There is a demand for good boys.
The boy who is honest, earnest and
industrious, will not be long out OF
a job. There are lots of prosper
Gus business men, merchants and
mechanics who are constantly on
the outlook for good boys. They
do not look for them on the streets,
however, but in some kind of en-
ployment. They have no use for
an idle boy. He is too apt to make
an idle man. The boy that jumps
into the first job that offers, wheth-
er it is agreeable or not, is the boy
who is chosen when the boy-hunt-
er comes along. The boy trundling
a wheel barrow is taken, while the
boy playing marbles in the shade is
left; the boy cheerfully minding
the baby on the front step is invit-
ed to put on a boys suit, while the
one playing hooky is refused a
place to drive a dirt cart.

believed there mad been a mistake made which could be easily and amica ply corrected with the cooperation of the Pacific Gas and Electric company. and that in no way was it to be con strued that any reflection is made on the integrity of any member of the re- clamation service.
 All that was finally accomplished by the meeting was to leave the matter in the hands of the mayor and one direc- tor of the club, to be hereafter named. to call upon MT. Ensign. manager of the company. and talk things over.
 MT. Yaeger in a conversation last evening stated that there was nothing for the people of Phoenix to worry about. He believed that when the proper time arrived the company would do what is right. Now that the matter has come up it should be fully inquir- ed into but there seems to be no occa- sion for any haste in the premises. It will take little time to inquire into the cost of the electric lighting in sim ilarly situated cities and as the mayor remarked in opening the council meet ing, the contract is already signed. though for the present imperative and there Is nothing to get excited over, even if some changes should be found to be desirable.

CLUB CONFERENCE
 WITH CITY COUNCIL
Nothing Done Last Night Except to Request the Mayor and One Other to Call or Mir. Ensign.

At the request of the directors of the Maricopa County Commercial club, Mayor Coggins called a special meet ing of the city council last evening for consideration of the contract between the government and the Pacific Gas and Electric Light company that has been the subject of so much discussion recently. Immediately on convening and the stating of the purpose of the meeting. c. H. Davidson announced that he had been delegated by the club to appear before the council and ask the appointment of committee, Of which the mayor should be a mem Der, to confer immediately with the di- rectors of the club. who were then in waiting in the club rooms. The ordi- nance committee was appointed and later at the suggestion of MT. Marshall the council went as a committee of the whole. to the club rooms. MT. Ensign was present in the council chamber but was not invited to meet with the committee.
 As far as could be learned the meet ing was a very pleasant and harmo- nious one. All that was said was re- petition of what has been printed. to the effect that some Of the gentlemen
