at both ends of the new state bridge at Florence by the angry Giia reminds old timers that once there was q wooden bridge

there that promised to become the longest structure of the kind in the world That championship would have been achieved if they had not run out of lumber. When the bridge was constructed. it was made long enough to fit the river. But when a flood came and cut around one end of the bridge and gave evidence of permanency of channel, anoth- CT span was built to accommodate it. Thus flood after flood made d new span necessary at one end or the other until the bridge had stretched across a considerable part of Pinal county.
 It looked for time as if the counties of Pima and Maricopa would be called upon to help support this thriving and growing bridge But before it extended beyond the bound aries of Pinal, other floods came and washed out the new spans at either end and finally took all the struc- ture away except the middle span. which stood there for years. a mon- ument to failure of man to bridge the universe.

DO NOT FORGET THE

Don't forget the Florence Crit tenton home" said womans voice over The Republicans phone last night
 Now that everybody is getting ready to enjoy Christmas, and the season of good will on earth is at hand, it would be very well to think of the poor girls who are kept at the correction home. They will have little enough of Christmas cheer. What few things the authorities can do, will be done for them. The directors will see that some sort of a Christmas is held there but the funds are awfully low.
 Tell the people who are dis pensing Christmas cheer not to forget the Crittenton home.'

MRS. SHEA FRIGHTENS
 BURGLARS AWAY

The timely appearance of Mrs. John A. Shea, upon a veranda overlooking the rear entrance to Shea's hotel, S46 Main St., Sunday night frustrated the attempt of two burglars to gain an entrance. The glass of the rear door, Wpening within a. few feet of the safe containing the Memorial day and Sat urday night receipts, was cut out with a diamond tipped cutter. The men were ready to enter when Mrs. Shea appeared and discovered their forms hiding in the shadows. Realizing that they were seen, they made a, nasty retreat into Union street towards the water front.
 It is believed that the men are the same as did successful s'jobs'' on the safes at the stores of Birnbaum Bros. and Logan Bros.

Amendments Providing for Increasing Maximum Now
 Being Initiated.

Petitions to initiate an amendment to the constitution of Arkansas having for it's purpose the granting of au- thority to voters of school district to vote a tax of 12 mills for school purposes are being circulated in Pine Bluff. One of the petitions is on a desk in Sheriff Williams office, where these who favor permitting the people to increase the taxation for school purposes may sign.
 Tn advocating the proposed amend ment. State Superintendent George D. Cook says:
 "This amendment does not increase taxes. It merely gives the voters more constitutional liberty. It affords the voters in school districts where increased funds are needed to builc a new school house or take up a deficit, the opportunity of voting a tax suffi- cient to put their local school on A business, cash basis.
 "Times may be hard and cotton prices low just now, but We are un- der the same obligation as ever 70 give our boys and girls free schools: This amendment will not be voted up- on until 1916, when our present crisis will have passed"
