Washington, d. C., Jan. 2i.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has spread some
thing little short OF dismay In
army and West Point circles. In a
letter addressed 10 re secretary
Of war he attacks. which char tctcr-
istic vigor and dlrectness. the course
Of study at the military academy as
impractical and. in sense. made
quate for the education Of army nfIl.
GERS. lie directs that the curricl
lum of the academy be changed to
conform to what may be regarded
as the needs of army officer.
The presidents special aversion
In the course of study is the time
devoted to mathematics. lie ex-
presses. in his letter. the belief that
altogether too much weight is given
in the course at the military acade-
my to mathematics. He realize that
for officers of the corps of engi.
neers and for ordinance officers
thorough training In mathematics
may be essential. hut he insists
that for the army officers. as a
rule, the course In that study pursued
at the academy is altogether too
technical and too extended. He
makes 1t clear that the training re-
oeiyed by cadet at West Point
ought particularly to tit him for
work In the field with troops. He
does not decry mathematics as n
whole. but Is of the opinion that
the course as now provided in that
branch Is prolonged unnaturally and
unnecessarily. lie directs that more
time be devoted to study of the
modern languages and insists that
the cadets knowledge of French.
German and Spanish shall be, not
of the book order, alone, but of a
kind that will enable him to con.
verse In those languages. He directs.
also. that the cadets be trained thor
may be able not only to ride any
horse they may be called on to
mount. but that they shall know
how to care for horses. He wants
the graduates OF the academy to be
trained thoroughly as fighting men.
who will be OF the utmost advantage
to the country IT, In any circum.
stances. they should be called into
actual warfare.
The presidents letter created a
furore In army circles. Superlntend.
ent Scott of the West Point academy
was called to Washington to con.
slider the matter with officials of
the war department. Inasmuch as
the letter of the president is an or.
der, Colonel Scott will not discuss It
for publication. but 1t Is plain that
he Is embarrassed. Army officers
regard the order as very serious
innovation that is likely TO impair
the usefulness OF the academy. They
point to the fact that mathematics
Is pursued not merely for the prac.
tical knowledge to be obtained from
the study. but for the training men
tally the cadet receives in follow.
ing the course presented in the cur
riculum They insist. too that
thorough KNOWLEDGE of mathematics
is necessary TO an army officers
training from the view point of prac-
ticability and that to curtail the course
of study in mathematics at West
Point would be a great mistake.
OF course, no immediate change

THE ANNIVERSARY
 OF PYTH|AN KNIGHTS
The Framing of the Order to Be ceIe-
 brated Nov. 23.

Plans are under way by the members of Damron lodge No. 19. Knights of Pythias, to fittingly celebrate the founding of the order and they propose to make the occasion one long to be re- membered.
 It is proposed to prepare a fitting musical program as well as provide a sumptuOus spread following the rendi- tion of the program. At the meeting on Monday evening of the members of the lodge the plans for the celebration were formulated and different com mittees were appointed to get things in readiness for the entertainment which will be held Monday evening Novem- Der 23rd, which is the next regular meeting night of the lodge. The an niversary, however, occurs on Novem- Der 18th, but the members propose to celebrate the occasion on the former date. Invitations will be gotten out and posted to the members of the lodge as well as to the widows of deceased Knights
 The wives and sweethearts of the members are to be included in their invitations.

THE CITY FATHERS
 60 AFTER THE CASH
The Proposed License Ordinance Dou- bIes Many licenses-Saloons $100 Per Quarter.

The adjourned meeting of the city council held Monday evening was pro ductive of many things. In the first place, the matter of making a deal with the reclamation service for a cur rent for supplying the town with light and power was taken up. w. J. Kings bury. city attorney. who has had some communication with L. c. Hill on the subject, reported that before the ser vice would make a definite reply to the city's application for a current, it would be necessary for it to know just what amount the city would require. IL was decided that a competent cleo trical engineer be called in by the city to make an accurate estimate of the needs of the town. This being done, the city and the reclamation service will have a definite basis upon which to work and the negotiations will be further persued.
 This matter having for the time be- ing set at rest and a few other mat ters that were left over from the last meeting having been disposed of, the council adjourned and the members of the finance committee toOF up the consideration of the new license ordi- nance. Duplicate copies of the various license ordinances of which ii is pro- posed to make a single ordinance were on hand and consisted of twenty five typewriter sheets. Right from the start it developed that the committee had good long job on it's hand but it went back to work with a will and shortly after midnight the task was completed.
 Exactly what the committee did has not been given out for publication but from an unofficial source it is learned that the committee went after the li- cense proposition and that the result will greatly increase the income of the city
 The next move will now be to refer the proposed ordinance to the ordi- nance committee. If acted upon ia vorably by this committee it will come up before the council for a vote some time in the near future and as the three members of the finance commit tee constitute a majority of the coun- cil, there is no question but that the ordinance will be passed.

 Under the fly leaf is a three leaf fold CT containing a brief description of this vicinity and its resources.
 The booklet its self has eight t-pages and is beautifully illustrated with copyrighted pictures from photos de- picting scenes in and around Mesa and at Granite Reef.

NEW ORGANIZATION
 A MEXICAN BAND
The Membership Consists Largely of Experienced Players.

The younger members of the Mexi- can population of Tempe held a meet ing in East Tempe Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a Tempe Mexican band. It should not be un- derstood from this that the proposed organization is in any way in opposi- tion to the band already here. Parties may belong to both bands and a num- Der of players do.
 The organization was perfected Monday evening by the election of the following officers and trustees: AL bert Miller. president; Ramon MaZon, vice president; A. A. Celaya, secre- tary and manager; Chris Sigala. treas urer; P. OviedO, Jesus MazOn and J. M. Romero, trustees.
 M. G. Gomez an experienced player from the National Mexican band has been engaged to teach the new ogan- iZatiOn. The band starts out with a membership of r, of which number IA are experienced players. It is expect ed that within the next couple of weeks the band will be in shape to put up some first class music.
 As yet no name has been given the new band and it has been decided to leave this to the public. Suggestions will be gladly received by Secretary Celaya and a prize will be given the party suggesting the name that is ac- cepted by the judges as being most ap- prOpriate
