Florence, Aug. 9-High water in the
Gila river, which washed out sew
eral stretches of track on the Arizona

QUEEN CREEK
RACES; FLOOD
HITS SUPERIOR

Bridges and buildings at Superior
were washed away and the water sup
ply system of the camp practically
destroyed by Tuesday mornings cloud
burst and the ensuing flood. Queen
Creek rapidly turned into torrent,
carried out the bridge of the Superior
and Arizona Mining Company at the
mouth of the Apache canyon, washed
out telegraph and telephone poles, took
out two spans of a bridge On the Mag
ma Arizona railroad and carried out
over twenty feet of the approach to
the Magma avenue bridge at Super
ior
Magma park at Superior was hard
hit by the storm. Large shade trees
many of them of long standing, were
swept away by the torrent and the
place is said to be almost a barren
waste Cows and chickens were
drowned while in numerous instances
people living in the lowlands were
forced to abandon their homes in
haste and to watch their belongings
swept away.
Over 1000 feet of water main was
destroyed, leaving the people of Su-
perior dependent on private wells.
The large three-inch steel pipes were
bent and twisted by the current. The
pumping plant was submerged and
put out of commission.
Between thirty and forty tons of
ore which had been piled up prep
paratory to hauling to the railroad
were swept away from the L. S. & A.
ground along the banks of Queen
Creek. The ore, much of which ran
as per cent copper was the property
of VIM. Wall and others, who are op-
Grating under lease. 1t was strewn
along the creek bed for mile or two
down stream. The loss is estimated
at $4,000.

LIEUT.. GREEN
BOMBING HUNS

The following dispatch from Bing-
ham, Utah, to the Copper Camp is
of interest to the many friends of
Lieut. Green. who left Ray last year
to enter the aviation service:
BINGHAM, Aug. 3.-Lieutenant Eu-
gene T. Green, formerly chief clerk
at the Boston Consolidated mine, now
an aviator with the famous Lafayette
esquadrille in France, has few Hun
planes to his credit, according TO
word received by his brother, Judge
John C. Green, today. He has been
flying over the German lines since
August %, last, and has had many
thrilling experiences.
The letter contains an account OF
a bombing expedition in which Lieu
tenant Green participated June 18.
Returning after raid in enemy
territory, on that date, he found his
quarters, as we'll as those of all the
other offices, reduced to powder. The
demolition had been accomplished by
the German GOtbas from the air
Il assure you the Germans will pay
for that trick tonight" writes Green,
"even though we don't get the man
who is responsible, some of them
will pay"
Lieutenant Green was obliged to 60
to Paris for an outfit, as everything
he owned was lost.
81 am here in Paris trying to find
something to wear, for even in July,
one can't fly without clothes and
must go out again tonight" he
writes.
Green is the youngest brother OF
Judge Green.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGISTRATION
UNDER EXTENDED DRAFT AGES ARE
ALREADY ISSUED TO LOCAL BOARDS

commissioners and custodians or of
ficers in charge of election machinery
and public buildings. When voting
boothsN are available, arrangements
should be made for their use together
with such equipment as is usually
supplied for use in registering voters.
Where the customary voting places
are in private buildings, proprietors
should be requested to afford assist
ance to local authorities by permit
ting the use of such places for pur-
poses of registration.
The presidents proclamation to be
issued upon the passage of the act
by congress will fix the date for reg
istration and the adjutant general or
draft executive of each state will be
furnished in advance with necessary
blanks and forms to condact regis
tration.
Local boards should obtain the CO.
operation of the political Organiza-
tions, county councils of national de-
fense, committees on public safety and
similar agencies within the jurisdic-
ton to assist in bringing about COM
plete registration.
The task confronting the state or
ganization and the local boards Is
known to be great one, but it is
confidently expected that the national
draft organization will respond to the
call and make all preliminary arrange
ments for the registration in order
that there may be no delay in regis

draft upon the passage of the neces-
sary legislation and the issuance of

of supervisors asking that road bend
election be called for the purpose of
voting $125,0OO for the construction of
highways in that county has been pre-
sented/ by the county attorney follow
ing the filling of the necessary pc
titions. The prospect of this sum be-
ing expended in the county to the
south is of interest to Pinal county
for the reason that it is proposed to
spend $4,000 in improving the road
from Tucson to the Pinal county line
in the direction of Casa Grande.
Residents of Casa Grande and the
southern part of the county are watch
ing developments in Pima county's

PHOENIX, Aug 9-More than
wice as many murders were commit
ed in Maricopa county during the 18
months period ending June 80, 1918,
than in any corresponding length of
time since statehood, according to rec
ords on file in the office of Sheriff W.
IH. Wilky Likewise, MaricOpa has
had more murders since the abolish
ment of capital punishment than any
other two counties in the state COM
bined, Sheriff Wilky pointed out.
Up to and including June 80 total
sof 25 murders had been committed in
this county since January 1, 1917. The
percentage of apprehensons has been
Exceptionally large, however, only two
of the 25 murderers having so far
escaped arrest.

