MORE ABOUT PHOENIX
 SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Management Gives Some Interesting History About Work of the
 Organization

The management of the Phoenix Symphony orchestra, which will give
 its second concert at tine Empress theatIe, Sunday at 300 D. m., has been asked by many people why their prices are so low; also com ment has been made upon their giv ing matinee concert instead of an evening performance. To these two queries the management explains:
 The symphony Orchestra move ment was tried in Phoenix five years ago and financially it was unsuccess- full The price of admission at that time was fifty cents, and only a small portion of the musical popu- latiOn seemed to take an interest ill the movement to lay the foundation for great orchestra. Realizing that the future of the local orchestra de- bends mostly on the financial SUD- rort given the enterprise it was de- cided to put the price within reach of all and have the concerts take place at a convenient point near the heart of the city where the passer-by and transient" trade would be at tracted. Later on, if the hopes of the members are realized, the or chestIa will command the average city price for such attractions and the very best soloists will be brought in and in short the Phoenix symphony Orchestra will be most i'm, ortant factor in the musical de- velopment of Arizona"
 Regarding the Sunday afternoon matinees, it is stated that the most competent instrumentalists of the city are only available in the after noon, and until the support of the people amounts to sufficient to pay the expenses of evening perform ances just the matinees will be given.
 The program of the concert Sun day is said to be very fine and those who attend will undoubtedly enjoy it immensely.

LOWER RATES FOR
 FLOUR SHIPMENTS
Interstate Commerce Commission De- cides Arizona Commission Ap-
 peal EavorablY

The cost of flour to the ultimate consumer will be reduced 23 cents on the sack of fifty pounds as soon as the rates applied by the state corporation commission and yesterday confirmed by the interstate commerce commission go into effect. The exact date of when the order will go into effect is not known in Phoenix as yet, since only official confirmation of the interstate commerce commissions action was re- ceived by the state commission yester- day The rate will apply to all ship ments from Kansas, Nebraska, and other eastern and middle western states.
 The Arizona commission recently ordered a decrease in freight charges within the state on all wheat and flour, and F per cent differential charge between wheat and flour. This order was referred to the interstate commis- sion for their action, and the word re- ceived yesterday was to the effect that the commission had acted favorably and that the rates would hereafter ap- ply
 The cut will mean that hereafter the charge per hundred pounds on ship ments of flour will be approximately 65 cents where in the past it has been s1l2 from Kansas City to Phoenix. TL;s reduction will in the end go to inc ultimate consumer

VERDE RIVER
 RAMPAG|NG
Thousands of Acre Feet Chasing Over Gra nit e Reef-RoOsevelt Lake h. creased Yesterday More Than 10000 Acre Feet

The Verde river continues to pour thousands of acre feet of water down to the sea, which might be
 stored for use in this section of the state if a dam were erected upon the Verde Yesterday the out pouring of water from northern Ari- zona down the watershed of the turbulent little stream was almost double that of the day previous h. dications are that it will continue all day to day as we'll
 The Verde however is not the only stream that is getting on rise Yesterday reports from the recla- nation service showed that an in- creasing flow was noticeable in the Salt and Tonto rivers at the in- take above the dam and as result
 the valley water bank was richer yesterday morning by 10,724 acre feet that it was the day previously Water was pouring into the dam yesterday morning at the rate of S30.000 miners inches a day. of which 5S,000 was from Tonto creek and the big balance from the Salt river.
 The power canal was running full and down into the Salt which to- gether with the Verde flood made the amount that was running over the Granite Reef dam equal to 452,- 1000 miners inches while 213,730
 miners inches was being taken out by the canals.
 The value of the water that is thus going to waste down the Salt river in acre feet can better be
 understood when a comparison of
 the gain in the dam is considered.
 The 330,000 miners inches flow into
 dam increased the capacity more
 than 10000 acre feet or a half
 years irrigation for 10000 acres,
 figured on the basis of two acre
 feet a year. What thousands of
 acre feet then could he irrigated
 with the 450,0O0 miners inches that
 was pouring over the top of the
 Granite Reef dam and on down
 through the reaches of the Salt and
 Gila rivers. The body of water
 running away at the dam is con-
 tinuous stream two feet deep and
 one thousand feet across.
