SERVICE
 OFFICIALS IN MESA
WILL LEAVE THIS MORNING FOR RESERVOIR SITE AT
 ROOSEVELT.
The Investigations Yesterday lncludcd Well Drilling Operations.

Frederick H. Newell. director of the reclamation service, Louis C. Hill, su- pervising engineer of the projects in Arizona and New Mexico. and B. A. Fowler. president of the Salt River Valley Water Users association, ac- companied by Dr. A. J. Chandler. left here yesterday morning for a general trip of inspection over the particular projects near Mesa which includes the well drilling operations in the SacatOn Indian reservation as well as a good lot of the transmission line work in cluding transformer buildings and Granite Reef. The visiting gentlemen spent Sunday night in Mesa and were able to get a good start yesterday morning. It is understood that it was the desire of Director Newell to in vestigate carefully into the conditions as to the underground water supply and as a result his visit was quite ex- tensive in the vicinity of the new wells to the south and east of Mesa
 Mir. Newell is well pleased with the work accomplished by the many con- structing and supervising engineers but he at the same time realizes the importance of the entire situation and holds to the opinion that the success ful working out of the reclamation project is in no wise complete The real problem which has always been evident but which has at times been obstructed from view by the building operations. is the distribution of water in the proper manner. This distribu- tion remains a problem and will re- main unsolved until the reclamation service shall have completed the pro- jects and everything put in harmoni- ous working order. The party will continue from here on to Roosevelt for a general inspection of the works there and then Director Newell, in company with Engineer Hill will go direct from here to Yuma to look over the La guna project. This is the eyfirst visit Director Newell has made to this place since a year ago last August. when the work of construction was just fairly begun. Director Newell seems fairly well satisfied with the progress of the work of the Salt River project or at least of as much as he has seen of it.

ROLL OF DISHONOR,

Marcial ROdriCues wandered from the path of rectitude Saturday night and overestimated his capacity with the result that he passed the deadIine and fractured a Mesa ordinance in re- gard to man who gets drunk and then gets caught at it. He was charg- ed with a plain every day jag and the justice run the speedometer up to seven dollars. RodrigrIes showed signs of being a live one and dug ur the cash in payment for his immediate freedom
 Padro Leon, likewise attempted to assist the cause of temperance by de- stroying all the liquor in Mesa. but he fell short of his intentions and was subjected to inconsistencies before he accomplished his purpose. He was drunk and could not deny it but did not have the price to pay his indebt- edness to the city to the amount of seven dollars so was reprimanded with reminder extending over seven days time
 Antonio Martinez wandered some what Saturday night in a circuituous route which led him tO the city bastile with a tag on him reading P. D. This was interpreted in police court yes terday morning as plain drunk. and Martinez was market down to g., if taken at once. The amount was se- cured and he was given his liberty.

RECORD BREAKING RUN.
Made Between Here and Tempe Yes terday Morning in Mitchell Car.

P. F.. Fuller received a message Sun day to the effect that his father was seriously i'll and likewise a sister and was asked to come on the first train. He expected to leave here on the early train but he had not taken into con sideration the change of time and re- quested the assistance of J. G. Span gler to get him to the train.
 The train was just passing the Mesa Dairy and Ice company's plant under full head of steam as the car turned in at the depot. No time was spent in argument but an effort was com menced to overtake the train at Tempe. The car was sent over the road at the rate of forty-five miles an hour and MT. Fuller who occupied the rear seat, on two occasions was thrown entirely over into the front seat and Mir. Spangler found himself thrown against the wheel.
 It is impossible to estimate the time made between here and Tempe as neither gentlemen kept a record and the speedometer is responsible for the statement of forty-five miles per hour being reached and maintained for a good portion of the way. The train was caught at Tempe but with abso- lutely no time to spare.
 STRAWBERRY SOCIAL.
 The Epworth League has announced a social for Thursday night of this week at the home of Mir. and Mrs w z. DOrman. east of town. The straw berries are still on the vines in the patch belonging to MT and Mrs Hutchinson and the social was set at a time to accommodate the berries for they have a way of not waiting for even Methodists when the end of their season comes. \ side line of cake is promised which is a.so to be a Mesa produCt.

REMEDY FOR TOO
TOO LAYING HENS"

Mr.. Peter McNasty is in guam
Diary. His white leghorns persist
in laying and refuse to take time to
mouit, which is exceedingly strange
for Leghorus. If is were Belgian
hares it would different. He is in
doubt as to the proper treatment to
remedy these defects in his much
priced birds, and has inquired about
the possible effects of sawdust as a
corrective.
1t may be that their failure to
moult is due to feathers being clinch-
I'll on the inside. A vivi-scction OK
animation will enable him to find
out if this be the case. If it is he
naturally will need to unclinch the
feathers. To make them stop lay
ing, there are doubtless several
remedies-but he will find a bran
mash mixed with a 4O& solution Of
formaldehyde very effective. ::
P. s. We wouldn't advise anyone
else to try these prescriptions unless
their birds are similarly affected.
