 The church of the Latter Day Saints has been very vigorous in detailing it's missionaries from this section of the country to fields in foreign lands and distant states.

 On Friday evening at 7:30 there will be held a mass meeting at the Coop. hall for the purpose of considering the proposition of building a wagon road to Globe and ascertaining what Mesa and vicinity will do towards its con- struction From personal interviews with most of the business men it can be said that Mesa will not be at all backward in this enterprise. When asked his opinion in regard to the matter, W. J. LeBaron of the Zenos Cooperative store said he had not given the matter much thought. Peo- pie were too apt to create great deal of stir over a matter and then let 1t fall through. Two years ago this same proposition was up and his com pany spent considerable time and ss5 in cash towards the road, which never materialized and for which the firm never derived the slightest benefit. MT. LeBaron said he would be present at the meeting Friday night. A Hunsaker. hardware dealer, said he was heartily i'll favor of the proposed road, as he had no doubt that it would be of great benefit to the valley. "Pl be at the meeting ready to do my share towards it's construction" he said. TTT of hn n very decided in his position: You may say for me-" said he, anything III favor of it's construction. It will be worth thousands of dollars to this val ley. I am ready to help push the thing through
 Mayor D. T. LeBaron said he would be present at the meeting. we must be alive to such things as this pro posed road to Globe It will not do 10 set idly by in the face of such op- portunities. I believe it is great opportunity, and you may place me on record as being ready to do my whcae share. Yes, I will be at the meeting."
 Dan Kleinman of the Nest meat mar ket was also emphatic in his views. Will you be at the meeting and will you do your part toward it's construc- tion?'' he was asked. You bet your boots will be at the meeting" he re- piled T have got teams, harness, wagons and a scraper to put right out there on that road.
 Hon. C. R. flakes position was no less positive. Are you in favor Of the proposed road to Globe?" he was asked. "Yes, sir" replied he. "I consider it the best investment this valley can interest itself in. I will do all in my power to promote the en- terprise and have already agitated It among the ranchers. It would per haps be even better than railroad to Globe because all the freighters would spend their money here while rail- road would take it's earnings out of the country. It would be a new outlet for Tonto Basin also. I will ba pres ent at the meeting"
