LAFAYETTE AND BURR
Some Essays by Pupils of the Phoenix
 Schools.

The following are essays written in competition for a prize offered by Maricopa chapter. Daughters of the American Revolution. The subject was a comparison of the characters of Mar ouis de Lafayette and Aaron Burr. The competition was open to pupils of the eighth grade of the Phoenix schools. The prize, a gold medal. was won by Miss Alme Ellington. ~ James, Ander- sons essay was deserving of honorable mention. Miss Ellingson's essay fol- lows:
 The, patriots of America remember and will always remember. the noble Maro,1is de Lafayette. and, what he has done for our country. They win also remember the deeds done by Aaron Burr. but will do so in a far different manner.
 I.afayette. who gave himself for lib- erty and mankind, cannot be compared with the traitor Aaron Burr. who lack ed the nobility and honor possessed by the former. Yet, let us remember that Lafayette was brought mp in a noble family, with riches generously bestow- ed upon him. On the ether hand, Burr was left orphan at an carly age and knew not of the gentle guidance and training by a loving mother which La fayette received. Burr obtained a good education, and it seems so pathetic that his life should be so wasted, while La fayette's was spent for such unselfish motives. How different two lives can be with the same opportunities before them is vividly portrayed in the char acters of these two men.
 What great things Burr might have accomplished with his influence when he became vice president of our coun- try His station in society and politics could have enabled him to do as worthy things for America as did La fayette. But he chose the wrong path, and consciously went to the destruction recorded against him in history. His life was one of sin, and his first great crime, that of murdering Alexander Hamilton, seemed only to lead him on to the attempt to eXtinguish the flick ering flame of independence in our country.
 How different from Burr was Lafa- yette. Lafayette. who felt it within him that his calling was for defending liberty; and when he was not called upon to do so for his own country he came to America to aid in gaining the liberty which we now possess and so few fully appreciate. Lafayette's young life was given entirely for cur cause, and through bright days and days of sorrow and suffering he finally reached one of the most noble positions in life
 as being one of Libertys soldiers. His
 name has been praised for over one century, and will continue to be so for centuries to come.
 l The name of Burr shall slowly die / And sink in ages embers; l But Lafayette for freedoms cause" ! America remembers.

PHOENIx-ROOSEvELT ROAD
Estimate of Engineer Hill on Cost of
 Its Completion.

Dr. E. w. Wilbur, Dr. A. J. Chand Ter and Frank Alkire, a committee aD- pointed by the board of governors for that purpose, met yesterday in con- ference with l.. c. Hill, the engineer in charge of the work at the dam site, for the purpose of securing from him, an estimate of the probable cost of the Tonto freight road, proposed to be con structed along the line of road being built by the government preliminary to the construction of the transmission line. The road is now officially styled the Phoenix-Roosevelt road as it is designed to connect this city with the town of Roosevelt, at the storage basin, and it is the road for the com pletion of which an act recently pass ed congress enabling Phoenix, Mesa City and Tempe to bond themselves in an aggregate sum not exceeding $100, 0o9.
 MT. Hill has been over the route several times, recent trips having been made for the purpose of preparing this estimate which he thinks is conserva- tive. There are yet twenty-seven miles of virgin country to cross. On the remainder of it there has been more or less work done by the govern ment already and the entire length from Mesa City to Roosevelt is about sixty miles. The item mentioned be- low as the seven miles that need wid- ening and strengthening, is already completed sso far as the necessities of the transmission line are concerned and the, added expense Of $1,000 per mile is deemed sufficient to make it a good freight road for heavy, loaded wagons. In fact the estimate is for a we'll equipped freight road the entire distance and at no place will there be a grade to exceed six per cent. MT. Hill also presented a number of photo graphs of portions of the read which have been practically completed, at the other end of the route, together with ether pictures of interesting things 2t the basin, showing present activities and achievements. Follow ing are the figures of MT. Hills es- innate:
