BULLETIN" PRESENTS
 CASA GRANDE PROJECT
First Map of New San Carlos Project Sprung by Enterprising Manager
 of Casa Grande Paper

To the Bulletin of the Casa Grande belongs the honor of first presenting to the people of Arizona, the represen tation on paper of the new Gila irriga- tion project, based on the bill creating the San Carlos dam.
 Clear across the front page and half the page deep, Ted Healy the enthu siastic manager of the paper has thrown the map. It shows in detail the triangular irrigable area, made pos sible by the bill authorizing the con- struction of the San Carlos dam. The map was built on Pinal County map, and shows the section lines exactly. The sweep of the old Casa Grande Val ley canal is shown dropping away from the Gila toward the south. The north boundary of the project cuts across sections above Florence, ending at the east end of the Sacaton mountain range
 With the map goes full reprint of the bill which authorizes the expendi- lures of enough money to construct the San Carlos dam on the upper Gila
 It is a clean scoop, and deserves praise The Bulletin, this week con- tains information of value to everybody interested in the irrigation of the Gila Valley. It is an oversize" edition, containing much news beside the pro- ject story.

CRAWFORD ANXIOUS ID
 GET BACK TO WORK
Spends Busy Day Delivering Four
 Addresses in One Day

Eager to get back to the Hong grass country" and to his work in Africa, Dan Crawford, the celebrated mission ary leaves this morning for Los Ange- les and the coast after three-day stay in Phoenix. He goes via Prescott and the Grand Canyon, and after a tour of the coast sails from Vancouver May 15, for his distant field, never to return, as he says in his dramatic way, Never, never, never."
 MT Crawford put in a busy day yes terday, even for missionary. In the morning he spoke at the High School assembly, holding the Coyotes rapt with attention with flashlights from his life Africa. Yarns. he called them and fascinating yarns they were. too. His next speech was at Mesa High in the afternoon. where a large audi ence heard his address. He returned to Phoenix in time for a six o'clock sup per at the r. M. C. A. held in his hon. or under the auspices of the Baraca riass of the Presbyterian church Over a hundred heard his farewell message at this gathering, and wished him God speed and bon voyage as he leaves on his long journey, back to the Dark Continent. During his short stay in Phoenix. over $500 was raised toward | a fund of $500 for establishing a Bible School in connection with Mir Craw- ford's work in Africa. and it is hoped I by those in charge, that the full amount necessary will be secured.

COMMITTEES PREPARE FOR
 THE AT TACK
Enthused By Speeches of Visiting Secretaries, Y. M. c. A. Campaigners Start Forth In Siege of Money Strongholds

Occupying itself with the distribu- tion of names among the teams, the army which is to conduct the Y. M. C. A. financial campaign passed a profitable preparatory period yester- day. This morning is the time for the onslaught. At nine o'clock the teams with their captains will meet at the Y. M. C. A. listen to a few words of advice and sally forth upon the unsuspecting public with the vigor and vim of flock of rebel soldados charging upon the fated walls of Tor reon And when a equalization is ef- fected, the Y will have captured mu- nitions of war sufficient to last it the year to come, and to slap hearty healthy hole in the deficit that is now causing brow corrugations among the directors
 Being under what is known as en efficiency management, the Y. M. c. A. is needing all the encouragement monetary it can get For another word for efficiency is economy, not only of resources but of effort. No
 
 the most serious clogging influences to an efficiency machine is a deficit. If your motor car ran dry of oil last week, you cant expect the engine to hit well on every barrel tomorrow. just because you may have plenty of lubricant in it today. The same with an institution like the Young Mems T,l bearings are put in, to replace those
 worn by the lack of lubricant in the last two years, the engine cannot pro- duce its maximum man power. These new bearings represent bank drafts to be applied on the debts. They are what the business men of Phoenix are seeking to supply by their cam paign of today and tomorrow.
 The budget system, now in effect with the associations departments is a great saver of money. When all the possible resources for the year are collected, the directors apportion the | fund to the several departments. They give the educational, physical, boys, social, membership. religious and i house committees certain stated ac-
 counts. which must not be over
 drawn. Then the work proceeds on
 that basis, saving not only money but
 work for the secretaries.
 | The least the association can get by
 with in 1914 is $300O The deficit
 amounts to $500. Total $S,S00. Pledges already rendered to the com
 mittees give evidence of a generous
 response to the campaign. Solid work
 of the personal handshake kind, must i be done before the entire amount is | lifted. It will be no mere go-and get
 it for the asking. The campaign will ! involve real work When the commit
 tees get through committing, they will have earned all the admiring glances
 and whispered compliments that will i be directed their way. They will get | little else, except the feeling that they have waged a good husky fight. The honor of being the biggest help to the Young Mems Christian Association ir ! the year of grade 1914 will be the 1 only reward that fall to the team
 making the highest total of pledges
 and collections

Coliseum

The bill at the Coliseum which ran during the past week. established sev- eral new records, which goes to prove Phoenix is always ready to show it's appreciation, when a good show ar rives.

