No Good Roads For Virginia.

The Virginia Legislature voted 81 to
SO, against the passage Of bill for
the construction OF good roads within
the State. This action, was a bitter
disappointment to the progressive citi-
zens OF the old Commonwealth, who
have felt for many seasons that 1t was
time Virginia joined the procession of
the States In the encouragement of
better highways The Virginia roads
are about as bad at times as any in
the country. A few old pixies re.
main as reminders of the days when
stage coaches rolled across country,
the chief means of communication.
But these are in disrepair. and the
common roads are usually muddy or
deep IN dust. The farmers of Vir-
ginia have suffered heavily from this
cause losing time and money in the
transportation of their goods to mar
ket. Many Of them have recognized
the folly Of the old methods of road.
making and repair, but they have not
been able to persuade the legislators
Of the wisdom Of the adoption of mod.
ern devices and plans of taxation.
This lesson of the actual profit to be
derived from good roads is not as read
lily learned as might be imagined, when
the ease with which balance is struck
III favor of the new methods is consid-
cred. The farmer Is too conservative
to adopt such suggestions readily. In
some parts of the country, on the other
hand, the farmers have been the plo.
neers in the good roads movement,
and their influence and votes have
caused the enactment of laws which
have revolutionized rural conditions.
But apparently this spirit does not OBJ
tain in Virginia sufficiently to bring
results as yet. Perhaps a tour through
the Old Dominion Of the good roads
train which was sent down through
the Mississippi Valley by one of the
large railroad corporations a few
months ago would convert enough peo-
pie tc cause the Legislature at its next
session to pass this bill, and so cause
Virginia to get in line with her sister

When the gentlemen who are excep-

fellOw-men. we commend to them the
example of Mr.. George Gould. who
has offered TO bear one-thlrd of the en-.
tire cost of the improvement of the
public highways in the vicinity of
Lakewood. Libraries and universities
and hospitals and churches, are vastly
beneficial to our communities and we
trust the great philanthropy involved
in such gifts as these will show no
abatement in the future. Nevertheless.
good roads are essential elements of
the success Of all of these, and the gen.
tlemen of great wealth who regard
themselves somewhat in the light of

but added to the pain Of those brought
thither to be cured Hence we think
that Mr. Could's offer is not only a
generous one but prompted by much
wisdom. A good public road is not

WILL RESUME BUSINESS
The Assignee of J. Ernest Walker Is
 Discharged

A petition was filed in the district court yesterday by w. H. Black, as- signee of J. Ernest Walker, for his dis charge and at the same time he pre- scented his final report. An order ap- proving the report and discharging the assignee was presented to the court.
 This is step in the settlement of the tangled affairs of the assignor which not long ago seemed to be hopeless. but 1t appears now that the indebtedness may be discharged in full and that there may be something left for Mr. Walker. Not long after the assign ment some of the creditors began bankruptcy proceedings. and then fol- lowed an understanding between the friends of MT. Walker and the creditors by which the bankruptcy case was dis missed and an arrangement was made for the discharge of the assignee. It was agreed that Mir. Walkers father in-law. D. D. Horning. should guar antee the payment of 20 per cent of the indebtedness, and upon the payment of 10 per cent of it the property should be turned back to the owner and that within thirty days the balance of the 10 per cent of the indebtedness should be paid that MT. Horning should act in the capacity of trustee for the cred 1tcrs and should receive reports from Mir Walker from time to time and should receive all cash derived from the sale of any property now belong ing to the estate. He should continue to act in this capacity until all the debts had been discharged or until all the property had been exhausted.
 Fifty three of the creditors partici- pated in this agreement and none raised any objection to it. It took a great deal of time to secure the agree ment since many of the creditors are non-residents. Some of the creditors were secured in one way or another either by collateral or liens They also entered into the agreement at the same tune reserving the right to protect themselves by what securities they al- ready had.
 The first installment of 10 per cent of the indebtedness has been paid and the property has been turned back tc Mr. Walker. who will resume business lie has entirely recovered his health and his friends are hopeful that he will succeed in pulling Iimseelf out of what seemed few months ago to be a bot tomless hole. He owns or has interests in a great deal of property in the Buckeye country which is increasing ir value very rapidly.
 The report of the assignee shows that in the five months of his administra- tion of the affairs of Mr Walker he has collected in cash s1.2S9 and has ex- pended sS69. The collections represent the sale of no real estate or any other property, but the money has come from rents and the collection of notes and accounts.

THE NEW BREWERY
Architect Maritzen-The Site Will Be
 Chosen Next Monday.

