Lake Mary, Formed to Guard AgainSt DrOut1, Has Become
 One Of State s Beautv Spots

Lake Mary is an artificial body of water about eight miles southeast of Flagstaff, created by damming the nat ural channel running through Clarks valley at the northwest end, where the drainage enters the head of Walnut canyon. When full, the lake has contour line of 1872 miles and a capac- ity of over six billion gallons, and, with the exception of Roosevelt lake, is prob ably the largest artificial body of water in Arizona.
 The idea of forming this lake orig mated and was carried out by T. A. Riordan of Flagstaff.
 What is known as the Tong drought" prevailed from 1896 to 1904, and the state during that stretch was nearly bone dry" so far as water was con- cerned, long before the present ''prohi- bition drought" fell upon it. The scarcity of water during those years forced many stock men out of business and cattle and sheep were rounded up on the dusty site of Mormon lake. Rogers lake, Marshall lake, and most of | the springs on the San Francisco plateau dried up and failed entirely during some of these years, particu- l larly in 1897 and 1898. Perhaps there was greater loss of stock in the neigh borhood of Lake Mary during these years than there shall ever be again, considering the fine body of water that is now conserved at that point.
 Because of the drought and the dan ger of recurrence, plans were matured to insure supply for Flagstaff, and in 1898 the town of Flagstaff laid a pipe l line from Jack Smith spring and es- tablished permanent domestic spply | It was realized, though. that this connection might not, in a period of drought, meet the water necessities of the Arizona Lumber and Timber com pany, and so it came that MT. Riordan suggested to Al Coverly, who had a ranch in Clark's Valley, that small dam be built across the channel of Clark's Valley wash. This was done and it proved a success.
 Later, the Arizona Lumber and Timber company acquired MT Gov ery's title and secured a reservoir site and dam permit from the government on April 25, 1904. Surveys were made and were approved by the government and the company constructed the dam where it now stands. The dam was begun in May, 1904, and completed late pounded was named for MT. Riordan's daughter Mary, who was then native Arizona toddler and has since become

Mrs. Robert L. Chambers of Tulsa Oklahoma.
 The purpose of the dam was to pro- Vloe reserve supply of water for the Arizona Lumber and Timber company. pipe line was surveyed from the lake 10 It's mills, but the necessity for in- stalllng the pipe line has never come about, though the dam demonstrated that the supply of water at the lake may always be depended upon, as never since It was built has there been lack of large body of water in the lake, and it has become of-inestimable value to stock men, sportsmen and the gen. eral public.
 The splendid sheet of water made available an extensive scope of coun- try for cattle and sheep, which without 1t would be practically useless for grazing purposes. Several years ago it was stocked with fish, and these have thrived so beautifully that the lake has become an established resort for fish ermen, and the lifeless valley of fifteen years ago is alive today with fish and water fowl. Sportsmen are keen to scent game, whether under or over the water, and they have followed their huntsmen's noses year after year in in creasing droves to the shores of Lake Mary. From all parts of the state and beyond it, sportsmen's trails are being worn in the direction of this beautiful body of water set in the bottom of 2 cup of pineclad hills. with the bound : ing heights of the San Francisco Peaks just far enough away to Tend enchant- ment to the view.'
 It is a glorious spot of earth and sky and water and air, and it will surely grow into a delightful summer retreat
 With fishing and boating, pleasant days, and such moons "as never were on land or sea- it is to be expected that the collection of neat cottages that has already been built on the mal- pals spit near the dam will extend along the pleasant sloping banks or either shore, until Lake Mary shall be- come to Arizona what Lake George is to New York, and especially must il become a desirable resort during the summer months for those who can gel away from the lower valleys of the state.

FORM LOCAL BRANCH
 LEAGUE ID PRESERVE J. $. INDEPENDENCE
Will Welcome Senator Reed Here League Declara- tion Is Blunt Statement of Many Faults of League of Nations

Following the organization of the local branch of the league for the Pres ervation of American Independence, numerous petitions have been placed in circulation and according to those at the head of the movement here have met with a multiplicity of signers.
 The league is planning to take charge of the reception of Senator Reed, who will be here October g. A meeting for the perfection of it's plans on that occa- sion will be held Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in the Blue room of the Adams hotel.
 The following is a copy of the dec laration of the principles of the League for the Preservation of American Inde- pendence, at the head of which is Henry Watterson. editor emeritus of the Louisville Courier-Journal:
 1.
 We insist that all attempts to inter- weave the league of nations covenant with the treaty of peace should be re- sisted. that the early return of our boys should be made possible by prompt ac- tion upon the treaty, and that the pro- posed covenant of the league of nations as separate proposition should then be considered by the senate with due deliberation and care and with reason able opportunity for needed amend ment.
 No matter how wise and disinterested the diplomots may be who have framed the proposed constitution, the people of the United States must do some inde- pendent thinking on this subject or for felt their right to call this government 3 democracy
 In the interest of world peace and of any international arrangement that would tend to promote 1t, we are op- posed to the covenant of the league as reported from Paris because
 First Its framers have definitely and decisively rejected every one of tho six vital and constructive amendment: recently proposed by Senator Root
 Second-The essential feature of tn, amended covenant is an internationa voting trust of nine nations dominated by five, which is no ta body constituted for conference, conciliation and peace but for such an exercise of centralized political power as is likely to promot international friction, rupture, and war
 Third-Without first requiring na tions to commit themselves to a def mite limitation of armaments, tn amended covenant binds us to protec distant nations from aggression an, will force us, in the event of troubl between any two league members, ei her to default on our promise as tn price of peace or to send our boys t fight overseas against undiminishe military forces and without reference t

our convictions respecting the merits of the quarrel.
 Refuse to Heed Monroe Doctrine

