FOR ARIZONA
Republican Insiirycnt in Senate Dc
livers His Maiden Speech Says
New Constitution of Territory is
Good One.
PROGRESS toward the city beautiful is extremely slow,
in iMedford. Notwithstanding the fact that tree plant
ing season is Hearing an end, not Malt Hie sliade trees Have
been planted that should be and there has been no organ
ized movement along these lines.
Efforts at beaut ificat ion drag along in the most dis
heartening manner. It has taken the Southern Pacific
six months to park a narrow strip a block in length along
its right of way and this is the only effort being made to
enlarge the park system or improve the city.
It is one of the mysteries of the hour why the city coun
cil, enterprising and progressive along most lines, refuses
to act along lines for beautifying the city, why it does not
request the railroad to park the balance of its right-of-way,
why it permits vacant lots in the center of the city to be
used as barn yards and dumping grounds, why expressmen
are permitted to use the railroad right-of-way, that should
be a park, not only as a loafing place during the day, but
as a storage ground for wagons during the night, and why
no effort is made to provide additions to the park system.
iMedford has many things to do in the creation of the
city out of the country town, but few things have a more
important bearing upon its future growth and prosperity
that the building of the city beautiful a metropolis that
will reflect in some small measure the wondrous beauty
nature has showered upon the valley surrounding it.

Houatur John l. WoikH, lopulillcun In

ATTENTION of the new sidewalk inspector, the street
commissioner and of'the city council, is called to the
deplorable condition of sidewalks on many paved streets.
In many places the old wooden walks are still utilized,
though boards are missing and broken.
In front of other properties, the sidewalk has never
been graded, but remains several feet in elevation above
the curb, North Central offers a fine example of the
lethary of owners and city.
Some dav or other, some one will fall and break his or
her neck and the citv will face a heavv damage suit.
It is an injustice to compel a portion of the property
owners to construct concrete walks and permit the ad
joining property owner to keep his wooden walk. This
is not equality before the law, and places a penalty upon
enterprise.
WMen property owners reluse to construct, concrete
walks as ordered, it is the city's duty to construct them and
tfie bill becomes a lien against the property. The official
that neglects this duty is delinquent, and there is too much
of this class of delinquency.

NOTHING CAN STOP IT
J A city can be built on a hill, but it is a great task to
build it. You can build a home on a rock pile or on
"hard pan," provided you spend enough labor and
money. To begin with, it is a matter of some con
sequence to buy and haul soil for a lawn and garden.
4$ And come to think of it seriously, why should a per
son incur the trouble and expense of converting a
grasshopper district into a dwelling place, when good
land in desirable localities can he had much cheaper'?
J You cannot gather figs from thistles, neither can
a large crop of hair be clipped from a toad. It would,
require considerable advertising to make Bear creek
water equal in quality to that of J3ull .Run. If through
official favoritism all the city improvements were
given to the "bad lauds" they would not be convert
ed into an Eden. The serpent would probably be
there, but the tree of life, never.
j The old woman with a broom tried to sweep back
the tides of the sea, just as official polliwigs tried to
block the progress of .Riverside Sub-division. The
tides still flow and this beautiful addition continues
to improve. Observe the number of lots sold and
the improvements under way. It couldn't be other
wise. The lots are all good land; they are beautiful
ly situated, commanding a fine view of the valley
and mountains. Nature has supplied shade trees and
the best of drainage; no mud to contend with even in
the wetcst seasons.
J Situated on North Riverside Avenue, the only street
running through the city from north to south, the in
terurban car line is sure to run through this addition.
It is only a fifteen-minute walk from the postoffice
and close to the North school; water and sewer are
now in, and city officials declare Riverside will be
paved this summer without fail. But whether paved
or not, the property is just as desirable, for it costs
less money. And that alone makes this opportunity
shine. These lots are cheap. The owner does not want
all the money nor all the land there is. lie is willing
for you to have some of both. Just to be convinced
call and price them. A group of these lots, for the
next two weeks, will be sold on small monthly pay
ments. I See W. E. PJ1LPPS, the Owner.
