COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE ALL SUPPLIED
The Educational Outlook is Brighter Than Ever.

All the schools of the county are believed to be supplied with teachers, a condition which never before has prevailed so early in the season. Usu- ally up to the last moment before the opening of the country schools many of them have been without teachers.
 But early this year, as long ago as last March, the county school super intendent began receiving inquiries from teachers in all parts of the coun- try regarding conditions here, as to wages and opportunities. These in .quiries continued during the ensuing three months.
 After all, it is not thought that a great proportion of the teachers for the coming year have come from the outside. A large majority of them are native products and many others have been here engaged in teaching for one or more years. It is estimated that fully fifty per cent of the teachers of the graded schools in the towns and country are graduates from the Tempe Normal.
 To the credit of the locally trained teachers the authorities say that it has been demonstrated that their work shows a larger per centage of success than that of those from the outside during their first year here, though some of the best teachers of the coun- ty are those who were educated else where and then came here and famil- iarized themselves with local condi- tionS.
 The grammar schools, especially those of the lower grades, are now said to be in better condition than they

RETURNED FROM SHOOT
 SATISFIED WITH RESULTS
Sheriff Hayden Also Heard Some Pc. litical Prognostications.

Sheriff Hayden, a member of the Arizona rifle team, sent to the national shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio, returned yesterday morning. He is well satis- fled with the result of the competition, for 1t gave Arizona the thirty fifth place in fifty, many of the more popu- lous states with a wider range for a choice of team, falling below it.
 The four branches of the army and navy service naturally made the best showing for two reasons. In the first place there were thousands in each from which to select teams, and in the next place the teams have enjoyed constant practice, not only for this shoot but all the time.
 The feature of the shooting was that of Casey of Deleware, a member of the team sent to take part in the Olympic games.
 The weather at this shoot was not favorable. On account of the constant changes of the air currents no account could be taken of "windage," so that great deal of luck figured in the games.
 After the shoot the sheriff visited different parts of the country. and in some places he heard it casually men toned that there was a possibility of the election of a citizein of Lincoln, Neb., to the presidency of the United States.

 During the day NIT. O'DOnneIl called at this office to emphasize the fact that the Barnm and Bailey circus is lagain giving a parade. But not the old fashioned parade. or anything like it." says MT. O'DOnnell, but something altogether new in its line, which s proving one of the biggest surprises ever sprung by a circus. The entire equipment was built in Europe and 1,5OO people from every corner of the earth take part in it. Circus-goers will recall the brilliant street cpecta cles that this circus used to give. but they are not a marker to this years street display"
 Another big surprise is the midair sOmersault of two automobiles, ad- vertised as Autos that Pass in the Air" When the circus began its sea son at the Madison Square Garden in New York City this act created more talk than any thriller that has gone before.
 Speaking of business. Mir. O'DOnnell . says it is the biggest the show has ever done all along the line. The New York engagement even surpassed that at the London hippodrOme.

l gering as though daZed, everything burned off him above the waist line, except the collar of his shirt. The others followed in more or less sim liar condition. MT. Turney learned however that none of them suffered | injury to their eyesight.
 There are numerous theories as to what exploded and none of them are
 entirely satisfactory with the meager information at hand. Nobody suppos ed there was any gas of any sort in
 the tunnel, but there must have been
 for there was nothing else to explode.
 But what kind of gas is all guesswOrk.
 It seems there was only small
 amount of water running in the pen
 stock and whatever gas it was had col
 lected in the chamber above it instead of being carried out by the usual heavy
 rush of water.
 During the laying of the foundation of the dam and the digging of the tun- nels some seepages from hot springs were noted. Also it has been contend ed by many that there are oil indica- tions in that locality and the sugges- tion has been made that natural gas may have found it's way in there. Still the tunnels are cement lined and one would hardly expect a gas to get in there from such a source. Another theory has been put forth that it might have been marsh gas, brought in by the muddy water of the power canal, providing marsh gas is made by such debris as the dirty water might con- tain All these things are only sug- gestions by one or another and the ex- plosion still remains a mystery, ex- cept that there is ample proof that it occurred.

