How important it is that our pco-

clothing and every article of honest
industry. All wealth is the result q
labor, and is divided into two classes,
productive and unproductive, Pro
duetive labor is that wealth which
adds 10 the value industry and wealth
of 4 government, while unproductive
labor consumes the resources of a ma
ton without giving anything of real
value to the people in return.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
past two weeks have been the long
est period of low temperature known
in Mesa for many years. the cheering
report comes from owners Of orange
trees that the damage was much less
than expected. The fact that the
cold weather came on gradually, there
being no sudden drop from very
high to a very low temperature,
proved the salvation of the young
trees. That the tops of the younger
trees are 'nipped" is not considered
alarming. and the loss will he very
slight. The cold weather demon
strated that 'smudging" was the cor
rect thing on cold nights. Where
the orchards were properly smudged.
the temperature was kept easily above
the danger point. Oil pan smudges
i'm several of the orchards provided a
dense smoke that hung for hours
after sunup over the trees. This
plan of protection was adopted by
Messrs. w X Bowen. j l.. Warning
and W. :. DoTman.

ami yet how many people in our city

SIeak for themselves. Are not such
people accessories after the fact, NOR

clemency of the weather. added pre-
cautions are necessary for the welfare
of the patient horse which in addition

TEMPE
COUNCIL MEETS IN
REGULAR SESSION
Routine Matters of Business Were
Disposed of.

The town council met in regular
session Thursday evening for the
transaction of the usual monthly
routine business. The early part of
the evening was devoted almost eX-
clusively to a long wrangle over the
situation at the towns pumping
plant. The town feels that a good
deal of the expense il has been to
of late To maintain the plant, should
be paid by Mr. Chandler under his
contract. Ii was finally decided that
Mr.. Chandler be asked to attend a
special meeting of the council soon
when the question will be taken up
for final consideration.
Just at present the town has Il
few thousand dollars in its sinking
fund and an application for loan of
"a thousand dollars of this money pre-
cipitated another discussion. 1t de-
veloped that after the first of jan
uary. the town may begin paying off
its water bonds. numbers one, two
and three. for Il thousand each, being
then payable at the option OF the
town. While the bonds are only
drawing five per cent and while the
money can be readily loaned at eight
it was finally agreed that the diff
ference in interest would hardly war
rant loaning the money. II was de-
cided that the better plan would be
To- take up the bonds. II is antici-
pated then. that shortly after the
first of the year, two or perhaps three
of the bonds will be taken up and
the Indebtedness against the water
system that much reduced.
The marshal directed the attention
Of the council too, to the fact that
several bridges in east Tempe are in
need of repairs and he was instruct
ed to proceed with the work and
place cement structures in place of
the old wooden ones.
The marshal also announced that
he has received a consignment of
automobile tags. The new tags are
the proper kind and are a distinct
improvement over the ones that were
first issued Those who were sup
piled with the first set of tags are
invited to cash them in at the mar
shars office in exchange for the new
ones

CLOSE CONTRACTS FOR
IRRIGATION PLANTS
Higley Development Company Has
Called a Meeting of Its Mem
bers for That Purpose.

While there has been little said of
late regarding the Higley Develop
ment company. it is evident that the
members of that organization have
not been idle. All those Interested
have been notified To- be present at a
meeting to be held on Monday at
the L. H. Sorey store. Higley The
purpose Of this meeting is to con-
slider the matter of closing up con-
tracts for pumping plants. The COM
pany has been negotiating for the
loan Of money sufficient To install
Plants for the pumping of water for
irrigation of farm lands held by the
residents there. The company has
secured the money in this way. While
the developing company will not in
stall the plants as a company. IT Will
continue i'm business for the purpose
of more cheaply purchasing fuel and
supplies. The factories have decided
that the pumping plants must be
placed on individual contracts. the
land of the purchaser being held as
security for fulfillment of contract
Thus each farmer will own and OPP
crate his own plant and take care
of his individual loan.
To make the proposition success
at least twenty plants must be or
dered and the meeting on Monday
is expected to furnish twenty or more
applicants prepared to sign up. After
signing. il will require at least three
months To- get all the plants deliv-
cred. as the factories are behind with
orders about that length of time.
The plan agreed upon for the Hig-
lev district is one that has worked
successfully i'm other arid sections in
California and New Mexico. and there
is no reason why it should not be
equally advantageous in this valley.
where the lands are located without
