WANT INVERTED S|PHON
 UNDER CENTRAL AVENUE.

The board of trustees of special read district No. 1 which includes Central avenue, let the contract yes terday for putting in a new surface on Central avenue from McDowell road to the little Maricopa canal. The California Arizona construc- company has the contract and yes terday morning put a force of twen- ty-five or thirty men at work, and intend to complete the job in ten days.
 Col. E. NJ. Lamson, one of the members of the board, stated yes- | terday that this work should have been done in September but the beard has been waiting for the Unit ed states reclamation service to ap- Irove the plans for an inverted si- | phon to carry the water of the Mari copa canal under Central avenue, the same as the Salt River canal in the city
 Up to the present time the of : ficials of the reclamation service have failed to approve the plans, so that it will now be impossible to have all the paving on Central ave- rue completed by fair time. | The board of trustees originally intended to have all of this work done a year ago, but it seems that the last legislature "juggled" with the road district bill so that when the board of trustees made requisi-
 ton on the board of supervisors of | Maricopa county for the road money l collected by the county and placed in the road fund, they found that
 there was nothing in the present
 road district law authorizing the
 transfer of funds, and upon the ad- Vice of the county attorney the board
 of supervisors refused to honor the
 acquisitions, so the road district found itself in the unenviable posi-
 tion of not only being obliged to keeI
 up all the roads within it's boundary but was also obliged to pay $160C
 toward keeping up the roads in the
 rest of the county. But this is not the worst
 By actual count it has been as-
 certained that less than per cent
 of the traffic on the roads of specia
 district No. l is by taxpayers within
 the district. So many of the 95 pel
 cent of the non- presidents who use
 the roads are in the class called
 'speeders," it has been necessary fol
 the board of trustees to employ z deputy sheriff, at a salary of S40.0t per month or nearly s5000O per year
 to patrol Central avenue daily, tC prevent the "speeders" from tearins the pavement to pieces and to pro. ] tect the lives of the residents of tn, district, their children, and all other. who are using the roads for legiti mate purposes.

That the Globe Phoenix stage line IS soon to take it's place among the common carriers of the state, "all same railroads" is made known in an application for incorporation filed yesterday with the corporation con- mission.
 As soon as the application is grant ed by the commission, the autos that are to haul thousands of tourists over the scenic highway via the big dam will be subject to just as close su- pervision and regulation by the con- mission as are any of the railroads. Other lines, especially those operat- ing in this valley, are shid to be considering the same step.

Academy Baseball Team.

The baseball season has ropened at
the academy and the boys are rounding
into shape in the old school building.
Several veterans were lost last year
through graduation but in spite of this
the remaining few and the recruits,
are entering into this season with the
true spirit and ''pep" that will bring
success. Athletics in the school is a
very essential feature in the develop
nent of sound body and a quick mind
and should never under any condition
be neglected. Baseball is the only
branch of athletics which is left in our
school and therefore should receive
the attention of the public. The boys
will do their share to uphold the past
athletic standard of the school but
without the assistance of the towns
people B. A. athletics will have to
be dropped. We ask you who are
interested (and those who ought to be
interested to come out and push the
national game along at B. A. To meet
the needs Of the team this spring a
dance will be given in the near future
and we ask again for your support.
Manager Paige has arranged for the
following games for this spring: April
