RoadIess America in Transformation

RoadIess America in Transformation.
 From the maledictions scattered broadcast in the mire of roadless Am erica by despairing bicyclists fefteen Years ago hopes of better things have taken root. So writes c. F. Carter in the August Technical World Magazine. No gift of prophecy is now required to foresee time when these hopes will have so far materialized that a team, if it is a good one, will be able to haul an empty wagon over the gumbo roads of the Mississippi valley in spring. and the public highways of the south will be so well buoyed that light draught automobiles may navigate them in comparative safety.
 From every part of the country comes the same encouraging news. Sixteen states now have highway com missions that are trying in various ways to supply the greatest need of the nation. which is good roads. At one extreme is New York, which. in 1905, voted to expend fifty million dol lars in building roads. Under the plan adopted the state will build and main tain 3,332 miles connecting the princi- pal cities, and pay one-half the cost of 4,700 miles of local roads to be built by the counties.
 At the other extreme is Iowa, the third state in the Union in extent of road mileage, where the use of the public highways is so vast that if teams enough could be assembled to do in one day all the travelling done in the state in q year the line would reach once and a half around the earth, which doles out an annual ap- propriation of S5,0OO to defray the expenses of the state college faculty while acting in the capacity of high way commission. With this introduc tion the author writes of what is being done and what can be. done to trans form roadless America and the article is illustrated with fine photographs.

large and enthusiastic audience wit messed this stirring western frontier play, which had for its setting a mill itary barracks, being characteristic throughout of love at an army post.
 The/ military bearing given in the play Was exceptionally fine. The two new members of the company, Miss Adelaide Knight and Russell Lee Bar rett, showed a high conception of dra- matic action and pleased the audience. Miss Knight has played in the Royal theater in Berlin. Germany, and acts splendidly in German as well as in English, and has been a member of company of actors and actresses dir ectly under the patronage of the Kaiser

THE TELLURIUM MINING COM
 PANY

The Tellurium Mining company, whose claims are located about sixty five miles northeast of Mesa, has prac- tically let a contract for the develop ment at the mines to F. l.. Griffin. who is an experienced mining man and who halls from this city, though for the past year he has been experimenting similar work at the mines at Globe
 The property has been worked to a depth of twelve feet on the main ledge. at which point ore was encount- cred which assayed $63OO to the ton. It is a gold property and it is the plan of the company to have the ores treated by smelting process. The ledge from which this orc was taken in- creases considerably in width as the shaft is sunk, and the indications are that there is the making of a splendid mine there. MT Griffin will assume charge of the development work on the Tellurfum properties at once.

in the July Appleton's. Tt was these people indirectly who brought it on. It was these people who suffered more when it came. The laws of nature are iron in their retribution. The man who is earning thirty dollars a week and spending fifteen dollars does not fear panics. Neither does the man who is earning fifty thousand dollars a year and spending twenty-five thous- and dollars. Sailors who do not know how to reef their sails would be at the mercy of squalls. People who do not know how to cut down their ex- penses are at the mercy of panics. A certain rich New Yorker who retired from the Stock Exchange recently, started business forty years ago with three friends. When times were pros porous he could not afford to live as well as they did. When times were hard they had to borrow money of him in order to live at all."

THE REORGANIZATION
 MfSA'S COMP ANY D
A Meeting for That Purpose to be Held Tonight.

It is now quite evident that Mesa is coming to the front in the matter of the reorganization of Company D, N. G. A, and an enthusiastic meeting for this purpose will be held this evening at the Mesa opera house, at which time spirited talks will be made on military matters. 4 canvass among those eligible to the new company has been made, and more than a sufficient number has expressed a willingness to become members of the new organiza- tion.
 Ellis Johnson states that practically all of the members of the Gem City band have expressed their desire to enter the organization in a body. and by this means Mesa will be afforded a regimental band, as well as a mili- tary company. It has been learned that both Buckeye and Jerome made an application for the possession of Company D, should the boys fail to get together on the proposition here However, there seems to be but little chance for these outside candidates to obtain the company. as a great deal of interest is now being manifested in the movement. and tonight at the close of the meeting will in all proba- bility see the completed organization of Company D.

"BURIED" IN OORFA

Years ago oue of the brightest pupils in the normal school at South Framing ham, Mass, started for the interior of Turkey, where, as some said. she buried" herself in the ancient city of Ooorfa midway between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers This bright pupil, Miss Corinna Shattuck, is now a mid woman, and it would be diff ficult to find a more active, more pro- gressive. or happier person in the sul- tan's whole domains. During the years of her "burial'' she has managed to establish educational and industrial plants which are an amaZement to the few travellers who ever penetrate to that remote part of the world. Among other things She has started four shops iu 'he-city where the Armenian orphan boys are iaDght to be carpenters, cab ipct makers, smiths, tailors and shoe makers. r he work is done between school hours and during the evening. thus combining manual and mentel training after the most approved mod
 ern methods. The superior workman slup in the iron shop has brought the patronage of the owners of a large rug factory in Oorfa who had oeen oblig- e1 10 send tG Aleppo, five day's dis tant. whenever their machinery needed repairs One farm boy has recently returned from Marash where he spent year stud'ng with an American a5rl- cultural college. Now, with a pair of good work horses, he says he is busy turning up the soil that never saw the sun nefore,' and so preparing for bet ter fields year hence. He has two American riows, a cultivator and q seed -sowor What would Abraham have said to such implements! This is a fair sample of what foreign mis- sions are doing in industrial education.

