Show m GRAFTOX. The weather is too warm and dry for farmers and cattle men. I see by The News that Springdale had about one-half its people down with the grip. That is bad enough, but the Hurricane Canal can discount that. I have just returned from a camp of eleven workers on the canal, and nine of them had to quit work and go home on account of the grip, and some of them have developed into severe cases. Another outfit of about the same number num-ber were all ready to go and commence work, but they took down one after another an-other until they had to give up going for the present. Had it not been for the grip the canyon would have been full of men, prosecuting the work oil this enterprise, and the roar of giant fuse and caps would nave been heard for miles around. |
