 F. T. Pomeroy, the writer, and H. S. i Phelps returned from a trip of a few i days to Tucson Tuesday, and while away attended the university of Ari- zona and had a nice visit with the | Mesa boys attending that popular and growing institution. We found all of the boys, namely Willie Drew, Willie l Pew. Elmer Johnson. Orville Stewart, Gebulon Pearce and Dick Drane, hard at work and making a name for them - | selves among the students and instruo- tors as hardWCrking, intelligent boys. We were shCTn through the building l by the boys and took supper in their spacious dining hall with the first four named. We found the university sets l good meal and that it gives the boys every accommodation and convenience 1 necessary for their comfort consistent with hard work expected of the pupils. i We went over to the rooms in the boys dorrlitory, where seventy of them are housed in large, well-ventilated electric lighted and fuel-heated rooms. Their rooms and board cost them S15 per month. Besides this they have td pay for their washing, and usually about $1 extra for lights, as the school only stands for lights to 9.30 at night
 The boys have their rooms pretty wei
 decorated with Mesa views and other
 pictures on the walls, and if some of the
 girls in Mesa were to step into them
 they would probably learn whom the
 young men held in their thoughts dur

 There are ROW in attendance 1S0 pu-

 have handsome stone dormitory in the
 northern part of the grounds, while the
 boys are on the southern part. Tht
 president, F. Yale Adams, stands higr
 with the boys, and in fact they are
