June Issue of Official Or
gan of the Rotary Clu!
lias Interesting Story of!
fJig Celebration at Roose
velt on April 1.3
. .The June issue of "The Rotarian"
designated us the "California Number",
is just out. It contains among a host
of other Rood things an interesting
story of the activities of the Phoenix
Rotary club in connection with the cel
ebration at Roosevelt dam on April 15.
The Rotarian in this connection
says:
"The members of the Rotary Club of
Phoenix (Ariz.), on April 15th. helped
the citizens of Phoenix and the Salt
River Valley to celebrate the realiza
tion of a hope tenaciously held for ten
years. On that day the great reservoir
formed by the Roosevelt dam was full
or the first time and a supply of wa
ter to Irrigate 300.000 acres of fertile
land was assured. A million and a
quarter acre-feet of water is held back
of the .olid masonry! Knough water to
irrigate the entire arta under the dam
tor a period of three years even if not
a drop of rain falls in that time!
'What were the thoughts of the in
habitants of this valley when the bald
statement was made 'The dam is full"!
Ki r ten years some of them had wait
ed for this moment, toiling, struggling,
hoping and believing that it would
come true, and cheering up their
doubting and less hopeful neighbors to
stay with the game until the victory
ws won.
"The strained, hopeful look has given
way to a confident smile and the
rancher now goes about his work
knowing that when his land is ready
and th.- seed is sown he can open the
finite gates and let the precious 'rain'
upon it at the proper time and in just
the right amount.
"A million and a quarter acre-feet of
water means water to the depth of one
foot over a million and a quarter acres.
It manti a depth of four feet over the
30i.00fl acres in the valley that can be
irr-gated.
"The Roosevelt dam of 'The Salt
River Project was begun by the United
States reclamation service September
20th. J0fi. The last stone was laid
February 15th. 1911. It is 240 feet high
from the river bed to the roadway on
top, 20 feet thick at the top and 167
feet thick ot the bottom. The foun
d'iti"n extends down 40 feet into the
solid Led rock, and deep into the rocky
v;;11k on each side of the 1125-foot w ide
structure.
"For four years after its completion
the dam enabled the ranchers of the
vailey to irrigate their land. but the
great storage reservoir was not com
pletely filled until April 15th last, when
the first writer flowed over the spill
ways in the presence of thousands of
the valley's residents.
"The Phoenix Rotarians send this
message: 'Brother Rotarian. this dam
and the wonderful scenic roadway
leading to it comprise one of the won
ders of the West that you should see
on your way to the convention at San
Francisco. Phoenix Rotary will be
glad to see you on the wav."
The proportion of Mexicans, or those
i of Mexican parentage registered were
j 31 per cent and negros .029 per cent,
j besides Indians, Chinese and Japanese,
the a erase made were based on those
I registered since I took charge of the
j office.
! It is practically impossible to give
j the occupations as people are classified
in many lines of work, the greater pro
portion being ranch bands, skilled me
chanics being about 5 per cent of the
whole.
I believe that the proportion regist
ered in this office during the a?ar as
compared to the entire number out of
employment, those living in Phoenix or i
drifting in or out, to be about 40 per 1
cent: or, in other words, between 11,- I
000 and 12,000 persons were in Phoe- i
nix during ti:e year, unemployed and
seeking work during the month of I
! November fully 2.000 people were in
such .- position. At the time I took
the poc'tion, the Kuropean war had just
started, the mines shut down, business
houses curtailed expenses, banks tight
ened up on loans, building operations
practically ceased and farmers had no
sale for their produce, labor suffered
more than its proportion, many did not
average 5 days work per month, skilled
mechanics, office men and others took
any kind of laboring work to eke out
an existence.
The situation has now eased some
what, a large proportion getting back
to the mines or going to other points.
Phoenix not being on any main line se
cures a better average grade of work
ers than most places, less of the bum,
tramp or whiskey soak element.
