CAVE CREEK PLAYS
 ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT
Encouraged by Yesterdays Rain 1t Gave Matinee Performance on the Arizona Canal.

The Salt river valley irrigation dis trict yesterday enjoyed the finest kind of a rain. It seems to have been a weather stunt gotten up entirely for the benefit of this section and the hills to the north, and from the phe- nomena that developed along the Ari- zQna canal it is conceived that the precipitation was heavier up Cave Creek way than 1t was here In the valley.
 The rain began here in Phoenix be- tween and in the morning and continued intermittently until about l pm. Some of the showers were very hard and some were mere drizzlers but there was sufficient to soak up the streets. bring out the rubbers and um- brellas and puddle the low places with duck ponds. It rained quite heavily as far east as Granite Reef but proba bly, not much beyond that point Roose- welt was dry as a bone. From the west it is reported that the rain reach ed as far as the Agua F'ria but was not heavy as at that point.
 Along about midday a veritable flood came rolling down Paradise val ley and into the Arizona canal above Scottsdale, but no damage was done as the waste gates at Indian Bend. constructed for just such emergency, let the surplus water through and say ed the canal banks.
 A similar though probably a much larger flood. came down the Cave Creek wash and little needing the dyke constructed to turn it, rolled into the tance of about two miles Between laterals 12l2 and Is the water washed some twenty to twenty-two holes through the south bank of the canal and let the flood over the lands below The facts were reported to Engineer Reed of the reclamation service and he immediately set about discovering the material facts and arranging for the repair of the damage

Reed said last night that the water was still running through from Cave Creek to some extent and it was hard to get over the ground and find out just exactly what the situation is. for it is so soft 1t will mire down a mans shadow to say nothing of his top boots. A force of men will be put to work early this morning. however. and it is believed that the repairs can be made in a couple of days So far as could be learned most of the breaks are small ones. though a few of them are of considerable size.
