covers the meadows. Just how
much damage has been done to
this dyke will not be known un-
Til the water goes down but it will
have to be built higher in order
to be a safeguard against floods
like the present. The dyke from
Buffers Bay down the river is re-
ported to be i'm excellent condi-
tion and is standing the strain
remarkably we'll, showing no
sign of a break.
It is stated that the work Of re-
pairing the Meadowhurst dyke
will be started at once. Cars
callen Bros. have their dredge at
work dyking near Mission Point
and it is understood that the plan
is to drive piling in front Of the
break and put the steam shovel
at work filling up the gap. When
this is accomplished it will take
only a short time to pump out the
water remaining on the fiat. IF
this can be done at once the dam
age will be slight outside of the
expense of repairing the dyke.
The connning of the water an
the channel of the river by the
numerous dykes which have beer
lbuilt and are being built along its
banks is going to increase LII
danger of damage from hO4d'
and will make it necessary q
build the dykes considerably
higher than the present higf
water marks.

Dairying Makes
PIummer Prosperous
500 COWS ARE OWNED IN VICINITY
Bank Assists Farmers in Getting Started and
Doubles Deposits

G. M. Kraemer, cashier and
general manager of the State
Bank of Plummer, was a bust
ness visitor in this city Wednes-
day. He states that business is
good in his town and is cOntiual-
ly improving. He bases his judg-
ment in regard to business con-
ditions there to a great extent
upon the deposits in the bank and
this is a very good criterion to
go by.
The general deposits in the
bank, he says, have nearly
doubled in the last year and now
amount to about 100000. He
attributes this increased pros
perity almost entirely to the fact
that the settlers of that vicinity
have gone into dairying and hay
raising to a considerable extent.
This has been possible because
OF the policy of the bank to aid
the farmers along these lines. The
hOmesteaders in that locality
were in a position where they did
not have the means to put in cows
although they recognized the pos
sibility of the country for dairy
ing.
Then the bank stepped in. Mr..
Kraemer, the manager, believed it
would be good business policy for
the bank to assist the farmers. tie
believed that by bringing in cows,
selling them to the farmers and
taking their notes in payment he
could not only aid the farmers but
help the bank as we'll by increas-
ing its business. The results
have proved the correctness of
his judgment. Over eighty
thousand dollars has been in
vested in COWS there and the re-
suits have been most satisfactory.
The farmers are making money,
are paying for the cows they
started with and are buying more.
Now there are more than five
hundred COWS in the immediate
vicinity of Plummer and it is ex-
pected that this number will be
increased to fifteen hundred in
the near future.
The entire community is shar-
ing in this success of the farmer.
The merchants are enjoying an
increased business and the bank
has nearly doubled its deposits
and has not lost a cent on the
money invested in COWS. Recent
ly Mr.. Kraemer has started a cam
paign to interest the farmers in
hogs. After the butter fat has
been separated from the milk, the
milk that remains makes excellent
feed for hogs and it is his idea
to induce the farmers to go in
to hog raising in connection will
their dairying. Many Of the farm
ers in that vicinity are trying i
and are meeting with excellen
results.
The bank assists them in get.
ting started in the same manner
it is assisting in getting COWS an'
the result will be that long before
all of the timber and wOOd,swhicl
was at first the only source Of in
come to the settlers, is dispOse'
of Plummer will be the center o
rich and thriving farming com
munity. We believe that Othe
communities could very proft
ably follow the example being Sc
by Plummer.

This is as the people of the state decide. it is optional. Whether or not the Arizona branch will take in beth sexes is yet to be decided.
 The National Hughes Alliance rec ognizes no party factions, 1t being fer Charles Evans Hughes alone. In states Where there are party fights, the alliance is taking no part.
 Miss Rhodes accompanied Gov ernor Hughes for eight days in his tour of the Pacific coast She heard every speech the candidate made and is exceedingly enthusiastic over the reception he has been receiving in the west She explained last night. that she had been a progressive in rolitics, but rallied to the Hughes banner as soon as he was nominated believing with thousands of other progressves that he is the man for the place. Miss Rhodes is no stranger to Ari- Zona. About fifteen years ago she was the guest of Mrs. J. H McChn- tock in Phoenix. thereafter making a comprehensive tour of the whole southwest. from the Grand Canyon down into Sonora, accomplishing ma terial for lectures later delivered over the east. She is an enthusiast over the attractions of the southwest, so little understood or appreciated else where and she is happy to get back once more.
 It is probable that she will be heard at the republican club meeting Mon- day night on the roof garden of the Jefferson. She is an eloquent and interesting talker, bringing an inn portant message to the Arizonans wko believe change should be made in the presidency and the policies that now control the nation. She has many local friends who have greeted her return with keen pleasure.
