AFTERREFLECT|S ON ON
 ST. JOHNS DISASTER

Phoenix, Arizona, April 18th. Many members of the Second State Legislature are interesting themselves ins plans to afford some measure of relief to the stricken people of Apache County who lost their all by the recent breaking of the Lyman Reservoir near St. Johns.
 When it is realized that eight lives were lost andproperty valu- ed at nearly one-half million dol lars was destroyed, the magni- tude of the disaster may be part ially comprehended.
 With this property loss falling almost entirely on men without means, settles who had pinned their faith to this project for a redemption of the desert waste in order that they might build homes for themselves and their families, the awfulness of the disaster and the necessity for re- lief may be fully understood.
 But little concerning the incep- tion and destruction of the Ly- man Reservoir has bsen told, ow- ing to the distance from railway and telegraphic communication. Senator Fred T. Colter of Apache County tells a very interesting and vivid story of the happening. he said:
 Many people to whom 1 have talked concerning the breaking of the Lyman Reservoir were un- der the impression that the dis aster could have been averted had proper care been taken. Such, however, is not the case. From the time the Reservoir started to fill, it has never been without guards or inspectors. Men of ex- perience have always been there to give warning at the first inti- nation danger.
 ''On the night that the Reser- voir broke, two well known citiz- ems of our county were in charge. Two inspections of the dam were made. Shortly after the watchers had visited the dam at 1000 o'clock the roar of the bursting dam was heard. MT. A. M. Pat ton, who was one of the guards, rushed to a telephone in an effort to reach and warn the people of St. Johns. Communication could not be secured however and it was not until sometime later that connection was had with Spring erville and the frantic appeal of MT. Patton will ever be remem- bered in the history of our county. He said, "The Lyman Reservoir has broken. I am unable to do any more as the house is moving. For Heavens sake get St. Johns.
 MT. Patton accompanied by several other citizens then start ed on a wild run down the Canyon telling the people of the impend- ing danger. When within two miles of St. Johns the water could be seen all over the low lands and they knew it was of no use to go. farther. The water reached St. Johns at 100 o'clock in the morning and many of the citizens living near the river were forced to hustle out of their warm beds and plunge into the cold waters that were more than knee deep. The water swept on in it's relentless course, taking out all of the bridges on the State Highway, including those at St. Johns and Hunt and two bridges above and below Holbrook.
 1 cannot tell you just what a hardship the destruction of this Reservoir will work on the people of our county. They have ex- hausted their resources, their roOnav and crodit. thair orro1xi,oo

Phoenix at Tucson.

TUCSON. April 27.-Tucson won the opening game of the Rio Grande League this afternoon by defeating Phoenix 10 to ,. in a loosely played game which became slugfest. Tue son made errors when there was nothing at stake but the Phoenicians made most of their errors or over throws at times when they should have been playing tight ball.
 Phoenix lacked team work and many Tucson runs were due to plac- ing hit in unprotected territory V hile the Fhoenicians stood around waiting for somebody else to get there Nobody is home and the ball falls on the ground. then all rush for it and get in each others road. The star bonehead occurred in the seventh when Fuller sent an infild Erounder twisting along the third base line.

 The crowd witnessed the whole affair and while approving of Kane's action showed it's appreciation of the good work of Fuller by taking up a collection and when the team went to the bench at the end of the in ming. handed him the five they had collected.

 LAKE IN SEASON
Only Restriction Are Those Inter- posed as Game and Fish Laws; Seasons and Tools Under
 Governments Eye

There is no restriction on fish ing in the Roosevelt Lake.
 The impression has gotten out that the reclamation service is curbing the Ike Walton tendencies of the dwell lers hereabout, but that's not true Project Manager C. H. Fitch says it isn't.
 The only things to mind while angling in the reservoir or in any of it's tributaries, are the state and federal game and fish laws. They only restrict fishing insofar as the seasons and tools are concerned. No fish can be taken with nets, eX- plcsives, traps, posons or any other unsportsmanlike equipment Rod and line are permitted anywhere.
 Some of the most enthusiastic followers of Old Izaak are the small kids who used to go down to the bed of rocks below the tunnel out lets on the north side of the dam, and acquire gunny-bags full of fish every time the water is turned off.

