 Old Records
 In searching through the old records of the local reclamation office, Chief Clerk Marine succeeded in digging up some ancient Water supply papers,, written by Chief Engineer Arthur P. Davis, and referring to the Verde pro- ject. According to the papers, the only really pretentixus surveys ever made on the Verde were those of the Rio Verde Canal company, many years ago. w. A. Parish, now an engineer in the rec lamation service, and member of the survey board, working for the canal company, surveyed the reservoir site closely enough to map it in five foot contour lines. The records of this sur vey give very accurate estimate of the amount of water possible to be i stored if a successful dam can be built where the Horseshoe site has been se- l ected. Parish made this survey in i 1892 and consequently does not remem- l Der very much about the country. i Engineer Olberg formerly of the rec l lamatiOn service but now in the Indian service, also did some survey work of a preliminary nature in the lower Yer de country. His surveys were for a dam at Mcdowell. But this project
 has been abandoned as impracticable.
 first because the damsite and reservoir
 are not very favorable and second be- cause the basin would cover quantity
 of Indian lands.

 for Horseshoe dam, including all foreseen items of preliminary and con- struction work is about a million dol lars. This is based partly on the work Of the Rio Verde Canal company, which

Maricopa Lodge No. 43 last eve ming held an important meeting and despite the rainy weather there were several candidates for initiation. There were also several visiting members present. The usual busi- ness session was held on Saturday evening, March 21, at which time several applications for membership were read. The local lodge is work ing night and day in an effort to win the state banner back. The standard is at present held by Santa Rita Lodge, No. 274, of Tucson. Sis ters Bailey and Horner are reported as improving from their recent ill., nesses. A novel entertainment has been arranged for Saturday evening.

This will also be the regular social evening and a short program has been arranged aside from the dancing.

GERMAN CHURCHES
 LOSE ATTENDANTS
Less Than Two Per Cent of lnhabi
 tants of Berlin Worshippers

BERLIN, March 2S.-Some extra ordinary figures relating to church attendance in Berlin are published in the "Vossische Zeitung."
 On February P the united com mittees of the movement away from the state church took a census in the 7S churches of Berlin and Chariot tenburg. These churches have seat ing accommodation for 120,000 and serve a population of 2,060,0O0.
 On the date mentioned there were only 5000 at two services, or under ? per cent of the population. Of Worshippers present on that day, the journal declared, more than three quarters were women and children. -The movement away from the church is stated in another quarter to be growing seriously. Last year, in Germany, 13,00O persons severed their connection with the state church in comparison with 5000 in the prev ious year and 5000 in 1910.

 The surveyor of the job is author ity for the statement that 50 inches of wampum (50 cents in English) will secure admittance to a couple, who will have all the dancing they desire and refreshments at no extra cost. which will undoubtedly not be considered as a serious obstacle. We found some good results from the efforts of the relief chiefs to visit the reported sick, even if they did find Sister Young out on a hunt in the mountains (note in order to profit by her hunting experience, she is put on the prairie dog hunt, and we know she will make good). Sister Davies, however, was found at home, not this evening though, neither will she on the sleep of the 9th, for that will be one of the oc-
 casions to be remembered. (Make leaf of it.)

We are glad to learn that the injury is not accom- panied with results calculated to in terfere with a program to be carried cut at the next meeting-April 9th, which assures a good social time, in which those desirous will have the opportunity to practice the steps which will enable them to meet the requirements of the Sun Dance and Fete to be held in the city April 1S.

That the epic of irrigation is about to have another stanza added to it's al ready generous length, is the strong belief of those who have followed the development of the hearings on the project limits in the Salt River Valley Having discovered that they had but scratched a figurative soil, reaping the harvests of a few light plowings, the intrepid irrigators are now faced with the problem of going deeper, refining their methods and adding to their re- sources.
 It is to the Rio Verde, historic stream. that the farmers of the Salt River Valley are now turning. The capricious river which has figured in tales of flood and Indian raids, annals of the cattle and sheep man, and stor- ies of mines, is now about to become noted in another sphere-that of irri- gation.
 For, however, indefinitely vague are the records of this river, the ingenuity of reclamation engineers has been de- clared capable of curbing it's floods and turning them to some useful pur- pose. No regular out and out survey has ever been made of that site near Horshoe bend, where it is believed the water users can build their new dam. All that is really known of the site is the fact that it lies thirty miles north of Camp Mcdowell, and that just above there it terminates a wide val ley capable of containing about two hundred thousand acre feet of stored water. The damsite upon which all eyes are now turned, is near the mouth of Limestone creek, a short but oftentimes generous contributor to the Verde's flood. Limestone creek drains partof the Prescott National Forest and has good water shed, well pro- tected by forest growth.
 Although seldom considered much of river, the Verde's measurements would surprise the ordinary observer In length it is a little over a hundred miles Its affluences drop from the thousands of canyons and washes that score the sides of the Prescott Flag staff mountain region, the rib that ex- tends westward from the backbone of Arizona.
 From the records of the reclamation service there come some interesting figures, showing a comparison of the basins and run-offs of the. Salt and Verde
