They stopped at the Chandler Hotel all night, pro ceeding on their way the next morn ing.
 Wednesday, the culvert on the road leading south. near the E. E. Morrison place. was washed out leav- ing a deep hole. but on account of the water flowing over the road it could not be seen. MT. Jack Payne. the mail carrier between Chandler and Hansen Junction. drove into the washout but. beyond wetting. no damage was done.

Auto, Horses and Last of All Feet, Required to

Wike is a driver for the F'ike Auto line. Two men wanted to go to Globe last Saturday. In the mud and water following the all night rain and in the midst of Saturdays steady downpour, they started out. Fortunately Cor un- fortunately for them. Wilkie thought they really wanted to reach Globe. so he proceeded to put them through, and he did for they arrived at their des- tination on Wednesday noon Here follows the means whereby they trav- eled. They reached Pine creek Satur- day, but finding it impossible Wilke brought them back to Fish Creek where they could find accommodations. After staying at the latter place for two days, he started with them for Pine Creek again. secured some horses, crossed the creek on horseback and reached the big slides beyond, and which had rendered the road impass-
 able except for foot passengers. For tunately all the party were supplied with feet so they walked over the muddy and much disturbed road until
 
 was hung up on the other side Never did an auto look so good to any set of weary wayfarers and they climbed in and were safely delivered at Roose- welt. But Roosevelt isn't Globe and to Globe they were going. Into motor boat and up the lake to the farther end | where waited another auto and on into Globe. It took them only from Sat urday morning to Wednesday morning to reach their destination but the inn portant fact is. that they got there It was up to Wiike to get back. Well ne reached Mesa at two D. m. yesterday and he was some mud from head to foot. The water was over the body of I the car at Tortilla but Mexican hitched on with a team of horses and pulled him out. There is one thing about Arizona passengers and drivers. a little thing like the past storm may tie up railroads and wash out a few | bridges, but Arizona folks usually get to where they start.

It will be some time before all of the ranchers who were driven from their homes because of the flooded condition of the Salt River. will be back on their land and situated as before. Several of the ranchers on the river east of here have already made trips of investigation to their proper ties, but the land is generally so boggy that travelling over it with any loads or any great distance will be out of the question for a few days yet. Most of the homes were situated on high ground and it is thought that the most of these passed through the high water stage unharmed.
