Unfortunately he did not do SO, and
last Saturday had to be taken to the
county Jail for safe keeping. For
number of days he knew no one, but
yesterday greeted the Times man
whom he has known for over thirteen
years, in a rational manner. He was
quizzed closely, as the quizzer was
somewhat posted, and answered every
question intelligently. The many
friends of Aleck will be glad to know
that this improvement is taking place
and hope that under the care of DR..
Emmett Smythe and Jailor Wells he
will be once more be given back that
most precious of all physical treasures

Doc Wells was feeding him bully and
that he slept well and had no more
dizzy spells. The name jailor CRATES
upon the sensibilities of most people
but when the appellation is applied
to the individuality of humanitarian
such as Washington county's jailor is,
it takes on the sound-my brother S

HE REMODEL|NG
 OF THE COLISEUM
Mesa Will Have Three Theaters Next
 Winter

That Mesa will have three theater buildings in commission the coming winter appears to be assured from the announcements made yesterday by Charles Lapham and Jack Turner to the effect that the Coliseum, which has heretofore been an airdome, will be roofed and in all probability floOred and the fixtures throughout remodeled; making it into a regular theater.
 Not only do the plans now prepared call for remodeling of the Coliseum but also that the following winter will see the theater in active competition with vaudeville and in all probability will increase in weighty attractions as the regular theatrical season advances.
 The extensive improvements call for the expenditure of two thousand dol lars, which it is understood is already available.
 It is the concensus of opinion that in the southwest for its size, but whether it will be able to support three theaters is q matter that remains to be seen and cannot be foretOld
 While the expenditure of two thou sand dollars on third play house is more or less of a venture. it will cer- tainly be the means of furnishing entertainment throughout the winter. season that should be appreciated by the residents of the town and the sur rounding country.

 The above resolution was unani

It was un der a Tempe date line and presum ably was written by the Tempe cor respondent of shat paper. It is granted that some of the statements made in the article have some truth in them. The chances are that so long as there is a saloon in Tempe and probably even after there are none. there will be drunken Yaquis in and about town now and then. but the statements that "The condition is such that 1t is not safe for wo- men and children to be left alone at

 In the event that arrangements can Evergreen addition, north of the city, a plan is already on foot to install private pumping plant which will in clude the boring of a well eight inches in diameter and one hundred and fifty feet deep. Since an electric line is to be run to the addition the pump will be operated by motor and the water furnished at cost not to exceed that in the event that the city water is used. Negotiations were entered into yesterday for the purchase of the II. l.. Chandler system, which prior to the in stallation of the city plant was used for furnishing water to a good portion of the business houses of the town
 Just what action the council will take in the matter since the committee on investigation is prepared to report was not known yesterday afternoon The report of that committee will in all probability determine to a large ex- tent the action of the council in the matter The report in question will of course not be given out until -he meet ing of the council for the considera- tion of the selling of water to the owners of the Evergreen addition.
 It might be said in this connection that County Treasurer Don C. Rabbit has purchased ten acres from his father which lie immediately west of the Evergreen addition and plans to run street which is known as sixth street east and west between Robinson !, continued north.

The Republican was in error in a recent issue in stating that the Knights of Pythias lodge paraphernalia would be moved Monday into the new Ma honey building. It is understood that the hall is practically ready for occu- pancy. but that the fixtures will have to be installed before the moving can be done It was suggested at the last meeting of the lodge that the para phernalia might be moved Monday. but no action was taken on the matter. The moving is a matter that is in the hands of a committee consisting of Dr Drane and Professor H. Q. Robertson.

would take deeds in escrow for the property to be delivered when the plant should be in successful oper ation This proposition having been accepted by the board of trade, rep resenting the people of Tempe, there would seem to be nothing in the way now to prevent the company from going ahead with the work.
 F. l.. Tupper, the constructing en- gineer for the company was present at the meeting Thursday evening and expressed himself as very much gratified at the action of the board. Before returning to Phoenix yester- day morning Mir. Tupper said: T can see now no possibility of a hitch in the proceedings and if there is none, we will have things moving in short time I expect to leave in a day or two for Los Angeles to ar range for some necessary material to be used in the construction of the plant and immediately upon my re- turn, will proceed with the work of moving the mill from Roosevelt to Tempe. If there are no unforeseen difficulties. l expect to have the plant in operation by the first of February It may be possible to even make better time than that but the weather will have to be talk en into consideration. The task of moving the plant is a rather large one. There will probably be seventy five loads of material to he moved, and this will take some time"
 So much for the companys side of the contract Now as to what Tempe will have to do. w. T. Cum mings and F. l.. Warner have each agreed to contribute a certain amount of land and on liberal terms will sell certain amount more. The total expense for the forty acres, part of which will be contributed and part of which will be purchased will amount to s4OO. This amount is to be raised by popular subscription and from the manner in which the matter was taken a hold of at the meeting the other evening it is not thought that there will be any diff ficulty in raising the required amount.
 committee of three was appoint ed by the board to prepare sub scription list and circulate 1t, taking signatures for the required s400. This money is not to be collected until the plant is in operation so no one stands a chance of losing anything for it is figured that if the plant is put into operation. it will mean a great deal to the town and will. be well worth the money donated. If it is not put into operation no one will be out anything but the members of the committee who will have to de-
 vote a certain amount of time to the
 matter. The committee appointed
 consists Of R J. Schweppe, G. R Finch and F. w. Griffen. The com
 mittee began work yesterday with very gratifying results and expects to have the necessary amount se- cured by tonight over a hundred dollars of the needed money wa:
 subscribed in five minutes at tho
 meeting and there was no large at tendance either.

 That nowhere in Maricopa cOun- ty is the effect of the whiskey evil to be so fully seen and experienced as in Tempe at the present time
 That in the main streets and on the outskirts the spectacles of drunken men are common. The of ficers are not to blame. They do their duty as far as in them lies the possibility The seat of the trOu . ble lies in the barrel from which comes the liquor that makes inno- cent children playing on the lawns of their own homes seek refuge in fear and trembling behind closed doors It is that which makes wo- men hesitate about going abroad without escort for fear of insult or worse"
 These are absolutely without foundation, absolutely false and are an injustice to the town. Tempe has always enjoyed the reputation of be- ing an orderly town and its resi- dents know it to be such. An arti- cle such as was printed in the Ga Zette can have little or no effect on the home people. They know better and merely consider the source l. is the chance that the paper will fall into the hands of outsiders who are not aware of the real conditions. and who may then be given a mis- taken impression that has caused SC much indignation among the people of Tempe.
 It is of course any papers privi lege to pose as a reform paper but in so doing it should at least con fine itself to the facts.
 At the conclusion of the cement business at the board meeting th, other evening. the question of tho article was taken up. Among thosr present were men who represent tn, better class of people of Tempe With single exception they wer, loud in the expression of their in dienation at the article. Many sim liar expressions were heard on tho street yesterday morning. ever among those who are known to b' strong temperance people.
 The article is calculated to d.. Tempe a great deal of injury and the writer of it and the paper print ing it. knowing much of it to be exaggerated. is deserving of a great deal of criticism

Considerable anxiety was felt Thurs day evening over the disappearance of the 4-year- old child of William Riggs. The parents were much concerned over the matter, thinking that perhaps the lad had wandereday away and would suffer injury. However. it developed later in the evening that the lad with out notifying his parents had accom- panied Henry Riggs to the Bullock ranch northeast of town.
