MAN ON THE BOX
 MAKES B|C HIT
Manager Detrick More Than Fulfills Expectations in Pleasing Representation to Appreciative Audience of Broadway Sensation

The Derrick Stock company has struck it's gait; rather the patrons of the Empress theater are beginning to appreciate the gait the new dramatic company has been travelling from the first and the delighted audience that witnessed ~'The Man on the Box last night, was no more than the talented aggregation deserved. It is a splendid gation of talent it entertains the most eXacting. The company made a fine impression with The Lion and the Mouse" but those who have seen ev- cry performance and have heretofore accepted that entertainment as a Det- rick standard of excellence have fur ther elevated their ideal of Empress productions.
 A feature of The Man on the Box is that it gives such a fine opportunity for so many important characters. MT. Derrick, who has hitherto cast himself in secondary places, is in this bill especially adapted to the role of
  who all but betrayed his country to save his daughter from a social deg radiation resulting from his own in discretions at Monte Carlo. Fortunate ly he was thWarted in his designs by the hero, Lieutenant Worburton. in the person of sherman Bainbridge who, always carrying the lead parts well, in this instance seems personally more in harmony with the heroic work he has to do than in me of the Coarser characters he has hitherto been called upon to delinca:a.
 Of Miss Adams too much ca1r)t Le said in compliment She has a iong and arduous part to play in this bill and plays it with natuTaIness and grace. Miss Adams is not acting the part of Betty. She is living it.
 Lois Bolton as Nancy, sister of the body at finding her hero brother in the office of coachman when she called on her friend, was the right girl in the right place. and more cannot be said of any person on the stage. Miss Noel as Cora, Miss Fowler as Mrs. Conway, and Buttolph, Gordon, Me Donald, Roberts and Williamson, are all well cast and were space available would share in special comments of appreciation.
 The same play will be seen the res of the week and Sunday evening and however good may be succeeding bills the company will not have lived in vain if it never gives a better one than The Man on the Box"

PICK AND
 SHOVEL DAY
Enthusiasts Agree to All Hel p in Smoothing Out Wrinkles and Massaging Bumps in Roads for Fair Week

A Good Roads Day" on which every motor car owner and all the inhabi- tants of the county who are at all in terested in smooth highways will as- slst, was proposed at the meeting of the Phoenix division of the Oceonto- Ocean highway association last night. The suggestion followed a long argu- ment on road conditions in Maricopa county in which every one granted that something ought to be done to prepare the face of nature for fair weeks visitors
 Taking his idea from the method of the Prescott roads committee, George Purdy Buliard outlined a plan for fil- ling in chuck holes and massaging out the wrinkles in the tracks. "On some special day, let every owner of an au- tOmobile pack a pick and shovel in his car and go out to fix roads. If enough go along the work will not be heavy on anyone, yet together they will do a great deal" he said Then it was suggested that Governor Hunt be asked to issue a proclamation, set ting aside d day two weeks before fair commences as Good Roads Day" when every loyal booster is appointed a committee to rake up a machine and tote dirt for good roads sake. In Pres colt. the motorists made 15 miles of marble topped road in three days, and none of them got very many blisters on their palms.
 By making the county into a set of districts and offering a trophy cup to the best kept section, the automobile association can stimulate a great in terest in the clean up day. That plan was fully discussed at the meeting last night. The auto club and motor deal CTS about the county can be made par ty to this project
 It was resolved to ask the president of the ocean to- Ocean highway asso citation to postpone the meeting of the body his year in Santa Fe. New Mexico until the latter part of November or until December. That will give the original division of the highway an op- portunity to be better represented al the assembly.
 The secretary was instructed to wire the president of the A. A. A. MT. Bachelder, the chairman of the eXecu- tive committee of the association, Westgaard, the tourist and others, pointing out the reasons for routing the highway through Phoenix. As the only region through which a road can be kept open in winter as well as summer, the Salt River valley is claimed to be an ideal location for a section of the national touring road. As a route that must be closed during some seasons of

timately, that there is sufficient en- rollment, the Sunny South organiza- tion will furnish the material for the organization of various southern state societies, the original organ
 ization being maintained in it's en- tirety. Registrations may be made with Harry Johnson and also with E. w. Getsinger and John I. Irwin.
 It was decided by the combined committees that no effort shall be spared to make the All State Day at the fair the best of the week. There will be a program of racing, athletic sports, and speeches, the whole to be preceded with a big parade. Another meeting of the committees will be held in the board of trade rooms next Thursday evening at s o'clock.
 All the arrangements for a big race will be finally fixed at the next | meeting The all staters are enthu- siastic as possible and intend to make the closing day of the Arizona 1 fair the gala day of a great week.

