The first of about eight cars of cement needed to com plete the last half mile of the Tempe Mesa link of the- state highway was shipped from the plant at Kl Paso on Tuesday, according to information which reached the office of O. C. Mc Klrath, the contractor, here yesterday, and the remainder of the required ce ment will follow within a few days. It means that after a delay of neatly a month work on the final half-mile be yond the plant of the Pacific Cream cry, a mile east of Tempe. will le commenced again and that it will be finished within a week's time and open to traffic two weeks later. The contractors expect the first car of cement in by the fifth of July and the rest to follow as quickly as reeded. In that case the job will be entirely completed by the 12th or 13th of July, it was said, and the entire cement road from Mesa to Tempe will be opened to traffic by the 23th of the month. The cement mixer now stands where the last bit of cement was used several weeks ago, on the highway by the Pacific Creamery plant. A fraction less tha.n half a mile remains to be poured to complete the stretch. Crushed rock has been hauled for a greater part of this, so no delay in completing the job is anticipated after the first car of ce ment arrives the fore part of next week.

Fate throws him into the attention of the million aire steel operator, and the friendship thus formed results in bis being taken into the family of the mill's owner, to rapidly rise in an executive capacity.

It is a role in which Mary Miles Minter excels after the style of Judy in "Judy of Rogues' Harbor" and with all the charm of her well-remembered Ann in the "Ann of Green Gables" pic ture recently shown to Phoenix au diences. The Christie comedy is the added attraction. Forest Park Every hour will be a glorious golden one for those who take part in the three big days ot celebration at Forest Park, July 3, 4 and 5.
