No Apathy Now

We present at eleventh hour night don of the senate last spring when General Manager cragin of the Salt River Valley Water Users associ- 'stton appeared in behalf of the Cave Creek flood control bill This legisaton had offered the house weeks before and had been favorably recommended by the whole committee A little later there was reversion of sentiment and the bill a. to recall. indefinitely postponed. Later at the urgent request of committee of citi- the subject was revived and the hcuss was in- auced permit the passage of with reduced appropriation the part of the state.
 This bill was then sent to the senate. where 1t reposed in committee for scs1e weeks. strenuous last effort the part outsiders resulted in it's exhumation and it was brought before the whole committee and MT. Cragin allowed to speak on it. What he said that occasion must be regarded by those present who remember the speech and who saw what happened on Sunday night as tragically accurate So exactly did the flood what MT cragin said 1t would likely do. that some sup night made to order.
 Yet he failed noticeably to impress the senators that legislative night. Some nodded with weariness others yawned and others looked the clock. Still others exchanged pleasantres aisles members questions ess it seemed for eliciting information. than conveying their belief state being asked again to make gift to Mari copa county.
 If those senators had been in their self-sa places on Sunday night they would not have been in yawning moods; the clock would have had no attraction for them; nobody would have been sleepy and nobody would have been inclined to regard the torrent the exclusive of Maricopa county
 They would have been interested. intensely inter- ested in what was going down stairs the destruc- ton of the states property thousands thousands of dollars of it; in the damage that being wrought which would take thousands and thousands of dollars to replace. They would have wondered what was happening to the states property at the fair grounds. over which a five-foot sweeping. and to the ranch lands which lay to the northwest within the sweep.
 We can make accurate estimate of the loss the state suffered. but 1t many times the amount carried in the flood control bil We have little doubt that exceeds by the total cost of the proposed plans for flood control

Tho Only Way to Do t

Now for the control of Cave Creek. The way to control is to control it. That way is to a. it and hold prolonged conferences devise ways and means The Water Users association. which has taken the lead in this matter. long ago prepared plan of control and had made an estimate Of the cost of it-$350000 check for the associations share of the control fund was crawn months ago. The association offered to take charge of the construction and bring the within estimate. There would be no contractors profit to be figured in. There would be $35o0oo worth of actual con- ytructon for $35o,o0o.
 The association management further stated that k the city the county the state all of them preferred to do the work within the estimate lording the plans which had been prepared. the ,ssociaton's share of the control fund would at available. It may be presumed that what the association insisted upon was that there was be no waste ef the fund and no private profit to be milked out of 1t.
 It Is now only for the other parties interested the state. the county the city, the Santa railroad and he Union oil company-to in without fur thor delay pretext for delay and authorize the Water Users association to proceed Presumably all these parties in interest have famliarized them selves with the plans and have ascertained the approximate correctness of the estimate of cost.
 There should be no further haltng stalling. burely the need of promptness of action has been mfncientiy impressed upon all. If not. they should make trip along the wake of Sunday nights ruin.

.BertonB Braleys Daily Poem 'AMdtmgfIdgto

I do not like the kind of books Where all the folks gloomy looks, And every lamp with tears is damp,
 And life is bleak and chilly; Where families much decayed, And heroines are all betrayed
 And at the last the whole blame cast
 Is planted heath the lily. It may be realistic dope To hang the hero with rope, And have the bride try suicide,
 Or stage little murder But for myself dare to say My friends do not go on that way Such stuff is rot, ask you what
 Is falser absurder? I don't mind tragedy bit, But I hate. characters who quit And tear their hair in sad despair
 When fortunes smiles diminish; The kind of book I think is great Is one where man stands up to Fate And, win lose. with brain and thews
 Keeps fighting to the finish.

Tag Day July Fourth.

The Federation of Women's clubs
decided some time ago to have tag
day for the benefit of the Rest Room.
Everybody is realizing that the Rest
Room is filling very important need
in the life of the city. But it takes
funds to maintain it as it should be
maintained. A matron must be en-
ployed and she must be paid reason
able wage for her work. The women
feel that the public will be willing to
make a free will contribution for this
excellent cause, and that the quickest
way of reaching the public and collect
ing the fund will be through tag day.
July Fourth you will be offered tag.
Take it and give the ladies the reward
of success in this worthy undertaking.

Fourth of July, EdgertOn.

Edgerton will celebrate the national
Edgerton believes in putting on cele-
bration that will equal the best in the
smaller cities of the state. 1t is the
smaller towns, possessing proper and
sizeable parks, which can make the day
one of real mirth and pleasure.
Remember what the day means to
the young folks and children. They
look forward to it with an eagerness
and come to take part with zest that
makes it red letter day for the whole
nation. The older folks have as much
pleasure in watching the joy of the
young, and remembering their own
Fourth of July JOY in days long ago, as
they have from the best exercises put
on. There is no question about the
home support; that is going to be
unanimous.
And Edgerton wants to make it day
worth while for the people living
throughout it's rural vicinity. 1t feels
az one with the farming neighborhood,
and considers itself a part Of it in all
the best interests which the town and
country have together. Edgerton ex-
tends most cordial welcome to all it's
rural neighbors.
Edgerton's friends in all the cities
and villages within reasonable distance
are assured. of a pleasant reception and
a first class Fourth of July celebration.
If no formal celebration is held in your
town, come to Edgerton. Here you
will be welcomed.
The two baseball games = Samson
Tractors VS.. Edgerton in the forenoon,
and Cambridge vs.. Edgerton in the af-
ternoon-are features that will keep an
American crowd enthusiastic. Plenty
of good music, refreshments, games
and contests, bowery dance, and fire.
works at night will fill the day and
evening. The Edgerton band and the
Trailer ball team have combined to put
this celebration on.

Bad Farm Fire.

A very bad fire destroyed the barn
and silo, two corn cribs, the stripping
house, chicken house, hog shed and one
tobacco shed on the farm of Martin
Staff on Albion Prairie last Friday af-
ternoon. He also lost in the conf1agra-
ton horse, three calves, some chick
ems, and all his machinery, farm wag-
ons and other implements. Every thing
was as dry as finder, and the fire at
once gained such Roadway that COM
paratively little could be saved.
At about o'clock the fire gong in
Edgerton sounded, calling on the fire
The response was immediate; the same
was done in Cambridge which brought
it's new fire wagon down. By the time
help arrived practically everything was
enveloped in flames. Hay and grain in
the barns and cribs went with the rest,
even the growing fields near by were
scorched for some distance by the in
tense heat from the hames.v The ap-
pies on tree many rods from the fire
were baked on the side turned to the
fire, while green on the other.
The loss sustained must amount to
more than 5000, and the fire insurance
carried was between two and three
thousand dollars. Mr.. Staff bought the
very excellent farm two years ago
from Gust Hagen, now residing on
Washington street in Edgerton, and
paid handsome price for it. The COM
munity sympathizes deeply with the
stricken neighbor in his misfortune and
will not stand idly by, but will lend
every aid in helping to build sufficient
ly to meet the contingencies of the sea-
son ahead Fortunately light wind
was blowing in the direction from the
location of the living house; this saved
the dwelling, milk house and windmill.
If the wind had been in the opposite
direction, not stick would, most like.
ly, have been left. A great CROWD
gathered, but no one could lend any as
sistance, though all were eager to show
their willingness to do so.
The origin of the fire is not definitely
known.
