Lehi News

Last Saturday, clear and bright, proved an ideal day for the field sports arranged for the celebration of the an niversary of the arrival of the first company of white settlers iii the Lehi valley. There was a large crowd in at tendance. Practically every one in the place was present. The sports began at 10 a. in. with various kinds of foot rac- es, bicycle races, etc. The winner of each race was awarded a small prize The races occupied practically the en- tire morning. While the sports were going on in the ball park and the school grounds, the ladies had charge of a number of very interesting booths at the hall nearby where home made can dies, hot cocoa and cake, hot sandwich es and ice cream were for sale. Nearly all of the eatables were disposed of by noon.
 In the afternoon a basket ball game was played between the girls of the town team and the school team com posed of girls from the seventh and

eighth grades. The town girls won the game after a rather spirited debate with Prof. c. c. Jones the referee, over certain rules of the game. There was also a lively baseball game between the Lehi boys and the Indians from the local reservation. The Lehi team were splendid in their brand new grey uni forms with Lehi in black letters. But in spite of the fact of the new uniforms the Lehi team allowed the Indians to carry off the honors of the day as ball players. Not the least interesting feat
 ure of the days program was an auction sale. Various articles had been donated
 by different ones for the sale. There
 was a pony, a ton of hay, q buggy, a
 blow, and different farm implements;
 also chickens, turkeys, etc. Nearly ev-
 cry article was sold at fair price. A
 good sum of money was raised which
 was turned over to the M. l. A.
 The only unfortunate incident of the day was caused by ball striking Mrs.
 Dan Thompson in the fact and break
 ing her nose.
 The school census of this district has just been completed by Census Marshal O. C. Jones, showing PIT children of school age residing in the district. This is a considerable increase over last year.
 H. DeFries, who lives at the Latter Day Saints mission on the Indian res ervation, reports that he is improving the grounds by setting out fruit trees and many ornamental shrubs. He is fruit trees on their own places as very few of them raise any fruit of their own.
 Sunday night the Lehi Mutuals held joint session instead of their regular lesson meeting. A very interesting pro- gram was rendered.

CENTRAL SCHOOL MAY
 NOW PAVE ITS STREETS
New Law Permits Sale of Bonds for lmprovement-Feder Block Paw
 ing May Follow

The passage of an amendatory bill in the legislature and it's approval by the governor will permit the Central school to get rid of some approved improve ment bonds, and to pave that half of the Central avenue block that has been such a nuisance for so long, Postmas- ter c. B. Wood sees in this the possi- bility of revival of interest in the plan to pave around the federal build l. ing, so as to rid the city of another source of adverse comment.
 In the original bill, which. it seems was one of the few measures drawn up for the first legislature by an attorney there was no provision for the sale of the bonds. Now, in two years after the bonds were elected, it is made and provided" that they may be disposed of so that the work can proceed.
 Uncle Sam has rigidly enforced pol icy of never paying for improvements about federal buildings. Pavement for the block around the postoffice will have to be paid for by the city An other thing. however, enters into the considers tion-the impossibility of paving straight up North First avenue until another syphOn is constructed for the Salt River canal. This canal forms . bug bear, against which each north and south street will have to contend when the paving question comes up tor the ditch is incOnSiderate enouPh to be off grade

ARIZONA HAS UNIQUE l ARCHITECTURE TYPES
Automobile, Architectural Show Will Bring Out Two Distinct Build
 ing Conceptions

Successful architects throughout | the country generally possess in ad- dition to high technical ability an artistic conception that is often of d very high order. Their studies in | the realm of art for architecture is | one of the great arts, result often in collections of pictures that would do credit to many amateur picture col lections. The committee in charge of the architectural department of | the coming automobile and architec- tural exposition have been allotted the large room on the right of the
 main entrance of the First Battalion Armory, at the corner of First and Polk streets, for the display of these | pictures. This room will partakc i largely of the nature of rest room, l but it will be adorned with pictures from the collections of all the archi- tects in the city who so far have expressed their willingness to CO., operate in making the exhibition a success
 This is going to make that room one of the most attractive sections
 of the great show The picture dis play will have an object, as will ev ! erything else that is done in connec tion with the show It is to be utili-
 tarian also in that it will draw at tention directly to the plans best I f.1 ff l,;. the southwest. as well as showing
 numbers of studies for plans typical | of this country.
 | There are two styles that are a part and parcel of the history of building in this country, which have been used largely in many buildings
 in man sections of the southwest.
 These two styles are known as the Mission and the Pueblo. The Mis-
 sion style was that of the Spanish fathers who came either with or be-
 fore the conquerors-som after it and whose churches are still the
 wonder of the world. The Pueblo
 style of building was that of the
 town Indians, and there are many complications in this state.
 Some of the architects who are to exhibit have made a study of these buildings and their adaptation for modern purposes, which have been
 reduced to drawings and pictures, the
 whole forming most attractive ex-
 hibit interesting and educational.
 It is hardly necessary to predict
 that this part of the exposition will l be thronged daily and nightly by
 interested Phoenicians and residents
 of the valley. anxious to see the
 ideas of the local building planners.

 Shortly after the terrific explosion shook the center of the city tele- phone calls began to pour into The Republican office One excited sun- scriber was suffering under brain storm to the effect that Mexican bandits were blowing up the Center street bridge.
