CITY GOVERNMENT
 PROGRESSIVE AND
 FORWARD LOOKING

The town of Mesa is governed by seven councilmen elected each two years by the people. The present of ficials are Dan Kleinman, mayor, rep resentatiye cattleman and business man of the bluff and virile west. Fred c Weekes is another stockman whom the people selected W. K. Walters, cashier of the First National bank; w. M. Beach, vice president and cashier or inc Salt River Valley bank; Robert Scott president of the same institution, and E.. G. Attaway, merchant, cotton gin owner and cotton grower. The re- maining member of the council, Chas. Johnson. of the Johnson Pearce Pro- duce company, has moved beyond the city limits.
 These six men are ably aided by B. F Carter, whom they selected as city clerk and manager of the public utili- ties. MT. Carter brought to his work A trained technical mind, and a quick grasp of his duties.
 Under the present administration, paving of the streets. sidewalks, addi- tional fire fighting equipment. and other improvements have been inaug- urated, tending to the development Of the town
 Due appreciation, however, should be expressed for the lcnS and exhaus- tive research into the advisability of purchasing the Gas and Electric plant, made by the former city. council, which resulted in the possession by the town of those two utilities, bought, too. at a time when materials were figured at a much lower cost than would be the case at present.
 One very present need of the city of Mesa Is more room for the handling of the towns business. A new city hall is imperative, and one is being consid- cred that will include fire station and sufficient room to fill the need that exists. The council is not con- sidering any great expenditure in. this direction. but believes that it will be absolutely necessary to make some pro- vision,

SANITARY SEWER
 SYSTEM MAKES FUR
 HEALTH IN MESA

FouF years ago the town of Mesa, seeing the need of better sanitation, voted bonds and installed a system for handling the sewage that thus far has been ample for the towns needs The business and residence section is con- nected up and the results have shown in a marked decrease of summer illness. In fact there is enc great peculiarity about the summer climate of the val- ley, viz, that while the heat is produc. tive of discomfort, the general health of the residents is splendid, and the winters show far greater amount of ailments of different sorts than the hotter months of the year.
 Naturally, where there is no method of sanitation and where town is not supplied with an efficient sewer sys- tenn, there is considerably more of fever and other varieties of sickness usually found in the summer. Mesa with it's pure water, its cleanly streets, it's absence of standing pools of water and it's up-to date sewer system. offers all the inducements for health and comfort found in any progressive town.

A NEW "LieHTEsr" METAL

From the Scientific American)
 A metal lighter than any yet known, and as strong as or stronger than steel, has for years been the dream of many, and every now and then rum ors are circulated to the effect that at last. it has been discovered. The advantages which such metal would have, especially for aircraft, are ob- vious. but unfortunately it generally found on investigation that there Is a "snag" somewhere.
 The latest report 10 be circulated re- lates to a new magnesium alloy, said to have been discovered by a metal company of Montreal, Canada. The new alloy, 1t is stated, is only two thirds the weight of aluminium and IS "as strong as steel" It is said to be especially suitable for pistons and connecting rods of aero and motor car engines. It is to be hoped that some of the qualities attributed 10 the new alloy may, on closer examination. he substantiated.

LIMITS EXTENSION
 MESA LATEST NEED

. The Mesa commercial club is making an effort toward having the corporate limits of the town of Mesa extended so as to take in the various additions surrounding and which are a. present receiving all the benefits O. water, gas and electricity, without being subject to city taxation. Mesa is but one mile square and has grown so rapidly with in the last few years that at least a thousand people live in immediate proximity to the town.
 While Mesa proper has a splendid sewerage system and while a consid erable number of homes in the various additions have cess pools as a pro- lection against unsanitary conditions yet the public is subject to all fly con tamination and other sources of in-

GAS AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLIED BY MESA
 CITY ID ITS CITIZENS

As purely business investment, the citizens of Mesa voted to authorize the city of Mesa to purchase the gas and electrical plant of the Southside Gas and Electric company This was done, the price paid being s11S,000. This was two years ago, since which time there have been several thousand dollars ex- pended in further improvements and necessary additions. At the time of the purchase it was recognized that addi- tional money would have to be spent to bring the plant up to the needs of the community, but like every other person in Mesa the council never considered that the town was to grow by leaps and bounds as it has done, the result being that the residents will be short of gas and electricity this winter un- less something is done
 However, the council has been in the job, and under the efficient direction of B. F. Carter, manager of public utilities, improvements to the amount of $115,000 are in contemplation and being arranged for. This work wiil go forward just as fast as material and labor can be secured for it, and when completed will be sufficient for the towns needs for some time to come, that is, if the wonderful little city ill just be considerate and not continue to spread itself as it is doing at present.
 Thus it is that with muuicipally owned water, gas and electricity, the town of Mesa is in condition to shape it's own destiny. to pay it's revenues into it's own pockets, to be handled ever by the citizens for their own best inter ests, thereby continuing to maintain it's well deserved reputation oe a Live town with a bunch of people and a shoulder to shoulder cooperation that is bucking every obstacle and bring ing the Gate City well to the front as great little place in which to live

