Greatest 24-Hour Gain in History of Dam is Over Twice December Mark, and Increase Bids Fair to Continue Today
FORMER HIGH WATER
 MARK BROKEN TODAY
This is Positive Assurance of Observer at Roosevelt, Who Gives Out Special Late Readings for The Republican Readers

The greatest 24-hour gain ever re- corded at Roosevelt was measured into the big watering -can yesterday, when the morning reading showed a rise of ten feet over the elevation of the day before. And at nine thirty last night, a reading, taken for The Republican, showed a further gain of six feet. Nearly six hundred thous- and acre feet of stored water was in the lake at midnight and the long distance interviewer was assured that by this afternoon, the waterbank would have received deposits, to equal the high record made May s, 1912, when the elevation was 179.32 feet and the contents 703,21S acre feet. A gain of 250,0O0 acre feet during the first two days of the run off from this particular little storm, is not beyond the possibilities. This is why:

Copies of that warning did not reach residents of the Salt River valley yes terday, and from very early yesterday morning until after noon, the river bed between Tempe and the junction of the Salt and Gila was the scene of rescues, some thrilling and some humorous. No fatalities resulted from the flood, nor was the property damage anything ser iOus.
 Minions of the law, summoned by tel ephone calls hastened to the river banks as early as four o'clock in the morning. Both Sheriff Adams and Chief Brawner had men at work.

M'ARTHUR IS BACK
 FROM MOTOR TOUR
 ID MEXICO BORDER
Automobile Man Finds Business Good In Nogaies Despite Harmful Tie up of Traffic Caused by
 Mexican Trouble

Mining conditions about Tucson are good, and there is a great deal of activity on properties that have been idle for years, according to Warren H. McArthur of this city, who returned yesterday from an eX- tended motor journey through the south of the state.
 Business in Nogales, where Me Arthur remained two days, is boom ing, although there has been some tendency to go slowly, on account of the activity of disturbing elements in Mexico near that point. The streets are being patrolled by United States soldiers, and things are quite mili- tary.
 One of the strange results of the tie-up of business is that there is over a million and a half dollars worth of merchandise, machinery and paine supplies. waiting until the trouble stops, in order to pass down through Nogales on its way to Sonora. This gives pretty good idea of the manner in which Mexico is bothering the merchants of the. border
 At Bisbee and Douglas, the price of copper and mining activity leave nothing to be desired.
 Roads were found to be generally good. McArthur. who was accom- panied by E. I. Chapman of New York City, drove the Mercedes road ster belonging to Stanwood Murphy He made Tucson in 4:20 by way of the old road to Florence. Better time could have been made on the state highway, as that was found to be the better road by far.
 On the return. McArthur made a rather remarkable run, driving from Douglas to Phoenix in one day. The distance is 267 miles. The entire trip was 720 miles long.

WIRELESS STARTER FOR
 AN OVERLAND CAR

For the first time in the history of the automobile it has been dem- tonstrated that a car can be started from a distance by means of the wireless telegraph.
 This was proved at the Indiana State Fair where the motor of model S3 overland was started every five minutes by a wireless spark from the Overland headquarters in Indianapolis, five miles away.
 A complete wireless outfit consist inf of motor generator, transformers. relays and other paraphernalia was installed in the show windows of the city sales rooms. This was con nected with an aerial on the roof Of the building and by stepping the all ternating current up from 110 volts to 16,OO0 volts the apparatus made it possible to send messages 300 miles.
 The overland car on exhibition at the fair grounds was fitted up witt a receiving apparatus and the ne cessarv automatic switches and re- lays for throwing on and off the electric current of the starter and magneto An automatic switch was regulated so as to allow the car to run for forty-five seconds after which the magneto was cut off. The operation of starting the car was re- peated at five minute intervals.
