Roadways Almost 1mpassable.

Reports from the outlying districts
about Chester state that many of the
public roadways, especially the roads
not driven over much, are almost i'm
passable, and much difficulty is being
experienced in driving them. The re-
cent rains and melting shows have
caused pools of water to collect in
the drifted roads that have been
shoveled open and the recent freeze
has formed a thin covering of ice
which breaks through making it dan
gerous for horses to travel. Consider
able money has been expended 50 far
throughout the township in shoveling
snow.

700 POWER BOATS In STATE
Chief Inspector Wants General super

Chief Inspector Wants General SUPER
vision of such Craft.
Traffic on the inland waters of the
state increased to such an extent that
in his animal report to Governor Fort,
Chief Inspector J.. Fred Runyon, Of
the Department Of Power Vessels,
says that a supervision of the boats is
necessary to the public safety. During
the past year licenses we're issued to
seventy-eight boats plying these in
land waters and carrying in the neigh
borhood of half million passengers.
When the present law was passed
there were approximately 300 power
vessels navigating the inland waters
under the Jurisdiction of the state in
spectors. Now there are more than
700.
There have been no accidents during
the year caused by carelessness of IL
censed masters or engineers, which
the chief inspector thinks is a good
showing. Many complaints have been
made against the owners and masters
of private boats, but none of sufficient
gravity or authenticity to warrant ar
rest. One of the difficulties in follow
ing such complaints, the report says
is that there is no record kept or pro-
yided for for the registration Of boats
This, the chief insector says, should
be overcome by the passage of an act
requiring the registration of power
boats, for which a nominal fee should
be charged, and a penalty imposed
for non-registration within a re asona-
BILE time.
The department has become almost
self-sustaining, having collected in Ii
cense fees ,132

Columbia in the Field of Agricultural
Education.
Delaware county milk, Orange coun-
ty butter, Ulster county berries,
Dutchess county apples and eggs, and
Long Island vegetables, together with
the produce of other large sections in
Connecticut and New Jersey could be
increased many fold in quantity and
with vast improvement in the I
quality. The financial results which
would follow with lessened cost to con-
sumers and increased wealth to pro-
ducers, can hardly be estimated.
AS preliminary step in the direc-
tion Of establishing instruction in ag-
ricultural education in the proximity
of New York, course of thirteen lee
lures on Economic Agriculture will
be offered under the Faculty of APP
piled Science at Columbia university,
beginning on Tuesday, January 18th
and continuing on successive Tues
days. These lectures, while dealing
with scientific aspects of the subjects
announced in the course, will be di-
vested as much as possible of techni-
calities. The instruction will be of a
practical nature, not only to those
who are directly engaged in farm oper-
tions, but also to any who are inter-
ested in the agricultural conditions
and problems of the country.
The introductory lecture on the de-
velopment of agriculture and country
life, as well as several of the succeed
ing lectures, will be delivered by Mrs.
George T. Powell, President of the
Agricultural Experts Association.
All the lecturers in this course are
men of scientific training and attain
ment, who are actively connected
with the practical affairs of Agrfcul-
ture. Several of them own large
farms upon which the most advanced
methods of farming and of horticul-
tural work are being carried out.
Further information in regard to
the course may be had by applying to
the Secretary Of Columbia university.

ME sA DEPARTMEM1
Died of Pneumonia At Home Near Mesa
No Arrangements for Funeral Have
 Vet Been Made.

Mrs. L. Emerson died Monday after noon at o'clock of pneumonia at her home about five miles southeast of town. Her death was preceded by an improvement and an apparent recov- cry of strength. which was quickly fol- lowed. however. by more than cor respondingly great relapse. No arr engagements for the funeral were made yesterday, but it will probably be held in Mesa. Interment will be made in the Masonic cemetery near Phoenix.
 Mrs. Emerson was a sister of Mrs. NJ. J. Galpin. and an aunt of Mrs. Max Viault Two children survive her, a daughter living in Brainerd. Minnesota. and a son who is a draftsman for a large establishment in Berkeley. Cali fornia.

They Found 6irand
 Willing To Accede
Surveys for Territorial Highway to Be
 Made Through HisIey District.

