Especial to The Republican, (BY JUDGE o. J. RAUGRN)

FLORENCE, Ariz., July 30-The san Carlos association of land own CTS of the Florence Casa Grande val ley will hold their big annual san Carlos day. celebration this year in Casa Grande on Friday, Aug. F. There will be a big free barbecue, wild West roundup sports, a sizzling bail game and a monster business meeting of all the landowners of the valley with delegations present from other counties and cities in the state. Casa Grande folks have peeled their coats and determined that this cele- bration will be the biggest ever held in the history of Arizona.
 . The city of Casa Grande, on the line of the Southern Pacific railroad, is one of the newest cities in the most enterprising. It lies in the west end of the great valley to be watered when the San Carlos dam is built, while the city of Florence lies in the east end Needless t6 say that when the people of Casa Grande make up their minds to deliver the goods, the said goods will be delivered in true western style with the latest and most approved methods of booster garnishings.

Big Celebration Planned
 For San Carlos Day" at.
 Casa Crande, August l2

, direct object is to secure the con- struction of the great San Carlos
 storage dam in the Gila river below
 San Carlos station to operate as storage reservoir to store the floods of the Gila for the irrigation of this
 great valley.
 The second meeting of the associa- tion was held in Florence also, for the reason that the city of Casa Grande had at tke time no very suitable
 place for the meeting. This was a
 year ago.
 This year. however, the fine new
 Casa Grande high school building,-
 which has just been completed. fur
 nished an excellent place to hold the
 big meeting. and all roads will lead
 to Casa Grande on Aug. F. A Big Free Barbecue
 The cattlemen of the Casa Grande
 section. headed by Wes Gates, have
 donated number of fat beeves and will barbecue the same to furnish a bounteous and tasty feed for the null titude. There will be coffee, beans and all the other perquisites as we'll. Not only are the cattlemen to stage the big barbecue. but they have agreed to bring in their cowboys off
 the range and put on a real wild West rodeo, with bronco busting steer and calf roping. etc. A ball
 game is being arranged between two of the fast teams of the state and in the evening there will be a big
 dance to close the memorable occa- sion.

SAYS NEW TAX RATE FUR THE STATE WILL
 BE ABOUT 75 CENTS

That the state tax rate will be in the neighborhood of 75 cents was the announcement made by Charles R. Howe, chairman of the state tax com mission, on his return yesterday from the annual tax conference held in Nogales. In his opinion the tax rate wil be somewhat below the 75 cent estimate. due to reduction in the levy caused by the supreme court deelar- ing the act creating the industrial commission unconstitutional. In ad- dition to the reduction from this source there will be other small items that may reduce the state budget which at present is s6,199,7 755.
 According to returns made by the boards of supervisors of the differ ent counties the valuation of the state for. taxation purposes is sS29.- 0O0 GOO This amount may be in-' creased or decreased after Monday when the tax commission sits as state board of equalization. It is not thought likely, however, that there will be such a material change that the rate will be much less than 15 cents to raise the more than S6,00O:- % required to operate the state. Last years rate was 471k cents.
 ''The conference at Nogales was the most successful that has ever been nelO III lIlS Sl2le lTOIl poiIll ol dt7 tendance and collection of data de- clared MT Howe who has not missed a conference since 1913 when the first one was held. He said that much needed evidence was collected from county assessors and boards of super visors. which data is now being transcribed for use of the commis sion when it sits as board of equa- lization and passes on tax rates on the different classes of property In the state.
 There were more than 200 delegates present at the conference and all ap- peared willing and anxious to furnish data. MT. Howe said.
 The livestock interests asked for a reduction in the tax rate, and there were objections to the rate on mine-, but by individuals. not as a class. according to MT. Howe. James S. Douglas attacked the method in as- sessing mines, which is based on the average five-year earnings.
 The conference, which opened Mon day. ended on Thursday when the delegates were entertained with a smoker by the people of Nogales who extended every courtesy during the entire week.

state are expected to be on the pro- gram, which is now in process of arrangement.
 Representative from other counties also for short talks appropriate to the occasion, and it is expected that the entire state will be fully repre- sented. Numerous stat. officials will be on hand, and Governor Campbell will attend if not prevented by his trip to Washington in the interest of a long staple cotton tariff. Govern ment representatives will also be on hand, and 1t is expected that the reclamation service will send a spe cial representative to the meeting.
 Special Trains Coming
 The cities of Tucson, Phoenix, Mesa and Chandler will be represent ed with large delegations, and special trains from Tucson and Phoenix may be necessary to carry the crowds.
 Special newspaper editions for the occasion will be issued not only by the local papers, but possibly by the Tucson and Phoenix dailies also. Special press representative will be sent to Casa Grande on Aug. F to cover" the story of the big day for all the big state dailies and the As sociated Press.
 The association at this third annual meeting will hear a report of more real progress and will have more oc- casion for rejoicing than at any prev ious meeting. Judge P. D. Overfield, who was recently sent to Washing ton by the association in the inter ests of the San Carlos, will have a general report to make of his trip. The big diversion dam at the head of the canal and distributing system 12 miles east of Florence is rapidly near ing completion and Maj. c. R. Olberg, the government engineer in charge, is expected to be present and tell the crowd of his work as representative of the Indian service, and give some hint of tie time when active work on the canal system will be started.
 A blasting crew from the diversion dam will set off several hundred pounds of TINT in number of charges by way of fireworks, just prior to the starting of the big dance.
 A number of committees on enter tainment have been appointed in Casa Grande and everyone in that bustling city is at work to make of Aug. F, 1921. the biggest day in the history of the Southwest. It is but other demonstration of that Vest ern spirit of accomplishment and cess has crowned the efforts of the association and the great San Carlos dam is under construction.
 San Carlos Investigations
 Recent investigations of the United
Arizona republican., 1921-07-31

