4MussELg oR aMuscLEs

There has been considerable dispute
regarding the spelling of Muscle
Shoals many claiming Il should be
spelled eAIussel.
According to maps of the original
survey and historicaa data Of original
and authentic character possessed by
John B. Weakfey, Birmingham lawyer
and capitalist and former resident of
Florence, Ala, from 1873 till 1876, the
shoals on the Tennessee river were
known as s'AIussel Shoals
Mr.. Weabley's parents and grand
parents resided at Florence and hand
ed down to him a wealth of historical
information, which he has displayed to
set at rest controversy that has
arisen over the original spelling of
Muscle Shoals
This data. according to Mr.. Weak
ley. shows that the Cypress Land
company purchased the land about
Muscle Shoals, from the, government
March Is. 1918, and the first white set
Elements were recorded that year, fol-
lowed by an influx of settlers the next
year. At that time the survey showed
the sfoaly section of the river as

quantities OF. the edible bivalve mus

tell of mussels being hauled out by the
wagon loads" declared Mr.. Weakley.

river and from the shell Of which in
earlier days may pearl buttons We're

Mr.. Weakley accounts for the partial
disappearance of the mussel from the
stream as a result Of floods and the
encroachments Of civilization.
When the government undertook to
complete the Muscle Shoals canal
about 1875, the data in Mr.. Weakley' (
possession shows. engineers changed
the name from tMussel" to Muscle
on government records. and it has SC
stood. This was not by design, but bg
accident in Mr.. WeakIey's opinion.
fNdr. Weakley possesses map which
he said was made 100 years ago. This
shows the spelling eMussel.r Several
copies OF the map are matters of rec
ord in the community, Mr. Weakley
said
Government records, insofar as they
are available, show the spelling Mus
| Gle shoals
Since Muscle Shoals became a ma
tiona1 issue, discussion of the name
has created numerous reports.
It was contended by army engineer
that the name never had been altered
and that it originated from an Indiar
story, heap, big Muscle" required t

Another story that came from TIL
Indians was that the shoals at tina
point in the river resembled the bicepl

IRRIGATION BONDS
OFFERED FOR SALE.

The bonds OF the Auxiliary Eastern
Canal Irrigation district are being
| offered for sale. the advertisement
appearing in the Republican of this
| issue
This is the first irrigation district
in Maricopa county to offer its bonds
for sale.
The engineering plans have been
completed for some time and the
general plans of the district have
been approved by the state certifi-
cation board
More than 5000 acres of land have
been already developed within the
boundaries of this irrigation district
and put under cultivation by means
of irrigation water pumped from IN
dividual pumping plants. he results
from these cultivated lands have
proved beyond question the Won
derful fertility of this SOIL and its
adaptability for all classes of citrus
culture, diciduous fruits. vineyard,
grain, alfalfa and long staple cot
ton.
The success attendant upon these
operations was primarily the reason
for the suggestion of the organiZa-
ton of this district, approximately
500 persons owning land within this
area, and it was their desire to
evolve some plan whereby perma-
nent cooperative and more econom-
ical method could be obtained for
securing the necessary irrigation wa
ter and the complete developments OF
the tract.
The proceeds of the bonds OF the
Auxiliary Eastern Canal Irrigation
district are to be used for the ac-
QUESTION, construction ana installa-
ton OF the necessary irrigation
works. including pumping plants,
wells, canas, distributive system. and
secuing the power to be used Tor
pumping and domestic purposes,
transformer stations and transmits
sion lines.
The men behind this project are
men thoroughly familiar, through
long residence here. with all condi-
tions pertaining both to agriculture
and water. The best endorsement
possible is that in every action there
has been scarcely a dissenting voice.
The engineers having to do with this
development, Howard s. Reed ana
Sheldon X. Baker. are thoroughly
conversant with all steps necessary
in developing an irrigation dlstrlct
project under conditions similar 10
those that prevail in the Salt River
valley. These engineers are actively
connected with the early development
OF the Salt River project.
The directors of the district are
III. L. Chandler of Mesa. president Of
the South Side Gas and Electric
company and extensive land owner
within the valley; Frank II. Parker
of Phoenix, well known rancher and
previously secretary of the Salt Riv-
er Valley ater Users association and
register OF the local United States
land office: and John d. Loper. busi-
ness superintendent of the Phoenix
city schools and formerly superin-
tendent OF schools in Mesa All OF
the directors own land within the
