HISTORY OF FIRST
 ARIZONA REGIMENT
 HIGHLY CREDITABLE

The history of the First Arizona Regiment of the National Guard is a creditable one, making it an organiza- tion with which it is honor to serve. In view of the interest in it's history aroused at this time by reason of the recruiting now in progress here, Cap tain M. c. Browne, head of the recruit ing party, has secured the following history of the organization:
 The First Arizona Volunteers
 In 1864 authority was given to raise regiment in Arizona for ser vice against the Indians. For some reason this was not taken advantage of until the following year, 1865, when three companies were raised. Of the first company, H. s. Washburn was captain, and it was recruited to it's full strength, the most of the volun- teers being Mexicans. This company saw great deal of service in the Verde section, and had several battles with the Indians, in which it was in variably successful.
 The second company was under command of Captain J. D. Walker, and was composed principally of Ma ricopa and Pima Indians. This com pany, in one fight, killed about a hundred Apaches.
 The third company was under com mand of Oscar Hutton and did good service in policing the country from Date Creek to Prescott.
 These companies were handicapped for want of supplies, munitions and equipment, the soldiers of the regular army failing to support them. They were mustered out in the year 1866, having served, some of them, for over year without any pay whatever.
 Their services in behalf of the ter ritory were recognized by the military authorities at the time. Both General Mcdowell and General Halleck, in command of the Department of the Pacific, declared that, from a full knowledge of the country and the habits of the Indians, they were bet ter qualified for fighting the Apaches than were the regular soldiers, and even as late as 1868, the government was urged to authorize the raising of full regiment Mexicans, Indians and whites, frontiersmen, to operate against the Apaches, but without sue, cess.
 The record made by the Arizona volunteers will always remain a bril- iant phase in the history of the state.
 Spanish War Service
 Although no Arizona organization
The Coconino sun., 1917-06-08

appears as part of the army in the Spanish American war yet the mem bers of the First Arizona enlisted and served in large numbers in both the Rough Riders and the 1st Territorials.
 A captain and four enlisted men of Company K at St. Johns served in the 1st Territorials.
 20 members of Company A at Phoe- nix served in the 1st Territorials.
 21 members of Company at Phoe- nix served in the 1st Territorials and the Rough Riders.
 Five members of Company c, Tem- pc, served in the Rough Riders.
 Three members of Company D at Tucson served in the Rough Riders and five members of the company served in other organizations.
 Thirty members of the Mesa or ganization offered to go if they could have their own officers and on this being refused no men served from this company.
 One officer and 55 men of Company F served in the 1st TerritoriaIs.
 One member of Company G at Mo- gales served in the Rough Riders and a number served as packers with this regiment.
 Two members of Company H, Yu- ma, served.
 Four members of Company I, Flag staff, served in the Rough Riders and eight men of this company served in the Territorials.
 The above is as complete a record as exists in the office of the adjutant general. Many other members of the Arizona regiment served but Arizona had no organization known by her name.
 W. O. ONeill, formerly adjutant general, was killed at Santiago, Cuba, and fine monument has been erected to his memory at Prescott. Very few people know, however, that he was the adjutant general of Arizona.
 Later History
 The present regiment was organized in 1906. Colonel McClintock was the first regimental commander. He was succeeded in 1910 by Col. A. M. Tut hill of Morenci, who is still in com mand.
 The regiment is the only one that has been continuously in the federal service for full year, having been called out on May g, 1916. Men en- listed pow will be under federal and not state control. The only thing that state authorities can do is to nominate officers, who must be approved by the war department.

SUBMARINE CHASERS
 AT SAN DIEGO

Review of foatila of aerial coast patrol seaplanes, demonstration of the speed and utility of the new 40-knot submarine chasers now being em- ployed against German submarines. and the greatest military and naval parade in the history of California, will be some of the impressive fea- lures to be seen at the Friendship Fiesta to be held at San Dnego, June 22-24, inclusive.
 San Diego is the only city on the western seabord that has a well equipped and efficient aerial patrol squadron in actual commission. These great aerial scouts, piloted by skilled aviators of the American air service, will pass in review before General Esteban Cantu, military governor of Lower California, the governors of several western states and the may ors of more than 300 cities. A fiotilla of armed submarine chasers will fol- low the seaplanes in spectacular re- view.
 Another striking feature of the Friendship Fiesta, according to off, cials of the San Diego Progress Com mission, will be the flag and calis- thenic drills of thousands of American and Mexican school children. During these drills 10000 school children of San Diego city and county will form a great living American Flag. A water pageant in which brilliantly dec orated floats will form a pretty fea- ture, will be held on June g. Boat races, participated in by bluejackets attached to the San Diego naval train ing station, also have been planned.
 Thousands of Uncle Sam's defend CTS, representing every branch of the military and naval service are to march in a spectacular parade planned for the opening day of the Fiesta. Particular interest attaches to this parade owing to the location of the new cantonment for 30,000 troops at San Diego. During the parade eviat- ors will circle overhead.
 The strains of martial music will be heard at all hours of the day and night during the three days celebra- ton. General Cantu will bring with him from Ensenada the crack band of the Twenty-first Mexican infantry to supplement the bands of the United States military organizations and those of San Diego city and county.
 The Friendship Fiesta is being giv- en primarily to draw the cities of the great Southwest in closer unity, to stimulate trade and social relations and to promote an era of good will between the people of the southwest ern county and the people of Lower California and Mexico. A number of the most distinguished men and women in the southwest have cordial ly accepted the San Diego Progress Commissions invitation to take a prominent part in the three-day cele- bration. ....

The following is quoted from the May, 1917, issue of the National Wool Grower, page 33:
 Forest Fires
 By reason of the war, the United States Forest Service will be com- pelled to withdraw from supervision of grazing many of the forest rang CTS. These men will be urgently needed by the Government in connec- ton with the more important work of the War Department. Fortunately for the country, these forest rangers constitute very valuable arm of the Federal Army in time of war, and they no doubt will render the country great service in the next few months. We want to appeal to sheep men to assist the Forest Service in caring for the forests during the time of such fires, by staying within the bounds of allotted trails and allotted ranges, and by reporting trespassing on the part of other users of the for ests, our sheepmen can greatly reduce the annoyances and labor of the For est Service. In doing these things, our floclmasters will be contributing directly to a patriotic service to the nation, and we want to urge that they do everything possible during the coming grazing season to assist the Forest Service in handling the for ests."
 As the above editorial states, many officers of the U. s. Forest Service are to be sent to fight in the trenches of France and this means that this year as never before the burden of protecting the National Forests will fall more heavily upon those officers who are left here and upon you.
 Some of us from the Coconino Ma tional Forest are going to the front "to do our bit" and this appeal is made to you to perform a patriotic duty right here at home, by seeing that you and your employees do ev- erything that is possible to keep down forest fires is not to let them get started.
 Forest fires destroy valuable re- sources of the country, such as tim Der and grass, both more needed by this country now than ever before in its history, to supply food and build ing material not only for the Allies but for our own soldiers at home and abroad; fires are always scourge and a menace to any country.
 Will you help in this patriotic work this year as never before by being careful with fire in the Forest? JOHN D. GUTHRIE, Forest Supervisor.
