A RIVER EXPERIENCE,

A party of Phoenix people will here after be strong advocates of the Tenn pc bridge proposition. They came over from Phoenix yesterday afternoon in a surrey and reaching the river, drove boldly in. following the stakes. Un- fortunately with the slight fall in the river the current has changed some- what and while the water is shallow in most places there is one place where it is some four feet deep. Reach ing the deepest part of the stream yesterday, the team attached to the surrey became frightened; a tug broke and in a moment the horses had plung- ed out of the deep water and had left the rig with it's occupants stranded in the river with the water running all most even with the seats. The party hailed a man on the bridge and he carried word to town where Roy Buck was sent to the rescue with a delivery wagon. The marooned people were carried to dry land and the rig lowed to shore. The horses were caught some distance from the river and brought back and the party returned In PhOe- nix.
 Another ford was yesterday estab- lished by G. R. Finch and sraked off. It is much better one and the water is not so deep though the ford is much longer. It goes in from this side of the river, just under the bridge and following down. the stream comes out just where the road leaves ;he river bed. It is perfectly safe if one fol- lows the road as indicated by the stakes.

B. H. ScUDOER ELECTED.
Az Superintendent of the Union High
 School and Public School.

iSE
 At joint meeting of the Union High school and public school boards Fri day evening B. H. Scudder, formerly member of the normal faculty and at present the principal of the Jerome public schools, was unanimously elect ed to fill the position of superintend- ent of the public and high schools. The position carries with it salary of $500 per annum. There were as many as dozen or more applications for the position under consideration by the board and the names of several others were also. discussed though they had not made formal application. It is not yet positively known that Prof. Scudder will accept the offer as the salary attached to it is considera- bic less than his present one
 Previous to the -oint meeting of the two boards, each held separate meeting. The time spent at the session of the high school board was mostly devoted to a discussion of the pro- posed site of the new school building.

As mentioned before a number of diff ferent proposition have been before
 the board. The property just south of
 the public school on the same side of the road was offered by the Tempe Land and Improvement company at a lump figure that approximated within a few dollars Of $700 per acre. There is little. over nine acres in the plot and though this is a little mere than the high school will require, it was planned to dispose of what was not needed to the public school. The price however. appeared to the board to be little tco high and proposition was made to the local representative of the company offering $500 per acre. It now remains to be seen whether or not the company will accept the offer. In case it does not the board will them consider several other propositions in view. At the Friday evening meeting the Goodwin offer was placed before the , board. It, however concluded that il would be better to pay a great ef price and have the high school near CT the public since it is desired to have the two under the same superin- tendency as nearly as possible.
 Another move made by the high school board was the instructing of the attorney to ascertain the total val nation of the property within the Un- ion high school district. upon which basis will be based the tax rate. It is desired also to have this valuation in order to be certain that it is sufficient ly great to warrant the s50.000 bond issue.

He. however. finds opportun- ity to explain his predicament to her concealing the fact that she is the girl NAtii " iApiiA iit iS III lpNts anu her advice as to what she would do if she were Standish.
 Much amused over the situation Priscilla suggest that he make his pro- posal by proxy. He excepts the sug- gestion and hits upon John Alden, his friend, as the very man to carry out unfortunately for Alden's peace of mind he alone is desperately in love with Priscilla, but under strong pres sure on Standish's part, and for friendships sake agree to woo her for Standish. and does so. with the result of unexpectedly winning her for him. self.

QUASSAPAUG TRIP
CoDDeciicui Co Should Provide
 SomelhIDs For lis Patrons.

People starting on the trip 10 Quassapaug are in a much more pleasant state of mind than those returning. The road is certainly getting some mighty hard wallops and the lake is also playing the part of the anvil. In the first place, stop to think about the fare; IS cents for less than an eight mile ride; why if the trolleys more than crawl along they should be able to make the trip in less than half an hour.
 The New Haven company is be- ing severely criticised and it seems just criticism for collecting three fares on the trip to and from Lake Quassapaug. There is no reason in the world, so say the people, why the fare to Quassapaug should be more than 10 cents. The run to the lake is now made in g. minutes. but this time can be shortened by many minutes.
 In view of trolley fares in other cities, it looks as though the peo- pie of Waterbury were just living on citron fruit. Every new trolley line seems to be mcre expensive to ride on than any o her-and that is saying whole lot. In view of the distance one can go in New Haven and other cities of the state for a nickel the Waterbury public to all appearances gets it bad. The com pany might jus. as well have men along the line,' said one passenger, and hit the people over the head with piece of lead pipe. It would not take nearly so long"
 The people selling refreshments and owning the boats at the lake believe evidently in following the leader. If person cares to par.ake of a dish of ice cream it costs 25 cents, fourth part of dollar. Can you beat that. Twenty-Five cents for stingy plate, why here In the city you can almost get a guar for the same money All soft drinks cost 10 cents a bottle and a sandwich, yes, even a bread sand wich costs dime. Boats are at the reasonable rate of s1 an hour. They evidently think that the people are not going to bring them back so they charge for the original cost. Oh, yes. Quassapaug is fine. Persons starting out are advised to put a paddock on their pocketbooks, un- less they have heavy pair of soles on their shoes and are fond of walk ing.
 Nevertheless conditions promise to improve. Of course here is It, tie to be expected from the octopus but competition at the lake should help some. It is said that Baker Tom Kelly has already ordered 90 boats and that ano her refrashment stand will be started within a very short time. Still the persons in on the good thing at present, will own the lake unless their compe .itors get hustle on.

It Is against justice. did caution my people not to give to the superinten- dents any money in order to get a job, because by so doing they Glay do injustice to others by dismissing those who refuse to give money for the same purpose. It is all the same as to bribe judge or witness in court to win case falsely. If tais would continue such superintendents could be summoned to court. Some of my people say.
