SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

The Mesa school gave an exhibition in the Mesa opera house Wednesday night that was very creditable. In spite of the failure of the lights, com ing and going, and finally going out entirely, so that candles and hand lamps had to be used to make the per formers visible, the work of the pupils was good and reflected great credit on the teachers and those interested. The building was crowded with the parents and standing room was at a premium.
 Superintendent J. D. Loper presided, and the following program was rem dered:
 Chorus, advanced grades; reading of the governors proclamation, Walter Hobson; essay, Thanksgiving day, Alice Fuller; Jack-o'-Lantern song, primary class; recitation, Pail Ells- worth; Fiddle song, primary class; hoop drill, second grade; soldier song, primary class; recitation, "Better than Going to Grandpa's," Hazel Richins; Recitation, "Six Little Turkeys" Hes ter Ruse; recitation, thanksgiving in Many Lands," Grace Brizzee; chorus, second and third grades; recitation, "A Pilgrim Maid" Rachel Brimhall; recitation, Thanksgiving Dinner" Wesley Lewis, recitation, Turkey" Marguerite Cuber; Danish song, Hen ry Lytthans; recitation, Out for a

SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE.

The conference convened at 10 a. m. Sunday morning as the Sunday school part of the conference. Superintendent O. s. Stapley of the Mesa scnools pre- sided. After the reading of the min utes and the rolls were called and a concert exercise led by Miss Deborah Allen, the school was addressed by Elder Francis N. Lyman. He said when meeting with the children he al- ways remembered the esteem in which little children were held by the Savior of mankind. He said: Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven" He also referred to the tender and loving in- terest all of the leaders of the church in their day nave had for little chill dren, and encouraged the parents to nurture them. He was followed by a short address by Elder Rudger Claw
 son, who spoke along the same line, giving good instructions and encour- agement to the children and workers.
 He referred particularly to things that

What remains of the canal is pretty we'll filled up with sand, but some little water is running through the waste gates. none of it, however is turned into the canal.
 Just what the expense of repairing all this damage will be it is rather difficult to figure for a great deal de- bends upon the condition of the river at the time the work is in progress. Should it remain where it is now, it will be hard task and will take much longer and consequently will cost a great deal more. If, on the other hand, the river lowers enough to permit of material being hauled in by teams, the work will be considerable easier. At any rate, it will be a big undertaking, and one that will cost the sharehold- CTS of the canal a big price. Approxi
 possibly more. It will either be neces- sary to change the location of the dam, set it down the river even with the Harper dam or rebuild the upper end of the channel above the Harper dam and put the main dam where it used to be. It has not yet been decid- ed which course will be pursued.

 RORSON

Mrs. Sarah Ann Robson, the wife of the late President Chas. I, Robson, who was the president of the Marico- pa stake previous to his death, and was succeeded by President Collins R. flakes, died Tuesday evening about D. m. at the home of her daughter, Mary Rogers. Mrs. Robson was In her eighty seventh year and had been quite sick for the past two years. For the past year she has suffered terribl.' at times from chronic and inflamma- tory rheumatism, which complicated with heart trouble and carried ller eff.
 She was born in Posey county, Ind, in 1929. In the early days she came to Utah with her first husband, Eli Curtis. She had two children as the result of her first marriage. Later, she married Chas. I. Robson, with whom she came to Arizona in 1878.
 She, up to the time that she took sick, was a worker in the ward and stake relief society, acting as councillor to Mrs Mabel Ann flakes in the presi- dency of that organization for a num- Der of years. She was beloved by all of the people here. She leaves a daughter and grand d-daughter, Mrs. Mary Rogers. with whom she has lived for a number of years, and IneZ Will Hams, and Eli Curtis and Jane Thomp- son, who now reside at Mill Creek, Utah.

THE TEMPE DAM.
The Approximate Cost of Its Repair
 Will Exceed S5,000.

