MORE CUSTOMS FRAUDS ARE
DISCOVERED: DRAWBACK CHEAT!

New York Dec. 22.-Customs agents
from the treasury deartment and spe-
cial agents Of the department of JUS
tice are making another investigation
which promises to add another chapter
to the story of the sugar frauds An
alleged abuse, of the drawback" privi-
Ieges. principally at New York. Is I'M
der investigation and one official says
the revelations promise to put the gov
eminent in position to recover nearly
as much as in the underweight cases
when more than 100000 was paid
to the treasury
When sugar is imported it pays a
duty. unless coming from the Philip
pines, and when it is manufactured
into a product and in that form ex-
ported, the duty is refunded in the
form of drawback" except one per-
cent, which is retained to defray the
cost of tariff administration.
Some of the Investigations are said
to have shown that the government
has been defrauded in the drawbacks"
it has allowed on syrups. 1t is charged
that the refunds have been paid on
high grades OF sugar commanding high
duties, while in fact a very low grade
of sugar was used.

road to Roosevelt"
The road was built in 1904. or rather.
it was begun in that year. Itswas pre-
liminary to the construction of the
great Salt river valley, Arizona, pro-
ject, which is to irrigate 255,000 acres
of desert land and which is now COM

was all but impossible TO drive pack
train over the trail and machinery and
supplies for a big construction camp
were out of the question.
The road from Phoenix to the dam is
so miles in length. but only 60 Of this,
from Mesa to, the dam, is Of government
construction, and it cost a total OF
S1S0,000 per mile. In many places the
road is but II foot shelf hung over an
abyss 1900 feet deep. In one place there
is an ascent of 500 feet in Il quarter of
a mile and in no place throughout the
whole 40 miles is there a straight
stretch 900 yards in length.

COOK WITH GAS SAYS
 SOUTHSIDE GAS co.
It Will Furnish the Fuel Within Four
 Months.

Cook with gas. From now on that will be the slogan of the South Side Gas company. and within four months it will be furnishing the said gas to Mesa housewives. The family cook stove will then be sold for what it will bring. and the modern gas range will banish the wood problem. The gas plant will furnish Tempe and Mesa with fuel. and it will probably be located at Mesa. although no defi- mite site has yet been selected.
 At a meeting of the board of di rectors of the South Side Gas com pany held yesterday in the companys offices in Chandler court. the plans for the installation of the plant sub mitted by l.. A. McGillivery of Los Angeles were reviewed and accepted
 The directors entered into con- tract with Mir. McGillivery. whereby he agrees to have the plant installed and ready for operation within four months. The contract deals solely with the plant, and has no bearing upon the distributing system. That lies with the company. A large DOT ton of the pipe is already at hand and the laying of it to residences will be completed by the time the plant is ready to generate the gas.
 The entire gas system. including plant and distributing lines will cost between s45.OO0 and s5O,OOO As the name of the company suggests. the project includes the furnishing of gas to Tempe as well as to Mesa. all though it is highly probable. accord ing to one of the most influential of the directors. that the plant will be located here.
 The company claims no connection with the Pacific Gas & Electric com pany or with any other foreign cor poration. It is composed entirely of local men of well known business acumen. integrity and progressive ness. who desire to furnish a grow ing town with one more modern as set

THE FOUR MESA ROAD
 DISTRICTS ARE MERGED
Supervisors Consolidate Districts .And
 Make Dana Overseer.

At a meeting of the board of coun- ty supervisors held yesterday after noon in Phoenix. the four road dis tricts surrounding Mesa were con- soiidated and will be handled in the future as one district. Hugh Dana. previously an overseer of one of the districts. will have supervision over the new system.
 The three other road overseers. who had charge each of his respective dis trict, were three Georges: George Millett, George Vance and George Rogers. They have presumably been apprised by the board of supervisors of the consolidation into one district.
 The action of the board was based upon it's opinion that the condition of the roads leading out into the country from Mesa is such that the services of four overseeds are not so necessary as in the past, when the public thor ougbfares were in less excellent shape. That being true. the super visors believe the work of mainte- nance and repair can be carried on efficiently by one man. Mir. Dana in this instance, who will have charge of the entire road district.
 This action on the part of the board is not intended by them to be con- strued as an act to the detriment of the roads surrounding Mesa. The roads are now in splendid condition. with the exception Of some miles far out south and east of town, and these latter will be put into shape as rapidly as may be-

ONE CENT PER POUND
 WITH SECRET REBATES
For the Man Who Draws a Three
 Hundred Founder.

One cent per pound per girl will he the admission tariff to the NJ. I. A. dance, which will be held at the Mesa Opera house tonight. and it will profit a man nothing to pick out the small est girl he knows. For he will pay for some other girl who went in with some other fellow before he gets there. And the way it will be worked will be just this:
 When a girl enters the door her weight will be recorded on a piece of paper and dropped into a hat A man entering will put his hand into the hat draw out slip recording cer- tain number of pounds, live weight. and pay accordingly.
 If he draws the weight slip of some 90-pound maiden, well and good: he pays 90 cents and considers himself fortunate. On the other hand, if he gets one reading IFS. he pays, smiles cheerfully. and goes head-first into the dance to get his moneys worth
 The committee in charge of the af- fair have considerably arranged for who would otherwise have to pay in the neighborhood of S3.
 This change in the usual rates gov erning admissions was made at a re cent meeting of the officers of the young ladies and young mems NJ | A. and came about through a desire of the said officers to add a spice of novelty to the dance
