when there is deep snow on the Su- perstition mountains the Bradshaws and the Four Peaks, all at the same time, that means much water. All those mountains are now covered bv deep snow.
 It has been believed by many that since the construction of the Roose- welt dam there can be no great flood in the Salt River but old timers call attention to the fact that only once since the whites have settled here have both the Salt and Verde rivers been in high flood at the same time and there have been high waters m the Salt below it's junction wI.h 1I.e Verde which contributed all of Tho water to the flood
 It is pretty generally believed that the reservoir will be filled by the melting snOWs this spring and those who have lived here for a long time think they see signs of anothe,, wet season similar to that of 1891

STREET WORK
 STOPS CLEANUP
Commissioner Griggs Carr of Street Department
 Will Resume City Lots Cleaning Campaign as Soon as Levcling is Done

owing to the recent heavy rains, the streets not paved have been placed in a rough condition, and in order that this condition may be re- moved Street Commissioner Carr has taken his force of men and teams which have been engaged in the city cleanup movement for several weeks and plat ed them at work dragging the road surface This work it is expected will occupy at least one week, but when completed will re- suit in the removal of numerous ruts and rough places.
 On Van Buren street, between 1th and 14th streets there has long eX- isted a depression which held water and resulted in that portion Of the street remaining muddy for long time after each rain. Commissioner Carr is just now engaged in filling this depression and when the new surface has been properly rolled and
 tramped it will be one of the best stretches of unpaved street in the
 city
 Because Commissioner Carr has been obliged to take his men and teams from the city cleanup work, does not mean that this work has been abandoned It means only that it is temporarily delayed, The en- tire force will be returned to it's work within a few days and will continue until every section of the city has been visited
 In this connection MT. Carr requests that all residents Of the city north of Van Buren street, east and west and in Neahrs addition proceed to clean up their lots and place the re fuse and debris in the alleys or streets and notify his department when the work is completed in order l move the accumulation.
 In the two or three weeks that | the work of cleaning up the residence ] properties and vacant lots has beer l iI. progress the entire old portion ol 1 the city between Seventh and Seventh i avenue and Van Buren and Jackson streets has been pretty thoroughly gone over and today presents bet | ter and more cleanly appearance thar before in years
 The north side of town now re
 mains to undergo the same cleaning up and Commissioner Carr urges al to take advantage of the opportunity to have dirt and debris removed witt no cost to the individual. He IS fo l a better and cleaner Phoenix and il this asks the cooperation of the pub
 lie.

RUMOR UPSETS
 ROOSEVELT DAM
A Fast Spreading Thought let Has Half People of Phoenix on Qui Vive to Hear News of Trouble at Roosevelt

Hello, this you Roosevelt? Yes? Raising there?. Yes? Very well, then shut the gates"
 The voice was that of Engineer Howard $. Reed and he was speaking over the long distance line to the Roosevelt Dam.
 Strangely enough, those innocent words overheard by one whose sense of the exciting was greater than his reasoning powers caused a small sig ed furorc in town here Saturday, the day the above quoted message was given.
 That some one overheard MT Reeds order to the gate man at the dam to close the gate, an action that is customary whenever it rains enough to make use of the stored water needless and that someone got what is known as a bug in his or her ear and spread him on herself on a vague rumor that there was trouble at Roosevelt which nccessi- tated the instant of emergency or ders from the local office of the project all that is the surmisc of Reed, Fitch, members of the staff of the Water Users association and others whose business and later slumbers were disturbed by frantic phone calls for information.
 MT F'itch's residence? Well. MT Fitch, tell me what is wrong at Roosevelt2"
 Hello is this the project engineer? This is the Evening Blank Can you tell me what is the trouble at the dam? No?

On the way to Egypt F. Doubleday Page described, on the Adriatic, the doubtful pleasure of camel riding.

Coal at South Pole

London, Dec. 22-Probably the most
interesting of the Scott Antarctic ex-
pedition specimens, which have just
been placed in the Natural History
Museum at South Kensington, are the
few pieces of coal found by Captain
Scott's party in latitude 85 degrees, in
the middle of the frozen plateau that
stretches from King Edwards Land
way beyond the South Pole.
The coal was found by Commander
Evans among the little bundle of
fossils which Captain Scott and his
three companions dragged through the
blizzard with their other baggage on
that memorable return journey, which
cost them their lives. The few tiny
fragments, under the light of science,
tell wonderful story. If it is true, as
these specimens strongly indicate, that
there is coal at the South Pole, it fol-
lows that at some remote period there
must have been forests growing in this
frozen, ice covered land. Stored UP in
the little bits of coal is the heat from
tropical sun which ages ago shone
over the hills and fertile valleys of
King Edwards Land, now desolate ice
waste.

Asks Damages
For Poor Seed

The suit of C. F. Kamm, a rancher
in the neighborhood of Holtville,
against the Germain Seed Company of
Los Angeles and John Kavanaugh, a
Holtville seed merchant, is being tried
today before jury in the superior
court, with Judge Franklin j. Cole,
presiding. The complaint alleges that
the defendants sold the plaintiff an
inferior grade of alfalfa seed which
was understood to be of high class
The plaintiff demands damages.
In the statement of the defense to
the jury preceding the trial, the de-
tense of the Germain Seed Company
will be based on the claim that the
seed company sold the seed to John
Kavanaugh. who retailed it to the
plaintiff. An amended answer to the
complaint was filed today by the de.
PENDANTS, claiming that the suit had
not been filed within two years OF
the sale of the seed by the defendant
/ This case is of importance to every
rancher and farmer of the county a!
/ it raises a new question here as tt
the confidence that may be placed by
the seed buyers in the labels which ar
rive on the packages.
Mr.. Kamm, through Attorney Franz
Birkhauser, alleges that the seed II
question, was purchased by him from
John Kavanaugh of Holtville and orig
inally had been labaled Arabian alfal
fa seed by the German Seed Com
pany. Mr.. Kamm further alleges tina
the stand of alfalfa grown from tn

during the cooler months.

of the canvass for names on the peti-
ton for state wide prohibition amend
ment, has received word that in South

900 persons have signed the petition
only 10000 names being required fol

These names are being filed with

by those officials are being forwarded
to the secretary of state.
This makes it certain that next fal
at the general election there will be
submitted to the voters the question
of state wide prohibition in Califor

other states will vote on the question
and it is expected that an immense
area will be added to the prohibition

Meanwhile the question is before

that the end of the liquor traffic il

To Feed Lonely
Ones Christmas

Albert Durham reports that there
is a brisk demand for tickets to the
dinner to be given Christmas Day to
the men of Ell Centre who otherwise
would be unable to eat dinner at home.
The dinner is especially designed for
those who have come more or less
permanently to the valley to take a
hand in the upbuilding of the valley,
including those who have employment
and those who have not.
The dinner is to be given under the
auspices of the business men of Ell
Centre and the Women's Ten Thous-
and Club, and Mrs. Smith H. Embury
has offered to give the use of her
handsome large home for the dinner.
The preparatory work of arrang-
ing the dinner has been so divided be-
tween the various committees of the
Ten Thousand Club that no heavy bur-
den will fall on any one person. Each
committee has taken hold of its work
with a great amount of energy.

more offensive power. 4.
Collins, Mattick and Johnston,
the suburb recruit from the south,

he, and will hold down shortstop
for the second squad. Kid Glea-
SON has been instructed to keep
close watch on him, and if he
shows the goods Cal will annex
him to the regulars in place of
Weaver. Berger's work so far
has been sensational, and Weaver
must travel at high speed to keep |
him off the team.
