Returns From Testing
 Pumping Proposition
Mccormick Investigated Water Possi- biIities in Big Valley Near
 Tucson.

Roy Mccormick. formerly employed by the reclamation service in cOnnec- ton with drilling the wells on the In dian reservation at Sacaton, has re- turned from Tucson and particularly from the Rillito valley. near Tucson, where he has been making tests for several weeks past to determine the possible value of pumping plants for purposes of irrigation.
 He went to Tucson in response to a request for his services from the territorial university. After making a series of exhaustive tests he decided that pumping plant propositions for that valley would be. not only practi- cable but eminently profitable as well.
 The Rillito valley. as he found it, is from five to fifteen miles wide and from thirty to forty miles long. The soil is not different as regards fecun- dity from other favored sections of Arizona, and is consequently well adapted to agriculture. There is talk now of sinking a number of big wells in the district, but the matter has not yet crystallized into definite form. A company will be organized. however. to take up the problem and push it through until satisfactory results are obtained.

Tempest and Sunshine
 Drew a Packed House
A Play On the Me.odramatic Order,
 With Little Tragedy.

Tempest and Sunshine" the attrac- house Thursday evening. was played to one of the best paying houses that has attended any performance here in long time. The house was prac- tically filled. and as the rates ran up from 25 cents to a dollar. both manager Of the opera house and of the company profited.
 The company proved to be a very good one. better perhaps than the average travelling company of that size. The play is of the melodramatic order. verging at times on the tragic, but all ended happily in the end, as is naturally expected of productions of that kind. The plot offers a slight variation from the ordinary lot, in that the chief villain is woman. Tempest" This part was we'll han dled by Miss Marie De Beau. There was plenty of comedy as well as pathos in thef play. most of it being supplied by Uncle Juber" and Aunt Judy" impersOnated by Elmer Gam-' ble and Lillian Black.
 One criticism that might be of fered was the late opening of the show. It was g o'clock before the curtain went up. There were. too, rather long waits between acts.
 On account of the epidemic at Mesa. the company was obliged to cancel it's engagement there for last evening. The members remained here until yesterday afternoon and then went to Phoenix. where they play at the Eiks' theater tonight

Without Ministers
 Or Justice of Peace
Couple Found Mesa Barren of Mar.
 riase Possibilities Yesterday.

Mesa was left without minister of the gospel yesterday. and also without a justice of the peace, a curious con dition, due mainly to the presence of the aviators in Phoenix. The unusual situation obtruded itself painfully up- on James Adams and Mrs. Elsie Bar mum, who desired to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony and could find no one to perform the service for them.
 The couple was ready for the mo- mentous step. the license and all other matters of detail having been pre- viously attended to. Justice Irwin had been selected to officiate. but un- fortunately that official had not been taken into their confidence, and he. desiring a change from the cares and worries of business. had gone over to Phoenix to see the flyers fly.
 1t also fell out that Rev. c. & Mad doX of the Baptist church had also succumbed to the aviation fever and that Rev. A. L. Hawley of the Meth odist church was many miles out in the country. Protracted and nasty search for each of these divines made the facts patent. Despairing therefore of attaining that devoutly wished for corsummation in Mesa, the couple fin ally decided that since the crowd seemed to be in Phoenix they might as well go too. They took the noon train and were presumably married in Phoenix The bride has been a resi- dent of Mesa for some time. but the groom is understood to be in business in Phoenix

SUMMER RESORT NAMED.

Miss Ivan Pomeroy is the success fnl contestant for the $5 prize to be given for a name for the proposed Mesa summer resort. and "Pineair" is the name which she submitted The selection was made at the conclusion of iong session Thursday afternoon of a committee composed of w. S. Dorman, J. T. Lesueur, w. O. Clem- ons. F. T. Pomeroy and D. P Jones It was also decided to sign the arti- cles of incorporation at once and get out subscription papers for stock in the enterprise. According to a late estimate furnished by w. A. Parish, who had charge of the road survey. the estimated cost of the thoroughfare can De cut in half by employing Apache Indian labor, and it can be further reduced by cutting the width of the road down to eight feet.

Stock will be issued with a par value of $50 per share, ten per cent of which is to be paid in by March l5, and the bal ance as it is needed.
