State Historian J. H. McClintocI
 makes the astounding statement that
 for all its Mexicans and early Spanish
 history, Arizona's geographical dis
 tfonary contains less than 20 names oi
 Spanish origin. The American names
 preponderate here, he says, with In dian names in second place and witt | Spanish names weak third. In tho
 early history of the state, the historian ! says, there was a strong French in- l fluence here, French trappers work
 ing throughout the region and naming | everything they could find, but the
 French names did not survive. The | early Spanish influence, he says, also tried to stamp it's nomenclature I throughout the state but did not suc-
 ceed as it did in California, where the | Spanish dominance thrived for years | The historian recently was quoted to | the effect that he was making a l glossary of the Indian names in the
 the information thereon available, but | he says his plans are broader and
 that he wants to make up a glossary | of all the geographical names within 1 the confines of Arizona
 What automobile owners don't know ] about their own cars is large plenty. ! according to Nit Simms, secretary of 1 state. He says that not one in a thou 1 sand knows his engine. number, but | that what surprises him is that so many don't know their license num- bers. Several times daily, the secre- 1 tary says, license applicants have to go back to their machines in order to learn what their license numbers are, | and the very ones who don't know their own numbers are quite particu- lar about getting the same numbers for 1920.
 
 of Judge $. w. Mccall, Douglas. either for attending some .'frivol stuff in New York playhouse or else for brag- ging about it to folks who can't be there, State Land Commissioner w. A. Mouer says the judge ought to be ashamed. The commissioner isn't exactly cockerel himself, but he says that the judge is 60 years old.
 The judge writes gaily to his dear friend Mouer about attending the 'Frivolities of 1920" at the Forty fourth Street theater, New York, and of sit ting right smack in the front row. He says the show was put on with 21 frivols, instead of in three dinky acts. besides a grand finale frivol. and that the twentieth frivol was featured by the Adam and Eve girls" while the twenty first frivol depicted The Battle of Bayrum."
 Mouer believes that the judge really had a good time, but he insists flatly that the judge never should have done 1t. The judge writes in part:
 'T certainly wish you could have been here to attend this with me. I was down in the front row Such sights I never saw before" Some Of the letter shocked Mouer so terribly he refused to submit it for publica- tion, winding up with:
 And him a judge, too, 60 years old.''
 Living up in Oregon in the shadow of White Rock mountain there IS benefactor to humanity going to waste, as evidenced by letter received by a Phoenix man recently in answer to an advertisement the Phoenix man had inserted for the sale of some land in Arkansas. The Oregon man lives at Myrtle Creek, in Douglas county, and in answer to the Phoenix man advertisement, wrote as follows:
 My Dear Sir: I saw your Ad in the paper of a quarter section of land for sale. and thinking that you might De in Arizona for your health and that might be able to traid you a cure for your Jung trouble for your land in Arizona
 I have a positive cure for all forrns of consumption and to prove it will cure any person for one thousand dollars ($1o00), money to be paid when the patient is cured and not one 1 dollar before.
 I have cured over one hundred Oo0) | bad cases that were gave up to die | by the best doctors in this state and | in Cal.
 I am so shure that I have cure | that I will guarantee a cure in every | case or no pay.
 I have had doctors try 1t out ana 1 when thay saw what it would doe for | that dread diese thay would try to ! get my formila away from me so would have to quit them
 I am not a regestered doctor so have trouble with the doctors. thay | are jelous of me afraid that will get | this medicine before the people ana get the rewards that is offered Tor that dread diese.
 I have worked on this cure for over 25 years and I have spent lot of money and time on it and l have not got the money to get IL before the people in the way that l oughtto, 10 make a success of it and that Is the reason that I ask one thousand dollars for cure as I know that there is hundreds of people that would be glad to pay that if thay wer sure that thay were going to get cured, so I prom1s them a cure and if don't cure 1t want cost them nothing.
 I can cure so large percentage or the cases that if I get one thousand dollars for the ones that I can cure that can soon get enough money to take care of me as I am getting to that time in fife whare I cant do hard work much onger and as soon as I can get enough 10 keep me and my wife while we liv will giv my formilak to the world and hen Consumption will soon be thing )f the past.
 If you have not got lung trouble would you be so kind to give this let er to some one that has it and that you think would be glad to give me chance to cure them.
 I will close hoping to hear from you
