FAKE FLOOD REPORTS

The fictitious reports sent out from Phoenix early in the present month and given publicity throughout the United States have not only done great harm to the community. but have been the means of causing con- siderable anxiety and a great deal of worry on the part of people liv- ing at a distance who have friends and acquaintances residing here. Many telegrams and letters have been received it this place inquiring as to the safety of the people Only yesterday morning Ernest Walpole received a telegram from his Wife's sister living at Miami, Florida, ask ing if the family had survived the awful floods which had been devast- ing the valley. Previous to the tele- gram he had a letter from Ohio asking the same questions J. w. Pruitt is just in receipt of letter from his old home in Uvalde. Texas, asking if he has been affected by the floods and suggesting in a mild way that help will be forthcoming if necessary. Thes are but samples of the correspondence that has been coming to Mesa.

 WAsH|NGToNs BIRTHDAY
Schools and Business Houses Will Be CIosed-Tempe High Normal
 Game

Monday will be reconized gener- ally as a legal holiday by the people of Tempe, according to the outlook last evening. The stores have given their consent to close, the schools have each one dismissed until Tues day, and by way of commemorating the occasion tie same as has been done in past years, Tempe high and the normal will play their annual between the two schools.
 There was some doubt as to whether or not the day would be observed generally. A canvass of the business houses last evening, how ever, ascertained the fact that each would observe the usual holiday hours At the normal it was pri- marily the intention to conduct school as usual, but at the last mo ment the board yielded to the wish of the students and President Matthews yesterday afternoon off cially announced a close of the in stitution as well as the training school, until Tuesday morning. The high and grammar schools are botl closed until Tuesday.
 The annual Washingtons birthday battle between the normal and Tempe high has always been th' seasons opening game and as sucf interest is keen. The game this year will be staged on the high schoo diamond and there is possibility that the band will be out for shorl program.
