ARIZONA NUMBER
OF SUNSET MAGAZINE

Nowhere has the white man
fought a more courageous fight
or won a more brilliant victory
than in Arizona. His weapons
have been the transit and the
level, the drill and the dredge,
the pick and the spade. and the
enemy which he has conquered
has been the most stubborn of all
foes the hostile forces of ma
ture. The story of how the white
man, within the space of less
than thirty years, penetrated and
explored and mapped this almost
unknown region; of bow he car
ried law and order and justice in
to a section which never had so
much as speaking acquaintance
with anyone of the three before;
of how realizing the necessity for
means OF communication, he
built highways of steel across the
territory from east to west and
from north to south; of how, un-
dismayed by the savageness of
the countenance which the des-
ert turned upon him, he laughed
and rolled up his sleeves and
spat upon his hands and slashed
the face of the desert with canals
and irrigating bitches, and filled
those canals and bitches with
water brought from deep in the
earth or high in the mountains;
and how, in the conquered and
submissive soil. he replaced the
aloe with alfalfa, the mesquite
with maize, the cactus with cot
ton. forms one of the most in
spring chapters in our history.
1t is one of the epics of civiliza-
ton, this reclamation of the
Southwest and It's heroes are,
thank God. Americans.
Thus has E. Alexander Powell
F. R. G. S., and world renowned
travel writer, spoken of our state
Mr.. Powell has shown so much
enthusiasm in bearing a massage
of progress to the world about
Arizona's wealth that he is writ
ing a long and brilliant article
about us and our state which
Sunset Magazine will illustate in
four colors and publish in it's
October number.
This is a work we can all afford
to boost and boost we'll. We have
more to be proud of in a days
work than any state in the Union
and it is the duty of every loyal
Arizonan to "let his light so
shine" that his brothers in less
favored lands may know the
truth and be guided thereby.
We cannot all express our
views in the polished language
of Mr.. Powell, but we can aid in
sending his words broadcast. If
you have friends or relatives in
the east, see that they each get
a copy of Sunset Magazine for
October. 1t will do them good
and if they heed Mr.. PowelPs
words and come to Arizona while
the coming is good, they may
live to thank you for your trouble. .

TROUBLE FOR THE
RANCHERS TRUST co.

the line OF nlgn HnanclorlnS ever
known in the southwest is now
being aired through criminal ac-
tions instituted by the Arizona
Corporation Commission against
the Ranchers' Trust company, OF
Phoenix. The following tele-
gram received yesterday by
County Attorney O'Sullivan, will
clear away any doubt entertained
of the purposes of that concern,
as well will it serve to prevent
any stockholders being trapped
in the game that has been Sc
successfully worked in the big
gest and widest raid on range
men ever chronicled in the west:
phoenix, Arizona, August %,
1913. County Attorney O'Sulli-
van, Prescott: Arrest and pros
ecute any agents of the Ranch
ers' Trust company, offering its
capital stock for sale. They have
no permits and are operating in
Yavapai county. Prosecute I'm
der the Blue Sky Law.
"(Signed) w. P. GEARY,
Chairman"
This determined action to run
down those who have been ident-
flied with this so-called illetgiti-
mate concern, follows from re-
cent revelations made in the
transactions of three agents, who
have been working the fields of
Apache, Navajo, Coconino and
Yavapai counties so thoroughly
and successfully that the sum of
$275, coo in steSk had been sub
scribed and paid for. principally
by notes. The victims were care
fully picked out, and it seems as
if none but rangemen of rated
financial ability were to be solici-
ted. In harmony with the con-
certed cleanup" so neatly car
ried out, a large number of the
best-known men of this industry
in the counties above have their
names decorating the list of stock
holders that has been secured
and is now in the possession of
attorneys interested. They are
said to number at least $50.
In the maeistrom, the danger
of getting into too deep water in
the treacherous sea of finance,
seems to have led to the trouble
that is now evident. The three
agents were selling the stock at
$4,000 per share out
of which the difference
between $3.50 a share and 112. so
was to go to the one making the
sale. This gave the agent 7.5O
for each and every share sold. a
percentage of 25 per cent. for
the mere placing of the stock,
which on the face of the trans
action was simply an outrage.
and which no legitimate banking
concern would entertain for a
moment.
The prospectus of the Ranch
ers' Trust company contained
the specific provision as follows:
1.-The capital stock will be sold
for not less than $3.50 per share.
Positively the company will issue
no promotion stock, and no Off
Ger, director, or any one else
will get any of its stock without
paying to it the net, the same
amount as subscribers pay"
Another attractive provision
contained was that no officer or
director was to draw one cent of
= salary until it opened its doors
for business and began to earn
money.
The glaring feature. however,
of the affairs of the Ranchers'
Trust company, is revealed, in
the articles of incorporation filed
last February, in which the fol-
lowing provision clearly outlines
the elasticity of its field agents
to work at will and under any
system of manipulation to get