The office was handicapped in many
wa.s from securing full efficiency dur
ing this period, from Aug. 10 to Dee.
the telephone number was not in the
'phone book and the old number was
in the name of an opposition employ
ment concern. Since December we
have had no advertisement calling the
attention of the public to this depart
ment, outside of a small sign on our
bulletin board we have no way of iden
tifying the place; again, by an error of
the 'phone company the wrong address
was given in their book: regardless of
these facts we believe that the office
has proven itself a success to a great
number of satisfied clients, both em-
Plovers and emoloves. I

mer boys' secretary, and Professor
Colodny of the high school, who will
assist the lads in keeping their rec
ord books, and a book filled with
their impressions of the trip.
Two mules and a wagon will also
act as assistants to Boardman. On
the wagon drawn by the "canaries"
will ride the grub and part of the
boys art of the time.
A one day's stop will be made at
Mormon Flats, where fishing will be
the cure for the pent up energies,
which will not have been frayed out
by that time.
It is expected they will reach the
dam on Friday or Saturday, making
about twenty miles a day on the up
trip. This will be possible, as a
part of the bos will ride in the
wagons, until the walkers become
tired, then they will be relieved by
the rested ones.
After the boys have fished to their
hearts' content m the dam they will
make excursions into the hills around
Roosevelt, exploring the mines and
ancient ruins thereabout. A trip will
be made up into the Tonto basin, and
then will come a big surprise for the
boys, which Secretary Boardman re
fused to divulge last night. He af-
firms however that it will be a new
one on the kids and will please
them exceedingly.

A knowledge of Spanish is neces
sary on account of the large percent
age or Mexicans applying for work,
who Fiieak no English or but very lit
tle: also a knowledge of the city and
county around, likewise a person has to
be familiar with the class of work of
various occupations and especially
ranch work.
As a comparison of the amount of
business transacted in this office as
compared to Los Angeles free employ
ment bureau, we find Los Angeles does
approximately eight times as much
business with a population of 20 times
our size. AVe have been unable to get
the exact figures only that nearly 2500
positions are given out each month,
based on the spring of 1914.
The biggest proportion of the work
done by the office cannot be shown on
the records, such as advising appli
cants where to seek employment, tele
phoning to innumerable parties for ap
plicants, or to get those already listed,
a fair average would be not less than
50 Buch calls per day, besides renewing
of applications, we renew the applica
tions instead of re-registering; after a
certain time cards are taken out of the
active list unless the applicant calls at
the office, therefore it is necessary 'to
call frequently so as to keep the appli
cation alive.
Inasmuch as the office is a free pub
lic institution, for the benefit of all,
both those seeking help and those seek
ing employment, active co-operation
should be given by all to its advance
ment. There is no question from a hu
manitarium standpoint that it is a
great help to the unemployed.
The old method of having people pay
for a job is obsolete as well as wrong.
Since the establishing of this office all
private pay offices have gone out of
existence with the exception of one,
which i used merely as a side issue.
As for those seeking employes a cen
tral labor exchange is an economy both
in time and money. We do not offer
a nlace to anyone until we secure a
complete list of what the applicant for
a position gives as his or her occupa
tion or class of work, then we fit that
to the positions offered. AVe are more
apt to get a person's true fitness for a
position that way than by informing
him or her of a certain position and
asking if he or she can fill it, as on ac
count of their desire or necessity tor
work the applicant conceives the abil
lty to fill the requirement. This oc
curs where labor is picked up on the
outside or posted on bulletin boards.
We believe that active co-operation of
employers with us would raise the
standard and efficiency of labor. Again,
if those desiring labor of any kind,
whether skilled, common, office or do
mestic would notify the office suffi
ciently In advance an to their require
ments :n detail, a more satisfactory re
suit would be accomplished as has been
proven in numbeiless instances.
e believe that a working mens
Free Club, connected with the employ
ment bureau would be a help both to
the department as well as to the em
ployed and unemployed men: a place
fitted up plainly with tables, chairs and
reading matter properly ventilated,
would cost but little: as it stands to
day there is no place in Phoenix where
the laboring man can go, where he can
feel comfortable and at ease. The
Public Library is too far out and at
the same time is not suitable for this
purpose; the Y. M. C. A. does not cater
to them and sectarian missions are not
broad enough. These men represent
a majority of our population.
