.RUMOR |S
 UNFOUNDED Canal Building Is At End
 For the Present WIDENING Of CONSOLIDATED Will Be Largest Canal on South Side-Will Be 22 Feet Wide at Bottom - Correction Made Not to Disappoint Settlers.
WIDENING Of CONSOLIDATED

For the past year q rumor has been current to the effect that the recla- ,mation service contemplated extending the Eastern canal, or rather building a new canal supplementing the Eastern distance of something like a mile tO the east of the present waterway. Recently contractors appeared at this place who assisted in building the Eastern last summer which in a man ner revived the rumor and gave it some Credence.
 w. Parscal, who is in charge of a large force of men engaged in widen ing the Consolidated canal, and who is practically in charge of the develop ment work for the reclamation serv- ice, was interrogated on the subject yesterday and gave out the information that there were practically no grounds for the rumCr. MT. Parscal is in . position to know in the event that the building Of a new canal was contem- plated. It is a fact that homesteads have been taken with the understand ing that the new canal would be dug to the east of the present Eastern and it is to correct this apprehension that the statement was secured.
 The work of widening the COnsoli- dated in all probability will be com pleted by the middle of October, after which the force of men will at once commence the digging of laterals from the Eastern to the Consolidated The Consolidated canal when completed will approximate in width twenty two feet at the bottom and will have a larg CT carrying capacity than any Othter south side waterway The work of installing cement turnouts and siphons after the plan already begun by the reclamation service has been main tained at intervals of every half mile from the head

The PaStime to
 Have a New Roof
And To Be Run All Winter As a
 Picture Show House.

Announcement was made at the Pastime night before last that the negotiations that were in progress between the PastimG management ann the Goodwin opera house man agement, looking toward a consolida tion of the two houses. had fallen through. MT. Lapham. the lessee of the Pastime and the manager, states that he has arranged to put roof on the Pastime as soon as the cooler weather demands it and will continue to run the Pastime all winter as moving picture house, increasing the quality and quantity of the show as patronage demands.
 MT. Donovan. who during the sum mer months has managed the play house. leaves this morning to take up show work elsewhere and with the experience he has gained while associated with Mir. Donovan, Mir Lapham feels confident that he can handle the business here and in Mesa alone this winter. What Mir Good wins plans may be in the way of shows, have not yet been announced.

matter his attention will gather at the Western Arms company Tuesday morning at s a. m. and go from there to the Jordan to pour quick lime on the diseased ducks which lie dead by the thousands along the swamps. MT. FL lerbeck says that the conditions are appalling
 = Two weeks ago." he said this morn ing. there were only about 200 live ducks on the New State grounds; but now ducks are coming by the thou sands from the north and rapidly dy- ing off upon drinking the filthy sewer water. It would take 100 men three weeks to bury the ducks on the New State grounds alone. Even the geese and larger birds of British Columbia are beginning to arrive and they too succumb upon drinking the filthy sew CT What right has the city to turn polluted water on 1000 acres of duck feeding grounds, If We commence suit against the city to the tune of $4O,OOO for damages to our grounds alone they will probably do something to abate the trouble. Many of the birds winter in South America and no one can tell now far the disease will be carried"
 A different phase of the disease prev alent among ducks is brought to light in the report from the home of Patrol man Charles olson of the police de- partment. Patrolman olson was called home this morning at o'clock, word reaching him that his son was alarm ingly ill. It developed that one of the pOliceman's children had brought two ducks home from the west side sloughs where the ducks are reported dying from a strange malady. The ducks were thrown out by Mrs. olson. A number of the olson chickens began scratching around about the fowls and soon they manifested signs of illness of some sort and within a short time fourteen of them died The family dog then turned his attention to the ducks and a short time afterward it was found necessary to shoot him, he having be- come sick also. Then the pet donkey at the olson home ate some straw that had been around the vicinity of the feast of the chickens and dog, and the donkey manifested signs of illness. Pa trolman Olson's son gave the donkey some attention, trying to care for him Soon afterward the child became sick and is now under the care of d phy sician. Patrolman olson intends to have an examination made of the re- maining portions of the ducks to see the cause of the strange occurrences may be traced.

The Passing of the
 Village Telephone
Call by Number Is an Innovation
 Demanded.

