 In the surrounding country roads were rendered impassable. trucks and autos were stalled in hub deep mud and traffic in general was suspended. Among the farms severe and in some cases total losses of hay and cotton crops were reported, as well as minor losses in poultry and stock.
 Cave Creek Suffers. The greatest damage was sustained by the Cave Creek and New Black Canyon district where losses .have been estimated at s100.000. This enormous loss was caused greatly by the Arizona Canal, which washed out it's banks in several places. flooding the surrounding country, destroying crops, drowning stock and barnyard | fowl and even sweeping away homes and buildings causing a loss of hun dreds of dollars fin property. 1 ''The broom corn crop is total loss, | declared MT. Smiley, residing on the | John Kibbey place on the Black Canyon l road. He stated further that the water was waist deep over his ten acre tract of broom corn and young olive trees. With the aid of a neighbor F. l.. Free land. he succeeded in saving his sheep and calves by herding them into his screen porch.
 Loses Cotton Crop. Reports from MT. Townsend, who lives on the Attaway farm. one-quar- ter of mile south and quarter of a mile west of the Cave Creek and Black ] Canyon roads. say that he lost an en- 1 tire 40-acre field of cotton, and that quite likely the adjoining 40-acre tract of cotton on the Russell Pugh farm was also destroyed.
 Losses in fences. young trees and ditches were sustained by E. l.. Frec- land. who is located one mile soutn of the junction of the roads.
 H. C. Lockett residing three quar- ters of mile south of the road junc- ton. reports that his entire: farm was completely flooded and that undoubted l ly his losses are heavy. though he 1 hasn't as yet been able 10 determine the exact mount.
 An estimated loss of s400 was sus- tained by the Elwell Brothers store al the bridge on the Black Canyon read | The store was under six inches oi water even though it is built up three feet and a half from the ground.

WOMAN AND FOUR
 CHILDREN RESCUED
 FROM WATERY CRAVE

With four small children almost neck high in water, Mrs. J. w. Taylor. who conducts a small ranch on the Camelback road between Central and North Seventh avenue, was rescued from the flood last night by Sheriff W. H. Wilky and Deputy Sheriffs Ed War. ren and J. E. O'Neil and brought to Phoenix. where they were housed and cared for.
 Waters from the break in the Ari- zona canal that started to pour into the district early in the evening bore down upon the tent house occupied by Mrs. Taylor and her children. Mrs Taylor made a frantic effort to gather up her belongings. especially clothes.s but before she could do so, the water rose to such a height that it was i'm possible for her to escape the flood with her children.
 Shouts and cries of distress attracted neighbors out in an effort to fight back the n-rushing waters and they attempted to make their way to the house. One however. telephoned the sheriff's office and the officer rushed to the scene in high powered auto mobile.
 They went as far as they could in the machine and then waded to the house. where they gathered up the woman and the four children and carried them to the automobile. Nothing was saved from among the household effects. Both Mrs Taylor and the children were soaked to the skin and had to be provided with dry clothing upon reach ing the city

PARADISE VALLEY
 TURNS INTO LAKE

The storm in Paradise Valley section north of Socttsdale. is described by eye witnesses to have been furious" black. low lying clouds sriven by con- tinuous lightning while the rain descended in veritable cloudburst. The whole of Paradise Valley north of the Arizona canal was a lake, in which the isolated houses of the homestead CTS seemed 10 float forlornly. while their small agricultural treasures went off in the flood.
 Most of Paradise Valley is drained by a wash that crosses the line of the Ari- zona canal east of Scottsdale. at what is known as Indian Bend. Here the reclamation service placed an elabor- ate set of sluicing gates. which were opened by canal employees as soon as the danger became maDifest. Beside the gates. as a measure of added safety, the south canal bank had been de- pressed and cement covered for dis tance of 400 feet By II o'clock the gates were spouting. water and the safety sluice was deep under the flow that proved even too much for the seemingly ample provision made. for several breaks occurred in the south canal bank to the westward.
 Soon Raging Torrent
 Southward from the Indian Bend headgates extends narrow valley that continues on to the Salt river. at a point several miles above Tempe. This vale. from quarter mile to mile wide. soon was a raging torrent in it's center, where the water was all of 20 feet deep and a troubled lake on the IT overwhelmed and where riches were lost in an hour by a score of farmers. Possibly the most graphic tale that came from this locality was that of Perry Covan. formerly of Hanny's. who had a fine S0-acre farm, with 20 acres in alfalfa and the balance in what he called the prize crop of cotton in f all the Salt River valley" This morn | ing he may have 15 acres of cotton l left. but of that he is not sure. Even his fences have gone and his haystacks both swept across his cotton field. levelng plants as they went. T don't believe the water alone would have done such damage" he explained. You see it brought every sort of debris with it. including about 15 stands of bees a hopeful bee man had placed nearby and which he has lost, just when honey is money
 Live Stock May Die
 Scores of horses. mainly work stock. l of milk COWS and of hogs were caught by the flood and the farmers first bent their efforts to saving these animals Rut when darkness settled down and | the stream still was a quarter of a mile wide. many horses and COWS still | were begged needing help and likely to perish.

Arizona canal served to fence it back from it's natural flow southward to- ward Salt river.
 With the desert filled, the high canal banks had to give way. deep crevasses cut where the irrigation system en- gineers acco1nmodatingly had left a number of dips" at points where the least damage might be done. Then oc- cured most of the damage, for the dis trict below the canal is one of fairest in the valley, filled with orange groves. alfalfa pastures and cotton fields.

The atrocities il BELGIUM, the i'll
