ciated that the break might come at
some time when there was the great
est urgency for irrigation water. when
the lack of it might cause the loss of
thousands of dollars worth of crops.
and he believed that a few hundred
dollars spent in prevention or in pre-
pairing for an emergency might save
a great deal of money later. II is
understood these orders were executed.
so there is now a large tonnage of
rock available. ready for the moving.
The cable, track machinery and all
other equipment is on the ground ready
for use and by this time is probably in
use. 1t is expected the dam will be
repaired by Sunday or Mondayand wa
ter turned into the canal again. Three
shifts of men will be used and the work
will be rushed day and night.
In the meantime there will be no
suffering in consequence. the only eff
feet being the expense of repairing the
canal. AS soon as the news was re-
ceived here Commissioner Trott order
ed the cresscut gate closed so what
water there was in the Arizona would
be saved for the farmers under that
ditch. The brush dam at The joint
head is now repaired and the lower
canals can get a good supply from
that source The lands under the Arr
IONA have been pretty thoroughly
soaked Throughout this season there
is always some demand for water IN
one quarter or another. but the lack
of it for a few days will not do a great
deal of harm. The grain and hay men
are now busy with their cutting and
most of the fruit men have had all the
water they want for the time being,
some even having refusedNt and asked
that their gates be closed. 1t is con-
fidently expected there will be a good
supply again next week.

SIXTY FOOT HOLE
m Tilt ARIZONA DAM
its Hepsir Has Already Begun and il
is Expected Water for Irrigation Will
BE Available Again Early Next Week

News was received here yesterday
morning that the new rock dam at
the head of the extension to the Ari-
zena canal suffered a considerable
break during the night before, as ii
had given away at point in the deep
est part of the river channel and by
yesterday morning the water was run
ming through a chasm about so feet
wide. Naturally there was little, if
any. water being diverted into the ca
nal. though irrigation continued yes
terday with the water already in the
big ditch.
Foreman Moss. who was in
charge of gang of men employed by
the government TO excavate the sand
that had settled around the old dredger
below the canal head. was at once in
structed 10 take his men ana repair
the damage to the dam. This dam
age. while quite serious at first sight,
will perhaps be good thing in the
end. The channel was quite deep at
that point and in the original construc-
ton a vast quantity of rock had to be
piled into it before foundation was
secured in the sand. That was finally
accomplished and the dam was COM
pleted. II always leaked a little there,
but it was thought the weight of rock
would gradually settle it and adjust
it. and if necessary. more rock could
be added TO the top of it, There was
considerable surprise yesterday when
it was found the structure had given
way, without the added pressure of a
flood. However, the rock was merely
rolled along few feet and scattered
out, so that il really leaves wider
and better foundation TO build upon
than was had before. and it will be
only a matter of a few days to dump
in enough more rock to fill the gap.
When this is done the dam ought to
, be a great deal stronger and better
than before.
The wisdom of a precaution taken
by Engineer Hill as soon as the canal
was turned over TO the government and
before the men at work in the COM
pletion of the dam had left the vicinity
is now apparent Though he believed
tho dam would hold against the river
in its present stage he fully expected
some damage to be done in the event
Of high water. He therefore ordered
that while the working crew was there
ard organized IL should quarry guam
tity of rock and drill a lot of holes for
blasting more. against just such con-
tingency as has now arisen. He appre-

 The afternoon session closed with discussions by the fire workers on for est fire problems, and their solution.
 The evening session began at o'clock. Governor R. s. Woodruff was introduced by President Graves of the convention. He said he was much in terested in forestry. He thought it a good business proposition, and one that the farmers would readily adopt. He favored the purchase of a fifty or 100 acre tract in each town for preserve, where the benefits of scientific forestry could be seen by the farmers.
 President A. T. Hadley of Yale in ad- dressing the foresters said that he was glad to see the rise pf the profession of forestry in this country, and was es- pecially gratifed that Yale was lead CT in the movement. He said that the greatest and best thing about forestry was that it had more in store for the future than for the lresent. He de> clared that the foundation of our na- tional prosperity depended on the pre- servation of the forests.
 Professor Henry S. Graves next read a paper on "A Forest Policy for New England" He said that the states could help along forestry in two ways, first by buying reserves, and secondly by teaching systematic forestry to the farmers.

 Prof. Phelps said that most Ameri- can reference books class Mark Twain ss a numorlst, while the English ones term him a novelist and lecturer. If he is regarded as novelist it is more than possible that he ranks as the greatest of living American novelists, not excluding Howells and James. He is a most thoroughly typical American than Walt Whitman and stands with Whittier and Bret Harte.
