MESA
STREET ENVIRONMENTS

The work of putting in the new ce- ment culverts on Mcdonald Street, at the intersection of Main Street. is pro- gressing rapidly. The one on the east side of the street has been completed and the top laid with heavy board blanks. and the one on the opposite side of the street is nearing cOmple- ton. The work is first class in every particular. New cement gutters have also been put in on Main street and for some distance on Mcdonald. These in connection with the culverts, will afford the streets of Mesa a bet ter drainage system than it has ever had before. Several property owners have had cement sidewalks laid in front of their property, besides one laid by the city in front of the pub lie park near the old Santa Fe depot. Street crossings four feet wide made of the same material are also being put in on the principal streets.

loose before it could be removed with scrapers. In one or two instances, powder was necessary. As the work of enlarging the canal progressed, car penters were busily engaged in con- structing the gates at the new head ing. No time was lost for by the time the canal was ready for water, the gates were completed. As soon as the work was finished and water turned in the canal, the force of men and teams were split, part of them going to the dam and part remaining to fin
 ish the Hayden ditch from the head to the ditch a little over half a mile west. The work of repairing the dam has gone along rapidly and 1t is thought that the canal will be carrying a full head of water today. It may be a few days before the Hayden ditch is com pleted but there is no particular hurry about that part Of the work as the wa ter for the ditch is being conveyed through the original head and will be so carried until the cutoff is completed.
 It is generally conceded by the stockholders that the change, now that it has been made, is one of advantage. It means a saving of ditch cleaning and also a saving of water. During the progress of the work a number of Phoenix people visited the scene of operation among them Judge Kent. He expressed himself as much pleased with the work and the effort that Tempe people were making toward saving water. It is obvious that when the water of the system can be carried as far as possible in one stream in- stead of three, there is a saving in evaporation. This does not mean great deal at this time of the year when there is plenty of water, but during the summer months when wa ter is scarce it is something of an item. The main canal from the head

Langston was not made at such dis trict meeting but his employment will probably be allowed to come under a provision of the law allowing the board to incur necessary expenses.
 As to the pay of the election officers, that is not a material matter and the action was brought as a test case; school election officers had never re- ceived pay for their services in this county. But the ease of the truant of ficer is different and the members of the board will probably be compelled to pay him for the time he served.

SCHOOL BOARD LOSES
 IN MANDAMUS CASE
Neither Election Officers Nor Truant Officers Are Entitled to Pay.

Judge Kent yesterday sustained a demurrer to the application of w. C. Dawes and other members of the Phoenix school board for d writ of mandamus to compel County School Superintendent Fulton to issue war rants for the payment of the officers who served at a school election and also 10 pay the salary of, John Slank ard who had been employed by the board as a truant officer at d salary of $50 d month. He had served two weeks when the question of the salary was raised.
 The application was dismissed. It was held by the court in sustaining the demurrer that there was no authoriza- tion in law for either of these propos- ed expenditures. Though the school law provides for the gathering up of truant children, that duty is left in the hands of the sheriff and peace officers but no remuneration is provided.
 This case is followed hS another re- garding the expenditure of school money growing out of this action. That is concerning the fee of Judge Langston who had been employed by the board to prosecute the case. Though the employment of counsel was slightly irregular it is said that the district attorney will recommend the payment of the fee. The school law which specifics certain functions of the board but there are others con corning which the board was to re- ceive instruction at regularly called district meetings. One of these relates' to the prosecution compromising for settlement of litigation in which the board may be engaged or may be about to engage. The arrangement with Judge

A DEVILS JOKE.

C. w. Miller experienced several hours of intense excitement yesterday afternoon. The day before he had ac- commOdated a tramp printer with a days work and yesterday he missed the city warrant book from its accus- toned place. It had in it several war rants that were filled out and ready for payment. From other circum- stances, Mir. Miller felt quite confident that the printer was responsible for the sudden disappearance of the book Though there was no possibility of the warrants being cashed, Mir. Miller noti- fled the banks and business houses in the hope that the printer might be apprehended and went to considerable other trouble over the matter. Dur ing the afternoon the News devil ex- tracted the book from behind a picture on the wall where he had carefully placed it the day before.

The work of enlarging the Tempe canal from the former head of the Western Branch to the Double Bridges, was completed the middle of last week and the water for the Western Branch and the Southern Branch now runs in one canal to the bridges where the new head has been made and where shortly the Hayden ditch will also head, making the three canals in one to that point instead of three as has been the case since the system was originally established years ago.
 Making the change was no small un- dertaking and big force of men and teams was kept busy during the pro gross of the work. It was more of q task than was anticipated for the work of enlarging the main canal was diff cult.
