of service. Let us resolve not to hold up a single visitor for single thing. And let us bury the knocker and bury him deep, and throw away our hammers, get horns, and blow, blow, blow!"
 The last address was made by c. c. Cragin of the Water Users associa- tion The gist of his remarks fol- lows:
 When you contemplate building a house. 1t is necessary that you get the land, decide upon the type of house you want, draw the plans, dis cuss the architectural features, and arrange a hundred other details be- fore you look for a contractor to go ahead with the work. The same is true in the building of a dam, with the difference, however, that in building such dam as has been re- solved upon for Cave creek we have deal.
 For months the Salt River Valley Water Users association had been examining the problem. It's findings had been presented to the public in detail in it's advocacy of bond issue to assist in the control of the menace of Cave Creek, for the public had 10 be satisfied concerning the feasibility of the project and the fact that it was not buying pig in poke.
 Agree On Cave Creek Dam
 "These findings were presented to a board representing all the interests concerned in the control of the creek, and this board, formed of men from the state. county and city govern ments, the Water Users association, the railroad companies, the oil cor porations and others, then formed another board, consisting of engin- eers, which has been engaged in de- termining the type of dam and the details of its construction. This work has now been completed, including an examination of Cave creek itself
 It has been agreed that the creek is to be controlled by a dam, and that the dam is to be of the earth filled type with a core wall. The safety of this type of dam has been recognized by the engineers as bey- ond question, especially in view oi the fact that natural conditions at the site of the dam will allow the construction of a spillway large enough to accommodate the Salt river.
 "In view of these decisions and of the fact that the final report oi the engineers committee will be pre- sented to the main committee per haps tomorrow, I am confident in predicting that in a year from today the Cave creek dam will have been completed-a monument to the DOW CT of cooperation and to the spirit of the Salt River valley"
 Following Cragin's address Edgar kennison read a poem, Cave Creek, in which the vagaries of that uncer- tain stream were happily portrayed and then Col James H. McClintsclx state historian, spoke briefly upor the development of the Colorado river and its importance not only tc Arizona but to the entire Southwest
