THE TEST CASE.
The Off slnl and Commercial Reco

lIhe ON Slal and Commercial Record
The case brought by Territorial
Treasurer Kepoilsai against Superin
tendent of Public Works Holloway and
superintendent of Water Works Brown
to prevent them from turning over the
Honolulu Water Works to the County
supervisors, is a step in the right
direction. 1t is just such a case as the
citizens meeting desired and which the
Bar Association had agreed to for,nu-
late and bring in order to test the
validity of the County Act. In fact the
Bar Association committee had dis
cussed this very method of getting the
question before the court, and would
have probably made the Water Works
the subject matter of the suit. AS it is
this case can and should bring up
every one of the general objections to
the County Act and give the court OPP
portunity to decide them. Having that
opportunity the court should decide
them. Not one but all of them.
1t is within the discretion of the Su-
preme Court, when the constitution
atty of statute is contested upon
several grounds, to decide the case
either upon one ground alone, or to
consider and dispose of all the grounds
presented.
So much depends upon the validity or
invalidity Of the County Act, and the
uncertainty is SO disturbing to public
confidence, which is the soul Of credit,
that the public interests call for an
early and complete decision. The Rec
ord urges upon the Court that It not
only advance the case to early hearing,
but that 1t consider and decide all Of
the grounds presented as cause for
holding the act invalid, as well as all
those in its support.
II. on the other hand, the grounds
OF attack are considered piecemeal, one
ground only being considered in each
case. during series OF cases. the re-
suit will be waste of time, money and
EFFORT, with no corresponding benefit,
while the evils arising from uncertain
ty will be unnecessarily prolonged.
A short, sharp and decisive" de-
cision is needed. and the Record be-
lieves that the Supreme Court will rise
to the occasion and give 1t.

WRAY TAYLOR
MAY RETURN

overtures are said to have been made
for the repayment to the Territory of
the shortage found in wray Taylor's
books. If successful and the criminal
charge is withdrawn Taylor intends to
return to Honolulu.
Taylor is in New York. where he has
been since his return rrom England
where he claims TO have gone uncon-
sciously. That is a theory open to
doubt. After his departure Taylor
wrote to C. b, Reynolds and ordered
the sale OF all his property in the ISL
ands and he also wrote TO Sister AL
bertina that he did not mean to ,e-
turn.

PLACE.

Elizabeth Vinegar, Mrs. Agnes s. Lo- per in the grammar school.
 The Alma school district lying di- rectly west and contagious to Mesa. is housed in a good substantial school building of brick, costing s6,OcO. with apparatus and furniture valued at ST. coo. This school enrolled last year 155 pupils and IS carefully graded and Is presided over by a very efficient corps of instructors, as follows: Prof. n. Dudley Jones. principal; Miss Coltrin and Miss Montford and Mrs. Orpha Babbitt. The Sth and 9th grades of the high school are taught in this school as well.
 The Lehi district, lying to the north and contagious to the Mesa district, oc- cupies also q substantial school build ing, costing $2,O0O and containing fur niture and apparatus costing S1000.00. The last year there was enrolld 9S pupils, with percentage of attendance of a5. Three teachers presides over the Lehi school: Prof Dean Goodwin. principal; Miss Bessie Schwartz and Miss Leona Gibson
 In the Nephi district a handsome brick house graces the school grounds and cost $2,50O and contains furniture ana appaTdIuS Nalued at SoOO. Wltn an enrolment of SS pupils it is presided over by one teacher, while Prof. Alex ander presides over the Jordon school and Miss Garnett Allison over the Highland. the last three being rot graded.
 Owing to the beautiful climate of the Salt river valley children can go much farther to school than in! a country sr-la 1,a pIiy ic, districts can be larger, enabling the school authorities to more closely grade the school. and thereby secure a higher standard of work.
 From the above facts we can deduca that Mesa, with it's nearly roo school children and twerty-one teachers, can boast of schools second to none in Ari- zona, and schools that compare favor ably with those of any country.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.
A Perfect Sanitarium for the Health Seeker-MatchIess for the DeveI- opment of the Products of
 the Land.

