Sam Y. Bar1ey, member of the board of appraisers of the office of the land commission, arrived in the city Wednesday by automobile from Tucson after having secured a bad start Just as he got under way again some distance this side of Tucson a rain set in gently at first but it soon became driving. When he climbed tho mesa on way to Oracle Barllley ran into the prettiest snow storm he eves saw and it grew prettier all the way until he reached Oracle where a depth of eight inches had fallen. But drop ping down from Oracle he left the snowstorm behind him and at a dis tanCe it looked more beautiful than ever.
 The rain continued violently all the way as he approached the valley. But the desert roads were good and he was dreadinE the roads of the valley. He was pleased to find though when he reached them that there had been just enough rain to lay the dust.

RAIN WON'T STOP
 NEW YEARS DANCE
Indications Are That Cooks and Walters Ball Will
 Be Success

No matter how many inches of rain may fall before this evening, it will not be enough to dampen the enthusi- asm or lessen the cheer which will perVade Patricks hall on the occasion of the fourth annual ball of the Cooks and Walters union, Local No. 631. Each year that organization has fur nished an opportunity for the lovers of dancing to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new by indulg- ing in their favorite winter amuse- ment. This year plans have been made for the most enjoyable of any of these affairs yet given. and judging from the number of tickets which all ready have been sold. the floor will be comfortably filled tonight.
 The committee which has had in hand the work of preparation has worked earnestly-so hard, in fact, that the chairman, Dave Grey, became ill and has been confined to his bed for two days. He believes he will be able physically to attend the ball, however. His workers, Jack Shel- ton and Bert Wernli, have been equally industrious.
 In addition to music especially se lected by the Besse orchestra, the ex- cellent condition of the floor and the holiday decorations, there will be a notable feature in the refreshments. Three hundred sandwiches. with varied contents, have been furnished by Leon R. Gass of Gass Bros Chop House. and these, of course, will be up to the Gass standard. The Wakelin Grocery Company has also offered to contrib ute to the eats. and the drinks.
 So there will be nothing lacking to make the New Years Eve ball of the Cooks and Walters Union one of the most successful and pleasurable of the many social events which charac- terize the New Year season.