are so precipitous that dam of practically any height up to 500 feet or more could be constructed. The bedrock and canyon walls are of hard quartzite, rock of the finest quality for the support of the great masonry dam as well as furnishing material for its construction.
 An examination of the cross sec tion of the river canyon at San Car los shows that it is almost identical with the Roosevelt dam site and that the width and length of the dam for the same height would be so similar that if one could pick up the Roose- welt dam bodily and set it down in the San Carlos box canyon of the Gila river it would almost exactly fit.
 The recent Investigations of the reclamation service, which have been summarized in complete down-to- date report on the San Carlos project, were paid for jointly by the San Carlos association and the state of Arizona, in conjunction with the fed eral government and in cooperation with theSrecIamation service.
 Costs of Dam
 The cost of a dam at San Carlos sufficient to store 1,600.000 acre feet of water. with power house. trans mission lines. etc, would be approx imately s10,Oo0. .0o0, while dam cap able of storing 2.700, 900 acre feet of water would cost approximately sl2, DOG, GOO. These estimates were made when costs were high and would undoubtedly be very much less at the present time. The dam final ly recommended to be built first by the service would store 710,000 acre feet and cost approximately s7,0o0, ,0oo Later it is contemplated that this dam would be buried under larger and higher one.
 A hydro-electric power pian' would be installed which would fur nish a large amount of power foI distribution at Florence, Casa Grande and various points in southern Ari- zona. It is expected to install pump ing stations over the entire valley as an auxiliary water supply and to pre- vent water logging of any of the project lands.
 The present diversion dam and dis tributing system is being built on a scale sufficient to take care of the distribution under the San Carlos dam when the latter is constructed.
 All Arizona and the Southwest IS invited to attend the big meeting on Aug. IF. and Casa Grande will be the Mecca for everybody on that day.

States reclamation service of the San Carlos project, made at the request 0. the San Carlos association, show that foot for foot in it's higher con- tours the San Carlos reservoir will store more water than the Roosevelt. In other words, dam at San Carlos the same height above the bedrock as the Roosevelt dam would store from two to three hundred thousand acre feet more of water than the Roosevelt dam will hold. The bedrock at San Carlos is only 20 feet in depth, whereas it was A feet deep at Roose- welt. A 259-foot dam above the bed rock at San Carlos will store 1.600,- GOO acre feet of water, or about 250,000 acre feet more than the Roosevelt reservoir will hold.

GAS DOWN [ CENTS
 BY SLIDING SCALE

On the sliding scale basis estab- lished by the state corporation com mission a year ago. the price of gas has slid down 5 cents. and users in Phoenix will have to pay now $2.05, against s2.10,- dating from July 25.
 year ago the gas companies ap- piled for an increase of rates on the ground of the sharp advance in oil of zoo per cent from the time of the beginning of the war. It was then that the companies were put on the sliding scale, and the price of gas oil having declined, the cost of gas automatically follows.
 This reduction is applicable to Phoenix, the rates at Prescott and Douglas having been previously ad- justed.

LOOK OUT FOR THE ENGINE. y

Two men driving a motor truck were
killed when their vehicle was struck
on railroad crossing in Lyndon. They
did not see the engine until too late
to avert collision. Look out for
the engine" is a warning which has
taken on a new significance since the
general use of motor vehicles. For
merly, the driver of a horse approached
crossing with due caution, and the
accidents were comparatively infre-
quent. Now, the driver of the motor
vehicle scarcely slackens speed at all
in approaching a crossing unless it be
to prevent the wear and tear on his
automobile tires in the contact with
the casualty list as long as grade
does he give to the possibility of a
train approaching That is, the ma
iority of automobile drivers are thus
careless. The result naturally is that
IN spite of the greater mobility of the
motor vehicle, when once in motion,
more vehicles are being caught in the
death trap and more persons are being
laid away beneath the sod We must
get back to the old-fsshioned fear Of
the iron horse IL we are TO cut down
the casualty list as long as grade
crossings continue to exist.
There really is no excuse for a mo-
torist, in most instances, running into
one of these deathtraps. II the exist
ence of grade crossings is not known to
he driver through familiarity with the
roads. II Is almost always the case
that warning signs have been put up
at a reasonable distance from the
crossings to tell the stranger of the
danger that lies just ahead. Thus, Ell.

The collapse of steel bridge in pro-
cess of construction over the Connecti-
cut river between Brattleboro and
Hinsdale means a considerable finan-
cisl loss to some one, presumably to
the bridge contractors who were erect
ing the structure for Brattleboro and
Hinsdale; but that loss is more than
counteracted by the fact that every
one of the twenty three men working
on the structure was able to escape
death by drowning or by blows from
parts of the heavy material as the
bridge collapsed. Inasmuch as the men
fell into deep water there were grave
chances of fatal outcome; and it really
was remarkable that all escaped.
