BASEBALL

The Base Ball Season will open
in Winslow Saturday afternoon,
when the local club clashes with
the crack State Normal Team of
Flagstaff.
Winslow will have several new
faces in the line up this season.
LeMasters will replace Stone at
first base Klein will be behind
the bat, and Hubbard will be on
short. Joe Voelker, although not
a stranger to Winslow fans, is
nevertheless a new man on the
team, he will probably play sec
ond base. Taking the team as
whole, it is one of the best that
ever represented the town, and
it is hoped fans will appreciate
the fact enough to get out and
encourage the boys along.
The real object in booking a
Saturday game, was due prime
ipally to the fact that a great
many people will attend Saturday
games in preference - Sunday
games, and it is intended to try
out the plan, before any more
Saturday games are booked.
Games have been scheduled
with the Albuquerque Ore team,
San Bernardino, Kingman, Bel
en-, Gallup and it is possible that
Needles may come later in the
season.

water will soon be on the old
fields and in town. 1t is a pug
zler to know what to do to put
water in the Lyman canal intake
as the reservoir gate that stands
20 feet above the river. Pump
ing and building a high diversion
dam are both proposed. The
chances are in favor. of construct
ing a high, tight, earth diversion
dam.
The fields Of Hunt, the Mead
ows Of st. Johns are all so wet
and muddy that little can be dore
as yet, but as soon as they are
dry enough much crop will be
planted as the natural flow Of
the river, with last winters
heavy snow fall will supply ad-
equate water tor this year.
Many offers of relief have been
received. We need relief. bit
it is not immediate relief, for we
have food in plenty and are able
to temporarily care for those of
our numbers who lost theirhomes.
But, at the same time, many of
our Spanish-Americans whose
homes were washed down were
poor people and they need help
to rebuild and refurnish. Our
farmers were already in debt for
the Lyman reservoir and dam
and their only hope of ever pay
ing out now lies in rebuilding
the dam at an early date and that
will take at least hundred
thousand dollars capital. If it is
not rebuilt, and that right away,
bankruptcy awaits the entire
community. Woodruff has food
and clothing for immediate relief
but this is the eleventh time that
these poor people have lost their
diversion dam, and three times
because Of our reservoir breaks.
The people Of Hunt need relief
Tor they were already heavily
involved, and must &c deeper in
debt to rebuild their Udall dam.
We need capital to assist us re-
We must have it. w
must find it, and then we can re-
cover. Of adversely we of st.
John have had more than our
share, but no one is giving up.
It only asks finanaial aid, and it
is willing to repay that.

CALL FOR GOOD
ROADS CONVENTION

bership throughout the State has
resulted in the organization OF IL
local good roads associations CO.
operating with the State Assoc
iation. and the addition Of 44l
individual members.
Many vital questions regarding
WAYS and means for securing a
practical, economical and efflc-
lent good roads system for this
state present themselves. At q
recent meeting of our Executive
Committee it was decided to call
a general good roads conference
at Tucson, May Is, 1915, for the
purpose of a frank consideration
and discussion of these import
ant questions in order that def
mite good roads policy might be
adopted, concurred in by all Sec
tions of the Safe and toward the
accomplishment of which the Of
ficers of the State Association
aided by the team play of all the
members, might direct their at
tention.
Among the important questions
which we believe should be con-
sidered at this conference are
the following:
/. The method of securing
the greatest cooperation be-
tween all counties. To this end
all County engineers will be in
vited to be present.
2. The Constitution of the
State will not permit the issuing
of bonds for any purpose. So
many counties having already is
sued bonds or are considering
bond issues for road purposes,
your Executive Committee be-
lieves the time not ripe for the
consideration of a State Road
Bond Issue, the Committee be-
lieves, however, that the quest
ion of amendment to the Con-
stitution to permit the issuing Of
bonds when same would be of
advantage should be considered
by the conference.
3. Road work is of two class
es, Permanent and Temporary.
In many states permanent work,
rock cuts, concrete bridges and
similar construction is paid for
by bond issues. Maintenance, and
other temporary work being paid
for by direct taxation. This pol
icy will be under discussion at
the conference.
At this conference the State
Engineer will be present, and
each Board of Supervisors has
been asked to send represent
atives. We further request that
each of the Local Good Roads AS
sociations send delegates and in
vite the attendance of everyone
in the State interested in the
subject of good roads. We are
also asking the cities of the state,
and all commercial organizations
to send representatives.
A representative of the Bur.
eau of Good roads of the UuiteC
States Goverement will present
the advantages of various types
of good roads, and an exhibi
will be made of various classe:
of road construction.

breaking of the Lyman reservoir.
the financial losses have been
pretty accurately computed, the
people are busy repairing the
lower bitches and dams, riddled
fences are being reconstructed,
preparations to put in as much
crop as possible are in progress.
plans are being formulated to put
water into the higher Lyman
canal for irrigation of the bench
land, six of the eight bodies Of
the drowned have been recover
ed and buried, so that the town
is somewhat normal again.
The direct losses total up about
as follows:
Lyman dam and injuries to
canal, $90,000.00
Houses washed down at st.
Johns, 100000
St. Johns Irrigation Co.'S, 100000
Bridge at St. Johns, 2,500.00
Bridge at Hunt, 100000
Crops and fences ruined at st.
Johns and Meadows, 100000
Meadows dam, 100000
Udall dam, 100000
crops, fences and bitches at
Hunt, 100000
Woodruff dam, 100000
Crops and other injuries at

4,5OO COL
Hoolbrook Bridge, 100000
Other damage, as live stock,
ect. 100000
Total direct loss, 1876, 10000
The indirect loss depends on
so many contingencies, that it IS
hard to estimate, but this seems
a fair though low, estimate:
Crop loss at st. Johns,
S6O,000.00
Crop loss at Meadows, 5000. COZ
Crop loss at Hunt, 100000
Crop loss at Woodruff, (or ex-
ira cost of pumping is resorted
to) 10, 000.00l
yet it is safe to say that other
indirect losses will make the tot
al up to a full hundred thousand,
though in event that the Lyman
dam were never again built it
would reach over half million.
But the agriculturists of this
town are we'll acquainted with
adversity. for they have had
their measure heaped up and
running over. The first farms
the settlers developed along the
river valley went to alkall and
salt grass and almost stopped
farming here. They built the
Salado reservoir in their days Of
poverty to bring their better
drained bench lands under cult
ivation, but ten years ago it
went out. They extended their
energies out to the lands of Hunt
and built the Udall dam, but it
has been washed away three
times. They tried farming at
the Meadows and have lost two
dams there, so that already these
hardy toilers have lost agricult-
ural property worth half a mil
lion dollars.
A good force is now at work
on the town ditch and old field
