Another Flood.

Rain again commenced falling on Thursday of last week and continued until Friday night. During Friday afternoon and night Chase creek came down with sufficient force to sweep away newly constructed DOT tions of the Coronado railroad, which was out of business until Tuesday. This caused the closing down of the Shannon plant for few days. The Shannon is provided with ore bin capacity sufficient to run the plant ten days, but the bins had not been fully restocked since the pre- vious flood.
 No particular damage was done to the town of Chase creek, except to the American Hotel and the school building, adobe structures which had been weakened by the previous flood. These buildings are owned by w. F. Hagan, who at once began the inn provement of the property.
 Rain or snow continued to fall with more or less regularity from Friday until Wednesday. On Tuesday there was heavy snow fall for this sec tion. It has about disappeared from the lower attitudes, but will remain in the mountains for some time.
 Jim Parks, who held the office ot sheriff of Graham county for three successive terms, is now pri- vate citizen, and in the future will devote his time to his ranch and cattle interests. When he went into office this section was over-run with rustlers and bands of outlaws, but they soon learned that it would be safer and more profitable for them to ply their vacations in some other sec tion, and for several years past they have given Graham county the go-by. MT. Parks is the kind of a man who always said to his deputies: ''Come on boys" He led in all hazardous enterprises, and his men followed. Jim Parks may have his faults, but as a sheriff he had few if any equals in Arizona. He is not a politician, but he is every inch a man, and of the kind who "do things at the right time. He did more for Gra- ham county that he ever got credit for. He took the office when the county was in bad way, and he re- tires from it with the satisfaction of knowing that both life and prop erty are comparatively safe.
