PLUNaER JOE YEAGER.
Big Better Behind the Game, but Has
Not Sold First Call on Hildebrand.

Joe Yeager, the plunging bookmaker. was
in the city yesterday, coming from West
Baden to consult with his father. William
Yeager, who will leave for Los Angeles this
morning to make book at Ascot Park,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Joe Yeager Is at present very much of
figure in the sporting world. AS book
maker he is one of the biggest of the big
ones; he has pretty large racing stable:
has Eugene Hildebrand, the sensational
jockey, under contract; is part owner Of
the club house at West Baden; is big
stakeholder in the hotel at that point; con-
trolls, with his partners the Arkansaw Club
at Hot Springs, and has breeding farm at
Atlantic, Iowa. This is certainly going
some for young man, and to his credit 1t
must be said that success has not changed

acquainted 1t was formerly Little Joe.
but it can't be that any more, as Joe is put
ting on flesh at great rate and is almost
as big as Pa Bill.
Yeager did not have successful year,

DESIGNATION OF FACTS
In the View of "A Kicker" the English
 Language Should be More Used.

To the Editor of The Republican, ST:
 I was pleased to note yesterday communication in your journal from Peoria wherein one person. at least. aD- proves my views of weather report s and some magazine publishers. but ornlains that I do not get after the publishers hard enough. I admit the soft impeachment. My reason for rot saving more about them was that if I allowed myself to say all I thought about them the matter would be unfit for publication
 l think I have discovered the true reason why they do not cut the leaves of their reading matter (son1e of them
 I mean. for others have reformed and are now good citiZensl. It is not econ onv, because one swine of a big sharp knife would trim great stacks of ma g. aZinee in a fraction of a section. The newsdealers have told me that these publishers will not accept a copy re- turned as unsOld if the pages are cut.
 Thus the cloven hoof of sordid c7m- mercia'ism breaks through the patent leather gloss of consideration for their readerS' binding proclivities.
 I noticed in a local paner of the 9th | inst. a report from the "section hoss''
 of the weather bureau that is a marvel
 in the way of cryptograms. for I defy
 anv one to read it understandingly
 without a key. I suspect you must exercise your irerog9tive and "e7ir' the reports that appear in your paper, for they are models Of simplicity com
 pared to these wonderful linguistic phantasmagoria.
 Among marv other curious things. an "accumulated deficiency" is noted. | This is very reprehersible in the pub 1 lie service. ana shows that the weather man not only knew Of this deficiency but condoned it and allowed it to ac- cumulate. If he were in the postal de- partment some grand jury would have ! had him indicted ere this.
 | Now our local weather man here at ! Mesa makes a re port every day that we all understand and appreciate. He
 gives us the maximum and minimum | temperature, precipitation. character of the day. prevailing direction of the
 wind. closing with an almost sure-thing ! bet on general conditions tomorrow. | if he has an Accommodated deficiency
 he is careful to say nothing about It.
 It doesn't appear on the books. His predictions always come true urtil the weather changes, when he also changes, and predicts the same kind of weather | for tomorrow that We are having to- day until another change occurs, and
 SO orI It is extremely simple and very | safe. and causes no one any u0neces- ] sary worry.
 | With precipitation I have TO fault | to find Most of us know what it
 means, or think we do, which answers the purpose admirably. After hunting
 up a dictionary and not finding it We
 go down to the Carnegie library and find it has no books yet, such things net entering into the scheme of the great philanthropist, though his name deep " carved in the enduring granite. or

A CHARMING SCIENTIST.
The Only Woman Who Holds the Mas
 ter's Degree in Economic Geology.

Mrs. Helena Hill Weed, who made the address at the Washington's birth day exercises held at Independence hall last Monday, enjoys the distinc tion of being the only woman in the United States who has received the collegiate degree of master of arts in economic geology.
 Mrs. Weed is distinguished for her work in this field of scientific research, which she has made her life study. She Is the daughter of Congressman c. J. Hill of Norwalk, Conn.,, and she was educated at Vassar college, graduating in 1S95. Shortly after her graduation she married Walter Harvery Weed one of the mining experts Of the United States geological survey. She accom- panied her husband to Montana and there did the original field work for her degree, which was conferred upon her by her alma mater in 1901
 Mrs. Weed is one of the vice presi- dents general of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and while one of the youngest members of the organization she is one of the ablest workers on the national board of management. She Is the mother of three children.-Phil- adelphia Inquirer.