Surveys for the territorial road be- tween Mesa and Florence will be made within a week or ten days. according to assurances given Monday afternoon by J. B. Girand. the territorial engineer, to quintet of Mesa men consisting of J. A. Stewart. J. NJ. Lisenbee, J. Beal. David Love and l.. H. Sorey. who went over to Phoenix to discuss the matter with him.
 They found Mir. Girand at about the right time and in about tine proper frame of minL for their purpose, and laid their proposition before him for the territory to accept the road in ex- istence from Mesa through the Hig- ley district and on to Florence Some of this road, especially after it passes Higley. is rather indefinite. But it is usable and can be made into a satis- factory highway at a relatively low cost.
 As matter of fact, Mir. Beal ex- plained yesterday. the chief item of expense would be the construction of several bridges necessary to afford a passage over numerous gullies. small and large.
 Engineer Girand fell in with the idea at once and gave it his immediate sanction. His surveying party. he said. is now doing field work. in the vicinity of Globe. When that task Is finished. which will be in about a week, the party will be transferred to Mesa, and will commence the survey of the road to Florence.
 While the completion of the road, after the territory has begun working on it. is somewhat indefinite as to dates. MT. Beai is confident that it will be finished in thirty days or there about.
 A territorial road to Florence has been practical certainty for some months. but the rout which has been figured upon up to the present time lies along the transmission line It received first consideration primarily because road is already in existence there. But by running the highway through thes Higley district, not only Is that section particularly favored. but the road is rendered much more ac- cessible to Mesa. It will also have the protection of the railroad grading in time of flood. That is the way the proponents of the Higley route figured it. and Mir. Girand saw the force of their argument
 While not detracting trade from the railroad to any appreciable extent, it is believed that the establishment of the territorial highway will be of ma terial benefit in making the farming communities along the way readily ac- cessible to each other by wagon. a need which is coming to be felt with increasing force.

GOING TO PHOENIX.

E Marshal Hi. Peterson and Constable Burton are going over to Phoenix to- day to be present as witnesses at the hearing of Walter Brundage. Constable Burton's knowledge of the affair Is not exhaustive. but he has been subpoenaed as a witness and must necessarily serve. The hearing. although in this instance rather a formality. Is con- ducted as a trial with counsel for the defendant and the territory. It is in tended to substantiate or disprove the charge laid before Judge Kent a few days ago to the effect that BrundaSe has violated the terms of his parole. and is subject to the imposition of sentence on a former charge of burg iary.

Ronald Ellsworth and Wesley Mill lett went on hunting trip at o'clock Monday morning. promising to be back by o'clock. They returned at dark with good supply of ducks. rabbits and doves. Tn explaining why they were so far behind time they said they struck the train of a queer kind of game. which when followed for a long distance brought them to a cou- pie of coyotes. They killed the coyotes but failed to bring back to town any evidence thereof. They did bring back. however. four weary limbs and a couple of badly sunburned noses.

H-HUNTER Ma1e,gsr
Shattuck. Store
 Sold To New RirGl
Alexander and Bracket Will Take
 Charge on March.

The Shattuck- Nimmo si;ores and warehouse. involving all the business. wholesale and retail. were purchased yesterday by the Alexander atnd Brack- cit company. composed of J. w. Alex ander and c. F. Bracket. The new firm will assume charge on March l. Owing to the building and the large amount of stock involved. the sale con- stitutes perhaps the most important mercantile transaction in Mesa for a year or more.
 Rumors of an attempt at a deal be- tween the two parties to the transfer fere current several weeks ago. but nothing definite was known until yes- terday Mir. Bracket himself announced the purchase. saying that an agree ment had been signed on that day and payment on the purchase price made. The sale itself is complete but there remain certain matters of minor im- pOrtance concerning which statements win be made later.
 Mir. Alexander is new to the busi- ness community of Mesa. but he has had. nevertheless. eleven years ex- perience at the head of an important grocery establishment at Needles. Con- corning MT. Bracket little need be said. for he requires no introduction to the Mesh public. Taking charge of the Shattuck- Nimmo warehouse here when 1t vas only a depot for transferring supplies to the grading camps and to. Roosevelt. he has en- larged it into a big wholesale and retail business. And not only that, but through his business acumen and per- sonal integrity he has created for the establishment ar enviable reputation.
 The offices of the Mesa-Roosevelt Stage company will remain in the store and the affairs of the new firm will be conducted along the same gen. eral lines as those of the proceeding management.
