SACATON CROSSING
IS DISCOVER
AS SUMMER RESORT

TEMPE, June 25.-Mr. and Mrs. D.
Hunter and family, living east of the
creamery on the Mesa road, are en-
thusiastic over another Arizona sum-
mer resort discovered while on an
outing trip Sunday. The celebrated
resort is no other than the famous
Sacaton crossing on the Pima Indian
reservation. The party who enjoyed
this trip declare that they would not
want a better swimming place nor
better shade for a picnic dinner than
they found on this old government
station.
The Hunters were accompanied on
this trip by the following friends:
Mr.. and Mrs. Ruff, Mart Ruff, Mr..
Loomis, Miss Alberta Anderson. Allen
Peterson, all of Phoenix, and Miss
Edith Stringer of Sacaton.
A big picnic dinner, including ice
cream, was enjoyed by the party.
Church Attendance Affected
All pastors report reduced atten-
dance Sunday at all the services and
give the smallpox scare as the chief
reason. They also admit that wealth
er conditions may enter into the
laxity on the part of the faithful
church members.
The evening union service was en-
joyed by a good-sized audience on
the Baptist lawn. Mr.. Stuchal assist
ed the orchestra with the music and
Mrs. E. A. Martin sang a solo.
Mems Civic Club
It will not be necessary for men,
bers toNbuy tickets to the Thursday
evening meeting on the Normal lawn,
but the ladies who are to serve would
like to know about how many to pre-
pare for. Phone Prof. Ostrander or
phone go.
On Trip East
Mr.. and Mrs. K. B. Meyers are
making an extended trip through Ne
braska. They do not expect to
return to Tempe for some time
Farm and Garden Generous
Possibly no part of the valley
gives evidence at this time of year
to more generous harvest than that
surrounding Tempe. Trucks and
wagons loaded heavily with wheat,
barley. oats, hay, fruit and many
other things that grow on farm and
in garden and in orchard, seem to
center in Tempe, so numerous are
they at all hours of the day. New
cows are being purchased every week
and the dairy business is fine in
this community.
Tempe Represented
In the strenuous DeaconeSs hospi-
tai drive in Phoenix, 1t is of interest
to all Tempe citizens that one of her
honored citizens made subscription
of $4,000 and that this Tempe sub
scription is the largest one made by
anyone so far. Tempe has not been
canvassed yet.
Destructive Fire Prevented
Sparks from an engine set fire to
a field at Petersen's switch south of
town and burned over the immediate
field. Twohy Brothers men prevent
ed the fire from spreading to other
ranches.
DR.. Matthews Leaves
DR.. Matthews, president of the
Normal, left last night for Boston
where he will attend the n. E. A.,

Miss Laura Dobbs and Prof. Irish
