HOW ROOSEVELT DAM
 SECURED ITS NAME
IL is No Longer Known Officially as the Tonto Dam, Which Name Has
 Become a Sander to it's Fair Fame.

The irrigation editor of The Repub- lican was strolling down the street the other day when he met Constant Reader. who by the way is not farm
 er nor an irrigaticnist even though he likes to wet up" bit now and then. Mir Constant Reader took him to task about d matter which had been prey ing on his mind for a long time He is an d-timer in these parts and something of an antiquarian and arch aeoiogist He clings to the customs of the older days when Arizona was real ly what a lot of eastern people think il isf still. a trifle wild and woody and at least distinctive and characteristic in its nomenclature. as witness such proper names as Humbug creek. Tip Top and Nulture mines Squaw Peak. Picket Post Tombstone. Silent and other unique names of towns. Super stition mountains. etc etc. His kick was that the big dam of the Salt river storage project was consistently called the Roosevelt dam when the right name for it was "Tonto" dam
 Constant Reader said he had inter viewed his neighbors. Vox Populi. F.. Pluribus Unum. Citizen. "One Who Knows" and Anonymous" on this matter and they all agreed that The Republican was at fault in the matter: that it had gone hero wOrshipping and insisted on calling it Roosevelt dam in honor Of the president regardless of its time-honored title of Tonto. and the practice had been construed as d di- rect slap in the faces of the old pio- neers. He said moreover that he had taken occasion within recent weeks to

 est authority possible for MT Davis has been generally credited with the paternity of that structure and if a man don't know the names of his own children. to whom shall the seeker aft CT information apply
 Constant Reader would not be sat isfied until after he had bought d round of cigars and eXacted a promise that the matter would be taken up for a searching investigation and the facts given to the world in such a way they could be depended upon. and here's the answer: Roosevelt is the official name. blown in the bottle. the regis tered trademark and there is none genuine without it. Anybody who calls il Tonto is a has been" or has asSoci- ated with the pioneers until he has grown careless. MT. Davis may be for given for he is something of an old timer himself. having prognosticated around these Arizona hills before most people knew they were on the map. In fact when this baby was first born it was 'christened "Tonto" and the name was changed only when the time came for the Voungster to demand na- tional recognition and beseech his old Uncle Sam for money with which to cut some figure in the world. Mir. Hill may be excused for he> has met so many old timers during ccnstruction work here that he has hard work sometimes to know where he is at in more serious things than the name of the dam site.
 The naue TGnto was originally giv- en to the dam site because it is locat- d very near the confluence of Tonto creek and Salt river; It seemed the natural name for Il and every Arizon- ian accepted it as most appropriate. the more as it was on the ground made historic b., the Tonto Apaches. But down in Washington they have grown mighty finnicky about names in these later years and everyone suggested for a postoffice or anything else fwherein the government has chance to give approval. has to measure uD to the bureau idea. The name must not he too long, nor compounded and its meaning must be clear. Name words must have good reputation if they get into polite official society. When the censors down in Washington found oBt that the word Tonto in the Apach- language meant fool they went up in the air. IL would never do to have the first and one of the greatest of the reclamation projects known as a f .Dl project nor would 1t do to subject the project to the derisi0n of the jester. And in hunting for a newer and better name there was none more appropriate for the first great project than that of the president who signed the reclama-- ton bill. All the appropriations are made for the "Roosevelt'' dam, all the official maps of it carry the legend Roosevelt dam. and the contract made with MT O'Rourke was for the construction of the Roosevelt dam.
