Hospital Committee Meet ;

The finance and reference commit tee of the Southside community hos pital met at the Commercial club rooms last night for the purpose of considering plans for the hospital building. Royal W. Lescher, the Phoe- nix architect, was present, and pre- sented the committee with a drawing showing proposed additions to the present South Side hospital building which is to be taken over by the Com munity hospital. MT. Lescner had been asked to come to Mesa for the purpose of consulting with the committee, and to bring with him tentative drawings for the improvements contemplated. The drawings placed before the com mittee show the addition of second story to the present structure, with d one-story wing added to it's south side. In the rear of the present building, a two-story addition is to be constructed, the result being a large, commodious structure capable of caring for the hospital needs eff this city for some time to come.
 After carefully examining the draw ings, the committee instructed MT. Leseher to proceed with the prepara- ton of the plans and specifications for the edifice, and to present them to the committee as soon as possible. In the meantime, the committee is holding

JUDGMENT IF S135
 SETTLES LAW SUIT

Expenditure by the plaintiff of s1S5 for cotton seed was the amount the jury found for the plaintiff in the S9OOO action for damage brought by E. P. Satterfield against D. D. Horning whom he charged with failure to de- liver water to his lands.
 The jury returned this verdict after the instructions were twice read, and in accordance with an instruction given by Judge Lyman, who said:
 You are instructed that even if you should find from a preponderance of the evidence in this case, gentlemen, that the plaintiff is entitled to recover damages from the defendant, the only evidence upon which you can find the amount of such damage is the expendi- ture by the plaintiff of S1S5 for cotton seed.'
 Satterfield claimed that he had an agreement with Horning whereby the latter was to furnish him with the 16O acres he leased in the Buckeye valley. That he was unable to cultivate his lands for lack of water and was a heavy loser. according to the allega- tions of Satterfield, who charged Horning with failure to carry out his agreement.
 Horning brought a counter claim for s2300 claiming that Satterfield violated the agreement by abandoning the lands.

INCREASE THE VALUE OF FARMS

In Lee County, Va, farmer owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and Jones' vile, which he offered to sell for $1 300. In 1903 this road was improved, and although the farmer fought the i'm provement he has since refused S3,000 for his farm. Along this same road tract of 188 acres was supposed to have been sold for $6,0o0. The purchaser re- fused the contract, however, and the owner threatened to sue him. After the road improvement, and without any improvements upon the land, the same farm was sold to the original purchaser for $9,OOo.

WASTE OF BAD ROADS

There is no question that poor road surfaces cause an economic waste, of which the total in this county IS start ling. In 1906 the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture de duced an average cost per ton- mile of 22.7 cents, based upon replies from in quiries sent to about 2,800 county cor respondents. The average haul re- ported was 9.4 miles. Since, at this time. less than per cent of the roads in this county were improved, these figures indicate the average cost of hauling on unimproved roads.

labor keeps the mails fairly well
filled, under frank, with interminable
discussions Of the subject of prices,
the readjustment of prices, reasons
why prices can't be or will be read
jgsted, ct cetera, ad infinitum.
There have been several months OF
prolonged and continuous discussion
in high official quarters OF the inter
esting subject of prices. Bales OF
government literature have been dis.
seminated going into the matter in all
ito voIuminous qualifications, debating
ii and Analysing 1t up one side and
down the other.
This propaganda has been explo-
siVely puhctuated from time to time
with elactrifging announcements from
various sources that
The price Of bread Will not come
down
The price Of meat win stay up and
60 higher.
The price Of building materials is
likely to increase instead Of decrease
Prices for clothing are expected to
increase.
There will be no reduction in the
cost OF automobiles.
Et cetera, ad nauseam.
All Of which indicates that the gov
eminent might as we'll save its ink,

The public isn't interested in the
metaphysical side of the high cost OF
living. Brain gymnastics and arriving

help fill the pot. There is only one
single thing regarding prices In which
the public Is interested and that is a

Suffrage Lacks
Still One Vote
In US. Senate

The woman suffrage amendment
atil1 lacks h vote ia the United
Estates senate.
This statement was made today by
Alice Paul, chairman OF the national
Wpman's party, who declared:
THE amendment is again threaten
LED with defeat unless the leaders OF
the republican party, which will be In
power in the new congress, secure an
other vote, or President Wilson gains
the support Of an additional democrat.
IN spite Of repeated statements by the
Republican leaders that the amend
ment will pass as soon as congress
convenes, ~suffragists can not rest con-
tent while one Of the necessary two,
thirds votes is still unpledged.
THE failure of Senators Dial Of
South Carolina, Keyes of Newhamp-
shire, Harris of Georgia and Harrison
of Mississippi definitely to declare
their positions, involves the situation
in uncertainty"
Ninety-two senators have announced
their suffrage stand; SO are for and
% against. OF the four uncertain mem
hers three are democrats and one a
Republican. OF those pledged, 80 are
republicans and 25 democrats. or
those against there are 10 republicans
and 10 democrats. The proportion of
Republican and democrats In support
Of the amendment therefore stands rs
Iper cent republicans aud 50 per cent
democrats. A change in favor OF re-
publicans since the last congress,
when the proportion was 75 per cent
republicans to 81 per cent democrats.
According to the present poll 25.
states will vote splidly for suffrage
With the one exception Of Senator
|Borah, the entire west is lined up for
the amendment. In the middle west,
the only votes not In favor are those
OF Senator Reed OF Missouri. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska and Senator
|Pomerene Of Ohio. The state legisla-
lures requested Senators Hitchcock
and Pomerene to vote for the amend.
|ment. Opposition to the amendment IS
now concentrated along the Atlantic
seabord, having been pushed steadily
eastward since in 1859 Wyoming en-.
franchised its women.
No new senators have declared
themselves against the amendment
Nine new senators have declared their
support OF the amendment. Four new
senators have not stated their posi-
ton. Every new republican senator
but the one, Senator Reyes Of New
Hampshire, who is non-committal, has
declared himself for the amendment.
Every new democratic senator hut the
three who are nonscommittal, have dc.
elared themselves for the amendment
The great increase in the number Of
states having presidential suffrage is
"a sure indication Of the growth ~
sentiment for political freedom for
women. Seven states within the last
year have given women the right 70
vote for president Wisconsin,, In
