London, Dec. All London papers
with the exception of the Telegraph anC
the Post, as well as the leading provin
terview OF Karl H. Won Wiegand, with
the German crown prince. The edi
torial expressions of the various pa.
pers are typical wartime comments.
The Birmingham Post carries lengthy
ironical editorial. Commenting on
the reference to the strategic ability
of the heir of the German throne, the
Post says
"The crown prince handled the stra-
tegic problem of facing a newspaper in
terviewer with conspicuous ability"
The Express heads Won Wiegand's
story: AN Interview With the Ger
man Crown Prince" and editarially
characterized the interview as Ger
many's latest attempt to influence
American opinion. Won Wiegand is
termed IAN amiable and ohedient jour
nalist,' and the editorial adds:
Eve wonder what would have hap
pened to the loyal Won Wiegand if he
had interpolated something more like
the truth in the interview"
The Daily Mirror headline is: "Crown
Prince Interviewed just Before Bat

Americans Think of Him"
The Daily Sketch, in running COM

"The crown prince bewitehed the

doubtedly he had good reason to favor

BONDING FOR ROADS
DOESN'T END COST
Besides Interest on Bonds There Is the
Expense for Upkeep If There Is Any
thing to Show at End of the
Bonding Period.

While it is frequently easy for a coun'
ty to issue bonds and borrow money for
improving the local highways. the rails.
ing of the money to retire those bonds
at maturity is often not so simple
Many counties, in borrowing money for
bonds, figure that the amount of none y
raised represents the total cost of the
road forgetting that the road must be
maintained and repaired if, at the end
of the term of the bonds, the county is
to have anything to show for its invest
ment.
The question of financing country road
building is discussed fully in department
of agriculture bulletin No. 1886, entitled
Highway Bonds" which is written by
the office of public roads in collabora-
ton with James w. Glover, professor of
ma thematics and insurance, University
OF Michigan. In this bulletin the au-
thors discuss fully the various methods
of financing road building and retiring
debts for road construction, and also
deal frankly with the actual total cost
Of road during the life of the bonds.
Cn the total cost of a road, the authors
cite the following two examples as af-
fording at least a basis for estimating
the total minimum cost of mile of
road:

with 2o-Year Bonds.
Bituminous- macadam:
Cost of construction (Sl0,500)

Cost of annual repair and
maintenance $4,000 for 20
years ................. 100000 |
Total cost for 20 years. -. 1872. 1868 |
The authors point out that the ac.
tual cost OF building and maintaining a
specific highway can be determined only /
lfter the character and volume of traf
lc and actual wear and tear have been
studied for a series OF years. The fig.
apply to ordinary macadam, gravel or
lay roads, but in all these cases the
interest on the bonds must be met, and
here must be expenditures TO maintain

irainage and the less permanent the

reater must be the percentage that re-
air costs will bear To the first cost.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Demand for Butter Light and Prices Ex-
pected to Drop Later.

/
Boston, Dec. 2.--Demand for butter in
the local market is very light and while
no change is made in quotations, it is
no secret that they are more of an ask.
ing than a selling basis. Buyers seem
firmly convinced that prices will be low
er soon after the turn of the new year,
if not before, and for that reason are
merely covering their immediate needs.
Supplies are more than ample for wants
and sellers are obliged to shade quota
tons to prevent accumulations. The
cheese market is not active, but il is
quite steady, as holders are not forcing
sales in view OF the fact that primary
markets are irmer and cheese improves
with age. No change is noted in prices
OF eggs, but the market is hardly as firm
as It WAS recently, as demand is not az
large as ii has been, and there is
slight, ut constant incrsase in the re-
ceipts.

Falls from Height of Eff teen Hundred Feet, Lands in an Oak Tree and Says He Has Made His Last Flight
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

SANTA BARBARA, March 1.-Fall- ing fifteen hundred feet after loop ing the loop" Lincoln Beachey re- gained control of his biplane five hundred feet above the earth just when death seemed inevitable and escaped with slight injuries.
 The machine crashed into live oak grove, and broke off large branch of tree but the first one upon the scene found Beachey out vigorously commenting on his luck.
 The aviator was at height of two thousand feet when he made a loop. His biplane then pointed it's nose toward the earth and made an unexpected spiral dip. It turned sideways and completed the circle in this position Then it twisted into every conceivable position. The en- zine was working perfectly all the time.
 Few spectators realized anything was wrong until the fall was nearly over.
 I've made my last flight" declared Beachey afterward.

Especial to The sepublican.)

TUCSON. March Edward A. Brichta, fifteen years old, died at the Rogers hospital at 9 o'clock this evening as a result of receiving a bullet in the brain. Young Brichta was riding into Tucson from Rillito in a mountain wagon His father and younger brother were upon the front seat of the wagon and Edward sat alone upon the back seat
 His father, hearing a shot turned and saw his son stopping over and bleeding. He grabbed the lad in his arms and whipping up his horse raced madly into Tucson. The sur geons commenced operating at 80 o'clock, but could see from the start there was little hope of saving the lads life.
 The accident was caused by shot from a P caliber revolver with which the boy had been playing while in the wagon. He was a nephew of Dornabe Brichta, well known here. The bullet entered the brain under the right eye

