 the night of the accident. Both men
 present an almost pitifut aspect Young McCarthy's hands are both helpless. though one is much more seriously injured than the other. His
 hair is singed and he is suffering from
 burns all over the upper portion of his
 body. The Chinaman. while not so deeply burned. probably has more burned surface on his body than the other man. Both his feet and legs
 were encased in bandages and both hands were wrapped. Their burns
 having been dressed they returned to
 Maricopa last evening but will prob ably be obliged to make frequent trips back and forth for treatment before
 they recover fully from their in

 UTAH CANAL But Owners Are Not Sure IheQ
 Want To Sell COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
To See Supervising Engi- neer Hill and Ascertain What Kind of An Agree ment the Government is Willing to Make.

At called meeting of the stock
 holders of the Utah canal ycstcr- day afternoon in the Mesa opera house there was evidenced d rather strong feeling tu the effect that the canal should not be turned over to I the government This expression was oCcasioned by different reasons prin- cipal of which appeared to be that the land owners object to the pay mcnt of S1. 50 per acre which has heretofore, for the sake of brcVity | been called maintainance fund. ] This it has been explained several times not only included the ncces- Sary maintainancc expense account 1 but at the same time creates q fund which is held on hands for the repair of any headgates and the making of new permanent improvements to the different laterals under the system. At the outset w. W. Dobson. chair man of the meeting explained the Ob- ject for which the stockholders had been called together The primary reason for the meeting being to know
 whether the stockholders desired to
 have MT Hill. the supervising engin- cer of the project appear before them and put up his proposition to them. saying that it was his understand
 ing that the government would enter
 into a proposition to pay the owners of Utah stock the sum of s30.000 for
 the capital stock in the canal. The it must be understood is for the physical property belonging to the
 Utah canal company or in other
 words the main ditch and laterals Dr. Chandler made the motion rather early in the meeting that the stockholders vote on whether in the event that MT Hill should submit
 an agreement satisfactory would the canal then be for sale. The motion was not voted upon. opinions were fully expressed and many questions asked which involved considerable
 explanation on the part "f members
 of the board of governors and mem bers of the council of the Water
 Users Association who happened to
 be present.
 The matter of taking an appeal from the decision of Judge Kent was brought up but in the end was not decided. That as well as the sale of the canal being deferred to another meeting.
 It was later decided in regard to
 the sale of the Utah canal that 3 committee should be appointed to confer with Mr.Iiill regarding an agreement looking to the taking over
 of the canal by the government. The meeting was then adjourned, subject to the call of the directors.
 But before adjournment another
 committee was appointed to consider
 the adviSability of incorporating.

THE CITY COUNCIL
 IN REGULAR SESSION
Pumping Contract Given to Mesa
 Light and Power Co.

At regular session of the council Tuesday evening the contract to fur nish power for the pumping of city water for a term of ten years was
 given to the Mesa Light and Power
 company and the mayor and city clerk were instructed to sign same.
 The action on the part of the coun- cil was unanimous. The motion was made by Palmer and a second by Stapley resulting in no dissenting votes.
 It was the sense of the council that liberal amount of time had been granted to the property owners of the town to settle for their 1909 taxes and a motion was made and
 carried to the effect that all unpaid taxes. the owners of the property and the amount of the tax be spread on the minutes of the council and that the list be published for six issues in the Evening Free Press.
 This is regular proceeding which is
 taken each year by the council only that this season has been liberal one on tho part of the members in point of time. the list of delinquents usually being published earlier in the year.
 D. A. LeBaron rendered his resig- nation as member of the special police force and the resignation was accepted.
 The water works board was given permission to the old pump house as a place to store tools and sup plies.
 It was decided to refund eight dol
 lars to l. A. C;oot for stock that had

BUICK vS. BURRO

L. B Johnson happened tu slight accident yesterday morning that not only tried the strength of his new car, but also tried the amount of re- sistence to which burru is capable MT Johnson was on the Roosevelt road and started to pass around a freight wagon A small boy was astride a burro immediately in front of the team but as the auto came along side the wagon the burro and boy made desperate effort to get out of the road only getting more directly in the path of the auto. MT. Johnson applied all the eIner- Eency brakes handy and the burro true to his characteristics bumped his back and stood waiting An in stant after the collision the boy fell of unhurt but q little scared but the burro stood his ground. The car was backed up and took another road. this being accomplished much quicker than the boy could persuade the animal to move out of it's tracks. The car was damaged slightly by having one of the lamp supports bent but the burro came out of the mix up as good as new.

NEW BALL SERIES
 IS NOW ASSURED
Though Tempe IS Lacking in En-
 thusissm.

From the present indications tho series of nine games of baseball to be played by three valley teams pick ed from the towns of Mesa Phoe- nix and Tempe is practically as sured The outline of the details has been presented to the readers of The Republican in former issue.
 The only obstacle in the way of a series at the present time appears to be Tempe w. x. Stevenson, who is in charge of the proposition at this end of the line had a confer ence with several of the base ball enthusiasts at Tempe and it is be- lieved that the town cannot well afford to stay out of the game.
 Manager Rudolph of the Phoenix aggregation phoncd over yesterday and was of the opinion that he could russle up fifty dollars to be spent in the purchase of a one hundred and fifty dollar cup. in fact he was sure of it. He further expressed an opinion that Phoenix would be in the game from the start and inciden- tally at the finish which appears to be one of the important items in a series of games.
 Owing to the number of details to be worked out it is not believed that the series can be begun this week but there is d possibility that game of some kind may be arranged for Saturday of this week although in all probability it will not bc one of the series games.
 Since the proposition of whether the valley is to have a series of games seems to rest entirely with Tempe it is believed that that place can hardly afford to stand in the way of successful fulfillment Of tho plans. There is good deal of baseball weather before the summer season begins and the appetite "f the fans has been whettcd [" such an extent that the enthusiasm ought to start from the rise of the curtain.

 Material.

The work of graVcIins the streets west of Mill avenue that were recent ly graded is now in active progress. Nine teams were working yesterday and more will probably be put on to- day The contract for the grading and graVeling of these different streets was taken by Sozo and Buan- avedas and while no time was spcci fled in the contract for the completion of the work. it was understood that it should bc hurried as much as possible.
 on account of the stage of the river for several days past. the work was delayed as il was impossible to haul gravel The grading was completed some time ago and as soon as the river reached q stage that would per init of fordinG, the hauling of gravel was commenced With the present force of men the work will probably take a week or ten days but it is hoped that larger force can be put on and the hauling completed before there is another rise in the river.
 The gravel that is being used is known aS caliche and i5 said tu he superior to the decumposcd granite that has been placed on the other streets. Two yards of the material is used in covering space A by l6 feet and it is being spread on to 2 depth of about three inches. This coating is being put on the crown of the road and as soon as it is well soaked up. packs hard and makes a sound and substantial highway. once it is fixed in this matter it requires very little sprnkling to keep the dust down and road repaired in this manner will last a loug time.