CITY JAIL |S
 INLAND SEA
Bastile Floor Is Flooded and Prisoners Organize Swimming Glass; JaiIer Perrin Wants Bell Divers Suit

Hereafter a bathing suit and a life preserver goes with every city jail sentence. That is these accessories will be supplied by City Jailer Perrin ruding the period occupied in the con- struction and solidifying of the con- crete steps now being erected at the entrance to the police station on the West side of the city hall building. Un- less the steps are speedily completed occupants fill be afforded the pleasure of bathing in an inland sea, a feature long desired by some of the most ar dent advocates of the advantages of Phoenix and the Salt River valley.
 In the process of constructing the massive concrete steps, one of the de- tails of the work consists in thorough ly wetting down the dirt covering the new cement There seems to be a spot somewhere in the work more upon than any other through which the water percolates and falling into the areaways in front of the basement windows proceeds to flood the jail.
 At times recently there have been several inches of water upon the jail floor At first this caused a panic among those confined in the city bas tile. Some of the unwashed objected to taking a compulsory bath on the grounds that it was an interference with their personal rights. Others, unable to swim. feared drowning.
 At this juncture a former swimming instructor, serving a sentence for inn bibing freely, organized class and proceeded to instruct the guests of the city in the noble art of keeping their heads above water. Jailer Perrin says he will refuse to feed the prisoners un- less furnished with a bell diving suit.
 Some of these days unlers the water is shut off, person passing the city hall building and glancing in the di- rection of the city jail windows will be treated to the spectacle of prison CTS floating about the bastle or div ing from the top of the cages. Chief Moore announced yesterday that he would no longer tolerate making a swimming pool out of his lookup.

amateur sport. The membership of last years league is automatically ta- ken up by the rectnly organized club, pion team of five men to the congress in Spokane last February. Last year Phoenix team came out Fist in 1855 contenders at the Los Angeles meet. That so encouraged the men, they planned to try em another Whirl next winter.
 F. w. Slocum, who was the eXecu- tive of last years league, occupies the chair now His officers are also the same: George w. Brown, vice president and R. N. Moutier, a mem Der of last years champs, secretary treasurer.
 After the business of organizing was off their hands the members proceed ed to form their teams for the com ing tournaments. Eight sets were picked without any trouble; and busi- ness men of the town were found to back every aggregation. If there were room, players could be found to fill twice as many teams, but the mem bership will be restricted to the right sort and the best sports, rather than huge bOWlers.
 It will take about two weeks to get things in shape for the tournament. The alleys will be fixed up by the mid dle of October It is now planned to start the balls rolling on the fifteenth with a preliminary series.

BOWLING BUGS READY
 FOR WINTER SEASON
Meeting at Ford Hotel Last Night Completed Affiliation With
 Western Congress

Thirty bowling bugs met at the Ford hotel last night and as a result of their deliberations Phoenix is now represented in the Western Bowling Congress by a league of eight teams. The name of the league is the Salt River Valley Bowling league and it's a hot organization of the best sports in the county
 It was moved and adopted to play the game under the rules of the American Bowling congress, the most powerful body in all the world of the year. any other crossing place of the Rocky mountains must be a fail ure. On that point all the hammering is being done and when things are def initely decided, the packers of the na- tiOnal pike must see that Arizona con tains the only feasible route for the year round route.
 The following members of the di- vision will act as a committee on membership: A. L. Moore, G. P. Bull lard, L. $. Thompson, w. A Gordon. E. P Conway.

THE HIGHEST MAN.

Bishop E. E. Hoss in a recent
address had the following to say
as to who was the mlghtiest man
of this era:
1.-The mightiest man OF this
era is not the preacher IN his
pulpit, mighty as he IS, nor the
professor IN his exalted office,
but the editor in his Uttered sane
tum. [ do not mean to assert that
he is the most conspicuous man;
for more and more, unless the
first letters of his name are Hen
ry Watterson Or Charles Dana,
his personality fades into the
background, and his influence
becomes impersonal and pervas-
i've. All the same, however, he
makes contribution, the signlh-
canoe of which cannot be over
estimated, to that vast aggregate
of thoughts and impulses that
dominate and direct our whole
complex social order.

just told me that we are going

we are ordered to go up Deer
creek on what is called Rolling
Fork where the yankees are try
ing TO come through with their
boats. The Yankees are gone
from about Green Wood, though
we have left a right good army
there to keep on lookout for
them, If they should undertake

bad now about getting off to

Rolling Fork it IS about as near

me often. I wish I could see
little Tommie. I want to see my
sweet wife and the little baby
