 Melon and strawberry crops have been damaged to some extent because of the late arrival of wet weather, but the damage will be far less than was anticipated, and many farmers will escape almost uninjured. The growth of alfalfa was retarded by the dry season. but nowhere have crops been lost or the plant killed for lack of moisture Farmers. will now attempt to get a good summer crop and where they fail to do that they will put their ranches in good condition for winter feed

DAYS FAITHFUL SEARCH
Mrs. McCarty Offers Reward for Body
 of Her Husband.

John McCarty. lost in the noun tans two months ago, is still missing, but friends are yet at work attempting to unravel the mystery of his dlsap- pearance. The Coconino Sun has this to say of the latest phases of the search:
 U. K. Day is in town from his search of John McCarty, who suddenly dis appeared from their hunting camp near Poverty Flats on June 6. Mir. Day was in Flagstaff after supplies when Me Carty left camp to hunt wild pigeons. and returned to camp two days later to find his comrades searching for Me Carty. who at that time was believed to have lost his way back to camp.
 Day has continued his search ever since. and has looked the sides and bottoms of ths canyons over in the vicinity of where McCarty disapps ared in a systematic manner He has found what he believes to be shell from McCarty's gun. and thi is the only trace of the missing man. The shell was found in another direction from the way McCarty told the men in camp he would go.
 Day has not given up hope of finding his missing companion. and will search every canyon in that vicin- ity. He is of the opinion that McCarty is dead. and that the body will be found in one of the numerous canyons breaking out from the rim, and this can only be done by searching each canyon in turn.
 At times there have been as many as one hundred men looking for the missing man. but they have one by one given up. and Mir. Day is now the only one left to continue the sad duty. Day is of the opinion that McCarty was injured or killed by the accidental discharge of his gun or had an sn- counter with a bear, which ended dis astrously to him.
 Mrs. John McCarty has offered a reward of $500 for the recovery of the body of her husband, and this offer 1t is believed will stimulate others be- sides Day to participate in the search. Howevsr this may be. Day will con tinue the search without hope of re- ward, other than the satisfaction that he has done his duty to a friend"

RIVER LOWERS SLOWLY
Bounteous Water Supply Practically
 Will Restore Summer Crops.

There was a slight fall in the Salt river yesterday. but was still pouring over the Arizona dam and quite volume escaped over the jolnt-head dam. going to waste. The volume now equals that of the freshet period which relisved the farmers last winter. and the valley is rapidly being irrigated. It is estimated that there were 75,000 ln
 ches of water in the river yesterday. and of that amount the Arizona canal was using 26,000 inches. The Highland and other canals which receive the surplus waters of the river were filled to their utmost capacity yesterday. The gratifying feature of existing cli
 matic conditions is the fact that heavy downpouis have occurred far into the the mountains and on the watersheds affecting this valley. It is fair to pre-