A. MaritZen, who is known as the most experienced architect in the con- struction of breweries in the United States, arrived in town yesterday morning to direct the construction of the big brewery to be built by Melczer Brothers company. All the details of the project have not yet been com pleted but they will be by Monday night, including the selection of site. The company has several sites in view, but none has been decided upon yet.
 The work upon the brewery building will be begun within a very short time. It will cost $125.0 .0OO, and will be fin
 ished in time to supply Phoenix with
 book beer next year.l Those who are
 wise in such matters know that the book beer season begins about April l. That is about as early as the company could possibly get ready for operation. It is eminently proper that the first brew to be put upon the market should
 be book, for that is of a sort of car mine hue significant O; jollity.
 Manufacturers of brewery machin cry. like the makers of all kinds of machinery, are overrun with orders, but the order of this company has been in for some time. and in order that it
 may be turned out in good time the company is willing to pay d small pre- mium.
 The capacity of the brewery will be sufficient to meet the demand of all Arizona and a part of that of the sur rounding states and territories, though by that time it is hoped that there will | be no territories The beer is to be
 manufactured under q guarantee that it will be equal to any ever sold in this market. The brew master was eX-
 pected to be here by this time, but 1 his visit has been delayed. There is. | however. nothing for him to do at this stage of the proceedings except to
 make suggestions regarding the plan
 and construction of the building and | the placing of the machinery.

LAW DAY
Judgments Rendered in Several
 Long Pending Cases.

Among the cases disposed of in the district court yesterday was that of the National Bank of Arizona against M. w. kales, in which a demurrer to an amended complaint was sustained and Judgment was given for the de- fendant. The plaintiff gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court This case had its origin in a transaction in the bank during the time that the de- fendant was at the head of that insti- tutlon- A customer of the bank ap- piled for loan and offered as security certain territorial warrants, which were accepted, but which were after ward pronounced to be valueless. Mr kales demanded other security. which the borrower furnished, but he neg lected to take back the warrants. They were afterward legaliZed or given d value and were paid. At that time the owner of them was not in the country and the money went into the bank as a part of the profits
 After the connection of Mir. KaIes with the bank had been severed the owner of the warrants turned up. and demanded the proceeds of the sale of the warrants. The amount which had been received for them was turned over to him and the bank made a deman nd upon MT. kales for reimbursement. He denied that he had anything to do with the transaction any further The money he had received for the war rants he said he had turned into the bank. as the books showed, and all the stockholders of the bank had prof tied alike. It was only proper that the stockholders should make good the amount, and he was no longer q stock holder.
 Judgment was given the plaintiff in the case of D. A. Tyrrell vs. the Farm CTS and Mechanics bank of Tempe.
 In the case of the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias against the United States Fidelity and Guaranty com pany. surety for Edward Butt Jr, a defaulting grand officer of the lodge, the trial order was vacated and the case was continued for the term

A CUR1O HUNT
R. L. Bake Will Make Tour of Many
 Indian Tribes.

R. L. Bake will leave next week Cn tour of the Indian tribes Of Arizona, Mexico and Northern California and Washington in search of curios. He will close up his curiC establishment for two months, for there is little done in that line in midsummer anyhow. and he will return about September 1st with the finest lot of personally select ed curios ever brought to the city. He has a large number of orders from eastern parties which he can fill in no other way than by making this kind of journey.
 MT. Bake will first visit the Apaches the Navajos. After that he will visit the Yaquis and will then make a gen. eraI trip throughout Mexico in search of rare curios. Returning from Mexico he will go among the Pomos in North crn California and will next visit the Klackitat and Siwash tribes.
 The work of some of these tribes has never been seen in this part of the country whose exhibits have been largely made up of the products of the Indians of the south. When MT. Bake returns with his new stock he will have such collection of curios as has never been seen anywhere in the southwest and perhaps never anywhere in the world. His stock is already one of the largest in the west, but his new one variety.

ADJUSTMENTS A


During the past week the Park thea tre was filled every night with an audi ence that for refinement and deport- ment would do credit to any theatre in the country. The Curtiss Comedy company have surely won the goodwill and esteem of our many amuSemen. lovers, and their efforts to please have not been in vain. Each play thus far presented has met with favor, and the different artists who appear in the productions have been accorded the highest praise not only as actors but as ladies and gentlemen both on and off the stage. The splendid department of the members have won for them the esteem os some of our best and most influential people, and daily the favor ite members of the company are enter tained at the homes of their admirers and many little amusements are gotten up to entertain them while off the stage. Tonight the excellent band under the leadership of Prof. Edward Peters will give very select open-ail concert, and we assure all those that enjoy music that they will hear some splendid selections if they visit the park tonight. The management will provide plenty of seats for all. and everything will be done to make the visitors comfortable. The concert will begin at 7:3O sharp. Admission to the park will be free to all holding street. car checks which can be procured from the conductors.
 During the absence of the CurtiSS company next week Manager Stechan has arranged to continue the open air lawn promenade concerts at East Lake Park each evening from 7:45 to Q, which will be followed by dancing un- til II D. m. in the pavilion. Professor Michael Fontain's orchestra, consisting of twelve musicians, will furnish excel lent music. for already many of the young ladies and gentlemen who are fond of dancing have given assurance of liberal patronage during the week. On Friday, July 4th. a special pro- gramme of fourteen prize events, in cluding swimming races, boat races, all kinds of sprinting and a game of base ball between the Fireman and the Mansfields will make an interesting
