of thousands of dollars worth of good
 the rains have done, or the thousands of dollars worth of damage or cost that might have followed the coming of the flood a couple of months earlier.
 The first big volume of water that came down the Salt either yesterday morning or doing the preceding night. tore a hole in the Arizona dam, the size of which cannot be determined until the water recedes Ii is estimated at from 90 to 150 feet long, but if the whole dam goes the farmers will still be making money as the result of the rain for with the government force or ganized and ready to replace it, the ex- pense will not be embarrassing. It was at first reported that the Verde water broke the dam but it was learned later that until late yesterday the Verde had not risen until after the Salt flood had begun to pass it's mouth.
 Yesterday morning there was a flow of 60,OO0 second feet at Roosevelt and the river kept rising until at 11:30 it measured 79,00O second feet at which stage it remained for three or four hours. By 4:3O yesterday afternoon it had fallen four feet as shown by the river gauge and it was assumed the crest of the flood had passed. About that time however it was reported that it was rising again at the intake twenty miles above and the water was then six feet over the intake dam. B. : p. m. however there had been little change at Roosevelt and if was believ- ed the little flood at the intake had flattened out and would scarcely make itself felt.
 The suddenness of the rise at Roose- welt was due to the fact that the ma sorry of the dam had already ob- the flow of the river until

there was quite a lake on hand and all the water that comes down was extra and piled up fast. This also makes the
 normal water level above the dam 1 higher than before so that when the flood arrived the suspension footbridge across the channel was submerged and swept away.
 Comparing this flood with the big one two years ago however it was not much over half as large as the record then was in the neighborhood of 150, 900 second feet. And that it is believed was almost as large a volume as the river carried in the memorable flood of 1891. It's effect on the valley was not so destructive though as the former flood for the reason that the big levee east of town kept the water in the river bed which had also been pre- viOusly secured out, as it is now, so
 it would accommodate a larger flow than in 1891.
 At 4:30 yesterday afternoon the gauge at Richins' station showed 16 feet in the Salt, which was 13 feet higher than the night before. At the same time the Verde showed 1-2 feet and had been stationary for some time.
 Up to last night there had been no serious damage reported in the valley, though there was some trepidation as to what might happen at the joint head and the ditch gang was transferred to that point to be on guard during the night in the event the levee or the canal bank needed strengthening. Har- ry Hancock who has charge of the zanjero force put all the regular men and an extra one to work and the most good possible is being derived from the flood in an irrigating way. The lower canals have all the water the farmers can use and all the laterals are full i'll

much of a good thing in fact but the eXuberance is accepted without protest for Salt river always was cratic and it could not be expected that it would be brought finally and fully under con- trol in one turn of the rope, even by so resourceful an institution as the re- clamation service. This little spree will cost the government and in the last analysis the farmers a few hundred dollars for repairing the Arizona canal temporary dam, replacing a small amount of machinery that was caught at Granite Reef and the patching up Of a canal bank here and there, but that is nothing compared to the hundreds

divisions 1 and under the Arizona. In divisions 3 and where the laterals are larger and longer every other one is full and the big canal is carrying about 20,000 inches.
 There was a suspicion last night that Cave Creek had been playing more funny tricks with the canal bank as it did not appear that enough water was getting to the west end. However any break that might have occurred evil dently is not large and had not been reported yet
 At Granite Reef it is understood there was nb material damage done other than the stopping of the work except the catching of very little light machinery that was not removed from the bed in time.

OWLS MULTIPLY

Spokane Brotherhood Owls made
a killing last night when they put
the made in Spokane feathers
on 1873 new ones. This brings the
local lodge membership up to 425
and boosts the order generally all
round. The big class was handled
by B. o. Pyles and his team with

vised the operation. Lunch, cigars
and a social session followed, Mr.
Gleason being the principal
speaker.
With this start the brotherhood
now intends to turn out 1856 more

weeks hence. Reports were re-

MASTER BARRIERS

The master BARRIERS organized a
local association last night at a
meeting in Koch's shop with 3S on
the roll. F. l.. Fuqua was elected
temporary chairman and G. Walter
Kirby secretary. Bert Durant, Carl
Koch, Frank Vinson, Vic Patrick
and Gus Adler were appointed a
committee on constitution and by
laws. The organization will be
made permanent on the report of
the committee Wednesday evening
at meeting to be held in the u.

The master BARRIERS say their as
sociation is one of mutual benefit
and that no changes are contem-
plated in prices or conditions. The
question of closing the shops at 7
p. m. is one that will probably
come up for discussion when the
association gets under way.

HALSEY, Ore, Aug. 27.-Rivals
for girls affections, Charley In
gren and Harry Leeper, both barely
out of their teens, fought a duel
with pitchforks in a harvest field
near here while the crew looked
on, afraid for a time to interfere.
lngren knocked Leeper's fork out
of his hands and then drove his
own fork three times into the boys
chest, holding their companions at
hay in the meantime.
Finally, with Leeper writing
and bleeding under the thrusts,
one of the harvest hands made a
rush and forced Ingren to desist
in his murderous purpose. He was
arrested. Leeper is in danger of
blood poisoning.
