This made John so mad that he tied for first in the high jump and ran the first quarter of the relay in 55 sec. It was well he did as Smith unexpectedly tied Standage for third place in the high.
 Smith of the High school is a great athlete, winning 1512 points alone, but he should not be excused of losing the discus on a foul as a matter of fact he fouled two times. but his third throw of S7 1t. was fair but too short to qual- fly in the finals.

 that his negro trainer ran with him the last 20 yds. as this occasioned some complaint and according to Slater

 Coach Aver Of the Normal said: "The secret of our success in this meet is that we worked hard and said nothing, while the High school no doubt was overconfident. l was probably the least surprised of any one. as you may see from the following estimate. We were conceded 46 points as follows: 100 yds., 1; r mile, ,; F miles, 8; mile, 3; high jump, g.. high hurdles. s; dis GUS, 3; shot, 4; hammer, 4; broad jump, 6. From practice form I expected to add in the discus and in the pole vault, making 54 points, with a good chance at some in the low hurdles and the mile, as Lynch. Blake and Swig- gett were doing fine in practice. Six ty points would win, so if We won the relay we would have 62 points and the meet. We saved our relay men as much as possible and won out in this event. Our plans were upset in the half and uarter, but we more than made up in the 220 and 220 hurdles With all the men at their best there isn't much difference in the two teams. We are all happy to win the last. This closes our track season and tennis and basket ball will hold sway until after the holidays"

THINGS OF INTEREST
 SEEN IN OLD MEXICO
By a Tempe Man Who Spent Several
 Weeks There.

J. B. Cook, superintendent of the Pa cific Creamery company, returned yes
 terday morning after an absence of three weeks. All of this time with the exception of a couple of days in Fl
 Paso at the interstate commerce com mission hearing. was devoted to a business and pleasure trip in old Mex
 icO. Mir Cook did not care to say any
 thing yesterday for publication regard
 ing the business side of the trip but
 talked entertainly of the country he
 had visited and the many things of in terest he saw there.
 From Nogales MT Cook went direct to Culiacan and spent most of his time
 in the vicinity of that place. The new railroad, says MT. Cook, has now reached that point and has been ex- tended little beyond it. Work is be- ing pushed on the road and a large force of men are employed. Mir. Cook regards this section as one offering eX- lceptional opportunities to Americans who have the right kind of enterprise. It is a great agricultural section and a lgood many crops are now raised there by the native residents, though they are far from modern in their methods.
 There is sufficient rain fall there to insure an average crop, but a number of irrigation projects are being consid cred, that when completed will add much to the productiveness and value of the country. The Americans are
 losing no time in taking advantage of the new country. They are following up the railroad closely and are adding Ia great deal to the country by their presence. That section of Mexico is vast almost beyond comprehension. With a party of gentlemen, NIT. Cook spent six days in the saddle taking a look over a little ranch of 10000 acres and the party did not see all of the place then by any means. The climate says MT Cook is really delightful, though there is a noticeable change in the temperature between day light and dark
 He had a camera with him and was successful in taking a number of eX- ceedingly interesting views. He also brought back with him as a rare cu- riosity in these parts a few samples of the charimayo, a fruit that in some respects resembles the eastern paw paw. It grows wild there but is culti- vated for commercial purposes to some extent
 On the whole MT. Cook was well pleased with the country he saw, but says it hardly compares with the Salt River valley, though after a few years more of development. it will really be a place of considerable importance.

JUNGLE JOSH PERKINS"

Uncle Josh Perkins, the New England rural comedy drama comes to the Vance Auditorium on Wednesday, Dec. 2nd. It unfolds a story filled with sweet naturalness and possesses enough real life to make of it big success with all who go to see it. The company this season is said by our ex- changes to be stronger than ever and the play as laudable and as entertain ing as anything produced in many a day. It is one of those creations that sends its audience home in a better frame of mind and in better terms with oneself, after having sat through the entertainment. The cast is said to be a finely blended one and the spe- cialtiies introduced are declared to be specially high class. Novel settings for every scene depicted are carried complete by the company.

Despite the fact that Sheldon was absent from sickness and Halbert out with strained leg, the Normal team won a great victory on Thanksgiving day. As these two athletes captured 12 points between them at the previous meet the boys certainly had a decisive victory when they won by a nine point margin without them.
 The write-up of the meet in Fridays Republican was very pleasing to the Normal team. although there were a few additional points worth further at tcntiOn.

MESA'S WATER SUPPLY
 PRONOUNCED COMPLETE
The Finishing Touch Administered to
 the Well.

The first step in establishing the city water works for Mesa was completed yesterday morning when both govern ment engineers and citizens pronOunc- ed the water which was running over the testing weir from the big well which is 165 feet deep and 16 feet in diameter as satisfactory both as to quality and quantity.
 The present depth was reached on Monday when the big drill began going through formations which took 1t out of the water bearing strata As 1t had already been determined that forma- tiOns had been passed through bearing a large quantity it was determined to Assure the casing for the purpose of determining the amount. Four holes were made every foot, making them eight inches apart. Each was eight inches apart. Each was eight inches long and one-half inch wide. This process was continued from the bot tom of the well to within 65 feet of the top. At this point begins a strat- um consisting of cement and boulders, NAllIH CALCULUS uIN dlu IOi d hlotdllCc of 15 feet, where for a depth of 40 feet from the level of the ground surface water ends in this particular instance.
 The large triplex testing pump was then put in place and the water pump ed over the testing weir, to a depth of two and one-half inches. This test covered two days. The water varied la little in the volume of flow
 Engineer Baker took these figures to Phoenix with him and the average flow will be known in a few days. It was determined to be close to 100 minor inches or far in excess of the present needs of the town.
 Superintendent Roy Mccormick has given the work on the last well a great deal of his personal attention to insure the success of this second well. he left for Sacaton yesterday afternoon where the seventh well is now in pro gress of drilling.
