Ancient Town to Be Depopu-

The ancient town of Tubac, in
Santa Cruz county, may be depop-
u1ated as the result of ejectment
proceedings filed in the federal
court at Tucson by the heirs of the
land comprised in Baca Float No.
3, an old Spanish grant. There
are some eighty odd people living
upon the land claimed who will
have to move if the suit is success
full. Tubac was at one time large
and fourishing town, the capital
city of the Mexican State of Sonora,
before the Gadsden Purchase trans
ferred its sovereignty to the Amer
ican government, which occurred
subsequent to the cession of the
land in Arizona northSof the ella
river. Tubac is but a memory of
it's former greatness, the once pros
porous town being composed of a
few scattered DOLBY buildings, with
little sign of active business life.

Signboard Needed
PoMERENE, Dec. 18th, 1916.

POMERENE, Dec. 18th, 1916.
Editor Signal:
1t seems that some of the citizens
of Benson who are interested in
road affairs should put up a sign
at the Etz corner, where the road
turns north to Pomerene.
This sign should point out the
road to Dragon and points east.
Almost daily some stranger who
doesn't know the road turns out
on our road, thinking it is the road
he should take, his car goes wh1rl-
ing past my place, and IN a few
minutes it goes back again, after
being informed by some one that
he is on the wrong road. We are
pleased to have strangers see our
farming district, but we would pre-
fer them seeing it in some other
manner, and not by being on the
wrong road. It would be very
little expense to put up a sign of
this kind, and it would save many
a traveller some valuable time.
Yours truly,
M. POWELL COSBY.