In this respect, in case the mayor and
city commissioners decide to erect a
hand stand to the plans of Dr. Redewill.
the basement could be used for this
purpose in addition to the plans al
ready outlined.
As to the needs of the office, we
would suggest that a sign be painted
for the office and that tin signs be
posted up at various cross roads, as
well as standing advertisements be
maintained in the newspapers, railing
The Decoration Day holiday will be
celebrated at Riverside Park with a
number cf special events. This af
ternoon the program of sports to be
held in the big swimming pool is
both interesting and amusing. As
a starter there will be a special
match race between Mrs. Harry Pear
son and Miss Viola Hartman. These
two rival.-; nave met a number of
times with varying results and the
race this afternoon will settle the
question of supremacy between them,
it should be the best event of the
day.
Next on the program is a fifty
yard breast stroke, free for all and
after that conns the obstacle race.
In this contestants have to walk the
inclined ,ole with their clothes on,
swim to first raft, leave their trous
ers there, sw'm to second laft and
leave shirt t';ere. swim to foot of
slide, climb ladder and come down
slide, swim to rafts, put on clothes
and return to starting point. Con
testants for this ra-3 should bring
o'd trowel's ard shirt with ".hem
A 50 yard back stroke; free for all:
carrying the apple, 50 yards; and a
high and fancy diving contest com
plete the list. Prizes will be given
to the winners in all the events.
In the evening the big attraction
will be the special holiday dance in
the big pavilion. A number of special
stunts have been arranged for this
which will make it more than uauall"
attractive. After the dust and heat
of the f'ay there could be nothing
mor: enjoyable than a dance in the
cool of the evening. The floor of
the big pavilion is as nearly perfect
an it is possible for a dance floor
to be and no better dance music can
be found in the valley than that fur
nished by Jack Abbotfs orchestra.
A concert by the First Regiment

SHOCKING OF SOCIETY
ON THE HOLY SABBATH
A Ibuquerquean Association
of the Senators Begin
ning With the Mutilation
of an Unof'fendinij Young
Person Named Toner
(BY SALLY JACOBS)
.Goodness only knows what compli
cations will arise as the direct result
of yesterdays ball game. It would be
impossible for even the well informed
to hand down a decision until the interstate-laws
have been thoroughly
gone into and before the matter is
settled the nation itself might become
involved. Several of the most promin
ent citizens, members of both houses
of the legislature, city officials repre
sentative business and club men and
well k'.iown society women witnessed
the murder of the Senators by the New
Mexico invaders.
There is no doubt that great pres-
and night enjoyable, and it is ex
pected that a great many will take
advantage cf the holiday to visit the
park.
For the convenience of patrons
visiting the park the restaurant will
serve a special popular priced table
dhote dinner, the same as on Sa
turdays and Sundays.
Ordinarily Monday is known as
Mother's .Day and the yark is f i ce
to women and children tut on ac
count of the holiday U.e free list
will be cancelled today.
j sure will be brought to bear and men
high up in the affairs of state may
j ask for leniency despite indignant pro
i tests, of the intelligent hundreds who
I are familiar with the circumstances and
whose testimony should convict the ac
cused. Because out on parole they will be
free to play ball today and if their
behavior is not good Phoenix will be
glad to see them get their extradition
papers.
Mr. Hester is granting them a re
prieve of one day for we were to have
had them with us for the last time on
Sunday. The trial this morning will be
public and will start promptly at ten
thirty o'clock. Many interested from
j a moral and civic standpoint will be
j present. It is understood that Mr. Ster
I ling win be the presiding judge which
unfortunately wjll not meet with tltn
approval of either party. It is a mat
ter of general regret that the case can
not have a jury trial. Sjmpathy seems
to be almost entirely with the Phoeni
cians and the local papers are backing
them the limit.
One of the star witnesses will be Mr.
McArdle whose one hand latch off a
prehistoric" person named Huelsman
caused a distinct sensation and many
have averted one more crime. The Al
buquerque offenders are certainly not
gentlemen they do not give the Hall
a chance. They do not wait until" it
meets them but out goes the bat and
away goes the ball not a jitney but a
Twin Six Packard.
