WANTED NEW DEPOT

Now that the war is over and
the reconstruction period has be.
I gun, it would be a splendid idea
if the Arizona Eastern Railroad
Company got busy on the plans
for the new depot at Stafford
the one that has been planned
for oh! these many months!
Stafford has outgrown the pres
ent depot, a frame structure that
did fairly well during the regime
of Billy Garland. when the town
was smaller and the buildings
few and far between. That time
has passed and the new build
ings of the past few years, like
our county court house and high
school, the big warehouse of the
Gila Valley Milling Co., the new
home of the Graham County
Motor Co., and the fact that
many new residential buildings
are now being planned to be
erected in the near future, all
combined, are rapidly putting
the old antiquated structure do
ing duty as a depot into the has
been" class.
Early next month, the Mount
ain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. will rebuild it's line in
town. removing the poles from
the streets and using the cable
system, besides putting in a new
exchange at the local office,
which is now giving twenty-four
hour service for Solomonville,
Thatcher and Stafford. This new
Improvement will be up-to-date
and modern and will be one more
mark against the railroad COM
pany's tardiness of keeping up
with the improvements and in
creased business of the town.
We surely want that new de-
pot and now is the time to start
its construction.

RECLAIM FARMING LANDS

Now that the State and nation
have practically settled on plans
for providing returning soldiers
with land for farming purposes
and with the knowledge that
agriculture will be the greatest
factor in reconstruction, it would
be well to consider what should
be done in the way of reclaiming
about so, 600 acres of good land
in Graham county by irrigation.
We understand that the gov
erhment has underway a project
for reservoir at Alma. N. NJ,
at the head of the Frisco river.
If this were carried through it
. would help wonderfully if a high
line canal would be the outcome.
1t is also stated that a much bet
ter reservoir could be planned
for the Gila river above Duncan.
This is good time to get busy
on reservoir plan for the Gila
river that would provide a high
line canal and laterals that would
irrigate and bring under cultiva-
ton hundreds of acres of good
farming land from Duncan and
south of Solornonville and the
outlying lands on the foothills of
the Graham mountains and the
Artesian belt.
All any COOL plan for better
ments needs il solidarity of pur-
pose, and if the people of Gra-
ham county would get down to
real business and back up a good
reservoir plan, we might be able
to accomplish the great benefit
Of a high line canal as the result
of a big storage system in the
Gila river.

Thomas E. Campbell has been endorsed by the Liza Protectora Latina, state society of Spanish Americans at the late convention the asso- citation at Tucson. The organization is representative of the Spanish American population of Arizona and partisan that it's choice candidates is de- termined by it's opinion of their merits. It did not meet for the purpose of lending endorsement poi- tca candidates, though it indicated that other endorsements would be made but were withheld pending tho filling the republican ticket so that comparison could be made with the democratic can didates. .~
 No doubt this endorsement will carry great deal of weight with Spanish American voters, though of course there among them many voters as there are among Americans, whose party ties stronger than any organization ties.
 Formerly a majority of the Spanish American voters in most parts of the territory repub lcan ticket. That especially so in the northern counties. in this and in Pima counties But since statehood the bulk of that vote has gone to the democratic party but the last election disclosed a tendency to swing back.