our convictions respecting the merits of the quarrel.
 Refuse to Heed Monroe Doctrine
 Fourth-The framers of the covenant have definitely refused to recognize the Monroe doctrine as a declaration of our traditional opposition to the extension of foreign soveregnty to the western continent; have preferred to describe it by the meaningless term of regional understanding" and have left the in- ternational voting trust free to deter mine the validity of the doctrine in any emergency according their then opin- ion of the effect of the doctrine upon the peace of the world.
 F'ifth-The amended covenant pro- vides for an assembly whose decision may be final wherever such decision is made by seven votes in the council and by a majority of the votes in the as- sembly, thus legislative majority con- trol for diplomatic anaminity and bind ing sovereign nations which find them selves in the minority to submit to the will of nations that outvote them. Sixth-The delegations of powers tC the international council is such as may at any time force us into war between other nations without even the righ'
 
 we shall fight.
 Seventh-The framers of the amend | ed covenant have definitely refused tt 1 senetion the reservation by the United States of our right to decide for our selves what immigration we shall sane ton and what we shall exclude.
 Leave Vital Problems Unciarified
 Eighth-Its framers by rejecting : clarifying amendment, have insiste, upon leaving the question of the pro tective tariff, the Panama canal, tn coastwise trade and the control of la Dor conditions in the uncertain position in which they were left by the origina draft.
 Ninth-It makes no definite or ef fective provision for such publicity il international communications as vii destroy secret diplomacy and disclos international differences before the, have reached the acute stage.
 Tenth-The amended covenant ere ates reciprocal obligations such that nations reserve right of withdrawa could not be exercised with honor an such is the power of the central votin trust that withdrawal from all share i it's control would at any rate be eve more dangerous than a continuing par tlclpatl0n.
 Eleventh-A league based upon constitution open to the foregoing ob jections is typical of the permanent an entangling foreign alliances agains which Washington and Jefferson pro nounced their solemn warnings.
 Twelfth-The constitution is not in tended by it's framers to mean wha fair interpretation finds in it. then it ambiguity. vagueness and uncertaint are such as to require it's thorough re construction or prompt rejection.

CLEAN UP DRIVE
 BEGINS IN CITY;
 TO END OCT. 9th
That Date Set for Continuation Day, When All Property Will Have Been Cleaned Up and Work of Hauling
 Rubbish Away Will Be Begun

then will be taken out of the city-and Phoenix will be the cleanest city in the southwest
 Cleanup Will Guard Against "FIu"
 While Phoenix is not and never has been in any way unsightly, the clean up campaign is expected to work sev- eral improvements. The general clean ing up for one thing. will of course make the city more attractive than ever to the eye. But in addition to that, the removal of all the dead vege- tation and general rubbish which naturally accumulates anywhere dur ing a year will not only lessen the dangers of fire, but will also make it difficult for the dread influenza germs to gain a footing in the city, in case the epidemic returns, which is un- certain.
 Among other things, the cleanup campaign will clean up the numberless irrigation ditches that line the streets of the city. On account of the flat country here and the serious drainage problems, these ditches have always a tendency to become filled up with grass, weeds and debris. Now, how ever, these ditches will get a thorough cleaning out.
 Discuss Garbage In connection with last Saturday s meeting there was a discussion of the 1 garbage question. The city ordinance provides that perishable garbage shall be placed in a covered can or recep- tacle, while other garbage such as cans, bottles and the like, will also be taken up by the garbage men if placed in separate container. | While every resident of Phoenix is really a member of the great cleanup campaign committee, each of the civic organizations here has been appointed a committee to assist in the campaign. These committees are as follows:
 Chamber of commerce: Guy P. Nev- itt, Col E. P. Conway, Charles A. Stauffer.
 Merchants and Manufacturers as- sociation Charles B. Christy, Donald Dunbar, W. L. Pinney.
 Rotary club: W. A. Edwards, How ard L. Aller, Jim Wesley.
 Kiwanis club: George E. J. Morgan E. F. Munson.
 Womans' club: Mrs. Joseph Stark Mrs. Thomas E. Campbell, Mrs. Henry D. Ross.

Thursday, October g is the day set for the continuation of Phoenix's clean up campaign.
 Plans for cleanup day and the gen eral cleanup campaign in the city were completed last Saturday morning. at a meeting of the cleanup commit tees of the several civic organizations in the chamber of commerce. While cleanup day has been officially set for October g, which is also fire pre- vention day, the cleanup campaign is already under way in Phoenix and property owners are appealed to, to begin cleaning up their property at once.
 All the civic organizations had rep resentatives at the meeting last Sat urday and there was an earnest dis cussion of the cleanup campaign in Phoenix. Definite plans were formu- lated for the campaign to make Phoe- nix cleaner than ever and it was de- cided that the campaign reach it's cul- imitation on cleanup day, October g, when wagons will begin gathering up the refuse and debris from the city and hauling it away.
 City to Assist Olly MdIldSeF V. A. thompson, WlO attended the meeting, expressed great appreciation for the energy the various civic organizations and citizens are showing in the cleanup campaign and promised the city's cooperation. While | each property owner is expected to clean up his own lots, the city will furnish the wagons to haul away the grass and rubbish.
 From now on-beginning at once every property owner in Phoenix is ex- pected to clean up his or her property Dead grass and leaves, rubbish dirt and the like will be carefully gathered up from every lot-vacant lots in- | cluded. Irrigation ditches will be cleaned out Every effort will be made to have every piece of property in the city spotlessly spick and span by Oc- tober g, the continuation of the cam paign.
 Alleys and streets are of course in cluded in the campaign and they vii receive cleaning too. Beginning Oc. tober g, the citys wagons will begir making the rounds of the town, gath. ering up the rubbish and debris tha. has been cleaned up. All the rubbish
