NEW YORKER |S
 AFTER BUSINESS
Vice President of National City Bank of New York Visits Arizona on Busi- ness and is Charmed With Phoenix

For the purpose of getting in touch
 with the business interests of Ari-
 zona, II. R. Eldridge. vice president
 of the National City bank of New
 York, has been in Phoenix for the
 past two days. Mr. ElIridge came
 here directly from Prescott. and con
 tinued on last night to Tucson. From
 there he will go to Bisbee, Globe
 Douglas and thence on to Fl Paso
 Largely because of his former ex- pericnce in the southwest. Mr. E,ld-
 ridge has been chosen for this posi-
 tion in the largest bank of the coun-
 try. The National City bank of New , York is known all over the world as the Standard Oil bank and is as strong financially as is that gigantic
 corporation.
 Before going to his present positoin MT. E(dridge was president of the First National bank of Houston, Tex. president of the Texas Bankers asso-
 citation and prior to that cashier for
 the Fl Paso National bank of Colo
 radO Springs. It was during this periOr of his career that Mr Eldridge became interested in irrigation. lead
 ing him to make some study of it.
 When the National City bank choose
 him to look after the increasing
 southwestern business of the com
 pany it did so largely because of , his understanding of conditions in the southwest. His particular territory
 includes New Mexico. Texas. Okla homa. Arizona. California, Nevada, [ Utah and Colorado.
 The visit to Phoenix has been a revelation to me- said Mir Eldridge last night, "to ride for miles over a desert and then come into such a
 charming oasis. and then to ride on , through out on to q desert again is an experience that can never be for gotten. I consider this section one of the best I have visited anywhere. The splendid soil the abundance of water. and the wonderful climate all
 conspire to make this one of the most delightful spots on Gods foot stool.
 'One of the things that has struck me very forcibly is the possibilities of this section as q feeding ground for cattle Milo maize and alfalfa form hard combination to beat in this respect My acquaintance with Texas has taught me that. Here in Arizona the cattle can be raised up on the mountains and pains. and fat tened for market in this smiling val ley It is perfectly wonderful" MT. Eldridge expects to make T number of visits to this section in the course of his official duties. The state strikes him as d wonderfully prosperous one with q splendid fu- ture, and full nf unexceptional Oppor- tunitieS for the present. He spent yesterday visiting with E. F.. and F. J. Jack, boyhood friends whom he was delighted to find so well situated at Glendale.

YAOU| INDIANS HOLD
 ANNUAL SPRING DANCE
Festival Attracts Large Number of
 Tourists and Sightseers

The annual spring dance of the Nauui Indians which is conducted at the settlement four miles south of Tempe and which began with sun- down on Good Friday and lasts un- til sunrise on Monday morning fol lowing Easter. attracted the usual large crowd of visitors on Saturday night There were residents of the valley and tourists among the onlook- CTS to the number of more than one thousand.
 Contrary to the general custom. the YaQuis onGcaVored to get away from the throng and made their way into the hills, but without much success. the crowd followed. and many saw tine dance just the same.
 The dance has both q religious and ceremonial significance to the Indians. The dancing is done by groups and has q figure formation at times. It partakcs of the nature of many of the Indian dances of the other parts uf the west and south. but is prob ably closer akin to the celebrations Of the Yaqui Indians in Sonora, Mexico. than any other The Indians in this settlement are a branch of the Yaqu Indians of sonora.

No Dice"
 Means in good old United States that a certain game of chance is forbidden Ihat sign is up over the candy and cigar counter in front of the I,amara Theater. But
 Mexican approached the counter yesterday to buy him sack of Ia : baco Del Toro. His eye fell on tho sign and he donated the man behind the counter a peculiar glance. He looked again at the sign as one would say. why, there aint no such animal Then he turned to the seller of cho- colates and magazines
 'Si el no dice. senor, que as que no dice? No comprendo el senal. Que quiere decir??''
 The candy man said. Me no spig- gotN, 'SpanoP '
 What does thees words meanit ?' asked the Mexican. "Eef he no tell whatt iss eet he no tell. No gotty good show here? Elf ] see thees show. meb- byso. I gotty no tell? Wassa malla?"
 What in the name of Pete do YOU mean?' asked the candy man, and his beWilderment piqued the Mexican and he went away without buying the Toro
 Soon he returned with another of his race. He pointed out the sign and they jabbered eXcitcdly for a moment Mexican No. , then addressed some questions to the keeper of condy, which peeved that gentleman exceedingly. He wanted to know what in time was the matter with the sign. No dice You can't shoot craps here. Don't you un- derstand that"
 That was just what the Spaniards could not understand. "dice" to them meant he tells" and should be said deesay. The sign conveyed to them the idea some one would not tell.
 And until the candy man sees this lucid explanation of the situation. he is liable to believe that there are a brace of crazy Mexicans in Phoenix.

RIVER ON THE RISE

\ twelve inch rise in the Salt river was expected to reach here last night between ten and twelve o'clock. It was reported coming over the Granite Reef dam a little over three feet above the average about ten o'clock yesterday morning. The river crossing. while it has been fairly safe during the past week is likely to be out of use for few days to come, especially for automobiles. The ford. owing to the high water of the past month is not in the best condition being rather deep and full of a little more than the ordinary amount of quick sand. The road through the entire bed of the river is being re- paired by the street commissioner of Tempe but until the high water re- cedes in the main channel the ford
 will remain as it is. For the present il has been deemed wise by the city marshal to advise all autOmobilists to take the route by the Center street bridge and avoid chances of getting stuck in the river.
