NEW AMUSEMENT HALL.

Yesterday morning, work began on the erection of the new amusement hall, to be located on the east side of Macdonald street, between Everybodys drug store, and the hardware estab- lishment of the C. C. Manning com. pany. Daniel Mahoney is having the building constructed
 When this IS completed, it is to be occupied by Ralph A. Chase and E. P. Grover, who will conduc: a moving picture show there. During the sum- mer seasons, it will be used as an ice cream parlor. The work will be push ed rapidly, in order to have it com pleted at an early date, that the busi- ness may begin. A place of amuse- ment of this kind will prove interest ing to both old and young, as well as instructive, as the customs, progress and scenes in the foreign countries are always made feature of such places of entertainment, and it is expected that the new business will receive a liheral patronage.
 Messrs. Grover and Chase are well known and popular here, and have successfully conducted the establish- ment known as Growers Place" for sometime past, and in their new ven- ture. they will take with them the good will and best wishes of their patrons.

SELECTS SCHOOL DESKS.

Professor and Mrs. J. D. Loper and two children returned last week from a lengthy trip to Jerusalem, Ohio, where they have been the guests of Professor Loper's parents for several months past.
 While in the east, Professor Loper attended the International Conclave of the Knights of Pythias which was held in Boston during the first of August. Professor Loper being the keeper of records here, was present at the con- vention of the record keepers of the different lodges throughout the United States and which was held the day preceding the assembling of the Inter- national Conclave.
 Upon his return trip the professor was met in Chicago by Attorney Geo. w Silverthorn, who is now in the Windy City, and together they made the selection of the desks for the new Union High school. which is now in course of erection here. These are of an up-to-date pattern, and are con- structed on the plan of those used in the schools in the larger cities in the east.
 Professor and Mrs. Loper greatly enjoyed the trip. and particularly their visit with their parents, with whom the greater part of their vacation was spent.

IHE HUNTERS RATE
 WHEN SEASON OPENS
The One Fare Round Trip on the Santa
 Fe For Everyone.

Beginning October 15, the Santa Fe will grant a rate of one fare for the round trip every Sunday to all points from Peoria north to the A. and C. junction. The reason that it is not effective to Glendale is that every one caring to go there will usually drive.
 The rate is made especially for the benefit of hunters who with the open ing of the season will begin active on- slaughts on the feathered tribe, but it is open to everyone who cares to trav- el. The quail season will commence on the 18th of October
 Reports are that the birds are more numerous than they have been for sev- eral seasons past, and the deserts and hills north are alive with flights of large numbers. Hunters can leave here Sunday morning on the 2:15 train if they wish an early start at dawn, or they can go on the o'clock passenger and return on the afternoon train. Quite number of hunters and pie nicers will take advantage of the rate for Sunday outing.

NORMAL FACULTY
 Is NOW COMPETE
Made So by the Election of Miss CritchIey to Position in the Train ing School.

i Actual work began at the normal yesterday with the assembly of the
 students and members of the faculty in the assembly room at 9 o'clock. The faculty is now complete, made so by the arrival of Misses Odell, Newbert, Critchley and Prof. Wade on Monday. Miss Odell is from Illi- nois and Miss Newbert from Cali
 fornia. They take the places made
 vacant by the resignation of Misses
 Finnie and Hutchinson. Both are competent instructors and hold mas ter degrees. Miss Critchley is no other than Miss Josie Critchley of Tombstone, who graduated from the normal with the class of 1907, and taught last year at her home town. She has been elected to a, position in ]the training school, made vacant by the resignation of Miss Caruthers. Miss Critchley's advancement has been rapid and to be elected to a position in the faculty of the school from which one graduates in a little over a years time, is no little honor. It is noticeable that the four critic teachers in the normal training school are all graduates of the institution. Prof. Wade returned Monday from London, Canada, where he has been spending the summer.
 The new teachers were introduced to the students yesterday and each was prevailed upon to make a short address. Following this and various announcements by President Mat thews, work began. Most of the day was devoted to written tests in the lower grades.
 The attendance yesterday was 1S0, which is regarded as exceptionally good for the first assembly. Prob ably this number will be increased by at least fifty by the end of the week.

SOMETHING NEW.

Tempe merchants and business men are thoroughly up to date and are offering to the public something new all the time. The latest is a hat pin made of live roses, but the roses are just turned into metal and then mounted on hat pins. The secret process of changing live roses into metal is a discovery of noted French electro chemist, by name Prof. IL. G. Delamothe, who says he can change any vegetable or animal sub starce into metal. The pins are handled here by Frank La Mont, the jeweler, and he used considerable space this morning telling about them. They are certainly the most beautiful things of the kind ever seen and are quite the fad in the east

It Showed an Increased Attendance

The second day at the Union high school was productive of four new pupils, making a total now of an even fifty. This was much better than could possibly have been expected and demonstrates beyond all question that Tempe needed a school of this character.
 Little time was lost yesterday in getting down to work and classes recited with as little concern as if the school had been in session a month. The same conditions of af- fairs prevailed at the public school. There was a gratifying increase in the attendance and no time was wasted in getting things in running order.
