Flood at Phoenix.

/ Phoenix is being threatened
with another flood such as visit
ed her two years ago, when the
high water reached the first floor
of the capital building. The
continuous rains for several DAYS
previous in the Bradshaw noun
talns, north Of Phoenix, caused
Gave Greek to break through
the Arizona canal, last Tuesday
night. Flood waters from the
creek now are encroaching on
the Grand canal, the only re-
manning protection to Phoenix
from inundation.
Officials of the Salt River Val
ley Water Users Association
said that the break in the Ari-
zona canal banks was at the
same point where an eighty-foot
break occurred during the flood
2 couple of weeks ago. Twice
as much water was in the flood
Tuesday as in the one two weeks
ago. The old break had been
temporarily repaired, but the
banks were unable to withstand
the greatly increased pressure
OF storm waters. It is said all
of the SYSTEMS canals in the
path of the food have been
drained In an effort to divert the
water before it reaches Phoenix.
Reports to the irrigation officials
indicated that the flood instead
Of flowing directly toward Phoe-
nix as it has done on previous
occasions, was spreading out
considerably more than usual.
thus slowing up its progress to-
yards the city.
b 1t is reported also that torren-
sial rains north of Phoenix had
seg1aed q rise Of six feet in the
Verde river, which flows into the
Salt river above the Granite reef
diversion dam Of the Salt River
Valley Association. Rain is still
said to be falling in the water
sheds Of both the Cave Greek
and the Verde rivers.
Later news from Phoenix is to
the effect that the food waters
passed without serious damage,
but the capitol grounds and all
the low lands were covered with
water.

Pleads Guilty.

County Attorney Greer was
In Snowflake Wednesday to ap-
pear in Judge Freeman's court
to represent the state in a pre-
liminary hearing against Wallace
Eagar, one of our town boys,
who was charged with burglar
ling the store of II. f. Bush
man on the night of Dee. 26th.
An examination was found un-
necessary, as the young man
pleaded guilty to the charge and
accompanied the countv attorney
to Holbrook to appear before
superior Judge Crosby for SEN
tence. This young man, who
has strayed from the path of
rectitude, is not criminal nor vi
cious, but has been led off on
crooked ways by evil association
with others who think they are
having good time when they
are destroying property, or com
hitting petty thefts, more to
embarrass their victims than for
unlawful gain. The arrest of
young Eagar, let US hope. will
prove a salutary lesson to him,
as well as to all our boys who
have been indalging in malici-
Gus mischief framed up while
prowling the streets ct night,
when they should be under the
sheltering protection of the fam
i4y roof.

The New Year.

This good old world has en-
barked Oh a new year, and what
it has in store for US for good OF
ill in a material way rests en-
tirely upon the Individual efforts
and courage of the people in pur-
suing their usual avocation and
calling. BeWailin9 the misfor-
tunes that have been visited up
on the whole country during the
past year, due to the readjust-
ment from the wartime orgy of
reckiessness and extravaganza,
gets us nowhere in relieving the
conditions that have been SO on
orous and disheartening the past
year.
Success is a tickle goddess to
pursue at any time under any
conditions; but spasmodic zeal
or grUlnbling indifference never
get close enough to the trail to
win her smile of encouragement
to continue the chase. These
are they who so freely blame
the government, or society, or
their community for their fail
ure in the struggle, instead of
placing the blame where it right
ly belongs on their own Shout
ders. "A successful life must be
one continuous struggle. You
must keep all your cylinders fir
ing all the time. Too many of
us are trying to make the race
on one cylinder, too Indifferent
to remove the carbon or adjust
the carburater to put us in the
winning.
With the new year opening be-
fore us let each one resolve to do
his best every day; be industri
Gus and thrifty : take an OPTIC
mistic view Of the future; love
your neighbors; and help in ev-
cry good and worthy cause to
build up your community; then
your life will be SO full you viii
forget the dark days that have
passed, and your heart viii be
atuned to thanks and praise to
God for the blessings vouchsafed
to you from day to day.

Gle, Mr.. Geo. Wilson. of Los An

was known to many of our citi-

climate would restore his failing
health. He remained until Dec.

benefited by his sojourn.
The evening prior to his death

seemed to be in his usual good
health and spirits, but a few
minutes after returning home he
was stricken. never recovering
consciousnessness, and he pass
ed away the next morning. The
news of his death was received
with regrets by all his friends
who had learned to love him
during his brief sojourn here.

Ancient News.

The associated press last Sat
urday carried a thrilling story
to the effect that application had
been made to the interstate com
merce commission for permission
to issue $455. 600 in bonds>and
$500 shares Of stock to build q
railroad from Holbrook to Cool
ey. In view of the fact that the
road has been built and in oper-
alton for three years, the excite
ment over the announcement is
not very turbulent. The only
possible explanation of the Incl
dent is that the telegraph wires
are just getting Strengthened out
after being under the control Of
Postmaster-G General A. S. Burle-
son during the Wilson hierarchy.
In those good old days, it will be
remembered, kilograms were al
ways sent by mail, SO the wires
could be used to boost the ad-
ministration.
