 IF P|NEA|R Survey of Resort To Begin Next Monday WORK ON MOUNTAIN ROAD .i Men and Teams Needed for
 Work-How the Lots At Pineair Are to Be Dis
 tributed
WORK ON MOUNTAIN ROAD

The officers and directors of the Pineair Summer Resort company met yesterday afternoon in the Mesa opera house with President ". S. Dorman. Secretary and Treasurer James Miller, Jr, and Directors D. P. Jones and Roy :. Goodrich and Attorney NJ J. Dough- crtN present
 The primary object of the meeting was to formulate plans for the immedi ate beginning of construction on the roadway which will lead from point near Shells station on the Roosevelt road to the proposed resort. That this object was accomplished is expressed in the fact that Joseph A. Stewart. as a representative of the company, will leave Mesa Monday and will in com psny with surveyor appointed by Forest Reserve Officer Roscoe G. Will son go over the grounds Tuesday and Wednesday and include the entire tract of 2SO acres within the limits of meets and bounds The object of this is to establish a definite tract of land so that Mir. Wilson can immediately issue a permit for the tract. This being prac- tically the same procedure as that taken by the incOrporators Of the Iron Springs resort north of Phoenix on the Santa Fc.
 While the tract is being surveyed the directors will be active at this end of the line in the selection Of B super intendcnt to take charge of the work and the collecting together of men and teams. Iight at this point it might be well to say that a number of men and teams will be needed and all those de string work either for themselves or their teams should hand their names to James Miller at the Arizona Land company's offices at once. IL is not known yet just how many will he need ed. but it is given out authoritatively that every man will be used that can be handled The base of supplies will be in the vicinity of Shells station on the Roosevelt road, for a while at least. After the road has been com pleted for distance the camp will then be moved nearer the work. It is the intention of the directors to pay wages commensurate with the work, and they have taken into c0nsidera- ton the fact that it will require con siderable effort to get the line com pleted by summer.
 Another important feature settled by the directors yesterday was the. manner in which the lots would be distributed In view of the fact that the purchase Of lot in the new resort is sort Of sight unseen proposition, to most Of the shareholders at least. it has been determined to allow each shareholder one lot and the selection of the lot will be made by raffle after the manner adopted by the government in many in stances in disposing of it's lands.

EVERYTHING READY
 FOR FINAL STRUGGLE
With the Normal Baseball Team
 f.H-s Today.

Professor Johnson. who is in charge of the Mesa high school baseball team. is responsible for the statement that his team will win the game from the normal at Fla stlake park this afternoon. There are number of reasons on which this opinion is based. but the most important one is on account of the condition of the local team. Every player has been given to understand that he is going against the same team that won two weeks ago. Such defeats as the one administered by the normal two weeks ago produces what might be called ginger. The first game the Mesa team played during the present series was lost to q team that afterwards went down in the percentage column, but that first game did more for the Mesa team than most anything else could have done. X nall team, like any ether rganization. after continual suc- cess loses sight of the possibility Of being defeated. X defeat has tend ency to strengthen. Mesa has had both

OLD FOLKS DAY x
 ON APRIL 20
The Minimum Age Limit Has Been
 Raised to 50 Years.

The plans for the celebration of old Folks day have been completed by the committee in charge of the work. As announced in yesterdays issue of The Republican. the date has been set for April 2o. There will not be q great deal of difference in the regular plans of entertainment than that observed on former days. only that the age limit has been advanced little. It was giN- en out yesterday that all over 50 would be entitled to place on the roll or honor on that day. but this has been raised bv the committee to S0 years Of age There are a good many reasons why the age limit has been raised. one of them being that on account of the hcalthful conditions of the valley the number of old folks. OF probably It would be much better to say those over 90. are getting to be too many in num- bcrs to be accommodated in one day and at single table, no matter how long and how wide. The above has been given as a reason for raising thS age limit by one of the members of inc committee. although it was suSSestei later that certain members of the com . mittee were approachin very danger ously near the :old folks" limit and desired to raise the limit so that they could go several years without getting into the old folks class.
 There will be no written invitations sent out this year. but the announce ment is made publicly that every per son over the age of e6 years. without

The handling of the voting contest will probably be in the hands of the finance committee. consisting ofs Elijah Allen. w Aird Hacdpnald and John Riggs.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
 OF THE MESA CANAL

At o'clock this afternoon Louis C. Hill. representing the government. will meet with the stockholders of the Mesa Canal company at the Mcs1 opera house and there make them an offer of S33.O00 for the 800 shares of capital stock in the Mesa Canal company. the stock representing the entire system, including the main canal. tine riSit-of way through the Consolidated and the laterals.
 It is for the stockholders to say whether they will accept the terms sub mitted by MT. Hill for the government and thereby come into the government ownership plan originally intended when the Roosevelt project was first instituted, er refuse to sell and thereby neccssitatr further discussions and controversies. and in the event that they refuse to sell to he denied parti- cipation in the distribution of stored water that has been impOunded in the reservoir.
 There are exactly 100 shares of stock in the Mesa Canal company. These shares of course are some of them di- vided into several small parts. even IT Then again there are others who are the owners of number of full shares. IL is a meeting of the stockholders and a full representation is urgently desired
 In order to sell the canal il will mean that tWo-thirds of the entire 100 shares must be in favor Of the proposition. To say how the proposition will be accepted. or whether it will be accept cd at all or not. is a very hard thing to even attempt to do at this time. That there is very considerable amount of opposition is very evident. but from the fact that a stock election. where one man may have tho voting power of a dozen other men. hardly an idea of any accuracy can be had. The directors themselves are unable to make a guess as to how the propo- sition will be received.
 l. The fact remains. however. that it is very essential that every stockholder be present. if only for the sake of mak- ing a full representation. There is lit tie doubt but what the meeting will be an interesting one for the stockholders and one worth their while. For the past week many hearsays anu rlImors have been going the rounds as to what has happened and what Will happen if the canal is sold and if tine canal is not sold.- In order to get directly at the matter it is not only the privilege of every stockholder, but

A change of venue was this

charged with the murder of Will
Miller. AT the evening session of
court Tuesday, Judge Cole, for
the defendant, made the applica-
tiOn which was granted, and the
ease taken to Rice county. The
grounds therefore being that it
would likely be impossible to Sc
cure jury in this county.
We may be miSinfOrmed on the
subject, but we are inclined to
think that the people Of Barton
are as fairminded as of any

I'd could have received an abso-
lutely fair trial in this county.
We do not believe that the defen-
liant had anything to fear. He
has been in the Jail in this cOun-
ty fOr two months, and no one ha
mOleSted him. The transferring
OF the case means an additional
bill of expense for this county,

of which could have been avoid
ed. We understand that the trial
has been set for December 10th. F..
