COMPANY D BALL TOMORROW
 EVENING.

The boys of Company D, N. G. A. will hold its second ball tomorrow evening since the reorganization of this body, and it is anticipated by them that there will be a liberal tournout on this occasion.
 The dance will take place at the Vance Auditorium, and the committee on arrangements has taken psrticG- lar pains in it's efforts to make this affair one that will be gener1ll' en- iOyable, and will see to it that noth- ing will be left undone Npr the coaLrcrt and convenience of the patrons.
 A strenuous effort is being made by the members of the organization to place the company from Mesa in the lead in the regiment and the funds de- rived from the ball tomorrow evening will be applied to the different uses of the company. and the members. as well as the different officers are bending their efforts towards doing all they can to gain q state of efficiency before the territorial encampment in the Capital City, which will be beld within few weeks
 The people in general here are inter- ested in seeing the boys obtain the highest honors possible. and therefore it is hoped that they will receive a lib- eral and strong patronage at the enter tainment at the Auditorium tomorrow night.

LEFT ON HE DESERT
 WITHOUT GASOLINE

Andrew Nielsen had his first exper 1 fence in the river with his new Black auto Tuesday afternoon. With a party | of gentlemen he started on his first trip to Phoenix with the new machine i and ne got there too, but between points there were a number of mo-
 ments of excitement and the trip was
 not made in record breaking time
 MT. Nielsen essayed to cross the riv- ! CT at the bridge ford instead of any one of the several lower down the riv- | CT. The Black machine is built on a different plan from the regular auto mobile and is presumed te be able to take deeper water than the other kind. While this is no doubt all true. it stands i to reason that no machine will run through Nater that is deep enough to reach the engine and other machinery.
 The driver miscalculated the amount of water in the river and the first few feet drowned the engine. man with a team happened to be close by and he
 was pressed into service but without success. His team was of too small calibre and help had to be secured from town in the shape of a heavy
 dray team. With this help the auto
 was finally landed on dry ground
 again and after the machinery was
 pretty well overhauled and dried out,
 the party proceeded on to Phoenix
 without further incident. The return
 trip, needless to say, was made by way of one of the lower crossings and with
 out special incident but. the story does
 not end there though that would make
 a good stopping place; the worst is yet to come By the time the party
 had crossed the river on the way home darkness had descended and under
 these conditions it was rather difficult to follow the road. Shortly the road disappeared and the machine and it's occupants were left on the desert In
 an attempt to find the road again the auto did noble service in crashing

Celebrated At Granite Reef Yesterday, Several of the Valley Towns Par tieipating.

Yesterday, September 16 was the ln- dependence day of the republic of Mexico, and the several adherents or the red, white and green who are now residing in different parts of the Salt River valley, celebrated the day fit tingfy at Granite Reef, being chosen for the scene of the festivities.
 As early as Tuesday morning those who intended to participate in the eel ebration passed through town en route to Lake Martin, where the affair took place The evening train on Tuesday was delayed one-half hour owing to the large party of eXcursionists who came over from Phoenix and Tempe The Mexican band from the Capital City, and before leaving here for It's destination, gave several selections on the corner of Macdonald and Main streets. Many of the MeXicans residing here joined the party and accompanied them to the Reef.
 The program as carried out, included several horse races. foot races, and sports indulged in in the sister repub- lie on similar occasions. Patriotic speeches were quite a feature in the days program which was closed with a grand baile in the evening.

A SPLENDID SCHOOL ENROLL
 MENT,

The enrolment in the high school and different grades of the grammar school here for the fall term has been exceptionally good. and still there are many of the children who will enter shortly, and from all indications the attendance during the present scholas- tic year will far exceed that of any previous term, as it already sUrpasses tbe enrolment of the first few days of last year
 Several parents having children of school age have recently taken up their residence here that these may be af- forded the advantage of attending the Mesa schools. which are well provided with competent teachers, as well as the different courses of study being splen- did and well selected.

NEW TEACHER NEEDED
 AT PUBLIC SCHOOL
The Size ot the Primary Grade De-
 mands More Help.

A meeting of the Tempe public school board was held Tuesday even ing and various topics of importance were considered. Chief among these was the consideration of the proposi- tion to employ another teacher for the primary grade of the school The at tendance in this grade has increased to such an extent this year that there are more pupils than one teacher can teach and do justice to the work. The board concluded that another teacher is nothing less than an absolute ne- |cessity and another meeting of the board will be held tomorrow evening to consider such applications as are on file or may be presented. It is quite likely that the appointment of the new teacher will be made at that time
 The public school has a splendid at tendance this year as have all the other educational institutions here. The work has been taken hold of readily by the scholars and with the addition of this new teacher there is every i'm .dication that the years work will be very gratifying to all.

115,000 yards which is composed of gravel would be necessary to be re- moved from the portion where the line will run through the hilly section of the country. and he said that in his opinion, this work would be cOmpara- tively easy as all of this could be done with the ordinary scraper and teams. and could be accomplished by the far mers themselves.
 H. l.. Chandler made the statement that the Highland Canal Construction company had been organized with a view to carrying this work forward, and that the purpose of this Organiza- ton was to get the acreage which would come under the canal and that this acreage was to be paid for by the farmers and in this way. the money SO raised was to be used in the building of the new waterway.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY
 VIA A TOURING GAR
A Party on the Way From Globe to Los Angeles.

N. Cottee and Jas c. Cowen arrived here Tuesday evening in a big touring car from Globe. The two gentlemen are making an overland trip from Globe to Los Angeles. the latter place being their home. They left Globe Tuesday morning and made a fine run, getting into Tempe on the evening of the same day in good season. They report that the road from Globe to Roosevelt is anything but a good one for automobiles but they managed to cover that part of it without serious accident. From Roosevelt to Tempe it was smooth sailing and they more than cut the wind. Arriving here Tuesday evening they discovered a broken spring and a few other mat ters that required repairing before starting on the long jaunt across the desert to Los Angeles. They accord ingly laid over yesterday part of the day until the repairs were made and last evening struck out south for Mari copa. They propose to follow the main line of the s. P. as nearly as possible to the more thickly settled districts in southern California. They reason that if by chance anything serious should
 happen to the car, it would be rather pleasant to feel that they were within sight of a railroad where the car could be loaded and shipped to the nearest