During the highest stage of the riv- CT during the recent flood 1t was of course almost impossible to tell with any degree of accuracy just how much damage had occurred to the Tempe dam and the upper end of the canal. It was thought. though, at that time that it would escape serious harm, but as the water began to go down it be came apparent that much more dam age than had been expected had oc- cured. Yesterday Superintendent Crook was at the head and he tells a sorry story of the havoc wrought by the nigh water AS those who are fla miliar with the upper end of the ca nal know, the head of the canal is situated some distance below the dam, the water being conveyed from the river through the headgate by a large channel running parallel with the riv- CT and quite close to it, there being in some places but narrow bank be- tween the canal and the water in the stream. Where the upper end of the channel makes a bend there is what is known as the Harper dam. From
 this point up stream the bank of the channel is entirely missing and where there was formerly quarter of a mile

SACHS RANCH RENTED.

The WoOlf Sachs ranch of 450 acres three miles east of Tempe mas been rented by Chas. Warehouse and Frank Casner, who took possession yesterday. This is one of the best known ranches in the valley and last year produced some of the largest oats ever grown anywhere. The new rent CTS do not claim that they will break and past records, but they propose to get all out of the place that they can and with that end in view have con- tracted to devote a hundred and fifty acres of the ranch to sugar beets Both parties are experienced and sue cessful ranchers, and if next, years crop on the ranch falls below that ot past years it will be through no fault of theirs.

MESA
THANKSGIVING DAY IN MESA.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN MESA. Thanksgiving day was observed in Mesa Thursday. All of the stores were closed and the business men as well as the rest of the people feasted on the Thanksgiving turkey. The shoot the day previous, given by George Schor- nick at the target grounds, scattered quite a number of turkeys over the flat, although some of them brought extravagant prices, yet they were the more appreciated because they were hard to get. It is estimated that he received about $5 per head for his fowls. Family gatherings were the rule of the day, and everybody enjoyed themselves, except the turkey, and if he was inspired at all with the senti- ment of taking pleasure in making others happy he must have been proud yesterday In the afternoon the chill dren gathered in the Mesa opera house, Miss Mabel Pomeroy presiding at the piano, and enjoyed themselves in trip ping the light fantastic toe.

COMMITTEE OF SIXTEEN MEET
 ING WITH FARMERS.

The committee of sixteen held an- other meeting with the farmers under the Utah and Mesa canal yesterday at the city hall and discussed further the proposed plan. The general senti- ment of the people is that they are willing to concede a great deal in view of the fact that the reservoir is going to equalize all differences, rather than face the lawsuit now on with the enor- nous expense that would thereby be entailed, and which would not settle the question until the present owners were in their graves or had become superannuated.

Army Worms Appear.

Monday Mr.. R. G. Lipsey showed us
genuine specimen of the army
worm, together with several speci-
mems of cocoons, webbed up and in
shape to soon develop into the worm.
MIR. Lipsey informs us that he found
these specimens on the Byrd place,
adjoining his plantation in the Rich
land neighborhood, and that already
they were appearing in considerable
numbers. He informs us, too, that
owing to the early appearance Of
these worms, and the succulent con-
dition of the cotton, that 1t is more
than likely that the worms will hatch
out a large crop within a few weeks,
which will do great damage to late
cotton. We also learn that Mr.. D.
H. Hobbs, whose farm is in the north
western part of the county, in the
delta, reports the army worm in his
section.
This bears out the statement we
recently saw in the papers from Capt.
Taylor, of Bentonia, Yazoo County,
who about a month ago reported
that he had seen them on his planta-
ton, and that it was feared that they
would do great damage there.
This news will be received by the
farmers of the county with consider
able apprehension and regrets, since
it seems that cotton, already the VIC
tim of a combination of disastrous
conditions, is yet to be called upon to
face an even more relentless enemy
than all We hesitate to predict
what the result may be when this
great army of worms shall begin to
get in it's terrible work.
