HE PAINTED AMERICAN SCENES

Henry Ward Ranger, who died sev eral days ago, was the dean of Ameri- can landscape painters.
 MT. Rangers pictures hang in many of the public art galleries of the coun- try, including the Metropolitan Art museum and the Carnegie Institute in Pittshurg, as well as in many private galleries. His work was greatly ad- mired by the late J. P Morgan, who had d deep respect for MT Rangers powers as a judge of art
 MT Ranger was self taught in art and assmiliated various forms of land scape painting by travel and study in France. England and Holland.
 He had a summer home in Noank. Conn. and the shores and hills of Con necticut were the subjects of many of his paintings. While the critics said that the first of the Ranger paintings were untrue to nature, this criticism was not often heard after his maturity His work was generally known for DOT traying the force rather than the deli cacy of nature-New York Times.

1 Mesa News Notes ! JOHNATHAN T|CE |S
 CALLED ID BEYOND

Residents of Mesa and Higley. and, in fact, the entire South Side, will learn with sorrow of the death of Johnathan Tice. at his ranch home near Higley Tuesday night at II o'clock.
 Mir. Tice was 67 years of age and is one of the well and favorably known deesrt ranchers who has wrested from the barren soil a comfortable living and who by the energetic efforts of himself and his son Harry had pro- duced one of the beauty spots on the desert to the east. The funeral serv- ice will be held this afternoon at ? o'clock at the W. A. Burton X Sons undertaking parlors. Rev. Jack Roun- tree, pastor Of the Tempe Christian church, will read the services. The re- mains will he shipped on the after noon train, accompanied by the son, Harry Tice, and a daughter, now in Texas, who will join the son en route. MT Tice had an attack of grippe just prior to the holidays. put had recov- cred and on Tuesday afternoon began suffering from an attack of acute in- digestion. He came to Mesa in an auto and consulted a physician. returning to his home about o'clock. Shortly be- fore his death he suffered another se- we're attack and succumbed. The sud- denness of his departure but adds to the shock and grief of his host of friends.

TROUBLE WITH WELL

The contractors who are putting down the city well are having more than their share of trouble these days. A great deal of rock has been encoun- tered and a few days ago a bit was broken off in the well. This was re- covered and now the drill is encounter ing large boulders, which are held to- gether by a sort of cement formation, making drilling exceedingly difficult. The well is down 125 feet, and the con- tract calls for 300 feet. or until the second strata of water is reached showing a flow of 100 gallons per min ute. Water Superintendent Gollaher is very anxious that the well be in op- eration before the hot days of summer come on with the heavy demand on the one well now being used.
 Speaking of the one well, it is doubt ful if the average resident of Mesa is aware of the splendid system so far as it goes of the Mesa water works. Some s60 900 will represent the original cost. about seven years ago. and since that time $35,000 have been expended in extensions and improvements. and now there is a tidy sinking fund be- ing laid away to retire the bonds
 portion of the efficiency of the plant is shown in the independent cleo tric power capable of being used. The South Side Gas and Electric Company furnish the power to operate the pump. but some three years since the water superintendent installed a gas engine which propels an electric generator, which, when occasion arises, can han dle the pumps. Last summer, when the storms disabled the power plant, this auxiliary plant of the water works kept the town in water

 United States Steel established it's supremacy at the outset and led the list throughout. recording an extreme gain of 52s points at 115. Dealings in steel approximated 350,000 shares
 Taking today's maximum as a basis of comparison, steel has recovered more than half its December reversal while other industrials made even a better showing. General Motors old stock made a sheer descent of 50 points on one sale at TOO

COUNCIL MEETING

At the Tuesday night meeting of the city council the probable purchase of the South Side Gas and Electric plant was further discussed. There seems to be little doubt that the stockholders of the plant will accept the proposition of sl13,000 as the purchase price, sub ject to the ratification of the voters. The council discussed at length the much needed improvement of the streets, and the members are desirous that the work begin as soon as pos sible.
