So far as could be learned last night the situation at the Arizona canal head was in no war discourag ging There is undoubtedly something going on but results will not be known until the water goes down. At latest advices yesterday there was supposed to be ap- .prUXimately a million and Q quarter inches Of water passing the Arizona head in a body. as against the opinion 0f Contractor Collins. given later iE this article. that a fifth of that volume would be the danger point MT. Col lins. who went up there Sunday night. telsphoned that there had been some changes in the channel but seemingly Of a favorable nature and that the rock dam appeared to be intact. except for the loose stone on the top. That was most fratifying news and though worse conditions may be revealed whe the water recedes there is no use DOT rowing trouble. It is certain that the Extension will need some repairing but there is a well founded hope that the flood will leave the ditch in such condition that the repairs necessary will almost guarantee it against aiI. future important trouble.
 As far as known the water is doing just as the canal management has planned for it to do or expected 1t U do in the event of a flood. It will be remembered by those interested that just above the Rock cut in the Exten- sion. controlling gates were placed. Just above that point, on the river side of the ditch, are two little rock buttes perhaps twenty feet high. Be- tween them is a channel through which the water ran even in small floods. a couple of years ago. be- fore the building of the Extension and when the main channel of the river was on this side When the floods came that did the damage necessitat- ing the building of the Extension the channel shifted to the other side of the bed leaving a large acreage of bare sand and gravel on this side. Through it for a distance of a couple of thous- iz1 feet above the two little rock f.r-tes. the Extension was built up the liver. then across to the channel on the other side where the sand heading was made and just below which the big rock dam was thrown across the stream. The theory of all this was that the dam would divert ample water as long ss the present topogra- phy remained but that in the event of a big food it would force such a vol Ume this way that the channel would

THE RESIGNATION
 OF MIR. CR0NENBtRGfR
On Account of the III Health of His Wife He is Compelled to Seek An other Field.

The announcement has been received with surprise and regret of the resig- nation of Elder John Cronenberger of the Church of Christ. The cause of the resignation is the state of health of Mrs. Cronenberger. who has been an invalid for the last nine years. In that time she has submitted to two dangerous operations, without which she could not have lived. Her vitality Is very low and it is feared that she could not stand the heat of another summer. MT. Cronenberger will go to Santa Barbara, Cal, where he will re- ceive a slight increase of salary, but not more than the local church would have paid him if he could have remain ed.
 Mir. Cronenberger began his work as minister of the church here on Novem- Der l of last year, so that when his time expires on January l he will have served fourteen months. In that time there have been 112 additions to the church whose total membership Is now PAS. The congregation has raised for all purposes during the year, 5000. The church is now free from debt in all it's departments and has money in the treasury.
 On the organization of the city Sun- day School union, MT. Cronenberger was made it's chairman and he direct cd the recent Sunday school canvass. He has also acted as secretary of the territorial Sunday school executive committee. The relations between him and the members of the church as well as of the public at large has been very pleasant and there has been complete cooperation in the work which had been accomplished.

FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.IN VAUDEVILLE.
Give Pleasing Home Talent Entertainment

Friday evening, at the vaudeville en-
tertainment given by the Fortnightly

which L. F. Button, Misses Jennie
Shea, Margaret Hitler, Marjorie Vance.
Cora Reed, Sadie Montgomery, Cecil
Thomas and Ruth Siihring appeared
to advantage, each one showing
peculiar adaptability to his or her
part. During this scene Miss Ethel
Baker sang a charming solo, and at its
close Miss Hazel McClaskey sang very
acceptably. A male quartette, Messrs
Hill, Hopperstad, Tracy and Adams,
also sang a pleasing selection.
The one-act drama "Norah." by
Miss Macha Vance, Messrs. w. c..
Adams and S. Clay Stearns was one
of the best numbers on the program
1t had pathetic theme and the char
acters were so correctly portrayed that
the audience felt that they were being
entertained by experienced actors.
After delightful vocal solo by Miss
Dottie Bear, there was pleasing
spectacular drill by twenty-four young
ladies, and then Miss Sadie Montgo.
merry sang very pretty solo. which
was followed by a May Pole Dance
by number of little girls, during
which scene George Baker appeared
on the stage with his burro and made
him do a number of tricks, which
fairly brought down the house. Miss
Grace Haas then gave a pretty skirt
dance, and the performance closed
with a pleasing farce, Wanted, 1000
Milliners for the Gold Diggings, in
which Messrs. W. G. Adams, L. F.
Button, E. ]. Riley, Misses Ruth
Montgomery, Cecil Thomas, Grace
Haas, Ruby Ward, Cora Reed, Grace
Baker and Mabel Auchmoody took
part. all acquitting themselves credi-
tably.
The entire program gave the best of
satisfaction, and was repeated by re-
quest on Saturday afternoon, when a
fair sized audience saw it, notwith.
standing the inclement weather.
