 ARIZONA DAM-W. B. Cleary. who TI,- 1~a~y, Tuesday night. was seen yesterday concerning the progress of the work of repairing the dam and canal. He says the piles were expected to begin arriving there last evening, in which event the pile driver will begin work today. There is still a big river flow ing. the break in the dam being 190 feet wide and the water in the deepest place being ten feet deep. Some of the cribbing in the breach is still standing. MT. Cleary says the repairs will be done in a substantial manner so fa< as the framework is concerned, so that the dam will be able to with stand any summer floods that may fol- low before it's final completion at the crest, but there will be in connection some temporary work designed to get water into the canal as soon as pos sfbIe and before the final structure is finished. The greatest handicap is the lack of teams, and MT. Cleary says he would like to give publicity to this fact. that all farmers who can do so may help things along by hiring their teams to the company. If they could get more teams they could push re- pair work much faster. The canal is being cleaned as fast as possible and he hopes to get little water into it inside of three weeks. He will return tc the dam site today.
