NO BID ON BONDS
OF new ORLEANS
City Unable TO Obtain Funds For
Proposed improvements.
MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT FELT

Municipal Betterments to Cost Seven
Million Dollars Likely to BE Held
Up Neutrality-suspicious. as though
the Crescent City Was Hardly In
Position to Finance Worlds
Exposition.
New Orleans has no bidders for
her 100000 of sewerage ronds and
water bonds and it looks rs though
her greatest project for municipal i'm
provement would be held up indefi-
nitely through lack of funds 10 pros
eCute the work. 1t would seem as
though New Orleans was hardly in
a position to finance a Worlds expo
sition, even with the aid of the state
of Louisiana, when her local tankers
refuse to purchase her Icnds on
their own terms.
Tht financial predicament of San
Franciscos rival for exposition hon
ors is toll in the following PRESS dis
patch from the Crescent City:
New Orleans, La.-Oct. A.-De-
spite several months of negotiation
through the Hibernia Bank and Trust
company, and in spite of Z special
act of the last Legislature to facili-
tate the financial negotiations, when
the city board of liquidation met at
noon today there was no bid for the
100000 Improvement bonds by
which the great sewerage and water
project of this city was to have
been been completed.
Much disappointment is felt at
the failure of the bonds to sell, as
this great municipal project may be
seriously delayed Mayor Hehrman
and City Attorney I. D. Moo:e. both
issued statements tonight explaining
the reasons.
About year ago, the Interstate
Bank and Trust company agreed to
finance the 100000 bond issue pro-
vided it was given the benefit of be-
ing the depository of the funds COL
lected at per cent interest," The
contention was raised that lie bond
taker could not be the DEPOSITORY.
Then legislative enactment was Sc
cured to make it legal for the buyer
to become the fiscal agent of the
funds, but still the bonds are unsold."

Hint to Louisiana,

Louisiana will have to be up and
doing If it is to capture the Panama
International Exposition Of 1915. A
special session of the Calf ornia leg
islature has proposed two amend
ments to the state constitution which
will allow an additional s10.0OO,O0O
for the financing of the exposition,
and over 100000 has already been
provided by private subscriptions

Will Paw Its Own Bills,

San Francisco boosters are going
about in the most practical way to
secure support for their proposed
exposition. They have raised a large
sum of money, more than was ever
invested in an exposition in America,
and propose to pay their own bills
without tapping the government till.
This will commend San Francisco to

The Napa Register says tina master
of the State Grange expresses the
sentiments of the people living in
that section when he says Of the pro-
posed Panama-Pacific exposition:
"An exposition Of this nature, if
properly managed, can not fai' to be
of vast benefit, not only to California,
but to the whole Pacific coast. I be-
heye the Grange will do well to favor
and encourage the movement"

 Mir LeBaron wears rubber soled shoes. When the parade started down Main street there was general rush for the front door. with President Le- sueur. principal owner of the store, good four jumps in the lead. A clerk in each department had been desig- mated to watch their respective sides of the establishment. but they too became interested in the parade and bV the time the second band came in sight were doing their best to see from one end of the long cavalcade to the other It was at this time that MT.

They state that they have completed the road for a dis tance of over two miles and that in order to get to their work at : o'clock they have to leave the camp at 6:15 in the morning, leaving the work again at F and back to work again at o'clock. In order to get in the nine hours. they claim that they were compelled to work until o'clock and then return to camp again on their own time. They claim that they would not object to going to work or return ing from work on their own time. but they do object to both going and re- turning on their own time. at the rate of S35 per month, with Sundays counted out on them.

It was understood by the men returning yesterday that arrangements had been completed whereby force of Indians will be put to work in the place of the men who walked out. Mir. Thompson. it will be remembered. was one of the most successful superintendents on the Roosevelt road work, and it was he who used the Indian labor to such a good advantage.

