NEWELL SOME
 SNOW MAKER
Director Claims Most of Credit for Large Addition of Snow to Water Possi- bilities; Sees Project, Leaves Today.

The people of the Salt River val lev have been observing the unWonted scarcity of rain which has led to q low water elevation in the reservoir. 1 come now as champion rain maker, and behold. The snows fall and cover the mountain tops on the watershed. The temperature falls and the snow continues. It freezes in the hills and the deposit is certified by the stamp of winter" Thus mo Gestly spake Frederick II. Newell, di- rector of the United States recIama- tion service. who arrived in Phoenix yesterday from an inspection trip to Roosevelt and Sacaton.

The physical features of the system are in tine shape the crops good and the farmers contentej on the south side, the Indians are using the well water. raising their first second crops in many years and finding bunch of easy money in their cotton crops. The proximity of the Indian fcseTNation to the valley where labor + always in demand makes it easy fer the Indians to connect with liv- ing while their farms are not pro ductive

 SINCE SUNDAY
Young Woman In Arizona Bank Discovered Fraud That Took In Nine Pro minent Merchants. Secret Service Men On Trail.
THE OFFICIAL REPORT.
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. l, 1S1'

PnOenl&. ATIL-, Lee !. i'A' The Treasurer of the United States. Washington, D. c.
 Dear sir:
 have this date sent notice through the office of the director of the reclamation service relative to the loss by me of Interior Checks Nos. S7S6 to SSO5. inclusive which were taken by one w. F. Gibbons employed as draftsman here and cashed in part at least among the local merchants.
 MT. Gibbons is employed up stairs over my office and has passed through same several times daily while on duty as the only stairway inside the building is through the room used by me as an office. The checks taken were evidently se- cured just before closing time last Saturday as he stopped for some time in my office and a personal check was cashed for him from the funds on hand.
 Eight of the checks taken have already been reported from the banks all made out in his favor in sums ranging from $51.O0 to $135.OO and indorsed by him on the backs with my name merely filled in with no attempt to copy signature in signature space.
 The matter has already been re- ported by me to the r. s. Attorney for this district and a special agent from his office is already at work on the case.
 Very respectfully.
 DAVID K. CLINT.

The quickness of perception of Miss Gertrude Mccoy. stenographer of the National Bank of Arizona, in detecting the difference between a signature of David K. Clint, fiscal agent for the rec lamatfOn service on one check-a good One-and on another one-a bad one fraud upon the government was un- covered in Phoenix early yesterday afternoon, that involved the stealing of fifteen check blanks upon the treas urer of the United States from the of flee of MT. Clint, and the forgery of Mir. Clint's name to them, and the pas sage of nine of these checks aggregat- ing more than 5000 upon the mer- chants of Phoenix
 As result, w. F. Gibbons. club man, generally considered good fellow and man about town, is very much wanted just now, with United States secret service men on his trail and nine cer- tain merchants of Phoenix hoping he will be caught before all the money he got is spent. Gibbons was an expert draftsman in the reclamation service here, well respected. one of the best map makers in the country, and the last man who would be expected to pull off a trick suchlas is being laid at his door.
 So generally good was his reputation that he had no trouble whatever in cashing the checks he is alleged to have forged all of whom he approached taking his word that he had neglected to cash his own check before the banks closed on Saturday. All the checks he Cashed at the various places bear the date of November 29. and each one of icsr man presenting them.
 Early yesterday afternoon Miss Me Coy, who was transcribing a list of the checks received from the customers of the bank in the course of the days business, when she noticed the check referred to above. Calling the atten- tion of Julian Gang to this the two of them looked and found four more sim liar checks all for large sums in the very same style of handwriting These were compared with a sure enough sig nature of Mr. Clint and it was found that forgery had been committed Gang Immediately telephones the Val ley Bank and that institution began to look lively with the result that four more of the checks turned up. They were all drawn on the treasurer of the United States and all bore the informa- tion ''pay to the order of w. F. Gib- bOns". The only similarity in the handwriting of the real signature and the forgeries if any such could be called similarity, was the smaHness of the handwriting
 The telephone then was pressed into service and the persons who had cashed the checks were called LID for further information. All told the same story. J. M. Ormsby, vice president of the Valley bank then got busy with the office of the United States attornev Tn the meantime MT. Clint had been informed of the trouble and an inves- tigation of the check books of the rec Iamation service was made showing that fifteen checks had been extracted rom one of the books. The secret ser wee men then took up the trail like the sleuths that they are, and further developments are awaited with interest
 Gibbons is thought to have left town yesterday morning, as he has not been seen since Sunday morning. Descrip