 Of what value are reports we do not understand? It is all right to send such things to the central office. where they are doubtless understood. but the agricultural mariner would do well to steer clear of these treacherous fogs. or if perchancc he finds himself envel- oped in the deadly mist. Hay to- if he can, until a ray of common sense shall pierce and dispel the gloom.
 Civil engineering is one of the highest technical professiors: in fact none is more SC. the frightful jaw break 'nG words for simple ailments to the con- trary notwithstanding. Yet allow me to quote one of the leading member, John c. Trautwine. now dead. In the preface to the first edition of his "E1- gineer's Pocketbook.' which which no other book of equal size In the world contains as much valuable in forma ton, he says:
 "Should experts in engineering com plain thet they do not find anything of interest ir this volume. the writer would merely remind them that it was not his intention that they should. The book has been prepared for y7unG members of the profeseion: and one of the leading objects has been to clue date. in plain English. a few imOort9nt elementary principles which the saw ants have envelope6 in such haze of mystery as to render pursuit hopelss to any but a confirmed mathematician"
 Again. in giving credit to authors he has quoted ne says:
 "The writer does not include Rankin, Mosely and Weisbarh, because al- though their books are productions of master minds. and exhibit :. profundity of knowledge beyond the reach of or dinary men. yet their lar guage is also so profound that very few engineers can read them. The writer hine having long since forgotten the little higher mathematics he once knew, can not. To him they gre but little more than striking instances of how com oletely the most simple facts may be buried out of sight under heaps of mathematical rubbish"

 It is mentioned elsewhere in The Re publican this morning that the offices of the geological survey were moved yesterday into the postoffice building. interest in the Tonto road project may be increased by the information that the location of the offices are more or less temporary. In the event that the members of the survey should have to. make their frequent journeys to the dam site by the way Of Globe the offices may be removed from Phoenix alto gether and located at the more con venient town of Globe.

by lessened cost of the construction of anyhow So the road will cost nothing. or less than nothing and any profit that will accrue from it will be net.
 It was shown that there will be no less than 1000 men employed on the dam and in the works thereabout. The payroll will amount to not less than $30, ,0O6 a month. That sum will find it's way to the towns in the valley. Some of it will go to the merchants and some will help to swell the deposits of the banks.
 The towns and the farmers of the valley will also furnish many of the supplies, which would otherwise be taken into the works from Globe. Then there will be the opening up of mining and other industries which would in- crease the income sources of the valley. The travel on the road would be heavy from the beginning. Application has already been made for permission to establish a first-class stage line. The magnitude of the operations at the dam site will attract thousands of visitors who will visit it either by the way of Phoenix or by the way of Globe. If the IOdQ SilOuld liOl bG Dulll bil6N NOuAh have no reason to come to Phoenix at all. Also if the road is built at all it will be built by midsummer so that those who have been pawning their household furniture year after year to go inside" can go up into the noun tains and have better time without impoverishing themselves

 Speaking yesterday of the road, President Fowler of the Water Users association said tha: when he was in Washington advocating the passage of the Tonto bond bill he met President { Garland of the Gila Valley Globe & Northern railway. He told MT. Gar 1 land that he supposed he would oppose the passage of the bill MT. Garland replied that he would not; he had no objection to the building of the road | from Phoenix. On the contrary he fl-
 vored it. He said that his road already had all the business it could handle. In ! dam site he would have to greatly in crease his equipment and he did not care to do so. since that business would
 not last long enough 10 pay him for ! the additional expense. But, he said,
 q road from Phoenix would open a
 great deal of permanent mining bust l. ness in that region and that would be permanent. He believed he would get
 enough of that to keep his road well i employed.
 Said MT. Fowler: 'If considerable part of that developed business should
 be turned in the direction of the Gila
 Valley Globe & Northern, how much
 more of it would come in the natural direction of the valley?"
 He also said: We ought to be able
 to learn something from ancient his-
 tory. It was said. All roads lead tN Rome The Romans understood the

THE TONTO ROAD
Some of the Reasons Why It Is De-
 sired.

There is an awakening interest in the Tonto road bond election and most, if not all of the interest is in favor of the bonds. When the subject was first brought up. some months ago, there were expressions in some quarters of opposition 10 it on the ground that the towns of Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe could not undertake an additional bur den of indebtedness. The advantage of the road was admitted, but some thought that it could not at present be afforded.
 The thing is now being looked at not as something to be afforded. but as q saving. as a money making venture for the three towns. Mir. Davis Of the geological survey has shown that the amount of money that will be spent up- on the road vii! be more than saved
