BRAINS AND TRAINING

When a trainer with brains
takes charge of horse and the
horse has brains enough to know
and understand the man, and the
man understands the horse, it may
be made into a race horse provid-
ing it has speed, Speed is purely
physical, being brought out by the
condition of its powers by the
trainer. The reason some horses
trot or pace faster than others is
largely because breeding and
physical makeup being equal
they have more brains, or instinct
as some prefer to say, and respond
more readily to the brain power of
the trainer who directs their work.

PUMPING PLANT REPAIRS
 ARE SOMEWHAT DELAYED
OWING TO THE ABSENCE OF
 SOME MATERIAL
1t Will Be in Shape in Less Than a
 Week After it Arrives.

There has been somewhat of d de- lay in the completion of the repairs to the Tempe Pumping companys plant which was partially destroyed by fire some weeks ago. It was thought at the time that the plant would be in running order again in a few weeks time, but the necessity of ordering some machinery from two eastern factories made great change in the out ook. This material had to be made to order. which took time, and the shipping also requires some time; consequently the plant is yet out of commission and how much longer it may remain so depends en- material arrives.
 G. F. Dimetry, the constructing en- gineer. said yesterday that every thing was in tip top shape, with the exception of the placing of those parts that are yet to arrive. Except for those parts, the plant is ready to be operated again and in fact. the boilers will be steamed up tomorrow for the purpose of testing the pipes. According to the engineer. it will take less than a week to put the plant in missing parts, so the outlook is not at all discouraging.
 Of late there has been plenty of water in the canals and the chances are that the plant will be in com mission again by the time it's use is most necessary to the water Us"rs.

THE DULL SEASON
 IS NOT APPARENT PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS CON- TINUE ALMOST DAILY A Business Lot and a Store Building
 Sold Yesterday.

Though this is usually regarded as dull period in this vicinity. the number of real estate transactions made recently hereabouts would tend to controvert this generally accepted theory. Country as well as town property has been changing hands with considerable frequency of late and a couple of deals were closed yesterday.
 +. A. Windes purchased of Thomp- son Walker. lot 26 in block 52 This property lies just east of the Farm CTS and Merchants bank across the alley and the lot is 9 by 14O feet. The consideration in the transaction was given as SIS per front foot. Only recently several other lots in that same block were sold at d good figure and it looks as if East Fifth street was going to enjoy a building boom. Mir. Windes contemplates building on his lot in the not far distant future. in fact he bought it for that purpose and it is understood that another building will go up there before very long.
 The other deal above mentioned was the sale of the Merczer property in East Tempe by w. J. Kingsbury to Harry Lukin. This property con- sists of the long two story adobe building. extending from Eighth street clear back to Dewey street. MT. Lukin will establish his East Tempe store there, which for some time past he has operated in the Knight building, a block further east The transaction was made through the Windcs office.
