GREATEST GAIN EVER
IN WATER STORAGE
OVER $1,000 ACRE FEET OF
WATER WAS CONSERVED
YESTERDAY.
Total Was 4os, 722 Acre Feet and the
Basin Not Yet One Third Full.

The way the Roosevelt reservoir
| behaved itself in the twenty-four
hours preceding yesterday morning
was something most spectacular. The
Republican patted il on the back and
announced that its work of the pre-
ceding day was jolly well worth while.
| that il would make a still finer show
ing yesterday morning and that by
the time Theodore Roosevelt came To
dedicate the dam the reservoir would
probably be gloating in 100000 acre
feet of stored water.
But joy To tell. when the gage
reader opened his eyes yesterday
morning the elevation mark read
1880 feet indicating that already the
supply of water in storage aggre-
gated 409.722 acre feet, an increase of
SS,l94 acre feet i'm the preceding
twenty four hours, or considerably
more than a third as much stored
water as-the valley used all last sum-
mer. The stream at the Salt river
intake was still undiminished. and it
is possible that there will be just as
big a gain again this morning. though
il is thought the flow would hardly
keep up all day yesterday. II is
pretty safe guess. however that at
least $4,000 acre feet will be added
by this morning. making practically
10000, which is nearly twice as
much water as the valley had for use
last summer.
That is an awful lot of water. but
for the benefit of those who still
have an inadequate conception of the
bigness Of the reservoir it is stated
that even with that showing this
morning. the basin will only be one
third full. 1t is no wonder the Mexi-
cans call it the big tapoon," and all
Arizona can back its performance of
yesterday as the biggest reservoir
stunt vet.
The rivers were also pleasantly dis
appointing. The Verde continued to
send down a gorgeous flood and there
was nothing doing in the Salt yester-
day. for anything or anybody except
the fish
Section Director Jesunofsky rather
flattered himself that he had control
of the rivers. but he found them
little hard to manage YESTERDAY The
day before he had announced at 10
a. m. that the gage at Tempe showed
feet, but that there would be rapid
falling in the next twenty-fou hours.
The pesky old gage stayed right still
at feet until 10 o'clock yesterday
morning and rather made the weather
man blush. but out of respect for
him il began falling a little soon
after.
The ella river was even less con-
siderate. The gage on the Florence
bridge on Monday showed feet. and
the weather man confidently limited
at a decline. Yesterday at 10 o'clock
it had risen to As feet. just to show
that ii could, and then it began fall
ing. according to his bulletin of yes
terday
Nothing late was learned yesterday
from the work of repairing the breaks
on the Arizona canal. but big force
of men was put to work the day be-
fore. and it is likely everything is all
right again by this time. or will be
very soon

can return to their firesides. There
has been little damage in the resi-
dence section of the city. but down
town the water is from four to six
feet deep. The damage to merchants
