 flict in MaIlard Seasons

A party of local sportsmen return ed from Frog Tanks yesterday. hay ing been camped there for the past two weeks, the principal sport being quail shooting, which they report as being first-class in that section.
 December being very rainy made quail hard to find, but the local hunters have been making up for lost time the last two weeks. The season on quail and doves will close as usual February first.
 Quite a large number of Phoenix sportsmen are planning a big duck hunt at the Florence reservoir today It has been several weeks since any Phoenix hunters have been there. The ducks have not been lonely. however, as the Florence people are learning how to shoot. and get out every week.
 More ducks are reported at Roose- welt this winter than ever before. Shooting in this valley has not been up to standard Some fair bags of nice ducks have been killed the past week on the river and sloughs. Feb- ruary is usually the best month for mallards and other big ducks. The federal season closes February 1st. and the state season April 1st. They say it is the federal law that will be enforced.

Have you seen the fine needle work, the rolled ruffle, thy buried stitches. the excellent work manship, the perfection of which is proof positive that real fine sewing has become a lost art.
 Have you seen the tiny gold ring from which hung a little gold chain with a clasp attached that held q little lady's wedding handkerchief. a filmy, elusive piece of real lace that cost a small fortune?
 Well, these relics of far away years come to light when the Washington Woman's club held an out-of-date so- cial in the neighborhood auditorium at the school house.

4 NEW BRIDGE
 F0R THE G|[A
Bill for New Structure Near Sacaton Reported by the House Committee J. Lewis Weeds - Chandler News Notes
Special to The Republican, )

CHANDLER, Jan. 21.-Residents of the Chandler district will be glad to hear that there is chance for a wagon bridge across the Gila near SacatOn. Irrigation Superintendent Oldberg wrote Supt. Frank Thackery of the reservation that bill making an appropriation for the same had been favorably acted on by the house committee and that there was good chance of it passing. The cOntem- plated bridge is to be combined with a diversion dam that will take water from the Gila river and put it into the San Tan canal, which irrigates land for the Indians on the reserva- ton. The site of the proposed dam and bridge is about two miles up the Gila river from Sacaton
 The need of the bridge as well as the dam is every day more and more apparent. For much of the time all winter the Gila has been unfordable. On Monday a horse was drowned in trying to cross and on Tuesday q party consisting of J. F. Fleming, Rev w. J. Sims and son of Phoenix, and w. H. Robinson of Chandler were stuck in mid-stream for something over an hour while the rippling water of the stream ran merrily over the bottom of the wagon to the depth of about foot.

SOME FACTS
 ABOUT GUARD

Phoenix is a detached post so to speak, it's commandant is the major of the First Battalion and one of the most efficient officers in the regi- ment The post comprises two com panies and the band, the companies are A and B.
 Company A, the larger and older of the two has two officers, Capt. C. V. Gulley and First Lieut.. Claude Shamhart, both very efficient off cers. Company A drills every We'd nesday evening and it's drill is very interesting.
 Company B, the youngest company in the regiment, bids fair to be the snappiest and trimmest of all the twelve. The old Company B mem bership was recently transferred to Company A and a new and very ex- elusive Company B organized Three officers were elected to this company, Capt. Stanley Williamson, First Lieut. Harry Hatcher, Second Lieut.. Ed Helsley The members of this company are all young men of the same class so to speak. Company B drills every Monday evening.
 The band is one of the best bands
 in the state and one Phoenix and Arizona can well be proud of. It
 is commanded by the post adjutant Redewill, an efficient band leader The band drills every Tuesday eve ming.
 The three organizations are guar tered at the Armory, First and Polk streets, and extend an invitation to A gallery over the drill floor has been provided for the use of the public and is intended for such use as long as order is maintained. Every mem Der of the three organizations are re- quired to be present for drill at least once every week unless excused or account of their business or sickness Failure to attend without such ex. cuse is promptly punished by delin- quency court, the sentence is some. times a reprimand. or a small fine sometimes reduction to the ranks il case the delinquent is non com 1 missioned officer. A fragrant offender l is sometimes put in jail failure tt pay an imposed fine means a jai sentence.
 A well, drilled and disciplined na ! tional guardsman is a clean, upright
 capable and respectable man. A noisy
 rowdy disrespectable fellow wh, 1 claims to be a national guardsman il
 so only on paper. He was enlisted
 and probably never received the dril

 essentials of a national guard educa 1 tion.
