Water Situation
Greatly Improved

The recent rains that have been
general over the San Carlos Pro-
ject irrigable lands and watershed
have probably put 10000 acre feet
of water into the soil of the ir-
rigable lands but as yet have add
ed very little to the amount in
storage.
Rainfall Of the past 7 days am.
ounted to approximately IL inches
at the Casa Grande Ruins and was
probably much greater at Coolidge,
1 mile distant. Unfortunately there
is no measuring gage on the town
site. The precipitation at Coolidge
Dam was the most of any section
from which reports have been re-
received and amounted to 3.9 in
ches with 2.65 inches falling on the
18th and goth. This is considerably
in excess of the average precipita-
tion for December Up to the
morning of the 21st the gain In
San Carlos Reservoir, on account
of the storm, had been but 450 acre
feet. 1t is believed that gains will
be reported shortly as the water
gets down the rivers to the re-
servoir. Water Commissioner Firth
reports 125 sec. #, in the Gila River
at Stafford on the 21st and more
in the upper tributaries. The San
Pedro River had 81 sec. IT. at Ma
mmoth on the goth. Mineral Creek
and Dripping Springs Wash began
to contribute to the river below
Coolidge dam on the goth.
The first appreciable gain in the
river at the Ashurst-Hayden Dam
came on the goth. ALI release at
Coolidge Dam was cut off on that
date. On the morning of the 21st,
$50 sec. TT. was entering the main
canal in place of the usual flow Of
about 125 sec. #. The surplus water
is now being stored in Picacho Re-
servoir.
1t is apparent that large part
of the precipitation Is remaining
in the ground. 1t is also known that
it is in the form Of snow on the
high elevations Of the drainage
area. Snowfall on Graham mount.
ain is reported by the Forest Ser
vice as 18 inches on the goth. On
other areas above 5000 It. eleva-
ton the snow is from IA to 16 in
ches deep with prospects Of re-
naming there for the winter. Now
that the drainage area Is well
saturated, additional rains should
add to the amount of flood water
that comes down the Gila River to
San Carlos Reservoir in the late
winter and early spring months.
On account of its limited capa-
city, the Picacho Reservoir will
probably be filled before the end
of the month and free water will
then be available for the project
irrigable lands. Most land owners
have not used up their 2 acre feet
per acre which is available for the
payment of the basic charge. The
new water offers an opportunity to
store water in the land without
additional charge, for next seasons
crops. On account of the thorough
manner in which rains have irri-
gated the lands, there is little ir-
rigation demand for the water which
is coming into the canals.

Started Mexico's Revolution

THE fnai months of the Diaz
 administration in Mexico plunged the nation swiftly into it's third great sociaI-economic revolution.
 Successful and beneficenu as had been many of the Diaz policies, others had been utterly reaction- ary. By 1910, 96.9 per cent of the rural heads of families owned no real property. Approximately 10,- O00,O00 Indians, three-fifths of the population, in addition to tosing their communal lands had become mere serfs. In short, the condi- ton of the masses was more de. plorable than it had ever been.
 Rural education was sadly neg lected; the reform laws were not observed; foreign concessionalres were so favored that national re- sentiment ran high. Finally. the Diaz government had become a closed political corporation. So discontent famed at last into armed rebellion, and this in turn was the occasion for general up- heaval.
 Francisco Madero leaped to the front to offer the people new re- forms. Diaz attempted to sub-
