BOOSTING FOR THE FAIR.

A c. Egley, representing the fair as- sociation, was in Mesa yesterday af- ternoon trying to interest the people of this section in making a big display at the state fair this fall. Maricopa county is the principal agricultural county of the state and should by all means carry off the prize for the best agricultural exhibit. To do this it will be necessary for the farmers and fruit growers to take part in the exhibit. Grain, fruits and all other products of the country are wanted, Anything ot this kind sent to the board of trade, Phoenix. will be properly cared for and placed on exhibition, with the name of the grower, and section that it is from, thus giving due credit to the grower. The premium lists are now cut and in a few days can be obtained at the commercial club rooms. The preml- ums are more than usually liberal, and the people should take pride in mak- ing the exhibit one that will reflect credit upon the Mesa section as well as upon the county.

MESA
ROAD COMMITTEE
 VISIT SUPERVISORS
Quite Large Committee of Mesa Peo pie lnVede the Court House in
 Interest of State Highway.

Yesterday morning the big car of the Mesa Phoenix auto line was crowded with prominent citizens of Mesa, whose mission in the county seat was to con- Sult with the board of supervisors re- gardlng the location of the state high way Prof. H. c. Robertson was chair man of the committee and others were F. J. Davis M. J. Dougherty, Dan Ma honey, J. J. Fraser, Phil Nets, Dan Klenman, Dan P. Jones, J. w. Lesueur, J. J. Phillips, o. s. Stapley, M. c. Phelps, w. Connolly, c. w. Silver thorn, A M. Parker and several others whose names have escaped the repor- ter. Besides the regular car, the cars of J. w. Connolly, O. S Stapley and J. w. Lesueur carried each a party.
 The interview with the supervisors occurred about ten o'clock and the contention of Mesa that the state high way should pass through Mesa from the west to the east limits of the town, thence south through Gilbert and Hig- ley, was presented by Prof. Robertson, who was armed with maps and demon strated that the route proposed would serve some three thousand people, while the route proposed by the Chandler people would practically cut Mesa off the map and would be of benefit to a very limited number as compared to the Mesa route. MT. Dougherty Mir. Fraser and MT. Jones also spake along the same lines os Prof Robertson. The board gave a hearing also to c. W. Peabody, repre- senting the proposed Chandler route, but at the conclusion, Chairman MOeur, stated that so far as he was concerned he would never consent to any road being designated as a state highway that did not include Mesa. In this he was backed by the statements of Su- pervisors Orme and Luke.
 It can now be said that the road question except as to details of route after the road leaves Mesa, is settled. The work was taken up by the Mesa commercial club, when it was found that Q strong effort was being made to switch the route from that first pro- posed That the organization has been successful is a subject of congratula- ton, and it will be found that Mesa will do her part in helping to make the road one which it AA>ll be a pleasure for the tourists to travel over.

TEMPE
TEMPE PLANS FOR
 MEETING OF BOARDS
Joint Session to be Held Here on Next
 Saturday Afternoon.

The Tempe board of trade is plan ming big things in anticipation of the meeting of the associated board of trade of Maricopa county which is to be held in this city next Saturday af- ternOon. Following the rule of the as- sociatiOn each city with representa- tives in the organization is given the opportunity to entertain the other boards, each in turn. Phoenix, Mesa and Chandler have so far had the hon. or of greeting members of the cham bers of commerce of other valley towns and now it is Tempe's turn.
 But recently, have the members of the board of trade of this place return ed from their summer vacation and still one or two are absent, however, this is the most OppOrtune time to hold the meeting at this place, hence the present arrangements. Upon first pre- parations it was decided to call the meeting for Thursday afternoon but upon further consideration of the mat ter the date was changed to the com ing Saturday.
 The meeting is to be held in the real estate office of A Nielsen, president of the local association. If nothing fur ther is decided upon the organization will be called to order at promptly two | o'clock and the business immediately l taken up.
 It is needless to mention that the l board of directors of the chambers of | commerce of Phoenix, Glendale, Buck | eye, Mesa, Chandler and all other val | ley towns are cordially invited, and in | fact, expected to take part in the met | ing.
 Probably the most important matter | to come up for discussion will be the new state highway which is being built 1 through the local surrounding country
 at this time. It is generally known that | there has been some trouble lately ov- | CT the exact location to be decided upon | as all the cities are naturally anxious 1 that it pass through their respective l business sections. It is thought that at l that time however, something in the
 way of it's location will be decided upon | Other matters involved in the general | welfare of the community will also | come up for discussion
