MESA
A MESA ROUNDUP
 OF YOUNG BANDITS

Marshal Peterson has started on a crusade to round up the boys who have been committing acts of unlawful mischief in town and the surrounding country. During the past few weeks complaints have been numerous that buggies left on the streets at night during the time the owners were at shows, church and other functions, have been robbed of whips, lap robes and anything else that happened to be left in them. In several cases parts of harness have been cut, thus endanger- ing the safety of parties who might ride in the vehicles. It has been hard task to locate the youngsters They had a special knack of making a safe get away before the crimes would be discovered. Friday and Saturday however. four of the boys were cap tured, with abundant evidence of their guilt. Three of them are American and one a Mexican boy. The boys con- fesscd to the acts they were charged with and told of numerous other mis- denfeanors in which they and other boys had participated. The four boys range in age from 10 to Is years and their cases will be disposed of at 10 o'clock this morning. It is more than probable that they will be sent down to Phoenix to be dealt with by the juvenile court. One of the boys took a bicycle and was trying to sell it for g.. when the officer located him. The others broke into Alex. Minn's house opened trunks and took several articles of personal property. They admitted that they were looking for gun they knew Mir McMinn kept in his house, but failed to find it. The officers are determined 10 break up the gang that has been causing so much annoyance to the public.

A SMILING YOUTH
 BLOCKS THE STREETS
Self Appointed Regulator of Rubber
 tired Vehicle Traffic.

The police ran across a yong man who had just arrived in the city and was already taking charge of munich pal affairs. A telephone message was received at the station from the Santa Fe depot that a drunken Indian was making trouble in that vicinity. off cer Bradley went after him but before he reached the depot he met the Indian in the custody of d laughing young man who accompanied the off cer and prisoner to the station.
 Not long after the stranger left the station a telephone message be gan to come describing a congestion of traffic on West Washington street. An officer who went to investigate the complaint saw from a distance mixed collection of bicycles, motor cycles, automobiles and mob of boys of all ages.
 The storm center was the smiling stranger It turned out that he had been stopping passengers on machines of all kinds His first victims were a couple of women on bicycles. They were held up, because like the foolish virgin. their lamps were not trimmed and burning. SuppOsing the stranger to be man in authority, they dis mounted. Next came autos, all of which were stopped because in broad day light and in the more than or dinarily fierce glare of the sun, their lamps were not lighted.
 The officer took the cause of the congestion into custody but the stranger laughed and said: That's what they do to me every place; I've been arrested fifty times
 But he said that the proper regu-

lation of rubber tired vehicles of all kinds was the life work he had chosen and he would persist in it. He said that if he had not been interferred with he would have presented a bill tO the city, but more often than not, he got no pay for his services, he said
 He had come directly from Pasadena under circumstances that indicate that he was shipped here tO be cared for by the territory. He said he had been working in Pasadena and that there was some dispute about his pay. The authorities compromised it by buying him ticket to Phoenix.
 His ease will probably be brought before the probate court today or maybe, before the bOard of supcrvis- Ors.

Interest today in Tempe is going to hinge pretty much around the decision that Judge Kent is expected tc hand down in the Gibson case, for on the decision in that case hangs the fate not only of the Casa LomI bar, Eut the other liquor establishr of Tempe. On this decision also hangs the fate of the several dozen warrants that have been served on Fred Marsh and his bartendcrs in the Casa Loma bar. Ii Judge Kent decides that tine recent local option election here was legal, then the warrants hold good and those a~rosted arc liable to a fine of as much as $500 on each warrant.

Smout Had Resolution In His Pocket

The Bardon resolution, introduced six
weegs ago at the request of the Fedora
tion of Ward clubs, emerged from its
obscurity last Tuesday evening and was
passed by the council. As a conse-
quence the city attorney is already busy
getting the necessary information to
prepare himself to take part in the hear
ing as well as otherwise guard the eity's
interests in the water and light ques-
tions,
In answer to a question from the
mayor as to the whereabouts of this
long lost resolution, Mr., Smout con-
fessed that it had got lost in his pockets.
Do they contain anything more that
would be of interest to the people?
Councilman Smout is credited with the
statement that he found his duties as
city councilman so heavy that he had
to dispose of his grocery store in order
to attend to them properly. 1t looks as
if he would have to divest himself of
further encumbrances in order that
none of the peoples affairs may be
sighted,

