AeropIane Trust

The Wright brothers have claimed to be
the orlginators of aeroplane flights, but yet
it appears that in important respects they
were following the lead of the Santa Clara
professor who theoretically applied the
scientific curves and warpings which are
features Of the best aeroplane construction
This goes far to nullify the claims of the
newly organized Wright company or aero
plane trust, to exclusive patents sufficient to
give them a monopoly of aeroplane construc-
tion in the United States.-Sacramento Bee.

NJ SORENESS
 IN THIS SPOT Mesa Republicans Satisfied With Their Efforts
 DID THEIR LEVEL BEST
Effected a Division of Hith- erto Reliably Democratic Precinct. The Republi- cans Also Made Gains in Lehi and Alma

Without a sore spot or a blemish. the faithful republican band of workers who gathered around the telephone of- flee Monday evening at this place to hear of the victory of the democratic candidates, took their medicine in a manly manner cognizant of the fact that they had done their level best. Mesa has the honor of being the ban ner republican precinct of the county not that any republican majorities were rolled, for such was not the case However, Mesa is a democratic pre- cinct-is now and always has been to that time in ancient history when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Add to this democratic pre- cinct the avalanche of voters who de- sire to get a taste of that panacea for all that ails yOu," the initiative, ref erendum and recall, then consider the returns. Peters, Steward, Christy and Heard carried the precinct for the re- publicans, while Baker Moeur. Stand age, Franklin and Orme carried the precinct for the democrats by a very small majority. The Mexican vote was splintered into a thousand pieces, one over enthusiastic hombre voting for thirty-six candidates. However. be- tween the republicans and the demo- crats the vote was about equal. Local republicans are exceptionally well pleased with the returns from Mesa precinct and those who are acquainted with the facts in the case, having a faint idea of the number of good re- pff the in itiative and referendum, are excep- tionally well pleased. Not only did the republicans gain in the face of the | landslide in Mesa precinct, but also Tn Lehi and Alma. Life long democrats not only voted but worked for the re- publican ticket and it is to them that the local victory is due.
 In point of returns Tempe furnished encouragement to those who sat and listened to the count of the county votes. but Tempe was expected to be republican, But it did nobly in hold ing it's own.
 The county and territorial returns were sufficient to make the democrats jubilant They had the right to be jul bilant, yet in that happiness they were sobered by their responsibility. They have the writing of cOnstitution-not small undertaking-and they have begun to realize the imporatnce of do- ing it well. They realize to a certain extent that party lines were disregard ed and that they were elected on the initiative plank. The question at issue is not 'Is the initiative right?" but will the initiative be acceptable and con o constitution he written with the democratic principles engrafted there in which will be approved by the presi- dent and congress?"

MESA
CHANGES FOR UPTOWN
 WESTERN UNION OFFICE

H. H. Custead, who returned from a
 seven weeks visit with his parents in
 Whittier, California, reports that while
 on the coast he made two visits to the
 superintendent of the Western Union
 company at Los Angeles and in a con
 versation with that official got his promise to take the matter of an up
 town office for Mesa up with his su-
 periors in the immediate future and that there was a probability that the request of the business men of Mesa would be granted MT. Custead fur nshed him with information concern ing the location of the town with re- spect to the Western Union wire, which
 is now in connection with the Phoenix
 x Eastern telegraph wire. Other data of a similar nature was also asked for
 and the same will be furnished the general manager in San Francisco. MT. Custead was informed that one of the | obstacles in the way of better accom- modations was in the congested busi- ness at Phoenix. However, he eX- plained that copper wire was being strung between Fl Paso and Phoenix which would relieve the situation al | the capital city and would then offer | better service to Mesa.
 However, MT. Custeau did not look after the Western Union affair alto gether while away. He laid in a supply of jewelry for his store, among which ! was a very complete line of Abalone shell work which will be on display in | his windows today.

