To BUILD EXTENSION
OPENING SAN CARLOS
BRIDGE TO TRAFFIC

Arizonas famous San Carlos bridge
across the ella, that goes nowhere
and is known as the bridge without
a. river viii be relieved of its en-
barrassment during the next few
months, according TO an announcement
by State Engineer Thomas Maddox.
The engineer has issued a cali for bids
on the project.
The poor bridge, which has stood
in a state of innocuous desuetude for
the last seven years, is on the state
highway entering the state at Frank
lin. This highway traverses the coun-
try to Yuma by way of Clifton, SAT-
ford. Globe. Miami, Superior and
Phoenix.
Originally, this bridge to nowhere"
spanned the ella near San Carlos, but
a flood occurred some years ago which
shifted the river-bed to the south
ward, leaving the bridge high and dry,
and with about 500 feet of river be-
tween the stranded end and the shore.
Repeated efforts We're made by ella
and Graham counties and the state
highway department to have the
United States Indian department ex-
tend the bridge to the present bank.
and congress once appropriated ST.
600 for the work. but the Indian de-
partment allowed the appropriation 10
lapse. The 1919 legislature appro-
priated funds for completing the
bridge, and the highway board has
been making unavailing efforts TO Sc
cure federal aid or an Indian depart
ment appropriation to meet part of
the expense. The crossing is so inn
portant. the state engineer says, that
no more time viii be lost in waiting
for outside help.
The extension will be a combination
wood and steel affair that can be dis
mantled and used elsewhere at small
expense If necessary. Some occasion
for moving the extension and ADAM
doning the present bridge structure is
contemplated in the governments

ADD NEW EQUIPMENT
To CITY FIRE DEPT.

Practically a complete fire depart
ment mounted on one especially con
structed chassis will soon be. added TO
the equipment of the central fire sta
ton. The fire fighting outfit is known
as a triple combination car and carries
enough paraphernalia to successfully
combat any fire of average proper
tons.
An old squad wagon as formed the
foundation for the triple combination
car. The converted apparatus viii
carry a $50 gallon pump, a motor and
1850 feet of hose. The motor will be
used in forcing pressure through the
extra length of hose. Other equipment
which will be carried on the improved
fire fighting machine will include DO
gallons of chemicals. two ladders, wire
and tin cutters, first aid kit, six smoke
helmets, pul:notor and axes.

ably be ready for service within the

RENEWAL Of BRANDS

much concern to Secretary Stephens of
the livestock sanitary board, and he
proposes at the next meeting of the
board to call upon the attorney gem
eral for an opinion providing a means
for refurnishing the brands Cancelled
by the state, wherever it can be shown
that the owners are to blame only in
that they neglected to read the papers.
The recent re-registrati ton of brands
was ordered for the purpose of clear
ing the records. Thousands of regis
tered brands have been out of Use for
years, and December II was set as the
final day for registration. News 10
that effect was carried almost daily in
The Republican, and notices were car
ried in the country press and various
other eXpedients were resorted TO in
the effort to locate everyone. concerned.
Once cancelled, Stephens says the
brands, on a new registry basis sub
cept by some provision of lew not yet
discovered.
1t was supposed, he said, that every
one concerned in the registration had
been reached when the time limit eX-
pired, but since that date hundreds of
letters have come from brand owners
who claim that they were in the noun
tatns and away from all sources of
news at the time notices were sent
out. Stephens hopes to find a way
for supplying them with their former
brands, o ma new registry basis sub

says the aid of the attorney general
must be invoked and further that ne

were made in due time and in regular

Stephens says the letters are fully and
courteously answered in every instance,
and that the time of three clerks is
required for that purpose alone. II
the letters were less frequent. he said,
he could mail the brand certificates at
an earlier date. one occasion for de-

TEACH CITIZENSHIP
TO ALIENS IN STATE

In common with other states, Arizona
has responded to the request of the
federal bureau of naturalization that
each locality offer short courses of
training for citizenship to applicants
for naturalization. Text books for the
work are issued by the government,
and by several of the states as well,
and the public school systems are
used for the training.
A number of these classes for nat
uraIization and citizenship seekers are
now functioning in Arizona, and three
have already been graduated, at Bis
bee, Douglas and Tucson. New classes
are being formed at Prescott, Jerome
and Globe. in addition, and others will
later begin operations in Phoenix
Clifton, Morenci and Miami. Each
class continues for about one-half a
school year.
AS the citizens be complete their
work in the classes they receive

Testimony was introduced show

But before he had carried out the
nuptial ceremony. his tickle fancy
had been attracted to another Wo-

Tilted woman and Simona, the last

appeared in court.
The woman whose marriage cere-