Assuring Him That His Help in Matter of En- abling Act For Tempe is Both Needed and Appre- ciated
Tempe, Ariz.. April 23.. Hon. Ralph N. Cameron, Washington, Q. C.
 Accept our appreciation ot your efforts for our enabling act. We need and appreciate your help.
 ]. A.. DIMES, Mayor.
 CITIZENS OF TEMPE.

Above is a copy of the telegram that was yesterday dispatched to Delegate Ralph Cameron. The thought in sending it was that 1t would not only convey to NIT. Cam eron the appreciativeness of the citizens of Tempe of his work in introducing the bill but might also in a measure be of assistance to him in getting the bill through.
 If the bill should pass. and there Is reason to believe that it will. though there will. no doubt. be some opposi- ton to it. it will then be up to the people of Tempe to say by vote whether or not the bonds shall be is sued Inasfar as the bonds for lighting system are concerned. there seems to he question in the minds or many as to which will be the proper and best course to pursue. Pubic sentiment seems at this time to be fairly evenly divided on the question. Only vote will tell the real situation. A good many people are opposed to bonding the town to any extent on general principles while others take a broader view and are hopeful that bonds for the light and power system. the city hall and also the bonds for a sewerage system will pass.
 The need of city hall is obvious. though. of course. the town can plod along for years to come as it has in years past without one. but some day there may he a fire that will destroy books and papers belonging 10 the town that are of incalculabie value and which can never been replaced. The new city hall will provide 2 vault for these things. Then again the present jail is not fit building for its purpose or any other purpose for that matter. It is hot in summer and cold in winter and unsanitary at all times. new and better jail will. of course. be constructed with the new city hall. These are only a couple of the many features of advantage in the proposed new building.
 However of the three items men tioned. the sewerage system is by all means tine most urgent and most neces- sary. The town can continue to Strug gle along with it's present lighting sys tenn. may continue to manage without city hall but the time is not far dis tant when it can no longer do without a sewer system. The lack of a proper sewerage system is truly serious problem viewed from the standpoint Of health alone. It is to be hoped that nothing will be permitted to sidetrack an election on this important matter and the voting of sufficient bonds to make possible it's construction. not in the far distant future. but during the present summer.

FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTING
Pupils Will Wallow In the Grass of Drew's Park Next Saturday Sugges- tion For Popular Recep- tion of Them

J. M. Miller. superintendent of tine Phoenix Presbyterian Sunday school. and r.. \. Spaulding. also of Phoenix. were Mesa visitors yesterday for the purpose of finding suitable location for the holding of picnic next Satur- day After d look over Drcw's park. they expressed themselves as being satisfied that Mesa had nothing more beautiful to offer in the park line which could be more satisfactory for a Sunday school picnic
 The children of the Presbyterian Sunday school with their teachers and officers. numbering about 200. Will leave Phoenix Saturday morning on the Winkleman express. Arrange montS have been made to hold the train at that place so that it will not arrive here until about o'clock. in- stead of S:15. it's regular schedule
 The gentlemen. of course, did not ask for any favors only that they be permitted to allow the children. to wallow in the grass and rest under the shade of the trees at Drew's park for d day. but a suggestion was made that in order to make the day more complete for the youngsters that the automobile owners of Mesa meet the excursion at the depot and transport them to the park. Just how much of this suggestion will be carried out will depend upon whether there is q con- centrated effort to that end or not. There will. of course, be a few autos at the train. but 200 children, no mat ter how small. will require consider able room. and a plan to get them from the depot to the park would re- quire the services of an experienced transportation committee.
 The picnickers will bring their lunches with them. They have planned to have a ball game in the afternoon between two teams made up of the different classes in the school.
 MT Miller. before becoming identi- fled with the Miller Sterling business concern in Phoenix, was in the em- ploy of the government as a photog- rapher. His duties called him all over the territory. and he has had occa sion to look for the beautiful spots
 wherever he has been, but he gave | it out unqualifiedly that Drew's park right at the present time is one of the prettiest places he has seen in | his travels in the way of play