ANDRE BLDG. THREATENED A Serious Fire There Mar. roWIy AvePted
 GASOLINE CAUGHT FIRE Two Machines Were Slight
 ly Damaged in the Ahl-
 quist Garage and Half a
 Dozen Bicycles Were De-
 stroyed Monday Night

Tempe wound up the incidents of election day with a highly exciting and what looked for a moment to be a very dangerous fire. It was about ten o'clock when the street was filled with people talking over the election returns when fire broke out in the garage of Ahlquist X Company in the Andre building. The alarm was promptly given and the fact that there were so many men on the street who gave their prompt assistance was no doubt responsible for the small amount of damage that was done compared to what might have happened had there been fewer people on the street.
 The c. F. Mullen machine had been run into the garage after busy day for a fresh supply of gasoline. $. z. Earl, one of the proprietors of the garage, was engaged in filling the tank of the car when suddenly the gasoline burst into a flame How it ignited is still a mystery to MT Earl. The front lights were burning on the car but were some distance from the gasoline tank and it hardly seems possible that they could have been responsible for the conflagra- tion. That, however, seems to be the only solution of the problem Be that as it may, however, the fact re- mains that in a moment the entire front of the machine, the floor where the gasoline had been spilled when

TEMPE DEPARTMENT
E. ". GRIFFEN,
 Manager

Mir. Earl was obliged to drop the burning can and every thing in that part of the garage was in a blaze. The top of he machine quickly ig nited but the blazing car was hur- ried out and across the street to where a Hose was in operation. The fire on the machine was quickly eX- tinguished with little damage to it., other than to the top. In the mean time, the flames were making rapid progress in front of the building Part of the gasoline must have spread over a rack of bicycles that were standing close by for these quickly caught fire. They were car ried to the street by willing hands and the flames put out as rapidly as possible, while other citizens devoted their attention to the flames that were rapidly making headway on the front of the bupilding and the avn ings. These awnings were torn down and the spread of the flames mater tally checked by that means. The Peters machine was near the front of the garage and it's top soon caught
 e. It was hurried across the street to the small hose that was in operation and the flames on it were soon punt ut
 By the time the two hose com panies arrived with the hose carts, the flames were pretty well under control and a stream of water soon put the finishing touches to the fire, likewise breaking out a front glass in h.. Lrtfl out, there were still a few blazing wheels scattered about the street but these were soon put out and within a very short time after the fire started, it was all over and some estimate of the damage could be taken. It was not until yesterday morning that it was possible to as certain just how much the damage really amounted to. The Mullen machine was not hurt to any extent, aside from the top and Mir Mullen found it in sufficiently good shape to run home. The Peters machine lost most of the cloth and leather work of the top but was otherwise un- harmed
 The greatest damage was done to bicycles that had been left at the garage for work and were either re paired and were being worked on. There were perhaps twenty or thirty lined up in a rack on each side of the room and many of them were badly damaged. There were proba- bly half a dozen that were totally wrecked and as many more that had the tired burned off or ruined. The damage to the company will proba- by not exceed a couple of hundred dollars but is unfortunate for just at this time the firm has under con struction another garage of a more modern twpe and had planned to move into it within a few weeks. The damage to the building
 great and will probably be covered by a hundred dollars or so. Con sidering, however, what might have happened under the circumstances. the proprietOrs of the garage and the owner of the building have req son to he thankful that they escaped with as little damage as they did.

A Few Particulars That Were Not
 Mentioned Yesterday.

The election in Tempe on Monday. the particulars of which were men tioned in yesterdays paper. demon strated at least one fact and that is that while there may not be any Re publicans elsewhere in the county to speak of, there are few of the genuine article in Tempe.
 After the polls had been closed Monday evening it was concluded that the more rapid method of count ing the votes would be to separate the straight from the split tickets. This was done and it was seen that the republicans had voted 1S0 straight tickets while the democrats had piled up 12O. This proportion was maintained almost straight

 The first day of school hardly ever represents an enrolment for the year and it is safe to say that no less than fifty or a hundred more fill be added to the enrolment of the grammar grades before the Christmas holidays.
