WILL CELEBRATE THE FILLING IF THE
 B|G DAM
Phoenix to Make Merry Over Supply of Waterr lnsuring Future Prosper itN

i PHOENIX, March 26-In the his ! tcry of the State of Arizona no event
 of greater importance can be imagin- ed than the filling of the Roosevelt reservoir, lake 2S miles in area, large enough to float the navies of lhalf dozen nations-oYer a million acre feet of water, enough to last the Salt River valley for three years or more. This is the result of the build ing of the Roosevelt dam Stored water is now on hand in sufficient fvolume to insure crops and prosperity on 100000 acres for several seasons.
 This is the reason for the big cele- bration which has been planned to take place on April 18th at the Roose- welt dam when it is expected the water will be overf1owing the spill ways. No more importantA occasion IcCuld possibly be conceived. The success of the great irrigation project guarantees for all time the agricul- tural prosperity or the great area Lcapable of producing an enormous variey of crons of splendid quality and profitable. It insures the con- tinued growth Of Phoenix, the capital city of the state, and the other towns in the valley.
 The vice-president of the United States, the Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, will be in Phoenix and will take part in the celebration with many other notables who have been invited to attend. The trip tc the dam, eighty miles from Phoenix, will be made by hundreds in cars of every make and description. The entire route will be ratrolled by officials of the reclama- ton service and deputies represent ing the police forces of the counties and the state. The trip will be fril of delight Superstition mountains pre- serts a continuous change of wonder ful views and colorful scenes. The heavy rains during the winter have carDeted desert and mesa with flow CTS of every variety, and the charm of spring weather will add still fur thel to the enjoyment of the occasion.

SECRETARY LANE AT
 THE ROOSEVELT DAM
Disheartens Seekers for Government
 Aid for the Paradise Valley.

PHOENIX, March 31.-To a dele gation of land owners from Paradise Valley, northeast of Phoenix, who called upon him immediately after his arrival today to seek his influence in securing an irrigation project to make their lands productive, Frank lin K. Laine, secretary of the interioE was not encouraging.
 He advised them to ask congress for a special appropriation, but de clared himself in favor of the project, which is to take water from the Yer de River. He drew attention to the fact that Arizona has received more reclamation funds than any other state He intimated that other states must be given a share before Arizona is favored more.
 With Governor Hunt and officials of the Water Users Association, Sec retary Lane and his wife left today for the Roosevelt dam. They will return tomorrow. Lane will receive number of delegations and address, the farmers.

Tennis Tournament

Tennis Tournament
 Idred spectators, C. B. Macreath
 won the Douglas Singles Cup Tourna-
 ment over R. K. Gustafson at the
 local tennis court on last Sunday af-
 terHooQ with score of 4-6, 6-2 and l6-3
 | Covering several weeks, the tourna-
 ment had been in progress until the
 semi-inals were ready to be played.
 On Saturday afternoon Gustafson and Lynton played, resulting in the former as winner. On Sunday morning Macreath and Finigan played their match resulting in Macreath winning three straight sets This placed the
 final match between Macreath and Gustafson. Promptly at three o'clock the match began, with Dr. A. M. Tuthill umpire and scorer, and four Ilinesmen near the court. Gustafson played with a handicap of 3-6 or x30 one game and X15 the next while Macreath played under a handicap of l-30. Under a severe strain, both men played cautiously although Mac reath trying to place his returns lost many points in the first set that were costly. During the last three sets there were numerous close plays at the net, and many exceptional re- turns made by both players, that won the appreciative applause of the many onlookers. Although Macreath ap- peared to be slow getting into form, he played his game consistently dur ing the last three sets and won out. Too much cannot be said of Gustaf- sons playing for he kept in the, game from start to finish going after tevery ball possible. Both men were warm ly congratulated at the close of the match for their excellent work
 The silver cup, trophy to the winner, will remain in the possession of Macreath until next year when another tournament will decide it's possession for second year. Three consecutive wins gives the player un- disputed possession.
 The day was an excellent one for tennis and the affair attracted many of the ladies in camp who are inter- ested in the game, making the final match success in every sense # the word.

Settles Improvement
District Question

The supreme court has handed
down a decision denying the ap-
plication for a writ of mandate
applied for by A. V. Mcqueen in
the case of Mcqueen versus the
City of Moscow. The finding of
the court will permit the council
of that city to go ahead with its
paving plans in an improvement
district it created. Mcqueen as
property owner and taxpayer
sought to prevent the council
from doing this. The district is
known as No. 2. Passing on the
tissues involved the supreme court
says in part;
"A person holding real estate
in contract with the proposed
district, the deed being in escrow
may sign the petition providing
his grantor does not sign it. If
two persons are joint owners of
property in the district but each
owns other property in fhe dis
trict individually each h5Alitled
to sign the petition their
names can be counted but once.
THE name of a petitioner, at
the time of signing a nonresident
of the state, cannot be counted to
the credit of the district nor can
name be counted which has been
placed on the petition 60 days af-
ter it has been filed and acted on
by the council or withdrawn from
the petition after the council has
published its ordinance of inten-
ton"
