Sails Falls Victim
To Purple Wave Tide
In Last Home Game

Playing their last game of the season
on home grounds, Coach Thompsons
purple and gold clad football warriors
rode hard and fast Friday afternoon to
swamp strong Sails eleven by score
of "a to 7.
Reflecting training and mastery of
the game by the splendid coaching of
"Jelly" Thompson, the Purple Wave
went into battle with machine-like pre-
cision and never before had the squad
exceeded their brilliant performance as
they unloosed their bag of tricks tha.
completely baffled their heavier op-
ponents. The visitors kept up a contin-
ual exchange of substitutions in an eff
fort to stem the smashing drive, but
fresh material seemed only to in
spire the Lexington players to greater
football playing as they engulfed all eff
forts to stop them and continued to
pile up score after score.

ALASKA DALLAS <, MAY BE EXHIBITED
 NEW YORK DISPLAY

Among the 10000 dahlias on ex- hibit at recent flower show held in Madison Square Garden, New York, were dahlia displays which had won first prize in various State Fairs. Secretary Rothgeber, of New Haven, who is most ener- getic officer in the well-known Dahlia Society, of which Thomas Edison is 9 life-member, is most desirous of obtaining the names and addresses of all dahlia grow CTS and producers.
 skagway, the Flower City of Alas ka, is noted among the summer tourists for its large variety of un- usually large and beautiful dahl jas. There are a great many large gardens of flowers artistically arranged as to color combinations, varieties and types. J. Walker, who sent such "a beautiful display to the recent Southeastern Alaska Fair has lovely garden in Skagway which has been one of the show places of the city and which is oc- casioning a great deal of praise worthy comment. It is believed a splendid opportunity presents itself for Alaska to be represented at the next flower show to be held in New York by the Dal1lia Society.
 Juneau also has proved itself to be city of flowers, and especially of dahlias. There is a lovely yell low dahlia tinted with soft sal- mon shade of pink in the garden of MT. and Mrs. John Rustgard

and J. F. McGill, Rinehart has re-
moved the debris above the mina
opening to depth of 35 feet, at
which point water was encounter
ed. Old mesquite timbers have
been removed, and the manner i i
which the old shaft was apparent
~ sunken speaks of oldness, ac-
cording to the min2r.
Rinehart tells the following sto
ry of the old town and the old
mine.
"The vein matter is ten feet from
front wall to hanging wall.
"This ancient mine is supposed
to have been operated by the pad
res one hundred and sixty years
go.
"Work on clearing the incline
has been suspended owing to the
water. In April, next, provisions
FOR han ing the water will be
made and work will be resumed.
"The old road leading from the
ruins to the mine can be readily
traced. The road is overgrown
with mesqu te bush. The locaters
of this ancient works do not ven
ture an opinion as to the depth
it will be necessary to go in order
to clear the debris from the in
cline, nor likewise are they build
ing any air castles on the riches
to be discovered.
"On the mesa surrounding the
ruins are numerous Indian graves,
some of which have been excavated
by relic hunters. Numerous shafts
have been sunk in the floors of
the buildings by bullion hunters.
'These ruins are located on a
bluff overlooking Canyon del Orc
wash. These buildings, the larg-
est of which is Is by 35 feet, are
constructed by boulders set in
adobe. Traces of the walls enclos-
'ng patio $50 feet by $50 feet
can be observed. To the south of
he Pueblo Viejo' is a shallow
oval pit with traces of surround
ing BOULDER walls. For what pur-
pose this was constructed is an
-nigma to puzzle over.
"Pueblo Viejo' is undoubtedly the
lite of an ancient Indian encamp-
ment of unknown tribe. At the
loot of the bluff are traces of old
irrigation works leading from
Romero canyon to water the fla
wer down." Tucson Star.

Council Declares Sum
Needed To Repair
Water Plant
SEE EMERGENCY

Declaring that an emergency eX-
lists and that $1,000 is needed by
the city of Nogales for the repair
and operation Of the water plant
and to relocate water and sewer
mains, the city council! Saturday
morning appealed to the state tax
commission in session at the city
hall.
Mayor Harms revealed the grave
conditions at the city water works
during the past few months when
huge pump broke down and the
burden was thrust onto single
engine. In asking for the levy,
itemized factors contributing to the
unforeseen and exhorbitant expense
caused by the pump break down,
the lack of water and the reloca-
ton of sewers due to pavement,
were described.
The duty of the tax commission,
Chairman Ed Hughes said. is to
determine whether an emereencv
does exist and another tax burden
should be placed on property own
ere.
Mr.. Hughes declared that he in
terprcted the emerge1oy law as
pertaining to .aither an act Of Coz
or All endemic Of diseawe. Council.
man O.. A. Smith told the com
mission that he believed drought
was an set Of Cod as well as ?
storm and that an nneroencv did
exist through the lax of suffici-
emf water at TIE water plant to
allow economical, operation.
1t was pointed out that the paw
ing program now under way has
been accompanied by unforseer
expenditures. The city has furnish
ed 9 great amount of water to the
contractors which has acted as a
drain on the wells and another ex.
pense has been incurred througI
ne essary reconstruction of mains
to allow proper paving.
The tax commission composed o.
Ed Hughes. chairman; Frank Luke
and M. A. Murphy, took the mat
ter under advisement with the ex
pectation of rendering decisio,
