During his eight years In the White
House Grant travelled much and far.

presidents while away from the seat

message he gave a long list of alb

most Of his predecessors. along to and
including Buchanan, and told some OF
the executive acts which they perform

prised the country and silenced Grants
critics. Garfield was beginning his

which took him long distances from

service in the White House he visited
nearly every state and was in all the
territories. Moreover. he went out

to Panama and spending several days
there. He contemplated visit to

EXTENDED SESSION OF
 HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
Two Additional Teachers WIll Be
 Engaged Next Year.

The Union High school board held an extended meeting Monday evening and did not adjourn until late hour. Through the failure of the official notification of the election of the two trustees to arrive, a reorganization or the board was not perfected and bus- mess was transacted under the or ganization of last year.
 The board discussed at length, the plans for next years work at the school. The conclusion reached was that two new teachers. in addition to the present faculty would be required one to take up the commercial work and the other manual training. Two weeks from the night of the meeting was set as the time when appllca- tions for the two new positions VIII be considered.
 The official notice of the re-elec- ton of w. A. Moeur and l. V. Stew art was received yesterday morning and at the next meeting of the board a new organization will likely be made. though it is not anticipated that much change will be made.

INCREASING INTEREST
 IN SATURDAYS PICNIC
A BIG CROWD IS EXPECTED TO
 ATTEND.
A Partial List of the Speakers Has
 Been Arranged.

The board of trade committee spent some time yesterday further perfect ing the plans for the big promotion picnic. at the public school grounds next Saturday As the time grows increase and the indications are that the picnic will be a pronounced sue cess in every particular.
 IL is planned to have a few Tempe gentlemen address the gathering on timely topics. Thesee talks will be rather informal and will not be long A partial list of the speakers has been prepared and topics assigned though until the full list is made up the complete program will not be published. Those who thus far have been asked to speak are J. B. Cook president of the board of trade, J. w Woolf. J. O. Mullen, c. M. Frizzell and Grant Jones.
 Saturday is going to be a busy day in Tempe as many will be in town on account of the Easter shopping Consequently it is planned to have the picnic take up but little time. IL is hoped to have all the stores closed between the hours of 12:3O and 2 o'clock in order that the business men as well as the ranchers and oth- CTS may gather around the festive board and partake of the good things that will be provided. The loss of an hour and a half will not be seri- ously felt by the merchants and it is fully expected that all will be agree able to the plan.

BRIDGE BUILDING CO.'S
 REPRESENTATIVE COMING
LITTLE PRESENT PROSPECT OF
 A COMPROMISE.
An Active Edueational Campaign to
 Be Started at Once.

Tempe people have about given up hope that a compromise of any kind will be made in the bridge contro- versy and acting on that presumption, the Tempe petition has been filed with the board of supervisors and the committee is preparing to enter into an active educational campaign. to prove to the people of Maricopa county that the Tempe site offers superior advantages to any other site on the entire river for the construc- ton of a bridge.
 It is expected that within the next day or two there will arrive here, representative of one of the best known bridge construction companies in the United States. This represen- tative it is presumed will make an exhaustive examination into the ad- vantages of the site here and prepare an estimate of the cost of construct ing such a bridge as will be desired Already the county surveyor. MT Streitz. has made a survey of the site and is now at work upon his report. MT Streitz was seen Monday and asked if he could make state ment of what he may have learned through his investigations here. lie replied that he preferred not to anti cipate his official report. but that a. soon as it was made, the Tempe bridge committee will be supplied with a copy of it.
 The failure of the Tempe people to accept the proposition of the Center street people to unite on a two bridge project. should not be construed to mean that the Tempe people are op- posed to a bridge being built at Center street. The feeling here was that Tempe offering, as it does. the more advantageous location, should be given first consideration and the less favorable site. second. The south side taxpayers evidenced a strong tendency to object to two bridges in one year and a straw vote taken one evening at a meeting indicated be- yond a doubt that they would never stand for the additional tax that two bridges would demand.

 resent the stranded and destitute
 Scotchmen. who are in Vera Cru, and at the mining camp or Tavicne, in the state of Oaxaca, have issued public appeal through the press of Mexico for assistance There are about 60 of these Scotchmen, who say that they were brought to Mexico by an American land company, which has abandoned them, after defraud ing them out of $100 to $500 each in money advanced
 The Scotchmen were brought over in two different lots, the second par. ty of 25 arriving at Vera Cruz only recently.
 Shortly after the arrival of the men in Taviche the company's representa- tives left them, since which time, over three months, they have been stranded, without money, without
 work and without being able to get
 word to or from the company, which
 has their money on deposit, and their
 wages as well.
