FOND FANS
 FAVOR J0E
Angelenos Would Like to See Rivers Put Ad on the Canvas; Champs Stamina Questioned But H e's There With the Nerve

The fight fans of this mans town are no less interested in the light weight battle at Los Angeles than in the mOttled mill in Vegas. Pretty nearly everybody has the big boys fuss all dOped out. with the Galveston pet an easily picked winner. There is a bigger element of uncertainty, however. in the Wolgast- Rivers fight Every reason for superiority on one hand is met with just as strong an
 argument in favor of the other fellow. The trend of street corner discus champion. For" say the disputants
 If Ad wasn't pretty certain of pull ing out with the big end, he wouldn't go into the ring. He is the champ and can pick his man for at least year or two yet. So, why run | chances of being put out of the top l division for d measly side bet?" It certainly does look as though 2 man with all to lose would be rather chary of meeting an opponent of knuOWn strength such as the little Mex possesses But there has been more than one case of a champion becoming too chesty to take anything | in the shape of a dare. It IS also we'll known that most of such inflated champs have come q Woeful cropper when the test was made.
 There is not a doubt that Rivers has gotten into the fittest condition for long wearing grind. He IS | backed up with a marvellous conf dence in himself CD justified, indeed, | by a succession of good fights. His speed and judgment are matters ot l pride to every coast fan. There's no Angeleno who wouldn't bet his pile l on the fact that Joe is going into the 1 ring with the best chance ne ever had to get a strangle hold on the | belt Experience, courage and a | physical fitness beyond any reason | able doubt will place the dusl1y lad | at even odds at least to whale out bender at the right time to put Ad ] on the bum for keeps.
 Fans are always willing to see a | new champ arise. They are also par ] ucularly anxious on this occasion to see a local boy step into the envied 1 position But there is always that | element whose coin persists in back | ing up. anybody with a title. And eX- ] perience proves them right in many 1 cases. Ad WOlgast came back after l a disastrous go with two sworn en-
 emies to the glove artist, broken
 bone and a strained back. The ques-
 tion that is adding pleasurable eX- | Citement to the coming contest IS
 Has he knocked out the enemy
 either. which sap vitality and leaves
 a year long impress on the stamina of the unfortunate who has suffered
 under it?
 Much dope says he has. Experts
 claim he is gritting his teeth with l determination to prevent the old trou-
 hle getting the best of his fighting
 force They say he will go into the | ring with that all conquering spirit that overrides all difficulties. His l punch is still in his good right arm
 and it will be on tap every minute oi
 the mill until he gets in the sleel
 producer or has Morpheus jol
 handed him on the end of JOdy's
 mitten.

TEMPE
THE TOWNS OFFICIALS
 IN THEIR NEW HOME
New City Hall Is Completed and
 Proves Highly Satisfactory.

Tempe city officials are now nicely situated in their new offices in the city hall which has recently been completed by Architect L. K Knipe of Phoenix. The building is con- structed somewhat similar to the Tempe National bank especially the outer finishing Both of them are made of concrete the former of solid forms and the latter of brick But each is finished in a light cream color and are without doubt two of the prettiest buildings on the south side. The hall cost about five thou sand dollars, three of which was put up by the county. and the remaining two by the town of Tempe.
 Messrs. MOeur, Orme and Luke, members of the county board of su- pervisors were in Tempe Monday afternoon for the purpose of making all inspection of the new hall before ii was turned over to the permanent use of the town They, in connection with a committee from the local council visited the building and made a thorough tour of it. Everything. with the exception of a few minor
 
 approval of the officials. A few more additions were ordered by the super VisOrs, such as a lighting system electric fans and several doers which are still lacking.
 The marshal moved the town of fees into the new location Tuesday afternoon Both the council cham Der and marshars office together with the town jail are now occupy ing positions in that place.
 The hose cart and chemical engine which have for some years past oc- cupied buildings apart from other structures were moved yesterday aft ernoOn into large apartment es- pecially made for them on the lower floor It would be well to bear in mind. this being the fourth of July. that they have been moved too so that no delay will be caused should a fire occur. Of course everybody knows that the shooting of fire crackers within prescribed limits is forbidden, but a fire may start from other sources as well.
 The reading room which has oc- Cupied a room in the Kingsbury building for year or two will be moved tomorrow or next day. The room will be accessible in the new building through the lower stairway. ii being the front room on the base ment floor. The room at this time of year is unusually cool, much more sc than where it is now located.
 Although there is to be no formal opening of the building it is open for the inspection of every one any time they care to look it over. Both phones are installed in the marshaTs office where he will be found a greater part of the day

It was reported that the people of that section were en- trely without water except such as was obtainable from the ditches. on motion of Councilman Crismon, sec onded by Councilman Nelson, the re- port was held over until the next meeting for action
 Clerk Peyton and Water Superin-
 tendent Gollaher were Instructed to
 cut off the fan at present installed
 there, on account of price. The bill
 was held up on statement that as
 good a fan could be secured for much
 less money.

 should have every facility for fight
 ing fire on the 4th, should the same
 become necessary. a motion was
 passed allowing Lou Trimble $4O0 to keep his fast team attached to the chemical engine during the day.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 4

Prof. H. Q. Robertson completed the school census of school district No. 4. prior to leaving for the na- tional educational convention, and re- ports the following: Number of chil- dren between the ages of six and twenty-one. boys A, girls 442, tota' SS6. It would appear to be difficult to find a community where the schOO children are so nearly equal as tC sex. The boys have two the best Ol the census, but when it comes t. school attendance, the girls have something like 33 per cent over the boys. The school facilities of the district are hardly sufficient to ac- cCmmodate all the pupils and it will be necessary to erect another build ing soon

NO SPECIAL TRAINS.

No special trains have been pro vided for the benefit of Tempe peo- pie on the railroads today. The rates have been slightly reduced. but those intending to go any place will have to be content with the regular train schedule which is in force at all times It is thought that the at tendance from Tempe will be about equally divided between Mesa and Phoenix. which is about as well as could be expected since both towns are providing special celebrations.
