REGISTRATION OF WIRES HAS
 KILLED NEWS

So general and comprehensive was the prostration of telegraph and tele- phone wires yesterday and last night that The Republicans leased wire was out of commission and the report which appears this morning was re- ceived through the kindness of the Journal Miner at Prescott, supple mented by small report from Los Angeles The trouble began at 10 o'clock on Thursday night after sev- eral thousand words had been re- ceived. The report was followed by late dispatches from Los Angeles, which came by the Western Union. But yesterday and last night Western Union wires to the coast had ceased to be available.
 There was a slight chance until early yesterday evening that an out let might be established through Globe, though that would not have repaired the break in the leased wire. But then came the gap cut by the flood into the Arizona Eastern near Cochran, and after that all was silent
 in that direction. Later in the night a solitary and heavily laden Western Union wire to Los Angeles brought in a supplemental report from the coast.
 There had been some pretty serious wire trouble before. but the three wires of The Republican had managed in one way or another to overcome it, so that connection could either be maintained with San Francisco or else with Denver, and there was never an interruption of more than a few minutes with the leased wire report
 Now and then the shift from San Francisco to Denver would be made with such suddenness that a sentence of the report begun in the former would be completed in the latter On several occasions wires were rigged up between The Republican office through the north and northwest by way of Seattle.
 But on Thursday night no shift of any sort could be made and the situ- ation was not improved yesterday. but | assurance is given that unless some thing unforeseen happens the wires will be restored today.
 The most smashing trouble occurred at the Gila crossing, and that re- (Continued on Page Two)

 RIVER SUBSIDIES AND NOW BEHAVES

That the intake dam had been dam aged though, was confirmed What the amount of the damage is has not as yet been found out.
 The overflow over the SpillWays has dropped to $50 inches.
 Several great signs of relief have been heaved by officials of the reclama- tidn service. It was the luclliest thing in the world in their opinion that the flood subsided when it did. How ap- prehensive they were of a bad break in the system will never be known. But that they were severely scared is not doubted. During the entire period of danger they kept up a good front, and never even allowed the newspaper men in on the real danger.
 The power house at Roosevelt is still out of commission. Neither the build ing or machinery has been damaged Water came up a couple of feet into the building. The generators were not in any way harmed, and in a few days normal conditions will be resumed.

One more span of the Arizona East ern bridge across the Gila at Sacaton went oIt yesterday afternoon. This makes total of eight spans, or 560 feet of the big bridge gone by the board.
 The delay in the transportation of passengers over the Arizona Eastern will last but few days longer, ac- cording to Superintendent Scott.

 Water Falling
 The water of the Gila is falling fast Contrary to some reports, the Arizona Eastern bridge is not built on huge rocks placed in the river bottom.