Demrick is well known in Phoe- nix having been employed on this pro- ject for a long time and being the en- gineer in charge of the construction of ! the electric power transmission line | from Roosevelt to the valley It is | fortunate for all that they were not | more seriously hurt, blinded, or crip- | pied for life.

PLANS ARE FORMED
 FOX A BIGGER PHOENIX
Two Tracts of Land Northeast of the
 City to Be Plated.

City Superintendent of Buildings J NJ. Creighton yesterday applied for a leave of absence and thereby disclosed an incipient enterprise for the promo ton of the growth of Phoenix in a northeasterly direction. MT. Creighton is intending to lay out a tract of land owned by him east of the Pemberton place, into lots and put them on the market. The price of the lots, it is understood, will be $175. It is in con nection with this business that he de- sired to go to Los Angeles for few days and he left last night.
 This tract has about three miles from the city. It is to be called High land addition, though there is already a small division of Dennis addition of that name. Just what the visit to Los Angeles has to do with the matter was not explained.
 It was brought out, however, that General w H. sherman, who owns a tract about a mile further out. is con- templating the laying out of it in city lots and to facilitate the sale of them that he intends to extend the street car line to the tract past the Creigh- ton tract. Whether this extension will be made from the terminus of the Brill line or from the end of the Indian school line is not known. About the same amount of construction would be required in either case.
 Mir. Creighton said. perhaps jOcu- larly, that his intention to convert his farm into city property was form ed suddenly. The latest hot spell came along and found him engaged in build ing a fence across a part of his farm. Until then he was pursuing his task without a murmur but last Saturday he said while the rays of the sun were beating down upon him, it occurred that there was better ways of making money than building fence when the was standing at 1OS in the shade.

FIVE MEN INJURED
 AT ROOSEVELT DAM
Explosion of Gas Sunday Afternoon In Tunnel Leading to the Turbine Water Wheel.

Telephone advicess from Roosevelt yesterday announced briefly the occur
 renee of an explosion in one of the
 tunnels in connection with the pen stock power plant, resulting in the quite serious injury of four men, A. H. Demrick, chief electrician, William
 Harvey who was in charge of the machinery at that point, R. H. Spencer an inspection foreman, and P. A. Crow, an employe of Contractor O'Rourke.
 O. A. Turney who returned from Roosevelt yesterday afternoon gave some further particulars. saying he had heard that there were five men hurt instead of four, though he did not hear the name of the other man. Several hours after the incident he had some business with Mir. Demrick and found him in the hospital, able to sit up and talk business. He was badly burned on the right side of the head the right shoulder and arm and both hands. Two others iR the hospital he said were badly burned on the head, face shoulders, arms and in fact about all over the upper part of the body and though none are believed to be fatally hurt these two seemed to be in pretty bad shape and may have quite lengthy stay in the hospital. Two others he understood to be laborers were not so badly burned but that they went to their own quarters.
 The accident seems hard to account for MT. Turney is not familiar with the underground constructions where it happened but as near as he could gather the story it was in a tunnel leading to the turbine water wheel in the penstock. A person who was out in the open describing the incident to him told him that the five men went in with a lighted candle. A moment thereafter there was a report that was heard for long distance and a sheet Df flame poured out of the tunnel Soon after MT Demrick emerged, stag

They Can Only Go Three Feet Deep.

I know an institution with wide,
rolling fields all about it, says Mabel
Potter Daggett in the November De-
lineator. There are exceptional priv
ileges here. A brook sparkles and
splashes its way through the wood,
and every summer afternoon at the
ringing Of a bell the boys are march
ed down there for a swim. A placid
faced lady to whose care they are en-
trusted selects the locality and they
may not go one bush beyond. "They
dassen't go in only three feet Deep
pityingly explained the farmers boy
who was telling me. Gus fellows
swims nine feet Deep and he trudg-
ed off down the road whistling joy
ously between bites Of a green apple.
There was a lifting note to the tune
and an energetic swing to the should
ers. It takes green apples and swim
ping-holes nine feet deep to make
the best men. They know how to
breast the deep places in life. Over
against this picture I could see hun.
dreds Of boys marching in regular
step, who all through the world are
going to be limited to places three
feet deep. But an institution must
have it's boundaries-if it is bringing
up boys by the wholesale.

