HECE NEW POSTOFF|CE PROPOSED IN FINAL CO,

FLORENCE, Jan. 30.-Hese is the name of new postoffice that has been
 applied for in Pinal county. This new
 postoffice, if allowed. will be located
 on the farm of MT. Hege, two miles
 west Of Picacho reservoir, on section
 Zs-6-6. Application for rural route
 out of Florence is also being made
 This route will be about 30 miles long
 and will bring the mail to the door of
 nearly every farm within 15 miles Of
 Florence, west and southwest Just
 what effect the creation of a new
 postoffice at Hege ranch would have
 on the rural route is problematic.
 However, since the rural route would
 cover practically all the territory be-
 tween Florence and the proposed To-
 cation or the new postoffice. it would
 seem that the rural route would be
 more advantageous to the farmers
 than the establishment of the postof- nee. The route has not been definiteiy
 lad out as yet and until that has been done 1t will not be known just how far
 IL will extend toward the site of the proposed postoffice. The rural route will be of great benefit to the farming community, as it will bring mail to the farmers, door every day except Sun- day, which will prove great conven- fence.
 T. A. Nicholas recently received a carload of Hereford white face bulls from a Kansas grower of thorough pred stock, and on Monday of this week these bulls were distributed to the several ranges owned by Mir. Nicholas. There were 3S animals in the lot and they arrived in splendid condition. MT. Nicholas is a strong believer in thoroughbred stock and for several years past he has been build ing up his herd through the introduc- tion of new blood but this season he has outdone all previous efforts and has purchased better grade of stock than ever before.

 Last Sunday night the Florence | hotel had a narrow escape from de- | struction by fire when in some unac- | ;ountable manner the heating appa- ratus under the back porch caught | fire. Luckily Mayor Heating. the hotel lessee, had not retired and about -1:30 he stepped out onto the back porch just in time to see the first burst 'f blaze from the heater room small lffair about six feet square. He im- nediately gave the alarm and within ! very few minutes the chemical was ,n the ground and the fire extin- suished before any material damage vas done In the meantime the hotel 1 suests were aroused and were ready o vacate the building with little de- ay. Much credit for the prompt ar ival of the chemicab is due to R. L. 3ollin and two or three others who were near by to answer the call of fire dr. Bollin was reading in the office of 'lemans Brothers when he heard the larm, and. as the chemical was stored n a shed immediately at the rear Of '1emans Brothers office, he soon had he machine out and on the way to he fire. The great wonder is that l