THE BLACK BoREEN

(Nora Chessom in the Irish World,
 New York.) There's a lane beyant the village that they call the Black Boreen. There come the earliest cowslips, and grass is soonest green; And if you're there at noontide when shadows shortest fall, You'll maybe hear fairy voice out of the hedgerow call
 So they say! If you go a. twilight into the Black Boreen, Shut fast the lids upon your eyes lest fairy hands be seen Stretched from the hedge to hold you, to stop you as you pass, To draw you to their dancing upon the hungry grass
 Och, you may! If you should go by moonlight into the Black Boreen, You never will come out again as lightheart as you've been; You will have looked on beauty toe much fo- earth to bear Cch, I was in the Black Boreen and saw the fairies there--
 Yesterday. If one half of the world doesn't know how the other half lives, it can get the movie habit and find out.

PHILIP eIBs HAD sTAeEFRIeHT

(Philip Gibbs in HarrcT's Magazine)
 Part of the adventure of life in New York is the acquisition of unexpected knowledge by means of lectures: and Carnegie Hall is the mecca of lecturers. Having been one of the lecturers can speak from personal experience when 1 say that a man who stands for the first time on the naked desert of that platform, looking toward rows of white faces and white shirt fronts to the farthest limit of the topmost galleries. feels humility creep into his soul until he shrinks to the size of hop-o'-my- thumb, and is the smallest. loneliest thing in the whole wide world.
 A microbe is a monster to him, and he quakes with terror when he hears the first squeak of his tiny voice in the vast spaciousness under that high, vaulted roof. On that first night of mine l would have sold myself. with white shirt, cuff links and quaking body for two cents, if anyone had been fool enough to buy me and let me off that awful ordeal. And yet, looking back on it now, know that it was the finest hour of my life, and wonderful reward for small service, when all those people rose to greet me, and there came up to me out of that audi ence a spiritual friendship so warm and generous that I felt it like the touch of kindly hands about me, and recovered from my fright.
 Afterward. as always happens il America, there was a procession oi people who came onto the platform tC shake hands and say words of thanks so that one gets into actual touch witt all kinds of people. and their friend ship becomes personal. In that way made thousands of friends in Amer. ica, and feel toward them all a last. ing gratitdue because of the generous warm hearted, splendid things they said as they passed with a quici handclasp.

SCHOOL SYSTEM IF
 MESA UNEXCELLED
By H. E. Matthews, City Superin-
 tendent of Schools.

tendent of Schools.
 The Mesa grade schools occupy four buildings. Three of these, the Irving, Lincoln and Webster building are de- voted exclusively to the training of primary children. One building. the Franklin, is used entirely for the pu- pills from the fourth to the eighth grades inclusive. These buildings, equipment and grounds represent a present value of two hundred and fif- " thousand dollars.
 Thirty mine teachers are employed during the present school year in the operation of the schools. Sixteen are engaged in primary work, eleven in intermediate grade work and eight in the departmental work of the seventh and eighth grades. One domestic science teacher and one manual train ing teacher are employed. and the work in these subjects is given to the pu- pils from the fifth to the eighth grades inclusive. One supervisor of music gives full time to instruction in that subject. One supervisor devotes her time to the work in the primary grades This year supervisor for the work of the upper grades will be added ir order to make the work in this de- partment more efficient. Beginning last year a school nurse was employed and noticeable results in the care o1 the students health and the decrease of contagious diseases was directly traceable to the efforts of that de- partment. Special trained teachers are employed to give instruction tC the Mexican children in the primary grades. An attempt is made to Amer icanize these children as soon as pos sible and give them an opportunity to develop various types of handicraft work in which they are very skillful Directed playground work is organized on all the school grounds and efforts are made to see that the pupils se- cure the proper physical development by participating in natural outdoor games and exercises.
 Crowded Schools.
 The number of pupils of Mesa dis trict number four is increasing rapid. ly. According to the census compiled last year two thousand, one hundred and seventy children reside within thu district. Records of the graded schoo show that one thousand, three hundred and twenty were enrolled during tn, school year. This emphasizes the fac that the present buildings are entirel, inadequate to cope with the increas' in school population. This year prac tically every usable room will be filled to it's capacity. By reason of theil long period in of service two of tho buildings in their present condition will be no longer fit for use. afte this year. Plans must be made i'm mediately to house and care for thu increasing number of primary chil dren, and also to provide suitable quarters for the Kindergarten classes Present indication point to a larg' increase in school enrolment this year thus emphasizing the necessity O planning ahead in order to provid suitable accomodations for thos' whom the community values as it greatest investment, its children.