P|NAL COUNTY MAN
GASSED BY B0cHE;;
IS NOW RECOVERING

Florence, Aug 9.-John Pruitt, one
of Pinal county's boys now serving his
country at the front, was gassed in
one of the recent drives, and is now
in the hospital, according to letter
from him this week. Pruitt, who is
one of Uncle Sans marines, was up
in the front of the attack, when the
boche began sending over lot of gas
shells, one of which fell unpleasantly
near. Pruitt was totally blinded for
a time, but is now on the way to. re-
covery, and will soon be able, he
hopes, to go at them again. He is full
of praise for the excellent hospital
attention and care he has been re-
ceiving.
Pruitt enlisted in the marines last
spring We predict that Fritzie will
hear a lot more from John before the
war is over.

Salaries of county officials will be
increased automatically on January
1st next, when Pinal county steps
from a county of the second class to
a county of the first class. The change
is due to the increase in the as
sessed valuation from below $5O,OOO,-
900 to above that figure, the fifty mil
lion dollar mark being the dividing
line between the two classes of coun-
ties. Pinal county's valuation last
year was between 46 and At millions,
this year it is over S62,000O0O.
Nearly all county onicials are af-
fected by the increase in salaries, and
naturally are anxious for the increase
to take effect as soon as possible.
Some of them have asked the county
attorney for an opinion as to whether
the increase does not become enec-
tive Immediately, others are inclined
to the view that as the salary of a
county official cannot be raised or
lowered during his term of office that
the increase will not take place until
the first of the year.
The county officials affected, with
the increase in their salaries brought

head and breaking his arm in two
different places Before passing SEN
tence Judge Franch told him that ne
was letting him off very easy that
a charge could be placed against him
for violating the Espionage Act, but
on account of his age, which is but
nineteen years, the Judge overlooked
it and thought that he did not really
intend to violate such an act but thai
it was merely a quarrel over money.

RAY IS SWEPT BY DISASTROUS FLOOD
AS MINERAL CREEK GOES ON RAMPAGE
DAMAGE ESTIMATED At NEAR $4,000

solidated mines were promptly on
lay of about four days is expected,
before the road can resume opera
tions. Work in the mines, while it is
not at standstill, is sufficiently halted
to cause considerable monetary loss.
The deflectors, installed by the Ray
Consolidated Copper company to pro-
tect their machine shop, railroad
yards, warehouse, power plant and
compressor room, stood up we'll under
the deluge The seriousness Of the
food may be the more readily real
lied, when one considers that the
water began rushing over the top of
the breakwater, that had been in
stalled at tremendous cost, to take
care of every possible flood contin-
gency. For a time the situation looked
serious, but the yards were saved from
destruction by the. spreading of the
waters over wide area between the
business section Of the town and the
general offices.
No damage was done to the new
Arizona Hercules bridge, connecting
that company's ore bin with the Ray
& ella Valley R. R. The footbridge
under this structure, which in the
past has served to connect the AM
erican Townsite with the town, was
al Ctri
this bridge were for some time caught
under the footbridge of the Ray Con-
solidated Copper company leading to
their No. 1 yard Several intrepid
employees managed, at the risk OF
life and limb to kick the stringer
free; but for their action, serious
damage and considerable loss would
have occurred at the yard bridge.
Two tanks filled with fuel oil, the
property of the Arizona Hercules Cop
per Co., were demolished. Oil was
carried to the top of the hill leading
to the Ray Con General offices. A
large boiler, which had been in the
rear of the Ray Motor company's plant
was carried a distance Of about 200
yards.
Loo Chung, the genial green grocer,
has the good fortune of having a large
cottonwood in front of his store. This
tree has saved his property more than
once, and stood him in good stead
this time. The tree defects the cur
rent in such a manner as to cause
the flood to pass his store on each
side, without harming the property
Mail and express service was seri-
ously hampered by washout on the
Arizona Eastern r. R., several miles
by stage; incoming mail was brought
in on the first train, two days after
the flood. Express and freight was
delayed for longer period. Restaur-
ants, confectionery stores, ETC., suf-
fered for the lack of supplies, usu-
ally sent by express from Phoenix. On
Thursday it was next to impossible
to Obtain fresh meat in the restaur-
ants, milk, eggs or butter, while ice
cream would have been worth it's
weight in gold
Teamwork on the part of Rayites
made far pleasanter situation out OF
this disaster. With stick-to-it and
get-together- feeling, everyone CO.
operated in the relief of the afflicted.
Motor cars were restored to their
rightful owners, homeless ones were
cared for, pedestrians were carried to
their homes by auto and teams. Rapid
progress is being made toward COM
plete reconstruction and repair OF the
damage sdone.
