A number of the lady friends of Mrs. Mark Redden pleasantly surprised her Wednesday by dropping in for the day unexpectedly. Each guest brought along a contribution toward a sump- tuous repast which was thoroughly en- joyed by all partaking of it. The party was a surprise in two ways. When Mrs. Redden returned from California, where she spent the sum- mer, she brought with her a ''tanky'' bag, much in style in California at the present time among the ladies. She made an effort to institute the style in Tempe, but all appearances indi- cated that the seed had been sown on barren soil. She failed to see any result of her labors. Her second sur prise came then. when upon the arriv- al of the guests. she noted that each wore with pride a ''tanky" bag.

THE MATTER OF ROADS.
How a Good Road is Many Times
 Made Poor.

Notwithstanding what was said a few days ago complimentary to the Mesa road overseer regarding the con- dition of the roads in his district. complaint is made by Tempe man who travels daily over certain portions of the road in that district, that along the M. e r. track a stream of not less than twenty-five inches of wa ter has been running from the Utah canal into the public road for five days up to yesterday noon and not the slightest effort had been made to stop it by the road overseer, the canal zanjero or anyone else. It is just such conditions that tend to make good roads bad, and just so long as such conditions exist there will be public roads that reflect no credit upon the district in which they are located. It is time that the south side as whole and Tempe in particular. should awak- en to the fact that good public roads will enhance the value of property. It may be said to the credit of the Tempe overseer that work has already been started on several different sec tions of roads that are in bad shape, all of which is a move in the right direction and it is to be hoped that the good work will continue.
 In this matter of good roads, the farmer and water user should feel his responsibility. 4 great many times flooded roads are the direct result of carelessness on the part of the man using the water. He neglects to have his ditches in good shape while he is using the water and then, when there is no water in the ditch he fails to do d few minutes work. that perhaps would save lot of bad road next time he used the water.

MESA
SELECTED THE SOUTH PLAZA.

At the mass meeting held by the tax payers of school district No. 4. which includes Mesa City. it was decided to ask the town council to give a lease for 99 years on four acres of the south plaza for the use of the high schoo:. This ground will be offered at the general mass meeting to be held at the opera house, Saturday afternoon, at which time the location of the build ing will be definitely decided upon.
 Hon. Charles Peterson presided at the meeting and George s. Irwin was made secretary. The latter presented the plaza proposition. which was fav- ored by Messrs. J. D. Loper, J. l.. Waring. C. $. Steward, George w. SilverthorR. and others, in short speeches. A motion to ask the coun- cil to lease the east half of the plaza was carried by an almost unanimous vote. Councilman Lewis was present and stated that he would not vote for the lease unless petition signed by at least 60 per cent of the taxpayers of the town was presented to the Coun- cil. A committee consisting of J. D.. Loper. George Johnson, Isaac Dana and Charles F. Jones. was appointed to cir culate such petition. Two locations outside the city were offered at Sl200 and sI50o each. but no action was talk en. as q majority favored the plaza location. Yesterday the committee on petition circulated among the business men of the town, and fully ninety per cent of them signed up. asking the town to set aside the ground for the new building. If this action is sus- tained at the meeting Saturday, the

Just as the doctors began to think that they had the diphtheria stamped out. two other cases were reported yes- terday-one at the residence of Bob Brown, three miles east of town, and one at the home of w.

THE SKATING RINK.

Goodwin's skating rink is now open for the winter season and is enjoying good patronage. The alterations in the hall have enlarged the skating area to some extent, and spectators are no longer in the way of skaters. but are on the stage, where they can get a better view of the sport and at the same time be out of danger. The same hours, rules and prices will pre- vail this year that were in force last season. The rink will be open every evening excepting Sunday from 7:30 until 10:30 and Friday and Saturday afternoons from 2:30 until 5:30. Fri day afternoons will be devoted exclu- sively to ladies and children. A plan is on foot to organize a polo team. which after it's organization and a

No business college could offer a better more efficient course. and the past success is but a faint sign of what the future will show.