 The way these motorcycle riders cricket about is something to make "a magnate-er-er an agents hair grow gray Now, it's l.. Boido who has made the leap, and it carried him in one bound from the Indian to the Excelsior.
 BoidO became dissatisfied with the speed he was getting out of the for mer speed-cop Indian, and deserted it to acquire the Excelsior that Joe O'Connell used to use in cleaning up on the local mile of well groomed dirt. By the same token Bill Gerig. the young Republican rider gets an Indian mount, either old Blue or one of the fast stock models kept on hand at the motorcycle shop.
 Ellie Wilson's Cyclone roadster has not arrived, nor is it known just when it will be here. After he sees what the stock machine will do, Wilson will buy a Cyclone racer, all same the one Don Johns used to do the mile in 46 seconds on the state fair track last fall. The fac tory has assured him a speed model guaranteed to do a mile straightaway in 46 seconds, and Wilson thinks that is fast enough for him.

 DAY |S SET
 FOR CONTEST
Immense Publicity Cam paign to Be Started by Huge Motorcycle Grind
 on State Fair Track on
 May Thirteenth.
BY SCOOP

Determining to bring the Moose Sanltarium to the Salt River Valley. the local lodge, No. 70S has decided upon the most amazing publicity campaign ever pulled off--With a two hundred mile motorcycle race on May 50 to start it. Into the discard went the plans for the valley race last night when Dr. Lorenzo Boido, pre- mler motorcycle Moose booster of the order got up in committee and pro posed the race. And it went big see? BIG,
 generous purse, guaranteed to reach the half thousand bean limit will attract the riders from the state. California and the east. On Decora- ton Day, few courses are open to competitions. owing to weather con ditlons, so Phoenix will be assured iart of the nationally known riders. Gov. Hunt, prominent Moose. has promised to make the day an extra legal holiday.
 The contest for the Moose sanita-- ium now lies between Arizona and New Mexico. owing to topographi- cal and climatic reasons. Phoenix is the Iavorite of the newest states, while for similar reasons, Silver City "a town of many sanitariums. is competing for New Mexicco. It is said that every business man who amounts to anything in Silver City nas joined the Moose lodge in order to help boost to get the sanitarium there.
 Phoenix has been working for the sanitaIium ever since the proposi- tiOn came uD Publicity of many sorts has been engaged in the fight to get the home located within the valle.-. But no sort of publicity has been of such a startling order as this monster motorbike meet
 Speaking of the plans Dr Boido told us last night that he expected to have thirty of the best riders in the world here If the gate per mits, ten percent will be added to the purse. which will not be less than $500. Both the turns will be safe guarded by taking down the fences both on the in and outside. Riders who tumble on the bends will roll laziiy into the deep alfalfa beds. which line the course.
 A preliminary program of short up to twenty five miles will be arranged for those who have no long race motorcycles.
 Notice of the intention of the Moose to hold the race will be sent out today all over the country Every means of bringing the name of tho Phoenix lodbe before the people in terested, will bel used in this cam paign- The theory is that every bit

 Herb Hester, manager of the Phoe- nix team who is under contract to Salt Lake. just. before the game to- day received a telegram from Blen- kenshir. manager of Salt Lake that he was suspended. Mutt took his place at first and McArdle managed the team in the field.
 Stedilli and Cox each got three hits and will split the box of cigars offered by a local store for the most hits in the game. Stedilli also won a. silk shirt offered for the first run.
 The management made a serious. error in calling the opening game the Boosters Game and charging 1 dollar admission, this meant a smaller crowd than usual but tc- morrow is the regular twenty-five cent admission and a big attendance is assured as enthusiasm is high
 All local fans admit that when the Phoenix team gets accustomed to McArdle as captain and know the ground they will give Tucson a hard game.
 Probably McCreery will pitch to- morrow.
