most of the supply was being OBJ
tained were gradually failing. Many
residents report no water at all. The
fire steamer is able TO pump only
about eight hours a day from Allo-
wuy's Creek. because OF the ebb and
flow Of the tide.

believed the wells will not properl,
function because they are filling up

DEWEY BRIDGE PLAN
 CONSIDERED BY THE
 BOARD, COST S2,5OO

Plans for the proposed new wood en bridge across the Agua Fria at Dewey were under consideration by the supervisors yesterday. The cost .of the structure is estimated at about S2,5OO-at least Chairman Midg1ey hopes to confine it to that figure.
 The bridge, an ancient structure, went to glory during the early part of the present rainy season. A cross ing, capable of serving traffic under ordinary circumstances, was con- structed by the county, but a bridge is the only sure way to keep the i'm portant thoroughfare open. The bridge is part of the road serving Cherry, Camp Verde and other parts of the valley, and att times, the out let to Coconino county.

LARGE SUMS IN
 RODENT SAYING
Work of Rodent Pest Determination Is Ex- plained at C. C. Meet

Saving of large sums to ranchers and cattlemen of Arizona has been brought about by work of the state biological survey, through its two divisions, the one for extermination of predatory animals, under C. E. Musgrave, and the other for ex- termination of rodent pests, under D. A. Gilchrist. Figures on the sub jects were given by Gilchrist last night in a talk before the chamber Of commerce
 Since beginning its work in this state in 1910, the rodent pest ex- termination department of the sur vey has steadily enlarged its scope, carrying on tests and demonstrations in every county in Arizona.
 Credit for initiation of the work, Gilchrist stated, belongs to the Yava- pal County Chamber of Commerce, at whose request the survey came to this state. Experiments with poisons and other methods of determination resulted recently in perfection of a poison which is giving satisfactory results among the ranchers to whom it is distributed free through the county agricultural agents and cham bers of commerce.
 Over 4,775 farmers and stockmen in the state are reaping the benefit of the work, which is now partly carried on by a state appropriation.
 Figures quoted by Gilchrist show ed that over 5000 skins of predatory animals killed by agents of the sur vey have been turned in at Phoenix since inauguration of the work Or these, 1S1 were lions, 125 wolves, l27 bears and over coco coyotes.
 Six thousand prairie dogs and gophers killed in one day, is a rec ord quoted by Gilchrist in illustra- ton of the benefits of the work. Over 16O coyotes were killed by the animal department in 20 lays last year.
