WAS EYE WITNESS OF
YOUNG ROOSEVELT'S END

LOS ANGELES, July 10 (by Assoc
ciated Press).-A graphic story of the
last fight of Quentin Roosevelt and
his plunge to death on the banks of
the Ourcq in France was brought to
Los Angeles by Harry Charles Weber
of Philadelphia, former machine gun
ner, who saw the entire battle. Weber,
who visited his uncle here, wrote the
account in a memorandum book on
the day of the fight. 1t reads:
Someone cried Look! and pointed
skyward. Quickly turning my eyes in
the direction indicated, I saw them
come together, a mighty crash and
some smoke. There was moment of
suspense. Then both turned their
noses toward the earth.
'The black one sped downward like
a bullet. 1t was a German The other,
silver-c olored, seemed to wilt and fall.
1t was American. A long, long way

be seen for a few seconds. Then out
they came, the Boche far ahead. It
seemed as if the Yankee machine
would right itself. It kept turning
round and round, the tail always
pointing upward. Sometimes it dipped
until it was almost horizontal. I felt
my whole body sway with it. knew
it was the last struggle of an intrepid
aviator, but it was all in vain. My
face grew hot and feverish, my fist
clenched, as against the golden clouds
of a beautiful sunset I saw his ma
chine crash headlong to earth for the
last time"
The battle took place over the Ger
man lines, and it was two days before
Weber knew he had witnessed the
death of Quentin Roosevelt.

The campaign resulted in the treating of 2S0,062 acres of range land, and 106,- 62s acres of cultivated crops, making total of 3S6,690 acres treated with pois- oned grain. A total of 52,S54 quarts, or over 26 tons of poisoned grain were used at over 2.672.7 rodent burrows. A total of 4,512 quarts of carbon bi- sulphide gas were used to a good ad- vantage at 7s,3o0 prairie dog holes.
 A total sum of s5s,57427 was expend- ed on the campaign by the several agencies as follows: Stockmen and farmers, $31, ,500.00; r s. biological survey. sl6.s06s7; State of Arizona, $s,644.60; Four counties. $1.522.S0. There was received from the sale of poison at cost a sum of $2,59s.13 which was re- turned to the state treasurer of A-i- Zona.
 Net return on investment: The mini- mum saving of crops is reported by the farmers to be $500 per acre, while many state that crops to a value of $250.00 per acre were saved. Using the minimum saving of $500 per acre as a basis, the destruction of at least 95 per cent of the rodents on 106,62S acres of cultivated lands has resulted in an an- nual saving of $533, 3,140.00 or over half a million dollars in addition to the value

WoopMEN OF THE WORLD.

The Woodmen of the World met in regular Session on July Sth with the largest attendance 1t has had for a long time. After the opening cere- mony the council commander called on our beloved past council commander. Sovereign Nealon, to preside, which he very graciously consented to amid the hearty applause from the entire audi ence.
 The camp was honored by the pres ence, and very inspiring and instruc- tive talk by Sovereign Cheatham, which was followed by very heart felt address from Sovereign Nealon.
 We also had one of the largest classes for initiation that we have had his summer, and if any one has any doubt of the Woodmen being able to put on an initiation properly just ask one of the candidates of last Monday night
 After the close of the business ses- sion the camp adjourned to the ban quet room, where Captain Sloan and his helpers had fine feed in waiting, one of the peculiar things about this part of the evening was the fact that all the newly made members insisted on standing up to eat.
 Next Monday night is our regular social evening and every one is ex- pected to be there. Remember that Phoenix camp meets every Monday evening at o'clock sharp, and every one should make it a point to be there and be on time.

Snakes Valuable Asset To State;

D. A Gilchrist representing the U. g. Biological Survey and the University of Arizona in the directing of the state wide poison campaign against rodent pests has just returned to state head quarters at 113 North Second avenue after touring northern Arizona in the interests of the prairie dog extermina- tion, and when consulted today made the following statement: Snakes, hawks, owls, eagles, badgers, and weas- els are our best friends and valuable asset to Arizona in as much as they live upon prairie dogs, pocket gophers, squirrels, mice and rabbits which de- stroy growing crops and forage for livestock worth many thousands of dol lars to the farmers and stockmen of the state.

The order is one of the oldest and has the most members of any fraternal order in America The goal of 500 members for Phoeniv lodge No. 2, is not by any means too high. The new Odd Fellows temple, which will be ready for oc- cupancy soon, will be one more sub stantial business buildings added to the many which Phoenix now has, It is fitting that the Odd Fellows of Phoenix are able to commemorate the one hundreth anniversary of the estab- iishment of odd Fellowship iri Amrica, by building the new home for the Phoenix lodge.

 In launching state wide campaign against rodent pests we have a tre- mendous task upon our hands in as much as we are undertaking to accom- plish in a reasonable number of years the extermination of pests which have accumulated in hundreds of years through mans carelessness in staying beneficial birds and mammals.
