A HUGE
CELEBRATION
At THE DAM

Anticipating the filling of the
Roosevelt reservoir by the time the
spring rains have ended, the cham
ter of commerce is already making
plans for huge joint celebration
at Roosevelt, whenever the happy
occasion warrants it The matter
was discussed at a meeting of the
directors the other day, at the sug
gestion of Harry NJ. Blair.
That there will be million acre
feet of stored water is practically
certain. Project Manager c. H.
Fitch yesterday pointed to the curve
on the water supply chart in the
reclamation office, and said that
there was hardly doubt that the
elevation would be raised to the
million acre feet stage within p
month.
Around town there is a great
deal of optimism noticeable among
the business men. 1t is felt that the
water supply situation is better than
i; has ever been. and that the low
stage of a year ago was more useful
as demonstration of what econ
omical methods of irrigation can do,
than it was harmful in publicity
way.
Yesterdays reading at the gauge
was lS2.15 feet, and the storage
amounted to 739.463. 1t is believed
that the bulk of the run off from the
Thursday rains will show in this
mornings readings. Still, clear cold
weather followed the snow on the
watershed. and it may be that a
good deal of the moisture has been
detained in the high mountain gorgcs
| in The form of snow and ice.

RAYohET WOUNDS DEADLY
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Shrapnel
causing infection, makes the most
troublesome wounds of the present
war, but bayonet wounds are most
deadly according to Prof. Walton
Martin of the department of sur
gerry at the Columbia University
who was recently engaged by the
american hopital in Paris. The num-
Der of soldiers wounded by bayonet
who reach the hospital are very
small, the surgeon said, and from
his experience behind the British
and French trenches he is convinced
hat few men thus wounded even
left the trenches alive. Fragments
of uniform. split open wood, stone
chunks of soil are probed out of the
wounds of soldiers felled by shrap-
mel. Martin said.

A Good Measure

We think the senate yesterday, when it put Sen
ate Bill 10 in the way Of amendment could not have
been properly informed the purpose the bill.
Without such information the bill would become the
natural object of criticism The
tended enable school boards in cities make
improvements in streets and alleys upon which school
property abuts.
For the purpose of making such improvements
especially the Center street side of the Central
school property time ago bonds voted by
the residents of this district Likewise the streets
the other schools be improved
to conform to the improvements which the city had
made. After that it discovered that the trustees
could expend the proceeds of the bonds for that
purpose though the validity OF the bonds might
not be questioned
This bill designed not only to invest trus-
tees with the necessary power, but also to validate
the bonds already voted. This latter proposal
with opposition. If there should he such valuation
it uncertain how reaching the effect might
be. AS matter of fact, it would not reach be
Nond Phoenix District No /, for no other bonds
have been voted anywhere else for such purpose
Unless this relief should he granted the streets
adjacent to the school buildings of Phoenix any
other town in Arizona cannot he improved except
ly private subscription. There is authority for
the expenditure of city county funds for such
improvements.
The proposed amendment which would pc j
fatal one would require that the bonds should
ceve the sanction of fifty per cent of the voters of
the district. We do not suppose that in all the his
tory Of bond elections, many fifty per cent Of
the voters of any jurisdiction have appeared the
polls for against bond proposition. We
conceive a condition in which fifty per
ri the a district might possess the
necessary property qualification to vote a bond
election.
Voters always apaihetic in such matters.
and do not believe that they would be rendered
any the less by such amendment has been
proposed. Bonds however urgent the need of them
might be, would never be voted. The need of Phoe
nix District No is especially urgent.
