MOUzON HEAD
 IF UNIVERSITY
In Addition to Being Bishop of Southern Methodist Church, Great Preacher is Builder of New Educa- tional Institution

Bishop Edwin D. MOuzon of Dallas. Texas, who combines his duties of one of the general superintendents of the Southern Methodist church with that of chancellor of the great Southern university that is being erected by the church at Dallas, will arrive in Phoenix this morning to remain two weeks. during which time he will preach daily at Central Methodist church. at the corner of Central ave- nue and Monroe street. The Metho- dists of the city and county are mak- ing great preparations for the visit of Bishop Mouzon, for it is very rare thing for a city the size of Phoenix to. have the distinction of en- loving a revival with so distinguished a man leading it.
 The importance of the position he occupies is not very generally under stood. The Southern Methodist church is one of the largest Metho- dist divisions in the world. number ing mote than 2.000000 actual mem- bers and communicants. This church looks for leadership to a dozen men who occupy the exalted position of bishop in the connection. These men are the general presiding officers of the church and are known as the College of Bishops. They hold the an nual conferences of the church in America and foreign countries and are generally among the very busiest men in the whole denomination
 They are chosen for their high of flee from among the travelling preach CTS of the connection at the general conferences, which are held every four years, by secret ballot without nomi- nation. This fact alone testifies to the opinion in which they are held in the great church. Bishop Mouzon. after a very distinguished career as a pastor of some of the largest churches in the south. was dean of the theoogi- cal school of Southwestern University at Georgetown, Texas. when he was elected bishop five years ago. Since that time he has made an even greater reputation in the connection.
 The Southern Methodist congrega tions of Phoenix. Bethel. Cartewright and the adjoining places are all join ing in making the coming meeting at Central Church one of the most suc- cessful efforts of it's kind ever held in the southwest.

ADVISES USE
 FLOOD WATER.
J. C. Norton of Chamber of Commerce is For Low Rate, But Not for Letting Silt Accumulate ill the Canals

That the reclamation service should make as low rate as possible on winter flood water, is the belief Of the water and irrigation committee of the chamber of commerce, J. C. Norton, chairman. In report sub mitted yesterday, pr. Norton advises the use of cheap flood water as much as possible without harmins the canals by the deposit of silt.
 He says in the report:
 ''I think, without question. Mr. Rorex's suggestion that we encour- age farmers to use flood waters dur ing the winter, if possible, and thus store d certain amount of water in the ground in order that we may economiZe later. is a good one. How ever, from experience, l must state that the flood waters can only be used on land under certain condi tions during the winter months, be- cause it is often so filled with silt that it would do damage. This same silty condition of the water caused the dit,hes tn he filled much more rapidly while carrying the same. and this would necessitate additional eN- pense in cleaning the ditches. Be cause of the damaging effect of the silty water on young alfalfa and other crops. only comparatively few farmers would run the risk of using the flood waters, especially when the resetvoir is quite well filled IL would. therefore. not be just to furnish flood waters free to some farmers and expect the farmers who have not used such water to pay the additional expense of cleaning the ditches. Your committee thinks however, that, for the benefit of cer- tain farmers and for the saving in the water supply of the valley. the flood waters could he furnished at practically what the cost of the ad- ditional work would be for cleaning the ditches. which. l should judge
 would be one-half or possibly one third the regular rate. Your com mittee. therefore. recommends that we favor the water users making as low rate as possible to farmers
 who are willing to use the flood waters