FASHION SHOW DRAWS
 BIG CROWD TO SAVOY

While the Savoy company holds the indoor record for springing nov cities surprises. it went one better last night, when Schultz of Venice was offered with the Herzberg fash ion show The latter was the first of it's kind ever seen in Phoenix in connection with a theatrical per fOrmance, and the novelty went over with the dash that always has char acterized the Jacobs stunts The piece de resistance of the offering was the ballad number of the popu- lar prima donna, Miss Wainwright, who sang clever song while the members of the chorus wore six of the latest spring creations furnished by the local dress store. The number was easily the hit of the evening and added to a clean, cleverly pre- sented performance of a good com edy, hung up record for novelty at the iron play house. Miss Simpson and Miss Estes both submitted gown offerings loaned by Herzberg's to the delight of the big house which greeted the opening show.
 Tonight will see the fashion show augmented with lot of amateurs, and to add spice to the bill two world pedestrians, "Rattlesnake Jim and Herr Preussler will each do a stunt. These two men met here for the first time on a pair of journeys which are unique. The German walk CT is finishing his last leg of a trip that covers already more than 100000 miles afoot, while the one with tht 'Rattlesnake' handle will try, so he says. to walk from Buffalo, x. Y., to the Panama canal and back. Rattle snake, who is an adopted son of an Indian tribe, will do his tribal dance as a feature of the amateur bill.

 NOW GETTING
 SOME POWER
Part of Ultimate Load Now Being Delivered; Cone Attends Opening of New Transmission Line Roose- welt to Miami.

Electrical power is now being used by the Inspiration Mine, by way of the new transmission line from Roosevelt. This sums up one of the big achieve ments of the reclamation officials in the power division for the past year.
 Engineer w. s. Cone, in charge of the power division of the Salt River Pro-
 ject returned from Miami yesterday
 morning, reporting the successful com
 pletion of the power line, the installa
 ton of the switches and transformers
 and the throwing of the switch that
 turned a flood of electricity loose on
 the work which the Inspiration Mine
 has to be done 70. K" is the way
 Cone describes the job Not a single
 accident or "kick-out" marred the first days service. The line is done, fin ished, accomplished
 For forty miles over mountain and canyon, the engineers plugged away, seeking route for their tall steel towers The work of installing them,
 stringing the wires and connecting up, has taken over a year. The line is famous in the annals of reclamation | work hereabout because it was accom- plished without the expense of buying
 new steel. A revision of the Roose- veltMesa power line in which every other tower was pulled down, furnished enough steel to construct the new line The expense of revising the valleys
 main supply line was cut down a little
 by the sale of the extra material to the mining company
 When the line is operating at it's full capacity, the estimated income to the
 water users will be about $1,000 day. At present there is but 1000 horse power being delivered Ultimately the line will carry about 5000 kilowatts, or enough to keep the Inspiration and 1 Miami mines operating night and day 1 right through Sundays and all.
 | After the fashion of power com | panies. the income of the project from 1 the Miami mines depends on the con- tinuity of supply.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Reqale

Prof. Ozarf and Madame Dice took yesterdays Regale theater audiences by storm upon the occasion of their initial appearance at this comfortable little amusement resort. 21O-212 East Washington street.
 As an opener Prof. Ozarf presents some really good sleight of hand tricks that mystify as well as in- terest. These tricks, besides being entertaining in themselves, serve the additional purpose of paving the way for the more startling feats of Mad anne Ojee. Working in conjunction with the professor, Madame Dice, while blindfolded, gives names. dates and horoscopes from the stage Her entertainment is classed as telepathic astrology, and whatever are the means by which she accomplishes her mystifications, she succeeds in so at tracing the audiences to her that they clamor for more.
 Although it has entailed unusual additional expense upon the part of Manager Cruckson to secure this wonderful team, he has in no way cut down the regular picture bill. For today and tomorrow the feature will be a two-reel Powers drama, "A Stolen Identity featuring Edwin August. This is an interest creating and interest holding story. In one Nestor reel is presented another powerful drama, "The Greater Love For comedy there is a Nestor, His Brothers Wives This is an elab- crate comedy production featuring Eddie Lyons, Donald Macdonald, Lee
 Moran and a huge supporting con- pany.

There was no Monday slump at the Revival The expected shortage in at tendance didn't occur. Instead, there were crowds of people at the Taber- nacle last night again to hear the Evangelists Brown and Curry.

The subject of MT. Brown last night was, Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish" and the vari ous steps of repentance were discussed in order in a strong and touching ser man.
 The schedule of meetings for today calls for a mems parade through the down town sections of the city, just be- fore the night meeting. The members of the various churches. that is the men members, will gather at each church at o'clock, march to the Y M. c. A. and from there will start in a body through the business section.
