Sierra Ancha mountains at the saw min site offer a delightful retreat for Salt River valley people.
 Two intrepid hunters Of the Ro9se- welt force have just returned from ten days cruise over the mountains in search of game and recreation From their lack of trophies their first intention was nos great success and from their for.orn and bearded ap- peaTauce f would seem that the.r search for recreation was a total fail ure. The hunters were Al William son and Frank Huffer They took plenty of eatables along in case they did not see any hobbled deer or broG
 winged turkeys, and report that though they didn't have q chance to rest much or to shoot much game they had a lovely time. They crossed the high mesas and spent most of their tim lT' the Sierra Anch2s.
 Early Sunday morning there was a heavy rain northwest of Roosevelt which must have been in the nature of a cIoudburst for about nine o'clock over three feet Of water came down Tonto creek with a solid front and the
 little creek was bank full all day, try ing, it would seem, to rival the Salt
 pr. Palmer and family returned from Iron Springs the first of last week. Mrs. Palmer and the little girl have been summerins at that popular resort and the doctor went up couple of weeks ago to bring them home Mrs. Falmcr's sister, Miss Bess Pencil. of Ohio. came with them and will make her home in Roosevelt during the coming winter.
 D. Nicholson, the Phoenix tailor was in Roosevelt last week doing little business and Incidentally taking in the scenery of the Mesa Roosevelt road and the country surrounding the dam. He was greatly pleased wi-h what he saw and thinks that more people should make the trip that they might realize the magnitude Of the work that the government engineers are doing here.
 Sunday was a day of excitement for several of the office boys. Messrs Miller. Hendrix, HoUgh. Van Sant and Roche about nine o'clock started for walk across the river and after reach ing the top Of the first range Miller and Hough decided to come back but Hendrix. Van Sant and Roche wanted to go to the top of the next range. The , two boys who started back reached camp about noon and nobody thought anything of tae absence Of the other
  made for therl and it was found that ! JEey hadn't been seen in Roosevelt all day. A search party was organized, 1 lunch was put up, guns and armor l were buclled ol. a ctray bottle half full Of whisky was found, moody knows where and the party started of. Just as they reached tho river they met Hendrix. who was returning for a relief party and a couple or ! ho-seE to aid in getting the other two boys across the river. It seems that when they started to climb the last range on the return home. Ven S3nt was taken ill and could climb no far i ther. consequently they turned toward the river. which they expected to be ! able to ford, and come home by a river road on this side. A mountain
 which it was impossible for Van Saut to climb was between them and the foo,bridga. hence the only thing they could do was to go 70 the river and ford il and come home that way but ] when they relched the river they found that it was up SO that it tool, a good swimmer to cross t. By that