Especial to The Republican,

WASHINGTON, March 1-Water users on the Salt River project are to have the choice of alternative pro- positions in the report of the sur vey board which is to be put up to the directors of the Waters Users association tomorrow. Widely diver gent plans are proposed in the re- concentrations of the survey board and the counter suggestions of the reclamation commission
 The survey board to limit the area of this project was appointed in ac cordance with a letter from the As sistant Secretary of the Interior to the Salt River Valley Water Users association. and was organized for work on Nov IS, last. Their pre- liminary report is dated Dec. g, 1913, and is signed by F. w. Hanna, chairman w. A. Parish and Frank H Parker members, the last named representing the Water Users asso- citation and the former the local project officials. Chairman Hanna was appointed as the direct repre- sentative of the Washington office of the reclamation service and has supervising engineer of the south western district.
 The report reviews the water sup ply and gives tables extending over a period since 1889. based on computa- tions of five acre feet and also on 4.5 acre feet of water per acre of ir- rigable land at the point of diversion from Salt River into the canals. The present use of water is about acre feet and the los sin distribution is 30 per cent making the duty of water on the land about 3.5 acre feet. It is believed, the report states, that more economical methods of irrigation. bet ter cultivation, improvements in the canals and reduction of wastes will increase the duty of water to such an extent that 4.5 acre feet at the points of diversion of water /from Salt river may ultimately be assumed.
 There have already been installed on the project nine pumping plants having an average capacity per plant TOT ITTlSdtlllS ISUU dcIeo. a oluuy ol the underground water supply avail able for pumping purposes in the val ley indicates Ca supply sufficient to furnish minimum of 10000 acre feet per annum, requiring the install lation of 21 additional pumping plants to fully develop it. This will make a total of 30 pumping plants which should be capable of supplying at least 35.O00 acres of land
 In view of the facts as set forth in the report it is decided to recom- mend that an area of 195,000 acres inclusive of tOwnsites, be included in the project The driest year would then have 42 per cent of full supply

OF DISTRICT:
 MESA SCHOOL NEEDS

The growing city of Mesa is about to spend $150,00O in building and equip ping a thoroughly modern high school system, for the Mesa union district, to make it one of the most complete and adequate school plants in the entire state. Following the example of the Phoenix union high school the unit system will be used, and a group of buildings, which for beauty of design and utility of construction, will equal anything in the entire southwest, has been planned, the work to begin as soon as the bonds, voted on Saturday. at the school election, are sold
 The proposed changes include a re- vamping of the present building, to make it conform to the new buildings that are to be constructed There will be three of these new buildings con- structed of reinforced concrete, and fitted within with everything calculated to make a school plant A0O per cent. efficient. There will be plenty of room for the manual training domestic science vocational pursuits. as well as Apl AAiC i'iiti4Oil }le'iiN4iNH- NA4pot 9AtA'flte which used to be considered in place only in the high school. Mesa union high school will turn out young men and women ready either to go into the world to make living, or to continue their studies in the state universities, of this, or any other state.
 A glance at the beautiful picture of the plans printed above, will give a splendid idea of how well the directors of the school on the south side have planned. The campaign for the ap- proval Of this plan, was made upon the platform of Good schools means bet { ter citizens happier homes, and fewer criminals. Put something into the schools to interest the boys and girls. The coming generations demand the best. A good school system means in- creased population and added wealth " Five years ago this present month the present high school building in Mesa was dedicated, At that time, il was thought the high school would be sufficient for ten or fifteen years to come. but in the intervening time, the percentages of increase per year, have been about as follows.

SURVEY BOARD RECOMMENDS
RECLAMATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDS

It is fully appreciated that the water supply for this series of dry years is inadequate for the acreage named, but with full consideration of all
 the factors entering into the problem,
 it is believed that the best interests of the project as whole demand the inclusion of such an acreage.
 The additional pumping plants
 should be located so as to deliver
 water into canals carrying q large
 percentage of gravity water and the development of the cultivated area of the project should be kept within the limits of the developed water
 supply of the project Considering the
 gravity supply now developed suffi- cient for 160,00 acres and the nine pumping plants already installed capable of watering about 10000 acres,
 the cultivated area under the present development should not be permitted to exceed 17O.OOO acres until addi- tional pumping plants are installed. As additional pumping plants are installed additional corresponding
 acreage maye be brought under cul- tivation.
 If it is found feasible to develop pumped water for more than 35,000 acres, it is recommended that such water be used to supplement the supply rather that for additional land. l The storage of water on the Verde river has not been considered by the 1 government as part of the Salt River project. Tables show that during the period from 1889 to 1913 considerable water would have wasted from the Verde water supply on the assump-
 tion of a gravity project of 161,111 acres, based on the use of 4.5 acre | feet of water per acre, supplied from the Verde and Salt rivers as controll-
 ed by the Salt River reservior. In vestgations on the Verde river have
 disclosed desirable reservior that can be constructed at economical cost. This reservior site is known as the
 Horseshoe site and has a capacity of
 about 205,000 acre feet A hydro graph showing the gravity supply and the pumped supply combined with 1 Roosevelt and Horseshoe reserviors is shown. The pumps are assumed to be operated whenever storage water
 would be drawn on and the water
 from Horseshoe reservior is always i drawn on for storage before Roose- : welt reservior is drawn on.
 The construction of the Horseshoe
 reservior on the Verde river would help to tide over the water supply for
 a project of 195,000 acres for short
 periods and to build up the Salt River
 reservior during periods of plentiful
 runoff for use in long, dry periods,
 and would furnish it's own capacity for use at the beginning of dry per iods of long duration and catch small
