They do not nest in this section, their

they are seen here only in winter. It
is no uncommon sight to meet with
one on a floating cake or ice vigorous

are exceedingly wary, can fly easily %
miles an hour and hunters find them
very hard to come at. When shot they
are not good for food, being tougher

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
 HAVE BEEN REELECTED
AND AN ADDITIONAL NEW s IN
 sTRUcToR.
The Faculty Will Be Completed at a Joint Meeting of the Two Boards.

The last regular meeting of the Union high school board was held at the country home of w. A. Moeur a member, by reason of the fact that MT. Moeur was laid up with an attack of rheumatism and unable to get to town. The other members at first put up a strong objection to having a board meeting so far from town, but after the evening was over and they had enjoyed MT. Moeur's hospitality, they quite agreed that the trip was worth the while and are seriously considering holding all their future meetings there.
 The meeting was held for the pur- pose of engaging teachers for the ensuing year. The present teachers were re-employed, with the exception of B. H. Scudder, the superintendent That position will not be filled until a joint meeting of the high school and public school boards is held in May. It is entirely probable, how ever, that Prof. Scudder will be re- elected, as he has given splendid sat- isfactiOn and considering the disad- vantages with which he has had to contend, has placed the high school on a good firm basis. The selection of a manual training teacher will also be deferred to the joint meeting, as he will teach in both institutions.
 The commercial teacher, however, was selected, though he has not yet signed contract He is Karl Me Murry of Mammoth, Ills. MT. Mc- Murry is a man of broad experience in this line of work, has some very valuable connections in the education al world and sends recommendations which are of the very highest MT. McMurry comes of a family of teach CTS. He is a nephew of Charles Me Murry, author of series of books on pedagogy now in use at the Normal; and on his mothers side he is a nephew of Elmer E.. Brown, United States commissioner of education, with headquarters at Washington, D. c. With a broad general education and a special training gained in the teaching of nothing but commercial subjects for the past five years, MT. McMurry will make the commercial course one of the strongest in the school

SPECIAL REGISTRATION
On Account of the Special Bridge
 Election.

The supervisors having called a special bridge election to be held on June 10th, a special registration is also required and only those who are thus registered will have a vote. Jus tice of the Peace E. P. Carr is now engaged in taking this registration
 and every voter in this section who was on the last tax roll should make it a point to see Mir Carr and regis ter. Only those on the last tax roll of the county will be entitled to a vote, therefore it is useless for those not on the roll to register for this election as it only makes confusion and expense to the county.
 This registration will close on May goth, and between now and that time MT. Carr will be found at his new office in the council chambers. Tempe voters should make it a special point to register for every vote will help just that much.

THE RETURN OF
 ODD FELLOWS
They Spent a Pleasant and Profitable
 Period in Tucson. G -:

Several Tempe people who have been attending the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in Tucson, returned yes- terday. Andrew Nielsen and c. M Mullen returned on the morning train and in the afternoon, MT. and Mrs. Geo. A. Dobson came back. All re- port a most enjoyable and profitable session of the lodge.
 Tempe fared well in the election of officers for MT. Nielsen returned with the honor of grand master of the ter ritory He says that there is slight possibility of the next session being held here, though it has also been said it will be held in Phoenix. This matter has not been fully decided up- on yet, however. If it appears that Tempe can offer suitable accommo- dations for the visitors that week, a strong effort will be made to land the next session here.
 The visitors in Tucson, according to the Tempe delegates, were accorded a most generous. welcome. Everything possible was done for their comfort and pleasure.

THE AUCTION
 IF PROPERTY  Was Not Satisfactory to the
 Owners
 HE PRICES TOO LOW Though Most of the Lots Averaged Six Dollars a Front Foot--Not All Sold.
HE PRICES TOO LOW

In a way the auction sale of prop erty by the Tempe Land and Im- provement company yesterday was a disappointment and in another way it was quite a success. While not near- ly all the property was sold, all that facing Sth street east of the Baptist church and that fronting the normal as far south as 9th street was dis posed of and some other lots in the interior of the plat The property facing Sth street averaged about six dollars a front foot, corner lots of course going a little higher than that. While that figure may be all the land is actually worth, based on a compar- ison of other recent property sales, it was reasonable and those who bought may consider themselves fort unate.
 The attendance was not nearly as large as had been anticipated, but nevertheless there were a number of north siders in evidence. The sale opened at 1O:3O in the morning, though the people first congregated down town. A parade was formed there, the Indian school band in the lead, followed by the populace on foot, in rigs and automobiles. The march was taken up to the first lot east of the Baptist church and the sale opened. This lot sold at a little better than $500 while those between it and the next street east went a few dollars under two hundred. When ever a lot was sold, the band render ed a selection and. between time five dollar gold piece was given away to tho holder of the winning ticket. By noon, most of the property in that block had been disposed of and an adjournment was taken until after lunch. free picnic dinner was served by the company and done full justice by the people attending.
 After the noon hour the sale was again resumed with a better demand than in the morning. The corner lot directly west of the new normal building went to Prof. Matthews at s4O5. Other buyers during the day were Dr. Alexander, Walter Wilbur, A. J. Peters, Niels Petersen and many others whose names were not learned. It is hoped tomorrow to be able to publish a complete list of the many purchasers.
 Geo. N. Gage of the company was sick in bed yesterday and not able to be present. L. w. Blinn of Los An geles came here expressly for the pur- pose of being on hand at the sale. Asked yesterday how he regarded the auction, he replied: "The sale is dis appointing to use both in point of attendance and in the selling price of the property This land would be cheap at sS a front foot, but in re- sponse to the demand of the people,
