WAFER BEARING SNOW OVER
 ARIZONA
MUCH MOISTURE FOR IR- RIGATION IN BLANKET OF BEAUTIFUL LEFT BY MID-WINTER FALL ON ARIZONA PEAKS.

PHOENIX, Mar. 25.-Much of the heavy snowfall of December had dis appeared at the close of January, bu, the stormy weather during February increased the depths until at the end of the month the snow on the ground was about equal to that reported OH December 31st
 As compared with conditions of February 18th in other years the ac- tual depths and water content of the snow this year are much above thr average i'll the cast-central counties and near the average in other dis trictS. On the central and eastern mountain ranges the snow line is about the 6,000-foot level, the snow increasing to AS inches at about g. coo feet elevation in the Mogollon Ranges, the White and Blue Mbun talns, and to more than 70 inches near the summit of the Sierra Ancha and Graham Mountains.
 Over the upper reaches of the Yer. de watershed considerable snow re- mains on northerly slopes while southerly slopes are bare. In the plateau region of the northern part of the State very little snow remain ed, but prospects for range wate. were exceptionally good. Tn the Glla basin the ground Is bare, except i'll the higher mountains which con tain good depth of snow.
 The snow in the Sierra Ancha and White Mountain snowfall observers at Carr's Ranch stated that he was unable to reach the bottom in places, partly on account of the compact ness of the snow which he described as being practically solid ice, and partly on account of the drifts which were estimated to be fifteen feet deep
 The Forest Ranger at Eager ran ger station reported that on account ot the heavy depths it was impossi- Dle to obtain accurate measurements in the White Mountains, but that on the neadwaters of all tributaries oil the White and Black Rivers the I snow was in excess of AS inches.
 The persistent cold during the win, ter has retarded stream flow to d | considerable extent and as a result | he gain in storage water has been comparatively small. Whether there will be an adequate supply of water or all purposes will depend largely 'n the disposition of the snow. Un- Ter the influence of warm rains the now would melt rapidly, filling the treams and in turn the reservoirs to forage capacity. But, however, on ne other hand should the cold wealth T of the winter continue late into he spring and the snow melt slow 7, much of the water would be lost trough evaporation and by being bsorbed by the soil.
 It is believed that with normal bring conditions, the abundance of ompact snow in the mountains con aiming the sources of the streams |! -lbutary to the Roosevelt Reservoir Ill play such an important part in le coming spring run-off that it is easonably safe to predict that at ast an average amount of storage ater will result.

MAC VER MEETS LIEUT.. NORRIS
 0VERTHERE
PRESCoTTITES HAVE JAW FEST SIESTA IN TALK ING OVER HOME MAT TIERS; BOTH COMING BACK SOON.

Writing from Coblenz, Germany
 under date of Feb. 28, Don C. Mac
 Iver, of the Americus Overthere
 Theatre League, has the following
 to say:
 Since December g have been with the Army of Occupation in
 Germany. Had the good fortune a
 few days ago to run across Lieut.
 Herndon Norris, phoned him and he came over to the next town and saw our show. Had real mixuB in talking about everything Prescott, and it was one of the most interest ing and pleasant of occasions. Both of us got sick-that is homesick- and when we compared notes by May 1, we both expect to be back in the dear old Hassapampa town. So now it's race to see who'll get there first.
 Since coming over just 183 days ago, we have given 220 shows, o8 of which were on the front, under shell fire. We have played to IS divisions, all combat outfits, and 28 hospitals, including several hospital trains. Without egotism I believe We have an enviable record. It has been a hard six months and we all feel tired out This is our last week in Ger many, and We leave for Paris on March 4, playing the rest of the month along the Riveria, at Nice, Monte Carlo, Menton, then sailing for home about April 1.
 Word filters over to us of critic ism of the Y in the states, which is rather disappointing to us who did not have to come I think that most of those who came over in any cap lcity tried to do their best, but some fell down, as they will do in all walks of life, and even in the army. But from what I have seen along the front and up here, the Y put over a pig job pretty we'll. I believe the fellows who are bowling about not getting anything up at the front. leYer saw the front We, who were II the thick of the Argonne battle. field, know what was done
 Well here's hoping to be back md the sooner the better"

(From Tuesdays Dally)
 As cities go, Prescott is clean
 There is entirely too mucl bootleg whiskey being sold, anc immoral women are too free tc ply their trade, and something is to be done about it, if not by the authorities, then by the citizens
 Things were called by their own names at a conference ot representative citizens of Pres colt with Captain C. A. Turner, an inspector for the War Depart ment, who IS here investigating vice conditions, at the office of Mayor Goldwater last night. The comment was decidedly caustic regarding some of the alleged shortcomings of the community as center for a military hos pitaL- -
 When it had been firmly set tied in evetybody's mind that well ordered as Prescott is, in comparison to some of the can tOnment cities, for instance, some thing can be done to improve conditions, then it was arranged that something WILL be done. As a result of the conference, Mayor Goldwater will name a committee of leading citizens to make an investigation in coop eration with the military author ities, and with their aid, recOm- mend such measures as well eli minate permanently the booze and the women.
 Some Opinion Expressed.
 q A sudden frankness seized this con. ference, which lasted for several hours. Previous meetings had rather glossed over facts, it was said. But most of the large number of speak CTS came right out in meeting and let it be known where they stood.
 Captain Turner said he would make no specific charges He was con vinced that vice, while not exactly rampant, was little too obvious to be comfortable. It was not neces sarily the fault of the officers, but possibly the fault of the citizens, whom he declared should provide I private vice-fighting force, similar to one that had been working with sue cess at Douglas. There is too much i vice, according to current reports. | The soldiers arc being demoralized,' ! was the gist Of his remarks.

 Uncle Sam's Part.
 R. s. Mason believed that a man sturdy enough to be soldier and taking proper pride in the uniform ought to be man enough to with stand the lure of vice. They should be able to let girls alone and keep away from bootleggers. He suggest ed that if Uncle Same were so inter ested, he might look into the accus- alton that some of his employees on the railroads are easing the way for the importation of liquor.