All this ushering in of metropolitan
 ideas on what was once a country town although heralded with certain amount of enthusiasm, nevertheless, has apparent uncercmonious charac- teristics, which cannot help but be con
 strued as unkind. In no manner does this metropolitan system go against the grain more than in the revolutionizing .Or the neighbOrly telephone The de cree has gone out that subscribers
 must call by number Directories have been provided and each patron of the service is compelled to run down the list of names to find one that fits the purpose and then read Central, give me x 31 Oj' or Main 601T''. It may take five minutes to find the di- rectory and then another minute to find the number, but that makes no differ ence-the law is that you must know what you want and then ask for it. It's system and without system Mesa will never become a town.
 The time was in Mesa, and not very far back in the past, when central was the most accommodating person in the world She would call up Mrs. Bill Smith and tell her that a COW belonging to MT Henderson had brok- en out of the corral and was approach ing the turnip patch belonging to Mrs. Smith In the event that the Smiths did not have a phone in their house. central would call up Mrs. Wilson and ask that she run over to Mrs. Jones and have her tell her little son Willie to either run the COW out of the turnip patch or else tell Mrs. Smith of the destruction of her property. Handy ? There was probably never invented q more useful instrument in the pro longatiOn of life or the making of life more worth living than the neighbOr- hood teleph0ne-that is before the metropolitan system was invoked. Now half the turnlp patches in town may be devoured, or the measles may have broken out in the west end, or Jimmie Sykes and Mollie Gilson may have been out buggy riding nearly all night and who's going to know all about these things? With this strict adop- tion of system in the telephone offices it is going to mean that life will be awfully dull for a while. for this hunt ing around for a number takes away half the pleasure of a morning chat when it's so much easier to call Mrs. Smith to the phone direct and tell her a little something that she must not under any consideration tell to liv- ing soul.

Reports Concerning
 Disease of Ducks LOCAL HUNTERS ARE AGAIN
 CAUTIONED.
Disease Has Not Been Discovered in
 This Vicinity.

During the past few days several re ports have reached this ElaCe conccrn= ing the condition of the wild game in
 Utah. The local sportsmen have re- ported no such condition existing in this vicinity. although the ducks have begun to arrive in plentiful quantities. It is believed, however, that the ducks fly between this place and Utah in twenty four hours and that it is sug gested that all hunters use precaution in the disposition of the game. As will be shown in one of the following re- ports that the diseased ducks have proven fatal when eaten by other fowls. from which the conclusion is drawn that they in all probability might be fatal if used for food. The reports are reproduced from the fact that the duck season is beginning and also from the fact of the near proXimi- ty of the contagion. The report is as follows:
 As rapidly as practicable. state of- ficals are making official inspections of the duck situation. and within a few days some official dictum can be eX- pected. At 4 o'clock this afternoon, Fred w. Chambers. state fish and game commissioner, Willard Hanson, state food and dairy commissioner, and Her man Harms, state chemist, will take the train for Brigham City, from which point they will visit the grounds of the Bear River Duck club and other clubs in that neighborhOod with the object of finding out what is the trouble with the diseased ducks, and the extent of the trouble there.
 Mir Hansen says that Dr. Baker of ogden made an examination of two dead ducks before himself, Dr. J. s. Carver, John Browning and MT. Bige low. on Saturday and pr. Bakers deci- sion was to the effect that the ducks are dying with some sort of fever like typhoid and that they certainly are unfit to eat.
 While in Uintah county the past week MT Chambers received the re- port of s. P. Dillman, game warden, which was to the effect that the ducks in that neighborhood are in excellent condition, no diseased ones having been found at all so far.
 Realizing, however. that the incom- ing ducks are rapidly dying as a re- suit of the conditions at the mouth of the Jordan river, James O. Ellerbeck, chairman of the grounds committee of the New State Gun club, and every | sportsman in the city who will give the

Lars Lassen of the Heard ranch, was in town again yesterday. MT Lassen has recently left the Sisters hospital in Phoenix after a siege ex- tending over period of twelve weeks. He first went there for all operation for appendicitis. Complica- tions set in and a second operation became necessary. There was time when there was mighty little hope of his recovery entertained. He is on his feet again. now, however. and aside from being still a little weak from his long illness, is fast regain ing his former good health.

of these two matters and expressed the hope that the company as a whole would abide by the decision of the majority There were several rather sharp tilts between different speakers on the matter of the dis tribution of water and the matter was not Infinitely settled.
 On the question of drainage, it seemed to be the sentiment of the shareholders present that the canal company undertake the matter, rather than turn it over to the government and a motion was made and carried that a committee of five shareholders be appointed to investigate the mat ter of drainage and the committee be allowed to spend not to exceed $500 in it's investigations and that it re- port within thirty days. Chairman Jones announced that he would make public the appointment of the com mittee within short time-he di- sired little time to consider the matter
 With reference to the election of directors. a motion was made that the secretary be instructed to cast the unanimous vote of the company for C. G. Jones and Niels Peterson, the two members of the present board who are eligible for reelection, and C. NJ. Mullen as the new member of the board.

