the turn by Mason's store was ruined

repair.
On the east side of Main street al
most every business house suffered
from flood waters and it washed about
three inches of mud silt into Man
ley's garage, about six inches in the
Verde Valley Stage company's garage
and carried away all the filling in
front of Tony Butkovich's tin shop and
caved one of his cess pools in. 1t
flooded the lower floor and ton floor,
both, of Peter ToneIli's building. Two
feet of water drove Pete and his fam
lily out of the ground floor of his
building at midnight.
The wash between Cottonwood and
Clemenceau became a raging torrent
and carried away about six feet of O..
&c. Stewards park and the retaining
wall and undermined the corner of a
building belonging to Alice Carrier.

the Cottonwood Ditch company was
taken out almost completely and car
ried down the Verde river. Major w.
w. Midgley of the board of supervis-
ors came down to- Cottonwood and
passed on out into the country to as
certain the damage done to the county
roads, and found that there will be
much of the road to be virtually re-
built. Every culvert and dip are gone
or damaged and the east approach of
the bridge at the Verde crossing is
badly washed and in rather dangerous
condition. The Cornville road was un-
der water for half a mile from the
forks of the road toward Cornville and
the dip first to be encountered beyond
the bridge was almost completely car
ried away by the force of the water.
A portion of it weighing approximate
ly three tons was carried almost $50
feet from it's place in the road and
left half buried in the sand. Midgley
could go no farther on account of the
condition of the road. South of this
badly washed dip there was a verit-
able lake embracing a great deal of
farm land.
For miles along the highways the

tirely carried away. So great was the
havoc wrought that the major phoned
the county engineer to come over and
plan on some means of making the
roads passable. He pointed out that
with the condition of the roads after
that severe storm, there would be
scarcely enough money available to
make the roads passable and that the
working Of the highways ON this side
of the mountain with the graders is
going to be practically eliminated in
behalf of the unavoidably necessary
repairs to the road. This is unfor
tunate indeed but the roads must be
repaired and put in passable condi-
ton, and the approaches to bridges
that washed out and the threatened
tearing out of the east approach of the
bridge at Bridgeport must be done.
The major said that he was absolutely
surprised at the amount of damage
done by the storm. Reports from
Spring Creek are that the ranch oc-
cupied by M. w. Cross was almost en-
tirely washed away is found true, and
Joseph Hofer suffered several hundred
dollars loss in tools, land and imple-

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY
RECENT STORM In VALLEY


When this dope sheet was written,
the magnitude of the record rainfall
of Wednesday night was not fully
known regarding Cottonwood and inn
mediate vicinity. The damage done
by the storm which outdid anything
in the history of the country will run
into the thousands of dollars right
within radius of two miles of Cot
tonwood, and at the present time the
scope of the storm and damage left
in its wake may not become known for
some few days. Various reports are
current regarding the amount of
water that fell A report from
Bridgeport puts it at about eight
inches. The reports almost parallel
ing at Cottonwood have it AZ inches.
it is a positive fact that during the
heavy downpour in Cottonwood the
water fell from the clouds faster on
the crown of the street through town
than the cutters on the side could
carry it away and one could hardly see
a building so feet away through the
sheet of water. Every culvert and
apron from Cottonwood to Oak Creek
was either damaged or entirely torn
out; over score of persons living in
Cottonwood fled in fear for their lives
so suddenly did the flood waters
come upon them. Ellefson addition
was hit first and H. L. Moisa, a pio-
neer wood hauler in that section, lost
nearly 20 cords of wood and his saw
and motor washed down the dry wash
through Cottonwood to within a few
feet of the. Verde river, and Frank
Montoya lost about two cords of sawed
stove wood. w. r. Garrison lost a
sheet iron garage and the land it
stood on. The water carried the em-
bankment away to within about six
feet of his fine new cement house and
carried away all Of his back yard. 1t
carried four feet of dirt, debris and
rock into Bob Creed's inclosure, taking
away his fence, breaking over his or

dence was forced out. He waded waist
deep in murky. water to a place of
safety, while neighbors north and
west of him rushed from their homes
with few things they could gather in
their flight. Billy Miller's two houses
were flooded, one to depth of four
feet and the other about foot.

The incident which we are relating
today Of park service management
touches on a phase which in some re-
spects might appear insignificant. It
deals merely with the ownership of
dogs in the Grand Canyon national
park.
The park regulations prohibit the
ownership or possession of dogs by
persons living on the park area. With
that regulation we have no serious
quarrel.
But it appears that even in the en-
forcement of this minor rule favorit-
ism must needs be shown by the park
service to the representatives of the
Harvey concessionaires who have been
given about every privilege in the
park which could be made productive
of profit The secretary of the in
terror ruled that while the more than
800 ordinary residents of the park
might not enjoy the privilege of keep
ing a dog, still the regulation should
be waived in favor of the manager of
FL Tovar, the classy hotel of the Har-
vey concessionaires,
The following bit of testimony
from the recent hearings held by the
senatorial investigating committee at
Grand Canyon touches on the point
which we have discussed:
Mr. Bowden-Do you have a regu-
lation in the park service that no dogs
are to be allowed in the park?
Mr. Eakin-We have, sir.
Mr.. Bodwen-Do you enforce that
regulation in this park?
Mr.. Eakin-It is enforced to the
best of our ability, with this excep-
ton, that it is recognized that people
living on privately owned lands-we
have nothing to say about whether
they shall have dogs or cats or any
thing and it is an affair of their own
whether they have dogs or not. On
park land, we do not permit them if
it can be helped. There are certain

TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
STOLEN FROM NAIL BOX

F. w. Buster, ranger in charge of
the Bly, station, was in town Sunday
and Monday. He reported that some
one had stolen the contents of the sta
ton mail box, on the morning of
September 10, and made away with,
among other things, II government
checks, ranging in amounts from $62
to S140, totaling about $1,000. One of
the stolen checks was found later
along the Santa Fe right-of-way near
the depot. The checks were in pay
ment of men working on the road
near the station. Payment has been
stopped on the checks, but the men
will be held up 30 days in getting

STATE NOT AS LIBERAL AS U. S.
IN REBATING GRAZING FEES

Unjust action on the part Of the
state land board is charged by prom
inent local cattleman, through their
interest, in having the forest service
waive grazing fees for the present
year, while they themselves have re-
fused to waive similar fees. The
speaker was a business visitor in the
city yesterday from his cattle hold
ings in the southern part of the state,
and stated that he expressed the opin-
ion Of large number Of permittees
grazing on land leased from the state
land board.
He charged that the board was
very active in the movement to have
the forest service waive its grazing
fees, and then when that grant was
made by the service, refused to waive
it's own fees.
Land leased by the state land board
is located generally in the open flat
country, he stated, while most of the
land leased by the forest service is IN
the foothills, and has generally been
much better grazing territory than
the state lands
The forest service, of its own initia-
tive took action to waive grazing fees
N the southwest, as. a relief measure
to cattlemen who have been suffering
severe losses due to an extended
drouth season The first order waived
the fees for the first six months of
the year, and later the fees for the
entire year were included in the order.

VERDE FARMERS GET
VERDICT In SMOKE CASES

Matching in speed the hearing on
the claims of w. A. Jordan & Sons
and associated ranchers of the Verde,
the smoke case jury yesterday evening
brought in its verdict favoring six of
the seven plaintiffs with sum ap-
proximately one-fifth what they
asked. The total damages allowed
were $4997.55 against each of the two
defendant copper companies. The
sum asked was $48,711.38.
Principles involved in the trial, ac-
cording to defense attorneys, make it
imperative that the matter be given
further judicial hearing. A new trial
will be asked, and in the event of an
adverse ruling, the questions will be
submitted to higher court for re-
view.
In instructions Judge George NJ.
Bourquin laid upon the jury the duty
of finding for the plaintiffs in at least
nominal sums, thereby obviating the
post-trial fight that took place four
years ago when verdict of one dol
lar against the United Verde Exten-
sion in the first smoke trial ever held
in the southwest, led to appeals
against the paying of suit costs. In
the present case, the instructions of
the court in effect were that whether
the jury considered there had been
substantial damage, the copper COM
panies would be adjudged responsible
for the jury and other court fees, at
least.
Six of the seven plaintiffs received
awards varying from $3.50 to $4,000
and one, who claimed damage to a
vineyard of S2410, received nothing
at the jury's hands.

FISHING POINT NOW SHOALING
ChincOteague Inlet Rapidly Filling
and Shippers Ask Dredgin &

The rapid shoaling of Fishing Point
Chincoteague Inlet, Virginia, as set
forth in the report of the Lighthouse
Service, has caused considerable alarm
in Philadelphia shipping circles, es-
pecially in the offices of tugboat own
ers engaged in coasting trades and
also operators Of coastwise steam
ships.
Although the entrance to the As
sateague anchorage is not closed, the
shoaling of Fishing Point and the
making of other shoal spots in or
near the entrance, eventually will
make even the entrance to the an
chorage unsafe for vessels drawing
more than fifteen feet. At present
tugbOat owners say it is unsafe to
take a tow of three barges through
the entrance to the sheltered anchor
age, if they are drawing more than
ten feet. They point out that the fac
tor of safety under present conditions
is very small, especially if the barges
are not under perfect control.
Fishing Point marks the northeast
ern point of land at the entrance of
Chincoteague Inlet. The survey of
1849 shows the point as a mere bend
in the coastlne. Since then it has
gradually "made" until it is now a
large hook projecting to the south
ward and westward, the total exten-
sion being about 24,500 feet or 4.6
statute miles. During the seventy
five year period the point has increas-
ed at the remarkable average Of near
ly eleven inches daily.
AssateOgue anchorage is the only
safe harbOr of refuge between Della
ware Bay and Chesapeake Bay. Dur
ing the stormy months along the
coast, the anchorage is frequently
used by small coasting steamships,
tugboats with tows and sailing YES
sells. For the last several years ship
ping interests along the coast whose
vessels pass the anchorage and often
! have occasion to use it have been
urging the government to dredge a
suitable area in the anchorage to a
depth to accommodate vessels draw
ing twenty-five feet and also to pro-
vide sufficient channel from sea-
ward.
Several hearing on the project have
been held. Colonel Earl l. Brown,
United States Army, but as yet no
action has been taken by the govern
ment. The work of improving har-
bors is under the direction of the War
Department. 1t has been proposed
that the government obtain old Ship
ping Board ships unsuitable for SER
vice, load these with sand and sink
them in a double column from Fish
ing Point southwardly. They point
out that as the current runs south
ward along the coast at that point, the
sandy sediment would bank up against
the sunken hulls and that this even
tually would provide a natural break
water giving shelter to vessels in all
weather, excepting southwesterly
storms. Usually during sOuthwesters
the tows continue northward or south
ward along the coast at this point
under the shelter Of the land which
makes lee shore.

been greeted with acclaim, displaying
charm, versatility, a captivating
sense of comedy, and an emotional
force that stamp her as one of the
most distinguished actresses on the

charming and spirited daughter of
Squire Meredith, a staunch old Tory
landowner. Her love for Jack Brere-
ton, a young officer in Washingtons

the American Colonies and carries her
through many thrilling adventures

roles, chief prominence is given to
