THE DAMAGE DONE
 AT ARIZONA HEAD
The Break This Time Occurred at a New Spot.

Salt river, though raging opposite Phoenix Tuesday night, began falling at the head of the Arizona and yes terday was down within reasonable size. only a foot or so of water run ming over the old dam. It was report ed that the breaks in the canal were not quite so large as those made by the last flood, two or three weeks ago. though the flood itself seemed a little greater at it's highest point. The break for the outlet of the water in the canal, or the lower break, is believ ed to have been not exactly at the point | of the former break, though near to it. ! It is said that the last job of repairing held the water very securely this time. forcing it to seek a weaker spot. Owing to the high water it was found that so large a force or men could not be worked to advantage for a few days and as a lot of them wanted to come to town anyway, about twenty five or thirty were discharged and came to town yesterday, being paid of at the Arizona Water company's office. Most of them will probably return to work in few days, or as soon as they are needed.
 Yesterday the directors of the Ari- zona Canal Water Users association. Qncorporated) held a meeting to per feet it's office and business organiza- tion. The board of trade room will hereafter be made headquarters anl ' Secretary Van der Veer of the board of trade has been appointed assistant to secretary Ralph Murphy of the Wa ter Users association and Treasurer Bunch of the same association, both or whom live in the country Mir Van der Veer therefore will have charge of the pf or.ear1
 those having business with the asso- | ciation can call upon him as the office representative.
 MT. Van der Veer will in few days be ready to issue stock oftthe corpora . ) ton in exchange for the receipts of those who have already paid for their | stock and it is desired that as soon as
 possible this exchange be made that
 the association can get itself on a gooG
 business basis. It should also be espe-
 cially borne in mind that MT. Van der , Veer is ready to issue receipts or stock
 to all new subscribers who will come
 in and sign their lands, for money Is
 the one thing needful just now. It may
 be said that water for the farmers is in sight; that is if there are no more
 flood disturbances it is expected water , will be turned into the extension in two
 or three weeks. Had it not been for
 the two recent floods the work would . have been well toward completion now
 But the two short water runs have
 given the farmers stock water and the
 rains have materially helped theil D crops, so they can the more patiently
 wait for results. Still they need wa
 ter badly and can only get it by go-
 Ing after it, all of which costs money , Those who have not yet subscribed arc = urged to lose no time in coming uI
 with the amount of their acreage anC
 helping the good work along. The biz
 half is done and surely there should
 be many who arc willing to help or " the downhill pull.
 The directors decided yesterday {. continue the work on the extension Y. with all possible speed. A number Q
 additional teams can now be used t' 7 good advantage and those farmers wn'
 have no money to advance and mo wa
 ter to farm with just now. are not oil ly invited but urged to send thei 'i teams to the head to assist in the cana V excavation. They will be given credi " for their work the same as though cas, > were turned over. It is believed thi II will enable many to participate in tn IL enterprise who cannot raise the none
 to pay for water. Superintendent (
 NJ Etter is in town now and will gc ;t as many of the farmers as possible t ,f send teams up to the head.