There is a large number of Spanish Americans at Granite Reef and vicinity At a meeting held last Sunday committees were appointed for the work of prep
 aration. The day has usually been celebrated in Phoenix, but this year the patriotism of the Mexican resi- dents was spent on the Fourth of July.

VERDICT OF INQUEST
 IN THE FISHER CASE
It Was Also Brought Out That the Deceased Had Two Names.

The final verdict of the inquest held on Monday last over the remains of NJ r. Fisher whose death occurred at TOrtiIIo Flats on Sunday evening last, after a boxing bout, was to the effect that the deceased came to his death from acute hemorrhagis pancreatitiis. This, however, cannot be directly sc- counted for as coming from a blow re- ceived during the boxing match which the man had engaged in a few hours previous to his demise. The evidence adduced was all to the effect that the boxing contest was nothing more than q friendly affair. and at no time was there any indications of anger or mal- ice exercised by any of the partici- pants.
 The dead man was known here as Bert F'rasier, but it has been learned later that he was called by the name of NJ P Fisher at the transmission camp where he was employed. But at the present time it is not Infinitely known which of these two names are correct. An effort has been made to locate his parents. However, these have not been heard from.

CHAPTER w.
The Whip of the Blast.

Deep in small gulch, the red earth
bleeding through it's torn mantle.
crouched raw little railroad town.
Cabins, tents, huts, lean-tos propped
against trees, scraps of shops, false
fronted stores and ''ginmills'' huddled
new and painless between the clasp
ing hills.
1t was an hour before noon when a
slender little engine, with spiderv
wheels and huge, overlapping smoke
stack, pulled into the rude shed that
was hung up on the mountain side
above the town and called by courtesy
depot.
A man paced the boards nervously,
impatient at the sacrifice of time re-
CURED to meet so indefinite a person
age as a elegram-introduced young
man in our employ who wishes to see
your work" The restless man was
George Gregory, superintendent of con-
struction, the human engine that exc
cuted the commands of the officers at
Sacramento. Alfred presented a letter
from the governor, a magic bit of pa
per that arrested even George Greg
ory's lurid thoughts at the sight of
this "dandified ballroom cublet."
The atmosphere was decidedly clear
er when the superintendent looked UP
from the letter. When will you be
ready to go over the grading, Mr.. Vim
cent? I'll have your horse sent any
time you say after dinner"
After dinner, sir? The train leaves
at two o'clock, doesn't it?"
Yes; but you'll not go back to-day,
will you?"
Cant 1 get to the Front and back
by two?"
No, not to the Front; yet you can
see nearly all of the completed grade
If you start at once. YOU miss your
dinner, though
Il don't wish to incommode you, sir
Could not some other person conduct
me? Dinner is unimportant. l must
return to-day if possible"
A shade of appreciation crept into
the superintendent keen glance
Very well, Mr.. Vincent I'll have
| your horse in ten minutes. You ride:
Our stock is cantankerous at times"
Il ride little; if not well enough
I'll have to walk
''Plucky!" thought the older man, as
he dispatched messenger for Alfred's
horse and employed the wait in send
ing kilograms to the Sacramento Office
Meantime Alfred wrote a short note

The boy barely halted and was at
the dining room door when Gregory
came out.
What's the racket, ALP" he said "a

thickly, his mouth full of fast dis
appearing apple.
The message was brief; and his
comment was an explosion of oaths
Yet the boy grinned. 1t was glad pro-

1t was reported last week in the
ted States consul in Hardin, Manchu-
ria, had refused to recognize the presi-
dent of the municipal council in that
city, on the ground that the president
was appointed by Russia. His action
has precipitated a discussion in the
foreign Offices of the world of the
open-door question in China. Accord
ing to the treaty of Portsmouth, both
Russia and Japan agreed to evacuate
Manchuria, leaving the province to the
Chinese. The American consul is ac-
credited to China, and refuses to rec
ognize any other governmental author
ity. The Russians have not with
drawn, neither have the Japanese, and
new government for Hardin was
lately arranged in such a way as to
give to Russia the control. But the
American consul, acting under n
structions from home, insists that
Russia has no more right than Ameri-
ca or France or Germany to name
municipal officers in Hardin. 1t is evil
dent that the government in Wash
ington expects both Japan and Russia
to keep their word given at Ports
mouth. If its expectation is expressed
with sufficient emphasis, 1t is likely
that the rights of China will be con-
siderably advanced and the friendship
between the Chinese and the Ameri.
cans more firmly cemented.
