Settled the Whole QUESTION.

Rev. William Carter discussed at n
dinner in New York his successful ex-
pertinent of conducting services in the
Belasco theater "One of my theater
auditors" he said, was Scot from
PEBBLES. This Scot told me that the
sight of clergyman in a theater re-
minded him of an experience he once
had in London. He went TO a melo-
drama at Drury Lane. A man in front
of him looked familiar. To his sur
prise he recognized in this man his
minister at PEBBLES. He leaned for
ward and laid his hand on the minis
ter's black coat. Oh, DR.. Saunders
Mcintosh he whispered. what wad
the people in the auld kirk say If |
tell't them | saw We here?' Deed,
they wadna believe ye,' Dr. s. unders
answered quickly, and We nee,lna tell
'hem'"

More Advice.

Ought man in politics to be com
municative or silent?" asked the
young man who is learning the states
manship business.
'Well,r answered Senator Sorghum
he should not go TO an extreme eth
er way. The man who wants tc
tell all he knows becomes bore
and the man who seems afraid tc
tell anything he knows becomes a.
object Of suspicion"

MESA
BOND ELECTION CARRIED.
Residents of Mesa and Vicinity De- earle Themselves in Favor of
 High Education.

Tn the eelction held Saturday at the town hall in the Mesa precinct to de- eide whether the people liping in the five districts composed of Jordan. Chandler. Lehi, Alma and Mesa, want ed a bond issue of S45,0OO for the building Of joint high school build ing, there were one hundred and sixty eight votes cast. one hundred and six ty-five votes being for the bonds, and three against.
 There was little excitement over the proposition on account of it's being a One-sided affair. Prom the first it has been evident that any reasonable bond issue would carry with a whoop. The enthusiasm was high enough but on account of it's all being one way re- suits for the small number of votes cast.
 The bonds are 10 be to the amount of $45,000, of the denomination of s1,- 0G0 each, bearing interest at the rate of per cent per annum and to run for a period of twenty years from the date of issue.
 Without doubt these bonds will have g ready sale on the open market and should be able to demand liberal premium. They will be backed uD by one O. the best and most steadily in- creasing farm valuation in the west. While there have been no actual bids it is safe to say that they will be com ing in soon.
 The trustees recently elected: c. w. Silverthorn, J. T. Lesueur, J. w. Clark, A. J. Houston ard A. B. Brown, are men of business qualifications and judgment who can be entrusted with the responsibility of carrying on the building of the high school and the beautifying Of the grounds.
 While the plans and specifications have not been drawn it is prorably safe to say that the building will be a one story affair and after the old mission style. It is planned to have a large

REAL ESTATE MEN IN.
Mesa Land Peddlers Are Willing to Cooperate with Maricopa County
 Board.

At a meeting of the Mesa real es- tate men t was unanimously decided that they would unite with the Mari copa County Board of Trade in sending a man to Los Angeles for the purpose of telling the people who land there of some of the advantages of the Salt river valle-- and try and induce them to come tO these parts and take a look over the country
 While the proposition is still in the making ard has not been definitely settled yet D~. Chandler has the prox- ies of the Mesa land peddlers and he will go into the county convention pledged to the support of the Los An geles office
 sWhlle there are a good many plans for the bringing people to this part Of the country from Los Angeles. one of the more feasible ones seems 10 be to get the railroad to put on sleep CTS once a week from Los Angeles to Phoenix. As it now is a long wait is always encountered at Ash Fork or Maricopa and the sleeper accommoda- tions are sometimes not considered as good as they be provided a through car was furnished. It is a well known fact that thousands of homeseekers find their way into Los Angeles every week and learn that land any where near the city is almost too dear for a man not recognized by Dunn or Bradstreet. The consequence is that they begin to look elsewhere for a To- cation. Many of these homeseekers are being rushed into the San Joa- quin valley while others are brought to the Imperial valley. The question IS, Why does the Salt river valley not get a portion of these people wanting homes?" It is a proven fact that lands are more fertile and climate more con uucuVe to the growing of crops than anything boasted of in California. but Maricopa county has never introduced herself. It is this introduction that the Maricopa board is seeking to work up.

Convenience is one of the things which the trustees have in mind while they are going to look out for the comfo-t and pleasantness of the structure. It is the intention to make the grounds the most beautiful in the city and make provisions so that they will remain so. The building is to be placed on the northeast one fourth of the South Plaza, while ample grounds will be laid off to accommo- date as many pupils as will need to be accommodated.
 The most meritorious feature about the election held Saturday is the man. ner in which the voters of the five districts united on the question of ed ucation. There are few men but what realize that their education might have been better and there are few men but what want to see their children have better educational advantages than that which they enjoyed. However the true test ot 9 mans real opinion is when It strikes him in the region of his pocketbook But Mesa has been weighed in that balance and she has been found to the good by a ration of one hundred and siXty-five to three

Mississippi. He at the time was a at the college and how he became in- spired to write his immortal anthem is an interesting one.
 It chanced that some twenty years later Mir. HOdnett was called upon to accept the same position in the college that MT. Randall had held, namely, the chair of English literature and classics. In so doing il also happened that he occupied the identical desk upon which was written the great song. Knowing of this MT. Hodnett suggest ed to the trustees that the desk be given to the State Historical Society. In his mind it was relic oi too much importance and value to be merely used in school room. The trustees of the institution. however. did not sec fit to act upon MT. Hodnetts sugges- tiOn, ana the result is that a few years ago the college was burned to the ground and what would have been re- garded as one of the most cherished articles in the collection of the so- ciety was lost
 IL is now MT. Hodnett's greatest wish that a monument be erected to the memory of MT. Randall and with that end in view he proposes to use all the influence possible to gain the point.
 The words of the song as they were originally written by MT. Randall fol- low:

But Mesa Had the Best of It All the
 Way Through.

The ball game yesterday afternoon between the Mesa Grays and the Phoenix All Stars came to an end dur ing the first half of the eighth in- ming on account of the rain. At that time. however, Nle score stood twelve to three in favor of the south side team and it is not probable that it would have been materially changed had the game gone on to a conclusion.
 While it Vas not the best game of baseball seen on the Tempe grounds, it furnished enter tainment for a good sized crowd. The game was umpired in very satisfactory manner by Chris Sigala.