Ask a man to make his home in your community and what is the first ques- ton he will propOund* Is it not. How is your climate? He will invest his money in commercial or chimerical en- terpriseS in any country where he be- lieves he can realize handsome profit, but when contemplating the establish ment of a home, where those dearer to him than all the wealth of the Indies or the jewels of Gilconda. are to dwell, he wants to feel assured beyond the possibility of doubt that they will not be exposed to disease by reason of eli matic conditions. To such men, and only such men are desirable settlers
 this people say the Altitude of Mesa Is 1900 feet, it's mean temperature 1s about sixty degrees and it's humidity just sufficient to counteract the sense of oppression to respiration, which, were it less, would result from the purity of the atmosphere. It is high enough in altitude to render the eXis-
 tence of malartal germs impossible, and
 yet low enough to allow of atmospheric
 moisture to the degree most desirable for most perfe ct respiratory comforc. It's proximity to the great mountains

Where were the engineers, with their costly instruments and years of college training? Where the heavy teams and modern implements to turn this water from it's sunken bed out into the higher plano of the adjacent soil? They had them not. Yet that night they resolved that these ditches should be dug. How did they accomplish it? God only knows, The story of their privations, their suffering and their achievements will be told when the history of Nor mon colonization is fully written. So modest are these men in talking of their work that one can only conjecture as to the methods they adopted. The re- suit is a complete and perfect system of irrigation.

Kimball, Charles Crimson, Jr., Joseph Cain and William Brim, from the neighborhood of Salt Lake City. joined the colony and immediately began cooperation in all of it's undertakings. Later in the same year T. C.

second important city in the valley The general plan of the city with it's broad streets and sidewalks, admits of the most elaborate establishment. The To- cation is magnificent. On every hand for miles around the landscape for the most part seems dressed in living green. In fields and meadows. along sidewalks and country roads bordered by cottonwood ash and the stately um- brella trees, Natures lavish hand en- hances the attra ractiveness of the "Coun- try of Homes.
 W hile nestling close to the mountain range, which to the east presents an exceptionally rugged yet picturesque outline, the city occupies a low mesa, some fifty feet above the river bottom and is surrounded by as level and fer tile body of land. stretching for miles to the east, west, south and north as lies "out of doors.'
 Situated at the end Of the valley nearest the source of the water supply the city commands a magnificent view of the great Salt river valley. which, with it's wealth of Ferdure, of cattle and never failing crops. presents capti- vatIng scenes of never failing beauty
 The city itself is well laid out and the improvements completed are in harmony with the most exacting re- qurements of the modern school. I1lcc- tric lights turn. the night into day, and the buildings are substantial and at tractive, while the streets and homes, with lawns and shade trees. with gar% dens and flowers, present to the home seeker the invalid. the business man, all the essentials of his requirements.
 It's location places it directly in the track of the enormous development that is going on in the territory. Just far enough from the capital city. with which it is connected by two railroads with three trains daily, with an extra train to be put on in the near future and out of and above the mighty water course of Salt river. making it immune from floods, it is destined to be the fine residence" spot of the valley.

plans for a symetrical apportionment
 were formulated by c. I. Robson, Geo.
 w. Shrine and F. M. Pomeroy, who also
 gave it it's present name. It was. sur
 veyed into lots and blocks, giving the i streets a width of 125 feet by A. M
 Jones. The plan adopted for the distri- button of the lots. all of which were an acre and quarter in size, was that the settler who held one share of stock in ! the newly built Mesa canal. each share being then valued at $2O0, was entitled to four lots, and he who held more than one to as many in the same ratio. The work of erecting houses was then be- gun and Charles Mallory built the first adobe house, which still stands near the geographical center of the town.
 The other buildings were constructed Mexican fashion, the roof being first made, supported on poles. and then the walls were built to it. On the comple- tion of the canal, distance of nine and half miles. fruit trees were planted and gardens speedily laid out. A schooi house, that also served for religious purposes. was then erected of adobe and in 1882 an addition to it was made About this time the place began to take on quite a village air, and it was enti- tied to municipal incorporation. A pe- titi0n praying for such was signed by sixteen citizens on July D. 1883. and was granted by the county supervisors July 15, 1883. An election was held on the first Monday of August following, and the officials elected were as follows: A. F. Macdonald, mayor: F. Pomeroy, George w. Shrine, William Passey and A. F. Stewart, councilmen; C. I. Rob son, recorder; J. II. Carter, treasurer; H. C. Longmore. assessor: w. Rich ins. marshal; H. $. Phelps, poundkeep- CT
 Under the wise direction of this gov ernmental body the city of Mesa was steadily improved. streets and side
 walks received due attention, and in the ensuing years their successors fol- lowed in the line of progress they laid down. Desirable homes were erected concomitant with the growth of wealth. and at the present time no city of it's
 size can boast more elegant residence and business structures than adorn it's soil The wealth of foliage and friuts and flowers. of deep green lawns and well-kept homes add much to the facia.
 beauty Of the town. As an index to the
 taste displayed in the selection of this
 foliage, the pepper. stately evergreen which grows there to majestic size,
 the palm. the prototype of grace in arborage, the broad reaching. umbrage- ous China and the weeping willow may
 be mentioned.
 The present officers of the city are
