THREE PRIZES OFFERED
 ID SCHOOL STUDENTS
AS AN INCENTIVE TO BETTER
 AND HARDER WORK.
High School Students Will Have a
 Chance to Win Them.

MT and Mrs. Niels Petersen have made known their intention of offer ing three prizes to high school stu dents to be known as the Petersen prizes. These three prizes will be awarded each year to the three grad uates of the institution making the highest average and the prizes will be permanent; that is, they will be of fered each year indefinitely. The first prize will be s3O in school books, the next $25, in books, and the third s2O in books.
 This will be a great incentive to ambitious students and though the first three prizes cannot be given until there is a class to graduate from the high school, which will probably be two years hence, it will be well for the students of the school to bear in mind that they have something worth striving for MT. and Mrs. Petersen have always taken an active interest in the af- fairs of Tempe and their generous offer to the high school students will be appreciated by the young people who have an opportunity of winning the prizes.

WHEAT.

Chicago. May 12.-Most of the ad- vance of yesterday was lost on wheat today. Conditions on the whole were just as bullish as before, except that the trade received late in the. session reports of scattered rains in Kansas. They feared the effect on prices in case the map tomorrow morning should show good rainfall in that quarter Free sellirg of wheat by LaSalle street house also helped to give the market its setback Liverpool was lower on reports of cheaper Russian wheat early in the session. Numerous dispatches from Kansas points claimed the plant to be in critical condition because of the drouth. The main feature for the trade to consider is the weather over the southwest. and the market tomor- row will certainly turn on the pres ence or absence of rain over Kansas.

A FURTHER DELAY.

The adjuster from San Francisco, who has been expected here daily for the past week to adjust the loss sustained at the Tempe pumping plant through the fire over a week ago, has not yet arrived. It is eX- pected, however, that he will be here today and it is fondly hoped that he will be. His absence is causing a delay in the rebuilding of the plant and there was never a time when it was more sorely needed. The diff ficulty at Roosevelt has played havoc with the Tempe farmers and if the pumping plant was in shape to run, it would be going twenty-four hours a day.

SEEKING INFORMATION ABOUT ELECTRIC LINE REPRESENTATIVES, OF A COM PANY SPENT YESTERDAY
 HERE.
Will Meet Soon With the Tempe
 Bridge Committee.

Harry J. Bennett and Judge Wood ward of Phoenix spent yesterday aft ernoon in Tempe. Their visit was not altogether one of pleasure, for they devoted some little time to business. MT. Bennett, as most peo- pie know, is president of the Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa electric car line; Andrew Nielsen of this place is vice. president, and Judge Woodward is the company's attorney.
 Asked regarding the proposed movements of the company in the near future. and it's relation to the proposed bridge across Salt river at this place, MT. Bennett said that at present he preferred to say nothing further than that the company was going right ahead with its plans and fully expected to put the line through as soon as possible.
 It is understood that in a short time MT. Bennett and other members of the company will hold a meeting with the Tempe Bridge committee. Following that meeting, there will probably be something for publica- ton that will be of interest to readers.

BOSTON COPPER.

Boston. May 12.-Interest in the To- cal market was smaller today. but the coppers would have gone well if it had not been for the depressing influence of North Butte. Almost every local trader has North Butte, and the slump has made them all nervous and afraid to trade. Long stock has come out and the reports regarding their prop erty are very conflicting. Helvetia was in good demand at highest prices, and very little stock was for sale. The balance of the list showed no change worthy of attention.

MARKET REPORTS
 BY PRIVATE WIRE

New York, May 12.-The market continued strong this morning but was checked once more by heavy realizing, and was made reactionary in the late trading. Most stocks lost what they had previously gained, although Rock Island issues and some of the other pool favorites closed with fair net gains. Stocks seemed to be well talk en on the late reaction. We expect an irregular market, but see no reason to change our opinion, that stocks should be bought on all fair recessions.

COUNCIL MEETING
Just What Will Happen Tonight is a
 Matter of Speculation.

The regular monthly meeting of the city council will be held this evening at the usual hour in the council chambers. Just what will happen this evening out of the ordi- nary is a matter of speculation though there is rumor afloat that an effort will be made tonight to pass an ordinance or in some other manner place a restriction upon the clubs in Tempe, requiring them to close Sundays and observe the same rules and regulation that have been imposed upon the saloons. Just what will come of the effort, if one be made, remains to be seen.

Record-Breaking Ascent

CHICAGO. February 27.-The wheat
market continued its recordbreaking as
cent today, May selling at $1.19 and the
July delivery at $1.05;s shortly after the
session Of the board Of trade opened The
pit was in ferment of excitement
The demand for May and July seemed
unlimited. and in the rapid fire OF bid
ding the pit clerk had great difficulty In
properly recording quotations. The ner-
vousness Of the market is indicated by
opening quotations, which in an instant
covered a range of seven-eighths Of a
cent. Enormous realizing sales followed
the advance, May dropping full cent
from the top.
The leading holder is credited with a
line of wheat twice as large as the
amount in local warehouses. He is ad-
mitted to be in complete control Of the
situation. At 81 10 today May wheat was
within one cent Of the price which this
speculator prophesied several months ago.
