 ID CELEBRATION
Joe Prochaska Brings Word of New Stunts Proposed By Gila Committee = Barges and Motor Boats on Reservoir

With the coming to Phoenix of Joe V. ProchasAa of Miami. repre- senting the arrangements committee of Gila county in the joint High Wa ter celebration at Roosevelt on the fifteenth instant. the plans for the unique and historical celebration took such a step forward as was hardly guessable by the local end of the committee prior to Mir. Prochaska's arrival The Gila county man en- tered at once into the committee meetings here and told what Gila county had already done. and then proposed to help in all possiblesw with the local end of the matter. So President Fennimore of the Chamber of Commerce and Prochaska got busy at once and the following is the re- i suit. Look at it. Think about it. ! Better still-make up your mind to go and help make the celebration great
 l The program events occupied the attention of the committee from the 1 first and after several suggestions it was decided to anchor a decorated barge on tne Idke near cHouSu tO the great dam so that the spectators could stand upon the dam and on the sides of the hills immediately adjoining. and in this natural amphi- theater listen to the voices of the speakers from the barge. This is probably the most unique stunt ever conceived for a speaking stand or for a celebration. The program will not be of more than thirty minutes duration, short and snappy, terminat- ing just in time for the crowds to attend and enjoy an immense barbe- cue prepared by the Gila county committee. The beeves and sheep have already been bought for the feast and on Saturday MT. Pro- chaska will proceed to superintend the digging of the roasting pits.
 Another feature that will surprise those who attend the big doings, will lake, and the pleasure trips over the lake during the stay. Barges have been fixed up, or will be for this while the motor boats will ply up the forks of the creek for nearly seventy miles altogether. It is not generally known that the trip can be made up the Salt River from the dam nearly twenty miles, and up the Tonto thirty For those who can make these trips will find one of the greatest surprises imaginable
 Those who make the journey from Phoenix are requested to take along I
 plates for the barbecue. Plenty of food will be furnished but there will not be sufficient utensils upon which to serve it. Should any decide to make the journey the day before it is likely that additional bedding will be needed.

The wires were crossed or cen tral made mistake while the reporter yesterday was engaged in informing a waiting public regarding the progress of the Johnson Willard fight. After the sixth round there appeared to pc a Hull in the proceedings at Ha- vana and the reporter had fal- len into the habit of seizing the telephone at the slightest signal and droning into it Johnson in the lead at the end of the sixth.

 Of the hundreds of calls re- ceived at the Republican office during the night, fully a third came from women.

Johnson's left eye was partly closed in to interfere with his fighting His lip was also cut inside and his famous golden smile flasfed from very red setting.
 The end of the fight came with a suddenness that dazed the spectators It followed two or three rounds of all most complete idleness on the part of the coptestants and the crowd settled down to long drawn out struggle, be- iieving it would go the full limit of forty five rounds without either being able to register a knockout.
 Johnson's Early Speed The early rounds were filled with flash es of Johnsons former wonderful speed when he would rain rights and lefts to Willard's body and face, delivering ten blows to one of the big white challen- gers. Through all this time, Willard was strictly on the defensive and on i occasions Johnson played with him, once standing with his guard down. letting Willard swing at him, only to dodge and laugh at the awkwardness of his opponent.
 Willard said before entering the ring that he expected to take beating for ten or fifteen rounds at the hands of l his faster and more skilled opponent and that he had trained to withstand it. As a matter of fact, he did take
 twenty rounds of severe punishment but laughed the blows aside and kept | standing up against the rushes of the
 negro, who several times in each of the
 earlier rounds swept Willard before 1 him to the ropes. Willards back
 showed numerous welts raised by the
 ropes.

QUOTES DOLLAR
HIGHER ON STEEL
Galvanized Sheets Touch 3.75c,
Pittsburgh, as Minimum
Buys Heavy Steel.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 19.-The
Carnegie Steel Co. is notifying it's
statesmen to quote 1850, Pittsburgh,
on plates, shapes and steel bars, this
quotation being 81 ton higher than
the previously prevailing figure.
The general market on finished lines
Of iron and steel is strong but some
slight quotation irregularities con-
tinue feature in some sections. The
steady decline in the quotation for
spelter is causing an increase in sheet
mill rate Of operations as we'll as re-
ducing the galvanized sheet quotation
for this material now is being offered
as minimum Of 3.75c, Pittsburgh.
The Carnegie Steel Co. has been
buying some heavy melting steel in
the Pittsburgh scrap market but no
individually large tonnages of this
material have been taken by this
interest.

great granger sections of the coun-
try. Still another fundamental no
longer is merely to be hoped fort
is here now, namely the overwhelm-
ing abundance of money in the banks
and elsewhere.
The country is entering that period
usually the most active season for
money, when crops are to be financed.
The New York banks and trust COM
panies have surplus Of no less than
$166, 100000 above reserve require
ments, while year ago there was a
deficit of 100000. Last year, of
course, general finance was democrat
lied as result of the outbreak OF
the war. Also the old form OF bank
statement was in force, requiring 20
per cent of deposits as against IL
per cent lin New York; under the
new law. Nevertheless, the money is
available for all legitimate purposes
in the form Of bank loans in spite
of the difference in the form Of state
mena. Banking circles believe the
money supplies are more likely to in
crease than decrease. That's why they
are giving little thought this year to
crop financing. It's been taken care
of already. The surplus reserves do
not include the huge balances that
have accumulated in our favor abroad
as the result of the heavy excess of
our exports-largely war material
over imports. The importation OF
100000 of British government gold
last week is an indication of what
will continue to come along unless
England finds it practicable to estab-
lish large credits in this country to
pay for war materials which are be-
ing purchased more actively from our
manufacturers.
But there is one fly in the ointment,
and has been for some time constantly
growing larger. This is the pro-
nounced weakness in sterling ex-
change, rates making new low rec
ord for 40 years last week, at level
of $3.50. The par of exchange is
around $4.86. The discount of II
cents in the pound is more than
startling. Europe is calling more
and more loudly and insistently for
American food and munitions. Ship
ments Of the latter are just beginning
on the orders taken months ago and
have not yet reached their full swell.

lures, for instance, were valued at

NEW YORK, Aug. developments
against the large orders for steel rails
recently placed with the mills in this
country are going forward rapidly.
A lot of 1000 tons, which is thought
to be one Of the largest single ship
ments of rails ever made from the
United States, is leaving New York
by way of the Panama canal. These
rails are being supplied by the Lack

taken some time ago and previously
noted. The steamer Minnesota left
Seattle Aug. 6 for Viadivostok, with
5000 tons Of rails for the Trans
Siberian railroad. These rails were
rolled by the Steel Corporation mills.
Official announcement now is made
of the conclusion of the arrangements
for the manufacture Of the 100000
tons of rails for Russia which had
been credited to the Cambria Steel
Co., details of which were outlined
several days ago. Under arrange
