NEW POST OFFICE
 OPENED AT CHANDLER
E. E. Morrison Receives His Com mission and Is Ready for Busi-
 ness at the New Town.

Only few years ago the town site where Chandler is located was a faVorite hunting place for Nimrods in search of quail. And they found plenty of game there. Not only quail but jack rabbits, cotton tails and coyotes were numerous in that part of the valley. Less than five years ago. the suggestion of a pOstoffice at Chandler would have been received with a smile of incredulity. But times are changing; the Mesa sec tion of MaricOpa county is now in the midst of a phenomenal growth. The hunting grounds of a few years past are now dotted with farmohuses and the building marking the birth of a new town. Where coyotes chased jack rabbits in the olden days, work . men are now laying the foundation for city of homes and business houses.
 Some months ago MT E. E. Morri- son opened a general store at Chand- Ter and shortly afterWard applied for appointment as postmaster. In due time the appointment came and MT Morrison filed his bond with the post office department; yesterday his com mission arrived from Washington, and during the afternoon, Postmaster w w. Newell of Mesa drove to Chand- fer and assisted in getting the Chand- Ter office duly launched. It is started as a fourth class office of course, but no one need be surprised to see it's class raised a notch within the next year. together with a rural free de livery attached. Times are moving il. this section, and if advertising and boosting count. both Mesa and Chand Ter will be widely known to the world within the next five years.

BOAT INVENTOR IN TOWN

There is stopping at the Mesa Inn quite a noted resident of Santa Cata- lima island, A B. Chappell. MT. Chap pell is the man who built the first glass bottomed boat that has proven so great an attraction to visitors at Avalon the summer resort town of the island. This boat was constructed twelve years ago and has been in constant use since. Passengers in the boat are enabled by means of the transparent bottom to see the fish as they appear in their natural element and can gain a knowledge of the deep sea vegetation. A visit to Ava lon without taking a ride in the glass -bottomed boat is rarity. While in Mesa. MT. Chappell has be- come so attached to the valley that he filed on land seventeen miles out and expects to become at some later date a permanent resident of the county. He will return to Catalina Island about July first and make ar engagements to be here again early in September; on his return will pro- ceed to improve his landed pos sessions.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

It may be interesting to strangers who contemplate investment in Mesa property, to know what protection the town residents have in case of fire. Hence the following from the report of the fire chief, C. Fred Bracket, noting the improvements made re- gently, should be sufficient to show that the town is amply protected.
 'The chemical engine has been thor Oughly repaired and supplied with new soda bags, chemical tank and 100 feet of chemical hose, placing it in first class cOnditiOn; installed two six feet Severn hand reels with a capacity of 800 feet of hose each i; supplied with 600 feet of the best 4 ply 21a inch cotton hose. Every man of the department i sequipped with smoke goggles, respiratOrs and al luminum fire helmets. Each cart is equipped with an Anderson cut of nozzle and Cooper hose jackets. A fire barn has been built next to the 0. k. Stables and a 6OO-pound fire bell installed"
 With this equipment and a splendid water pressure, the department should be able to handle any fire which may occur.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE

Tomorrow evening, on the MethO- dist church lawn, there will be an illustrated lecture by Rev. MT. Rob erts. The lecture is on the early pio- neer days when the Apache Indians made such horrible and dreaded raids from San Carlos. These pictures were made by a competent artist who went along with the white men who fought the Apaches. The pie ture of Geronimo the dreaded chief who caused the slaughter of many hundreds of white people and who died recently, will be depicted on the canvas. The Indians in hostile camp, in conference and on the war path and various other scenes will be shown. These pictures are genuine and there is no other set like them in existence Many of the old pio- neers of Mesa can no doubt recall to mind the pictures of this cruel and dreaded war It will be of interest to the younger generation as well as it will make them better appreciate this land of sunshine when they realize the hardships of the brave pioneers. MT. Roberts has gathered much interesting data and the lecture can not help entertaining anyone in terested in Arizona. The admission will be twenty-five cents. adults and fifteen cents, children This will in clude refreshments. It will be nice and cool on the lawn in the evening and no one need stay away on ac- count of the warm weather.

If there is any one in Tempe who missed the circus Wednesday evening they certainly missed the time of their lives.

Several of the girls while attempting to stand up on a horse feH off, but they were up and at 1t again in no time. Another time dur ing the chariot race the leading chariot tipped over spilling its driver but she immediately picked herself up and started out in pursuit of the horse and upturned cart It looked at times as though some one would certainly get hurt but they all escaped without more than a bruise or two.