With mo other information at hand, any one in Tempe Friday evening would have realized that the normal had opened. There were all sorts Of school yells and it was quite evil dent some normal class was having a celebration. It turned out to be the juniors and the following account of the affair has been contributed:
 The junior class of 1912 opened the social season Friday night with . good old fashioned English "Tallyho,"
 The whole expedition was more or less of a secret and the destination chosen en route, was the Falls Of the old Arizona Canal
 The party assembled at Mrs. Will liam Mullen's in East Tempe. and after some enthusiastic cheering by the many friends of the class, the two ''tallies" from Ffnch's stable were put in motion.
 The party enjoyed a most pictur- esque view of the waning moonrise and panorama of lighting desert stream and torrent. and were served with unique luncheon on one of the canal bridges

TEMPE CANAL
 CO. MEETING 4 Further Discussion of
 the Drainage Question THE ELECTION Of OFFICERS
A Committee Appointed to Investigate the Drainage Question With a View to Lifting the Water to the Higher Lands.

The annual meeting of the Tempe Canal company was held yesterday for the purpose of electing directors and the transaction of such other business as might come up. The morning session was short and the business transacted consisted merely in the appointment of a committee on credentials.
 The meeting again convened at one o'clock in the zafternoon and the re port of the committee on credentials showed that there was represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. a little over eighty per cent of the shares of the company A little time was given over to the report of this committee. the report of the superintendent and secretary and the auditing committee appointed to audit the books of the secretary. The re port of the secretary showed that in cluding attorneys fees for the law suit, that the cost of water for the past year under the Tempe canal had been a trifle less than 50 cents per acre
 At this point Dwight E. Heard took the floor and suggested that some definite action be taken with regard to the signing up of the Tempe lands under the reservoir and the drainage of those lands that required it. He felt that the time had come when some action should be taken that would settle the matter once for all He also desired that the matter of distributing the water by priority or by pro rata as it is now being done. be settled in a permanent manner. He wished to soc some disnnsitinn made

The InterSchOlaStic
 Athletic Association
New Officers Elected and New Rules
 Laid Down For This Year.

There was an important meeting of the Arizona Inter Scholastic Ath Ietic association yesterday morning at the high school. There were repre- sentatives from the different schools of the valley as follows: Superin- tendent Stabler from the Phoenix high school. l.. J. Holzworth from the Indian school, F. C. Johnson from the Mesa high school. C. C. Cash from the Tempe high school and F. C. Aver of the normal.
 New officers were elected as fol- lows: F. C. Aver, president; l.. J. Holzworth, vice president; C. C. Cash, secretary and treasurer.
 The seasons given to different branches of athletics were arranged as follows: Basketball and tennis, October 1st to December 1st: base ball, from December 1st to March 1St; track athletics. March 1st to May 1st It will be noted that no mention of football is made. This matter was taken up but it was de- cided to eliminate this game entirely but one school favoring it, the Phoe- nix high.
 The rules of eligibility were then discussed and the following provi- sions were made: only bona fide students shall be permitted to play on the baseball. basket and track teams. The tennis association shall be open to all connected with the school. This bars all coaches and members of the faculty from all sports but tennis which has hereto fore always been a general game. open tn all connected with the school whether faculty members or stu dents.
 A committee was appointed to ar range a basketball schedule. The members of the committee are L. ! HOlzworth, F. M. Irish, F. C. Johnson. Schedules on the other events will be taken up and arranged at later date. It is probable that the first game of basketball will be played the latter part of october. There will possibly be matched tennis games be fore that date and it is expected that this game will play a prominent part in the fall athletics of the different schools.
 "Bona fide" students were defined as follows: Regular in attendance. of standard department in scholar ship, receiving no remuneration for their athletic ability and having reg istered thirty days in basketball and sixty days in baseball or track. pre- vious to their first game"
 There will be boys basketball teams | Nl,s The secretary was instructed to make it politically known that the associa- tion would be very glad to receive offers of cups. from firms or individ- uals for any or all of the various athletic events or series of events during the season.

CATARRH
 4 SPECIFIC BLOOD IMpURITY

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis case, one which no amount of local treatment will ever permanently cure. The beneficial effects of washes, sprays, inhalations, etc., are only temporary, and when left off the old condition returns, because the blood is infected with catarrhal matter and impurities. This impure condition of the circulation irritates and in, flames the delicate mucous mem branes and tissues and produces the well known symptoms of ringing noises in the head and ears, mucous il the throat, headaches, watery eyes
 partial deafness, sore throat, genera, impairment of health, etc. This con. dition will remain, growing worse as long as the catarrhal matter is al lowed to remain in the blood. Being aspecifc a blood impurity, there is only one way to cure Catarrh, and that is to purify the blood. Nothing equals s. s. S. for this purpose. It attacks the disease at its head-in the circu. lation-and by thoroughly renovatina
