lice judge for the next term, and
David A, keener was appointed as
city attorney to succeed Arthur e.
Price. who served for the past two

city clerk for the past two years and
assumes the extra duties of the po-
lice judges office which was held
by W. d. McRrayer. who is now a
member of the council.
There was a considerable cut in
some of the salaries because of the
seeming demand Of the public to
economic at this special time. 1t is
not known yet just what disposition
will be made of the garbage and
street cleaning job, as that matter
was not brought before the council
because CT so much other business.
The matter Of street lighting was
turned over TO the street committee
for them to work out tentative
system of lighting that Will prove to
be the most economical and give the
best lighting service to the town.

free in expressing their belief in the
ability of the present counciImen and

The Natives Hold Picnic
Just how many from Tempe went
to the Arizona picnic at Riverside
Monday night cannot be learned. but
some were there, and it is said that
Tempe has the largest percentage of
native-b born citizens than any other
town in the state. That is one of
the many reasons it is such a good
place in which to live. However. the
only state society organized in Tempe
that has reported is the Missouri
society. It has 20 members
Signs of Prosperity
The best sight from our front doors
in Tempe is the stream of wagons and
trucks loaded with sacks of wheat
that has been grown. harvested and
threshed on the farms around Tempe.
The miller will take the grain and
make it into flour and the baker will
bake it into white leaves of bread.
This Epic of the Wheat" as Frank
Norris calls it. after all. is the best
story of the day. Ten automobiles
pass our doors on the highway every
minute. Some of them may suggest
prosperity, and some suggest some
thing else. These creaking wagons,
loaded down with wheat. they suggest
life and prosperity all the time.
Old-Timer Moves
ID. G. Buck has not been in Tempe
quite as long as Neils Petersen or
Mr.. Walker. but he has been here so
long that most people think he was
here when the valley was discovered.
and he has been in one spot so long
that every one knows where to find
Mr.. Buck. His old stable is a land
mark. At last he is to move. He
has purchased the David Carnes
place from Joseph Birchett on Farm
ers avenue and will move to his new
home soon. Mr.. Buck has secured
the contract for furnishing the gravel
to the Pacific Construction company.

here and also members of tlae Casa
Grande chamber of commerce. and

! sion.
! At the close of the testimony and
exhibits offered by Nevada commits
| sioners, Mr.. Belts said, the represen-
| tatiyes OF the railroad companies in
! volved. when called upon to offer
| their testimony, refused to present
| any. holding to their technical right
to wait until all of the plaintiffs tes-
timony was in.
The commissions in their applica-
tion ask that the passenger fares APP
plying to New Mexico, Arizona and
Nevada be reduced from the present
rate of as cents a mile to Sc cents
mile. the rate which applies to all
of the other intermountain states
with these three exceptions.
Taking the interstate commerce
commission valuations of the South
ern Pacific Railway system and ap-
portioning the valuations to Nevada
in accordance with the mileage of
the road in the state, the Nevada
commission offered in evidence. ex-
hibits which showed the net earnings
of the company in Nevada during
the year 1920, were 1872 per cent of
the valuation and in 1921 were 1898
per cent The exhibit further showed
that the nearest approach to these
earnings in any of the three inter-
mountain states around Nevada
where the Sc fare is used, were those
of the Great Northern Railway sys-
tenn which showed net earning in
1920 of 1923.
The Nevada commission offered
evidence showing the total earnings
of the Southern Pacific on its entire
system was $2.12 a train mile While
in Nevada the earnings Were 1918 a
train mile. and that the road carried
69.13 passengers per train on the en-
tire system and 6S4S passengers per
train in Nevada.
They further showed that the pass
enger traffic into and out of Nevada
was carried to a very large extent
in through cars carrying trans-state
passengers who's were paying SO
cents mile for their transportation
while the Nevada passengers on int
terstate business into and out of
Nevada. and who rode in the same
cars with the intra state passengers
were paying a rate of As cents a mile.
At the former hearings of the case,
Mr.. Belts said. the railroads con-
tended they were entitled to higher
passenger rate in the three states in
volved in the hearing because their
operating expenses were higher in
these state while the number of pass
engers were less on account of the
sparsity of population.

yiso phrase that the armory be
erected within the next II months.

mately $4,000 for the construction

manent home in Mesa for the local

General Walter S. Ingalls, A re-
quest for lot rs by $50 feet was
made and the council augmented this.

$50 The lot is located on South
Macdonald street, having 100-foot
frontage facing west and running
half the length Of the city block
east, paralleling the Arizona Eastern

council conveying the strip of ground
to the state if the armory is con-
structed within the 12-month time
