June 19
Dwigiit B. Heard, acting fur the
tommittee, arranged yesterday to lie
sit the dam in time to' fill a large
demijohn with tlie first water that
flowed over the spillway, in order to
send it to Secretary of the Navy
Daniels to be, used in christening the
new battleship Arizona.
When it was learned that the water
would break over the concrete wall
lfore. Mr. Heard and his party
could possibly reach the dam, it was
arranged by Ions distance that Ro
bert Paul Holliday, 'official representative-
of The Republican at the High
Water Celebration, should secure at
all costs a few of the precious quarts,
to be used in naming the new dread
liauglit. .Mr. Heard's iwirty at the celebra
tion will consist of the old board of
water commissioners, or such of
them as are able to go: W. D. Ful
wiler,, Frank I'. Trott, Charles Gold
man and Dwight B. Heard. J. T.

members of the original board have

Because of the serious illness of
his mother. City Commissioner Frank
Woods was unable to attend the
meeting of the commission plauncl
for last evening and in consequence,
in accordance with the announce
ment of Mayor Young, the commis
si: i decided to defer to a later late
important matters scheduled to be
brought up at this time.
In viev of the fact that there were
many citizens present who desired to
be heard on various matters. Mayor
Young called upon them to express
their wishes.
Miss Buntett, who owns property
at Fourth and Adams street, pre
sented her objections to the corral
maintained by the City Ice Delivery
company not far from her property.
She objected to the early morning
noises which disturbed her slumber,
the odors which she said hindered
rtntlng her property and the in
crease in insurance rates from $IC
to $28 per $1,000, which she said was
occasioned by the presence of hay
in the building. The commission
promised to consider her objections
I in connection with the general corral
subject.
Objection was made by a repre
sentative of the licensed automohil
isls to the listing of cars with the
chamber of commerce by persons no'
possessing licenses who are agree
iry; to carry" passengers for hire to
Roosevelt and return today. City
Manager Robert A. Craig said he had
notified Chief of Police Brisbois that
the ordinance requiring a license fee
of $15 and the filing of a bond be
enforced unless the commission ruled
otherwise. The commission expressed
approval of this step and directed.
that the ordinance be enforced.
After hearing briefly from a man
introduced by Dr. Ramsey, relative
to the absence of annoying condi
tions at the corral on West Jefferson
street, the commission adjourned to
Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock at
which time a meeting will be held
for the purpose of canvassing the
vole at the recent election and to
! transact other important business.

Many men' and women reach the prime of life, bur
dened with stomach trouble, headaches, constipa

the cause is the drug, caffeine, in the coffee they

You can quickly tell if coffee is injuring your health
by stopping it teu days and using '
INSTANT POSTUM
This delicious, pure food-drink contaius no caffeine
nor any other liaimful ingredient. It is wholesome
and inVigoratinr, with a snappy flavour very like
that of the Old Cov't Javas.
And Instant Postunt is so easv to make. Put a
level teaspoonful in a cup and add hot -water
that's all.
The convenience of Instant Postuni is seen at n

Postuin Cereal the 'original form, which must be
well boiled, 15c. and 25c packages.
Grocers sell both kinds, the flavour is equally de

privilege of helping sack the
spillway in order to delay
the '.'slopping over" until
the valley could move to tin;

process. He offered to stand
his share of the expenses,
cheerfully. But it was point
ed out that it would take
thousands of sacks of earth
piled" along tour hundred
and twenty feet of concrete
spillway to dam up the wa
ter sufficiently to stay its

only, would it cost a large,
sum, but it would be next to
imposisble to get the sacks

UES SUSTAINED FLOW!
FINANCES AND
MARKETS
BY R. R. BRIGGS,
U. S. Section Director.
in the mountain districts the great-
cr pari 01 inc av,ion v..
occurred during the first three days,
but the weather continued unsettled
with occasional lighter storms during
the remainder of the first decade. H
held cold throughout February and '
early March, and for this reason the
accumulating snow of this period set
nil lmt little at the higher levels
and became much drifted! the solidly
packed snow consisting chiefly of the
laver remaining from the storms of
the earlier winter. In enrly March, at
altitudes above 7.0H0 feet, the snow
had reached greater depths than for
many years, and more snow was re
ported from various sections than evr
berore known to white settlers. Tne
remarkable depths attained were at
tributable not only- to the unusually
heavy and frequent storms of the late
winter, but In a considerable degree,
as well, to the persistent cold and
the deficient sunshine. Under these
conditions there was less than the
usual softening and settling. With
bright sunshine and higher temper
ature, there was much anytime melt
ing during the last 2" days of March.
Below the 7,500-foot level much of the
snow disappeared, that remaining be
ing mostly in drifts and patches, ex-,
cept upon northly sloiies, which were
generally fairly well covered con
sideralJly below that level, especially
in forested areas. Between 8,000 and
9,!i00 feet, while there was a marked
decrease in depth there was relatively
there were 300,000 miners'
inches of water adding, to
the reservoir vesterdav or
nearly 13,000 acre feet to the
twentv-four hours. The ca
pacity of the gates is simply:
not big enough to lower this
increase enough to inate-j
rially hold back the interest
ini moment,
little loss in actual water content.
March reports from the Santa Rita,.
Chiricahua, liiucon and other ranges
of " the southeastern counties, from
the Grnham, Pinal, Sierra Ancha,
While, Blue and Mogul lun Mountains
in the east-central sections, and from
the northern plateaus and ranges give
accounts, almost without exception, of
an unusual amount of snow at the
higher levels and variously indicate
the snow line for northerly sloies at
from 6.000 to 6.800 feet. It is locally
reported from Coconino county that
over the plateaus, at approximately
7.000 feet, about 50 per. cent of the
pine-forested tracts was covered at.
the close of the month with from 7
to IS inches of snow.
In the snow survey of the Parudise
errek section of the White Mountains
it was found that the low,er limits of
snow at the end of March this year
were about 1,000 feet below those of
the same time last year, and the sur
vey also showed that practically the
sa.me difference in altitude obtained
over the entire district for like rondi
tions of depth and density Inj these
years. Last year there was but little
snow below the S.500-foot levei Ishile
this year there was an a.verage of 20
inches at slightly less than S.000 feet
and an average depth of 36 inches
over the area between S.000 and 9,300
feet, with an average water content
of 9 inches.. In these 'comparisons
consideration should be given to the
rapid ratio of increase in the anow
covered area of the mountain 'dis
tricts with each 100 feet of decrease
in the altitude of the snow line.
, Over 4he watershed tributary to the
Roosevelt reservoir the snow condi
tions at the close of March were such
as to assure capacity storage. -considerably
in advance of the end of the
melting and to indicate the.. prob
ability of a sustained run-off well into
the spring equal to or in excess of
the amount necessary for use, .
For the state as a whole, the growl
ing season opened with an unusually
favorable outlook for water supply.
There was more snow it the. higher
levels than for many years past," all
streams were running fairly full from
I he melting at moderate elevations,