GRADUAL SINGLE TAX
PUT UP TO VOTERS

Shall the single tax be applied in Ev-
erett? 1t remains for the voters to de-
eide at the coming election, the council,
by resolution at Tuesdays meeting,
putting the proposition before the vot-
ers for their acceptance or rejection. The
removal of the property tax is made
gradual, 25 per cent being deducted
every year until its final disappearance
in four years.
Some amusement was caused when
the mayor asked "Who presented this
resolution" The city attorney pointed
to Mr.. Smout, who denied it's parent
age. In later conversation on the sub
ject Mr. Smout acknowledged that such
resolution had been authorized at the
request of President Tillman of the Fed
Grafton of Ward clubs, although the
councilman had not paid particular at
tention to its contents.

Mr.. Geo. w. Louttit, Everett Wash.
Dear Sir-I have your letter of April
II, stating that Canyon creek is being
considered as a source of water supply
for Everett We have no records of
flow on this stream, but we have a
seven months record on Clear creek,
which is tributary to the Sauk and a
part of whose drainage basin adjoins
that of the south fork of Canyon creek,
copies of which l am sending you.
Il think it is very likely that the
drainage basin of Canyon creek re-
sembles in large measure that of Clear
creek and we might therefore expect
the run off of the two streams to be
about proportional to their drainage
areas.
Clear creek has a drainage area of
80 square miles, Canyon creek has GA
at the mouth and probably about 50 at
the crossing ON the 500foot contour,
which is very likely where any pipe line
would have its intake. l think we can
safely estimate the flow of Canyon
creek as about twice that of Clear creek.
On this basis Canyon creek would no
doubt furnish the city with sufficient
water for many years to come.
"Allow me to suggest the advisable
ity of getting gaging station on Can
yon creek as soon as possible. If you
people would be willing to pay for the
gage readings, which would not exceed
S. a month, we would make sufficient
measurements to obtain good record
on this stream.
''Very truly yours,
FIRED f. HENSHAW,
District Engineer"

Labor Day Is Fittingly Celebrated

1t is hard to find adjectives express
sive enough with which to embellish an
account of the Labor Day celebration
in Everett. Anyhow, to quote from the
esteemed spacefiller on the staff of The
Outlook, it was "just bully!" So with
out any trills or cadenzas to this opening
paragraph we'll proceed to a more or
less lucid story of the days proceedings.
As it was intended to be the morning
parade was the one best bet of the day.
Everett has seen many street pageants
but never before anything like the pro-
cession that swung into Hewitt avenue
on the stroke of eleven and traversed
the length of the avenue. 1t was an
ocular demonstration of the strength of
organized labor in this city that will
not be soon forgotten. Leading were

containing the speaker of the day, Chas,

Workers, the first union in line, and the
following unions made up the first di-

Journeymen Blacksmiths, Railway Train
men, Bridge Workers, Longshoremen,
Brewery Workers. Herb Strand of the
Transfers was the mounted aide for this
division The Electrical Workers, Rail
way Trainmen and Brewery Workers
were represented by floats.
The second division was made up of
unions affiliated with the building trades
council. They were led off by War
nocks band of Seattle, which by the way
was furnished by the Carpenters union.
The Carpenters, Plumbers and Lathers

DOUBLING THOMASES,
READ THIS

Ever since the Ward and Federated
clubs began to advocate municipal water
works, they have found Mayor Hartley
an enemy to their plans. At meeting
school building, when municipality owned
water works and possible sources of
supply were under discussion, Mayor
Hartley was present and spoke. 1he
statement was made at that meeting
that the government would furnish
readings of the flow of water on Canyon
creek for very nominal sum-three or
five dollars month, according to a let
ter received from the forestry depart
ment. Mr.. Louttit, who had received
the letter, left during the netting and
before the mayor spoke. Mayor Hart
ley pooh -poohed the idea of the letter
and that readings could be had for any
such sum, claiming that to get them
would mean an expenditure in the
neighborhood of $500.
The letter could not be produced at
the meeting and for some time it was
thought to have been lost. We publish
it herewith for the benefit of Mayor
Hartley and enemies and friends gen.
orally of the effort to secure city
owned water system with purer water
source than that from which Everett's
present supply comes.
The letter is written on stationery OF
the United States geological survey, is
dated Portland, April IA, 1911, and
signed by Fred F. Henshaw, district en-
gineer. II reads:
