HIGH SCHOOLS
 MUSICAL HIT
'' 'Pinafore," Presented Sue cessfully by Glee Club Last Night, Proves There is Much Talent Among Undergraduates

In spite of the mud and the rain, the opera HI NJ. $. Pinafore' presented by the Glee club at the high school audi torium last evening, drew a good crowd of music lovers. The opera it. self was highly successful and went through without a hitch. Every mem Der of the cast showed talent and in view of the fact that most of the parts were carried by under-class men, great praise is due them for their success.
 Miss Oriole E. Scott, the directress of the opera was well pleased with the showing her students made. She gath cred the cast together just before the curtain rose and in short speech in spired them to do their best, which in all probabilities they did
 Earl Galpin in the role of Ralph Rackstraw made a decided hit. He had a strong clear voice and carried his part well. Helen L4atimer, as Jose phine, showed remarkable talent for girl of her age and kept the audience charmed with her sweet voice. Joe Johnston, as Sir Joseph Porter, and Joe Doron IS Dick Deadeye were both good.
 Dick Deadeye kept everyone in a roar Of laughter at one time and shiv- ering the next moment. Ruth Medley, as Little Buttercup and Dennis Glea- son, as Captain Corocan were also good. Bernice Jones played the part of Cou- sin Hebe exceedingly well. Byron Showers, the boatswain. led the chorus Of men and portrayed his part well. The chorus, both the mems and the wo- mems were fine and showed good train ing.
 This opera was the first musical play that has ever been produced by the local high school and it is hoped that it will not be the last as there is talent in the student body that should be given expression. Music is coming to the front at the school and the Glee club, whose members so successfully gave "Pinafore" last night, is ore of the leading organizations.
 Special scenery was used last night, being painted for the occasion by Bruce | the scenic artist.

RAIN PUT NACO BATTLE
 ON THE BUM SAYS KNAPP
Bsbee Man Describes Wealth of Water That is Covering Ranges-Feels
 Like a Refugee

Tt was certainly moist down in the south of the state" said Cleon T. Knapp, q Phelps Dodge attorney who is visit ing here on business before the United States land office, but I never expect ed It would get to the flood stage which is reported today. When l left Bisbee, we were all worrying about poor May torena and Gil, whose trenches were fuller of water than they were of Mex ican sharpshooters. The rain certainly put the battle on the bum, to use a popular but crude expression.
 "Old timers come to bat every once in a while and tell us about the un- precedented rain of the early upmties, but you never hear much from them now-there is no bigger flood of wealth from the skies to make comparison. In places, Cochise county is under a sheet of water, and the rain still keeps hang ing on"
 Mir Knapp said he felt like a refugee when the news came of breaks in the transportation facilities. He will re- main in the city few days looking in to mineral patents pending before the land office.
