MESA ID HAVE
 ADDITION ON EAST
Forty Acre Tract Recently Purchased
 by Mrs. w. A. kimball.

The final papers in the sale of the forty acres of land immediately east of Mesa City and south of the Roose- welt road were signed yesterday transferring the tract from II. l.. Chandler to Mrs. w. A. Kimball. the consideration being fifteen thousand dollars The deal was made through W T. Payne.
 However. possibly the real signifi- canoe of the transfer is that the western portion of the tract will be surveyed today and on the eighteenth of the month will be sold in build ing lots at public auction.
 The plans of the sale of lots in what is to be known as the Kimball addition. includes a number of fea- lures. The more important induce ments being that water will be piped to all lots as well as gas. The terms of the sale it is understood are to be reasonable so that practically every one who has the inclination may own home.
 Special arrangements have been made whereby the residents of Flor oHNN' NlHhleIlldi anu otner tOWnS on the P. x &E. as well as Phoenix and Tempe on the west, may reach the city on that date at greatly reduced rates A free lunch will be served on the ground, including hot biscuits and coffee cooked on gas range and with gas for fuel. A beef is to be barbecued in the forenoon which practically insureS that on that do,- no resident of Mesa or visitor with in the gates need go away from the sale hungry.

 Tempe-Phoenix Road to Be
 Repaired THE WORK ORDERED DONE Committee From Tempe Board of Trade Called Upon Board of Supervis- ors Yesterday Morning to Talk the Matter Over.
THE WORK ORDERED DONE

An interesting meeting of the Tempe board of trade was held Monday even ing for the principal purpose of con sidcring some means of repairing the county road between here and Phoenix. be done for this road within ;he next thirty days, before the date of the ter ritorial fair. At that time there is more travel over that road by machine and rig than any other time during the year, and anyone who has travelled that highway at any time within the past six weeks will readily admit that it is a shame to ask people to drive an auto or rig over it in it's present condition if there is any possible way of improv- ing it
 The plan which it is hoped to adopt in the repair of the highway was briefly outlined in The Republican a short time ago. It is this: that the board of supervisors supply sprinkler wagon to which is attached a gasoline engine pump. With this equipment water can be taken from the canals or the river anywhere along the road and as the chuck holes are filled in with caliche. they can be soaked down with water anu BeiIhtN A Ath dpllSlA , expended in this manner will make a wonderful difference in the road.
 committee consisting of Halbert Miller. J. B. Cook, G. R, Finch and R. J. Schweppe was and appointed by the the board of trade to confer with the Phoenix board of trade and the board of supervisors and ascertain just what can be done in the matter This com mittee went to Phoenix yesterday morning and with a committee from the Phoenix board of trade called at the office of the board of supervisors. There it was found, to the delight and satisfaction of the committee that he board had already been in conference with Road Superintendent Acuff over that identical matter, and that MT. Acuff's suggestion, which is the one outlined a short time ago in these col umns, had been accepted by the board. further that the work had been ordered done and will commence immediately. It will be complete in every detail, too. The mile and a half of road the other side of the half way house and which is now in horrible shape, will be graded and graveled. All other chuck holes
 
 in and soaked down and the indications are that within a very short time the conditions of this piece of road will be vastly improved.
 The board suggested to the Tempe committee that inasmuch as it is now proposed to get busy and accomplish something on the county road, the com- mittee recommend to the Tempe city council that it get to work on the river crossing, which is within the city linn it's. The board suggests that the grade on the north side of the river be re- duced and the road across the sandy bottoms be covered with stFaw The council will no doubt act on this sug gestion and when the river crossing is repaired and the road between here and Phoenix put in good shape, a trip to Phoenix by rig or automobile will be less of an adventure and more of pleasure than it is now.

FISH FUR
 RESERVOIR Shipment Of Forty Tanks
 Arrived Yesterday FIVE DISTINCT VARIETIES
Protection and Time will Insure Good Fishing Ground At Roosevelt. Care With Which Breed ing Stock Is Handled.

A special car in which were carried forty tanks of live fish arrived yes terday noon from Meredosia, III, in ! charge of H. l.. Garfield and Chas
 Fraser and were last night taken ov- ! erland to Roosevelt in two wagons and will be given their freedom to- day or tomorrow in the Roosevelt lake. The shipment included the fol- lowing five varieties: Black bass, yellow perch. Dream. catfish and crappie It is impossible to estimate the number of fish in the shipment it being matter which the men in charge did not care to approximate from the fact that the length of the varieties run all the way from two to twelve inches.
 The loss en route has been prac- tically nothing from the fact that every convenience is offered for the preservation of the lives of the fin nv tribes from the time they leave the hatcheries until safely located in their future homes. The car is pro- vided with an engine which forces
  air is pumped in at the side of the car and is then forced through rubber
 tubes into the tanks passing through perforated pieces of wood into the water causing bubbles to be continu- ally formed on the top of the water at all times. By this means the
 water in the cans does not become stale and when kept at tempera- ture which the fish has been acCus- toned to they fare we'll They are
 never fed while en route nor will they be fed at Roosevelt, it being
 the supposition that when they are
 turned loose that they will soon
 learn that true Arizonians must seek their own wherewithal No special
 attention will be paid to the giving
 of the fish their freedom only that
 the small ones will be taken at con
 siderable distance from the point where the larger ones are deposited
 The success of the present eXperi
 ment is somewhat problematical The
 variety of fish named above have proven beyond a doubt that they can
 live and thrive in a climate such as at Rooseelt and in water such as that above the dam. The fish are of var
 jed sizes and should follow out the command to replenish the lake and
 will so so unless some unforeseen combination of circumstances should prevent They will be given all due protection from the government and
 within a few years should be will
 ing to make themselves martyrs to good cause and especially should they feel duty bound to repay their debt of gratitude for their kind treatment
 The fish, if left to themselves, and condition are favorable. will multi ply rapidly. The bass female for in stance may be depended upon to de- posit between two and three thousand eggs which will all turn to fish in due time The yellow perch are even more prolific than the bass. At the hatcheries the loss is always small in matching, sometimes there being no loss and at other times between two and three per cent It is the opinion of the experts in charge of the shipment that the Roosevelt lake should offer no disturbing features toward the industry and that the in crease will be entirely satisfactory.

HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
 IN REGULAR SESSION
The Readjustmsnt of the Salaries of
 Certain Teachers.

The regular monthly meeting of the Tempe union high school was held Monday evening with all members of the board present. There was not d great deal of importance to come be for the meeting and aside from the auditing and payment of the regular monthly bills, about all else that came up was the adjustment of the propor- ton of the superintendeut's salary that should be paid by the public school. This adjustment, in the case of the superintendent and also the other teachers who devote a portion of their time to the public school was made on the basis of the time spent in the school For instance, it is figured that the teacher of music and elocution equally divides her time between the high and grammar schools, consequent ly each pays One-half her salary.

was given instead of the gloves, the

the famous feast OF asses Of the mid

Christ step forward on one side and
six gentiles On the other. Two advo.
Gates stand i,ei weeu them.
"The Lord is made man." the gen
