Seeking a way in which Maricopa county might avail itself of the pro- visions of the Smith-Lever bill and acquire a farm advisor under the de- partment of agriculture, representa- tives of the Maricopa Farm Improve ment Association and the Maricopa Development Association met with Dean E. H. Forbes, of the University of Arizona agricultural school and D. W. Working, of the states relations service of the U. $. n. A
 The conference yesterday was held at the Chamber of Commerce. and after it was over members expressed the lively hope that a farm advisor would be secured.
 Messrs. Forbes and Working came up from Tucson for the conference. expecting that now the season is right and members of the association back | from their vacations. some quick action | could be taken in this matter.

CAVE CREEK AGAIN MENACE WHEN CANAL SYSTEM FAILS
 TOCARRY OFF FLOOD WATER

the threatening aspect of the Cave Creek situation.
 The break in the Joint Head canal, q short distance below the dam, was
 caused by the heavy tax of waters in
 the Grand canal on the comparatively
 soft earthen wall that separates the
 two ditches at that point. MT. Cone
 announced that the situation was in
 hand there.
 A foot of water was flowing over
 Granite Reef dam yesterday afternoon, and the condition of the Verde river was unknown. The rain here was of such nature as to lead one to believe it was general, so it is quite probable that the Verde will come in with a big l flood.
 | For a while there was a three foot 1 head of water flowing through the | CrOsscut power house. The water washed all the oil out of some | storage tanks and compelled the en- ] gineers to close the plant for time | pending the replenisning of the oil supply. Lightning on the Roosevelt
 transmission line caused minor dis arrangements of power supply, and , also put the telephone to the dam out I of commission.

ARIZONA TROOPS
 ARE NOW AT NACO

Official word has been received at the office of Adjutant General Charles W. Harris to the effect that the en- tire Arizona regiment of infantry has been assembled at Naco. Company M of Morenci which has been at the Roosevelt dam, and Company l. of Flagstaff. which has been at Casa Grande, have arrived in camp, and for the first time in months, the whole regiment is assembled in the same camp.
 Although no official word has heen sent out as to the meaning of the movement. it is surmised by those
 well informed that it is for the pur- pose of giving the men and officers training in regimental tactics. Since
 the arrival of the First Arizona in fantiv an the border in May. it has
 been split up into small attachments all the way from Roosevelt to Fort | Huachuca
 | It is not known when the regiment will be mustered out, but it is the general opinion in well informed cir cles that 1t will be one of the last
 ones to leave the federal service. The numbers of the Arizona organization 1 have been sadly depleted in the past
 few days. Several hundred men leav 1 ing camp. having either served their
 time, or being the heads of dependent | families.

Carrying an unknown quantity of
 flood water, Cave Creek registered a

 o'clock. when it flung itself into the
 Arizona canal and backed up a sheet
 of water, invading the store and other
 buildings at the crossing of the Black Canyon road. This and the flooding of the Crosscut power plant, a small | break in the banks of the Joint Head

Newport News, Va, Feb. 1.
THE British passenger liner
Appam, which has been missing
for some time, arrived off
Hampton Roads early this
morning flying a German flag.
1t is said a prize crew from
German submarine is in charge
of the vessel.
The Appam's name has been
painted out on the liner, but
was plainly visible on the life
boats. A large number of pas
sengers are aboard, including
women and British colonial of
ficers.
The ship is commanded by
German prize crew of twenty
two men under Lieutenant
Berg.
The Appam was captured off
Canary Islands, January Is,
four days after leaving Dakar,
British Africa, en- route to
Plymouth, England. The YES
sci carries the original passen-
gers and one hundred and thir-
ty-eight persons, who are said
to have been taken from other
vessels by the Germans, and
carries a total of four hundred
and twenty-five with the crew.
No one was permitted to
board the ship or go ashore,
and small boats can't go to the
vessels side.
The vessel entered port un-
der the name "His Majesty's
Ship Appam," Indicating that
the Germans may contend that
the vessel is a German auxiliary
cruiser.
