MESA CITY COUNCIL PASSES BUDGETFO
 COM|NCF FISCAL YEAR

MESA, Aug. 1.-The city council has passed the budget for the coming fiscal year, the total estimate of the revenues needed to run the city be- ing $13,602.37. The rate is 53 cents per hundred. Under the plan as adopted by the trustees, B. F. Carter, city clerk, will have the general manage 'ment of the public utilities of the town, and a fund to furnish the office with a sufficient clerical force has been provided for. There is one new provision not included in former budgets, or rather not to any such eX- tent. viz: the sum of s1.500 set apart for the salary of fire chief, the council deeming it the part of wisdom to eX- pend this sum in order that a trained man may always be available, and have time to see that the fire truck and other equipment is at all times ready for the most efficient service.

IL was named. This group Of young

Of her mother. In a letter recently

She writes that her mother was
at church the evening before at a

about ten o'clock as well as usual.
At seven o'clock the next morning
she was found apparently still sleep

The intersociety debate Of last
Saturday was a very successful one
and reflects much credit upon the
teams themselves, the societies, and
the department. The effects OF the
many weeks of preparation were
apparent in the carefully organized
briefs, the thoroughly mastered
arguments. and the fluent aud easy
delivery Of all the speakers. Per-
haps the only thing that would have
improved the debate, from the
standpoint Of the audience, would
have been a little more spontaneous
vigor and enthusiasm in its presen-
tation. Even in the rebuttals, soma
OF the speakers seemed TO be slight
ly cold toward the subject matter
they were presenting. After the
evidence was all in, there was little
to choose from the two teams. The
Affirmative gained the decision, we
believe, because Of its deeper
analysis Of the question, its subtler
and more comprehensive grasp OF
the fundamental issues, and its skill
in RECITATION. Our opinion is that
the winning Phi Delta team demon
strated exceptional strength in
handling the more difficult side Of
a difficult question.

REVIEW OF "ALMETTA OF
GABRIEL'S RUN"
Miss Welsh

Among the new holiday books is
"Almetta of Gabriers Rum" This
delightful and appreciative study
of the mountain people is by Mrs
Louise S. Murdoch, wife of the
President of Witherspoon College,
Buckhorn, Kentucky. Mrs. Murdoch
has long lived and worked among
the people she so sympathetically
describes, and the book is the result
OF her own expeI fence. No one who
knows and loves the mountain peo-
pie can fail to appreciate these kind
ly and discriminating sketches. and
to those who do not know them but
would know them Alright the book
will be a good introduction to a
people who, though living plainly,
think nobly, and have much to teacn
the "furriners" who come among
them.
There is an interesting thread Of
running through the book
which holds the attention through
out, and one becomes deeply inter-
ested in the fortunes Of Almetta, the
heroine OF the book.
