WANT ID KNOW YOUR LUCK? TRY ID GET
 4 ROOM IN PHOENIX

Rain or shine. warm or cold, life is all bed of roses just now for the Phoenix hotels. at least so far as buSi- ness goes. Far from seeking means of procuring business. the hotels have reached the stage where they would welcome suggestions to how to keep business away-at any rate, some of the business, for all of it can not be taken care of. Getting a room in Phoe nix is all a matter of luck, with ad- verse odds.
 You can register, but we cant make any promises. Wen let you have a room if we have a vacancy tonight. Come around after o'clock That is the greeting one generally hears when he approaches the desk in quest of a place to sleep. It is a rare oc- entrance when one can saunter casual ly into thes lobby in the day, go up to the desk and get room immedi- ately.
 With the hotels already even to their waiting list filled and letters and wires for reservation coming in every day, there is apparently no limit to the peo- pie who are coming into Phoenix Every afternoon there is a full sheet of names on the register al each of the three big hotels. and the names are new. Of the score or more people registered. however, half dozen or so have been given rooms. The others are just waiting" That is to say, they will come back after o'clock after all the guests who are going to check out have done so, and then they will get room-with a good deal of luck.
 So hard has it become to get ac- commodations here that the new ar rivals who go to the hotels are ire suently glad, in the end, to take a room in cheap lodging house and be thankful for it, for the lodging houses are suffering no lack of business them selves. And it is not a rare case any more, either, when a person goes to sleep on a cot in the hall
 Oh, no. the hotels aren't suffering any from lack of business. though to be sure. their service is being taxed all IL VIII stand in trying to care for everybody. Now if someone will only devise way for the overflow" busi- ness Of the winter to wait until sum - mer, when there's lots of room every where, the hotels will be in a position to laugh at anything

ODD STORM SWEEPS PHOENIX; NO ALARM
 AS ID HIGH WATER

Flagstaff was the cause of the rain storm yesterday. according to Robert e. Grant, in charge of the local weather bureau. Six inches of snow fell there and the temperature dropped to 25 degrees. Flagstaff was the storm center, according to Mir. Grant and rain fell at various places in the north ern part of the state. San Diego has had 1.10 inches of rain in the last two days( Los Angeles has had an inch of much-needed rain and Needles has had three-fourths of an inch in the last two days.
 The storm here was odd. Although no great quantity of rain fell, only .36 of an inch in all, it tumbled down at unexpected moments. with a sudden ness which played tricks with all who ventured abroad.
 Rivers, though high in some locali- ties, are not sufficiently so to be alarming. Phe Gila at Kelvin was re- ported as showing 5.S-foot stage at o'clock last evening, and rising, but the Salt river at Center street bridge fell yesterday from 3.2 feet at o'clock in the morning to 3 feet at o'clock in the evening. according to De Witt bureau
 At Granite Reef there was stage of but three feet during the day, and no high water was reported at Roose- welt. The Agua F,ria river was re- ported impossible at all crossings. but not dangerous. This was the state ment of H. M. Bargman. county en- gineer. late yesterday afternoon.
 Yuma and Tucson did not share in the rains of yesterday, but Prescott, in the north, Mhad 1.55 inches of rain on Monday, and Grand Canyon had five inches of snow yesterday. with more snow falling. No report was re- ceived yesterday from either Prescott or Grand Canyon.
 Yesterdays rain in Phoenix brought the actual precipitation since January i to a total of 2.26 inches, or an excess of "A of an inch above the normal
