INTEREST TAKEN
IN ARIZONA BY Mr..
ROOSEVELT TOLD
State Always Had Warm
Spot in Heart for Colonel
He Did Much for Baby
State and Was Here Sew
eral Times

For years there was close association
between Theodore Roosevelt and Ari-
iona. a land in which he took the
keenest of interest, first manifested in
1898, when a squadron of Arioznans
furnished what the colonel called the
backbone" of his Rough Rider regi-
ment. When he became president his
appointee to the office of governor of
Arizona was the lieutenant-co of
the regiment, Alexander 0. Brodie, who
last year preceded his chief to the land
beyond.
It was during Brodie's administra-
ton, May 6, 1903, that President Roose-
welt made his first visit to Arizona,
though only to the Grand Canyon, on
the course of trip to the Pacific coast
Then he urged that the wild beauty OF
the canyons edge be unmarried by any
of the coarser works of man. The Sec
ond visit was a far more important one,
from the viewpoint of the people of
the Salt River valley, for he came, in
March 1911, to dedicate to the cause
of agricultural advancement the great
dam and the water storage reservoir to
which already had been given his
name. In Phoenix he spoke at the dedi-
cation of Saint Luke's home for con-
sumptives and at a plaza meeting as
sured his auditors that he saw no rea-
son why they might not try out any
experiment in self government, in
framing their state constitution.
In September, 1912, Col. Roosevelt
spoke in Phoenix in the course of his
campaign for president on the progress
sive ticket A fourth time he came to
| hunt big game in the little known re-
gion north of the Grand Canyon. In
the fall of 1916 he spoke in Phoenix
| in support of the nomination of Hughes
for president. For several years his
son, Archie, was a student at the Evans
school near Mesa.
Locally there has always been a
strong feeling of gratitude to Roose-
welt for the vigor of his support Of
the reclamation act in congress. There
| is little doubt that, but for his help, il
would have been passed in shape that
would have done little good to the loca
| irrigation enterprise. Arizona men
such as B. A. Fowler, Judge ]. H
Kibbey and George II. Maxwell, who
were working with the reclamation
service in Washington to assure thu
passage of an ample irrigation meas
ure, always found sympathetic interes
and aid in the White House.
These things now are being consid
cred by Arizonians, their memorie:
stirred by the campaign in progress BY
the Roosevelt Memorial association
Every county has been organized fol
the work and from every county ar,
coming reports of keen interest and o.
assured success.

says that the boy had purchased an
entirely new machine and hesitated to
admit 1t at first. The demand for
800 was shortly increased to $133,
for extras" and the father said he
paid it, believing the matter settled.
Shot After Writing Check
On the day of the shooting, however,
the father says the boy came to him
with a demand for $3.50 and the con-
fession that a new machine was down
in the city awaiting it's payment. The
father demonstrated, reminindg him of
the fact that he already had a good

derstand that the citizens of Phoenix

some time desired that Phoenix should
enjoy such a series of artist concerts.
These have now been arranged by the
musical people of Phoenix, who in their
turn are continually giving Of their
time and their talents for the benefit
of Phoenix. The musicians through the

this home to our business men and
ask them to support US in this our
first effort We feel sure that one
season of such artistic concerts will
help Phoenix and that her people need

have missed by not taking this step
before.
Thanking you for your assistance,
am, Yours respectfully,
