j ssapa1aeUt has Just come from
the Board of Missions of the Episcopal
-lnIi-ci' 10 the effect that the emer-
Sency fund which it sought to secure
some months ago has been more than
met. The statement will doubtless
serve as stimulant and an inspira-
ton 10 the other mission boards OF
the ountry. 1t Is as follows: The
emergency has been triumphant!y
met. The 100000 asked for by this
Board of Missions has been given
and S31 900 more. The churchs work
has been saved from serious Injury.
Unselfish service, generous giving and
earnest PRAYER have made the year
1916 one of the most notable IN our
history
The response to the appeal for an
emergency fund has emboldened the
Board of Missions to take action 1t
has long desired to take. AT q recent
meeting II was unanimously decided
that the first $4,000 received during
the fiscal year 1915-l6 In undesignated
IleEaeies should be devoted to the pur-
chase Of land and tho erection OF
buildings in the domestic field in the
United States. This amount, there
fore. will not be availa BILE, as hereto
fore. to meet appropriations.
THE board believes that the church
has recorded its conviction that not
timid hesitation. and still less retreat
but courageous advance should be the
present policy"

ROOSEVELT ROAD
 ID BE REPAIRED

A subscription for the temporary re-
 pairing of the Roosevelt road was
 started late yesterday afternoon.
 similar subscription is being circulated
 in Phoenix and Tempe. While the
 prospects for securing the passage of the resolution by congress granting s20, 900 for the repairs of the road are bright, yet the present condition is
 such as to practically stop travel from Roosevelt to Mesa. The various com mittees at work on the subscriptions are acting on the assumption that it i may be weeks or even months before l the government fund may be secured. 1 It is understood that Globe will send | two hundred men with teams to work Sunday on this side of the dam. Practically without exception the | business men of Mesa express them
 selves as to the injustice of being com pelled to handle this matter by public subscription in the face of the present
 rate of taxation and the past burden voted on the city in the building of 1 this road
