BAND CONCERTS ON
 SATURDAY EVENINGS
That Day Has Been Chosen As the
 Most Convenient For All Concerned

At meeting of the members of the Gem City band. which was held in the Mesa opera house on Tuesday evening. it was finally decided that the evening concerts by this organization will from now on be given on Saturday even ings.
 At a previous meeting, when the subject came before the members it was thought best to change these en- tertainments from Saturday to Sun day. because of the fact that several of the boys were employed and found it very difficult to get away from their work at an early hour on this particu- lar evening, which necessitated the beginning quite late. But up- on the decision being made in favor of Sunday. it was found that several of the members could not be present at all. hence the decision was made in favor of Saturday evenings.

THE NEW TELEPHONE
 OFFICE DECIDED UPON
The Company Has Secured Rooms m
 the Barnett Building on the Second Floor.

During the first of the week, ar engagements were perfected for the re- moval of the local telephone office which for sometime past has been To- cated in the corner building on Main street known as Growers Place, but owing to the increase of business at this establishment, and lack of room to even accommodate the patrons there. it has been found necessary to change the location of the switch board and telephone apparatus to some other building in the city.
 Mir Hinchcliffe, general manager Of the Telephone company. with head quarters in Tucson, was in Mesa last week, in order to look over the situa- ton here, and came to the conclusion change was required, but at that time, it was thought by all concerned that the removal could be delayed un- til the completion of the new Chan dler block here, upon which cOnstruc- ton work has been begun. Later this was not deemed advisable, and the two southwest rooms in the second story of the Barnett building will be occu- pied by the exchange.
 MISS DuTlt, NnO O1Nh III Niebi oN of the exchange here since the install- ation of the board in its present loca- tion. is a most efficient operator, is obliging. and has at all times given the best of satisfaction to the patrons here. and in all probability she will continue to occupy the position of local operator as ii Is said among the telephone sub scribers here that a more capable operator could not be secured.
 The business of the company is rap idly increasing, and it is hoped that the management will see its way clear to install a new switch board at the time the removal takes place. It is expected that the change will have been completed by September 1st, as workmen will arrive here shortly to take charge of the work, and installing the telephone equipment.

USE OF MOTORCYCLES
 ON RURAL ROUTES
Government Seeks Information Con cerning Their PracticabiIity.

Post Master Mullen has received a letter from the post office department asking for information on the use of motorcycles on rural routes. The de- partment wants to know a good deal about the matter, how much the ma chine costs in the first place; what the expense of running it on the route is per month and what the monthly re- pair bill amounts to. Also how much time is consumed on the route by use of the machine and how much time is saved by its use instead of a horse and wagon. Further how much of the year a machine can be used and how many successive days it has been in use. The department also wishes to know whether or not the use of a motor here is regarded as a success and whether or not the service is sat isfactOry with its use.
 The postmaster and the carrier on No. ?, who has been using machine for the past ten months, got their heads together and replied to the de- partment somewhat as follows; the ex- pense for gasoline per month averages three dollars, with gasoline at forty cents per gallon, which is about twice what it costs in other places. The time consumed on the route is about half what is required with a rig and the machine is available at this place at all times of the year. In fact, out of the ten months use, a rig has been used but ten times, an average of once a month on account of wet weather, though there was one period when the

SAILS UNDER ASSUMED NAME
Madame Anna Gould and Children En-
Route to America.

Paris, March 13.-It became known
here that Madame Anna Gould, who
sailed for New York on the steamer
Adriatic, booked her passage on that
vessel under the name of Miller. She
had originally taken passage for her
self and her children on the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm, but changed her plans
at the last moment. Although she
had the written consent of her former
husband, Count Boni de Castellane, to
take the children out of France she
adopted the ruse of changing steamers
and using an assumed name in case
the count should attempt at the last
moment to prevent the childrens de-
parture. Count Boni had been under
the impression that Madame Gould
and the children were on board the
Kron Prinz Wilhelm and telegraphed
his greetings to the children in care
of that steamer.

NEW EASTWARD RECORD.
Steamer Mauritania Reduces Her
Former Time.

Queenstown, March 13.-The steam
or Mauritania has established new
transatlantic record by beating her
own best previous eastward record by
two hours and thirty-six minutes. Her
time on this trip was days and 5
minutes. She travelled over the long
route, the total distance traversed be-
ing 1882 knots.
The average of knots an hour for
the whole trip was pap, as against
her own previous record of 1890. The
best eastward daily average of the
Lusitania is 1882. The best days run
was 575 knots, with an average of
PATTI an hour. This has been equaled
previously, however, for on Jan. 20
the Mauritania covered the same dis
lance in day while bound east.
The high average run an hour by
the German transatlantic liners is
1855 This was made by the Kaiser
Wilhelm II.

that the law was unconstitutional and

CRUISE A GREAT SUCCESS
Voyage of BattIeshp Fleet Up to
Expectations.

Washington, March ia feeling
of genuine satisfaction prevails at the
navy department over the news of the
arrival of the battleship feet at Mag
dalena bay, the last stopping place of
any length of time before the vessels
reach San Francisco The fleet has
now covered the last long leg in the
long voyage on which it originally
started, the itinerary to San Fran
cisco from Magdalena bay contemplate
ing a number of stops en- route. Taken
primarily as a practice cruise the vOy-
age has come up to expectations and
ample and repeated opportunities
have been afforded for drills, evolu-
lions and other naval tactics as well
as opportunities for careful and exact
ing seamanship in waters new to many
American naval men. Above all the
fleet practically has finished the trip
without an untoward incident of con-
sequence and has arrived at Magda-
lena bay over three days ahead of her
schedule time. Naval officials say
there is genuine cause for congratula-
ton over the manner in which the
fleet has completed it's voyage.