The Split Log Road Drag.

There are thousands Of highways
in the rural districts, which while
only being excuses for roads, may be
drag, and it is important to know
that farmers bulletin, just issued by
the Department of Agriculture, gives
a description of the split log road
drag for use on earth roads. The
split log road drag is by no means a
new institution, but this ffteen-page
pamphlet tells why it is sometimes a
failure. For one thing, it is often
made too heavy; it should be light
enough for one man to lift easily.
A dry cedar, elm or walnut log is the
best material for a drag-far better
than oak or hickory. Another mis-
take is in the use of squared timbers
instead Of those with sharp edges,
whereby the cutting effect Of sharp
edges is lost and the drag glides over
instead of equalizing the Irregular
tiles in the surface of the road.
By the. ordinary process Of ditch
cleaning, scraping, ETC., it is estimated
that road improvement costs from
$40 to $50 per mile, while by the use
Of the split log drag and plank ditch
cleaner, ranges from S1.50 to SIS
per mile, and a far better road is the
result.
The advantages to be gained from
the use OF a road drag aye emphasized
in the bulletin thus: First, the main.
teIance OF a smooth, seryiceable earth
road, free from ruts and mudholes
Second, obtaining such road surfacs
with the expenditure Of little money
and labor in comparison with the
money and labor required for Other
methods. Third, the reduction O.
mud in wet weather and of dust il
dry weather. This publication

Roads Doomed by Autos

IN
T,ogan Waller Page, director OF the
Office of Public Roads OF the Departs
ment OF Agriculture. commissioned
by President Roosevelt, is on MS way
TO trance to tell the highway engl-
nesrs Of the world what, in his opin-
Ion. the automobile is doing
adam thoroughfores and what should
be done to counterfeit its destructive
effects.
President Roosevelt summoned Di-
rector Page to the White House q
conferred with him about this nign-
way problems He learned that an al
most incalculable amount OF damage
was being done daily, and then ne
informed the director that it was his
wish that the United States be strong
ly represented at the coming interna-
tioEal road congress in Paris, and
| asked for the I'M Of two other ex-
| perts. Mr.. Page named Coionel
| Charles S. Bromwell, superintendent
OF buildings and grounds OF the Dis
| tr;ct. and Clifford Richardson, an
authority on bituminous road ma
terial. They were appointed, and Mr..
Page was made chairman OF the dele
cation.
Although this congress will not as
semble at Paris until October IL, Dl-
rector Page decided to sail somewhat
early to inspect some of the roads OF
England, Germany and France before
the congress is called to order. He
wished to see if the speeding automo-
biles worked the same damage there
as they do here and study the rem
edial work that is being done. Here
, he has learned that by the tractive
force of the rubber tires of the speed
ing motor cars the surface binding
dust of rock roads is drawn from its
resting place and is sent sWirling 60
the adjacent fields.
Inasmuch as the integrity OF the
lmacadam road rests absolutely in
this rock dust, which acts as a bind
ling and s~urfacing crust, a dissipating
of the surface leaves the road nothing
but a mass OF loose, round stones.
1.-The tests on the Conduit road, near
Washington, D. c., prove this conten'
ltion absolutely, and he carries with
him a collection Of photographs taken
during the progress of those tests
These pictures will be submitted tt
the congress.
The greater question that will arise
will be how to overcome the effect Of
automobile traffic on hard roads with
out restricting the automobile or pre-
renting it's development.
Two solutions there are to tina
gu estion: One, to find a material o
which roads may be made which ere
ates no dust. or. secondly, to SO trea
the roads already constructed tina
the dust will be retained upon them
That, CT course, is now being don
