TOMBSTONE EPITAPH ENDORSES
MARICOPA FOR NAME

Phoenix and the Salt River valley
are in the midst of an agitation to
change the name of the Salt River
Valley to Roosevelt Valley, claimed
by those sponsoring the move to be
a more appropriate title to the valley
inasmuch as "Salt River" suggests
something which the valley is not.
On the other hand opponents to the
move aver that the change of name
will not benefit one whit to the valley
which has grown and is fast growing
to one of the best in the country.
The pioneers especially cannot see
why the name should be changed af-
ter it has stood SO many years, AMI
they feel in a sense that the agitation
for the change is being sponsored by
the late comers to the valley who
have not helped in the pioneering.
We do not profess to predict whe-
ther the name will be changed, but if
so, we would like to see name Sc
lected more suitable-with all due re-
spect to that great American-than
Roosevelt. Why not call it Maricopa
valley, or Arizona valley. Either
would be more suggestive and more
descriptive to an outsider than RoOse-
velt.-Epitaph.

ARIZONA CATTLE AND CROPS

Snow in the northern part Of Ari-
zona and rain in the southern part
relieved the crop situation in the dis
tricts which depend on natural rain
fall. The supply of water in the res
ervoirs is ample to meet the needs
of farmers in the irrigation sections.
Planting of cotton and cantaloupes
in the Salt River Valley is in pro-
gress, with slightly increased acre
ages of both. The first crop of al
falfa is being cut: fair yield. The
second crop of lettuce is moving; re
turns satisfactory. Cattle are in good
condition, except in few particularly
dry localities. Wholesale and retail
trade is fair.

ARIZONA JUSTICE is NOT ALTO
GETHER DEAD

P. X. Lewis, bank looter and fugi-
tive from justice for months, has
been returned and was put on trial
here last week. After years of delay
and after the thousands of depositors
had been fleeced like a lot of "suck
ers" at the Fair Grounds, AriZonans
are surprised at the unusual activity
in busted bank affairs. OF course,
nobody believed it could be possible
that Lewis or any of his higher-up
associates would ever suffer the pen
atty of prosecution and imprisonment
1t sounds too much like the usual
prosecutions of state prohibition vio-
lators before Judge Kirk in the City
Courtroom the last few days. But to
the surprise of everybody the culprit
who cleaned up about million dol
lars of State and depOsitors money in
Arizona has been convicted of embez-
cling $4,000 from his defunct Central
Bank. A move is on now to secure
his indictment for conducting the
Wickenburg bank without the proper
capitalization. It is reported that the
Wickenburg Central branch of Lewis
Phoenix bank was one of the means
for Systematically trading securities
of doubtful value for gilt edge paper.
The doubtful securities, of course. be-
came frozen" and the State and
county and local depositors lost
about $140,000. The Wickenburg Cen
trail Banks capitalization of $4,000
was effected without cash for value,
by the use of Anchor Trust Company
bonds, backed up by the Central FL
nQnniQ1 C0YnOV0 HoEy'o
and the signature of former Governor
Campbell. It's capitalization appears
to have been much like that of a
''flyer faro bank. Yet it was used
to accumulate thousands of dollars
deposited under belief that it was q
legitimate banking concern P. X.
Lewis and his aide H. G. Springer
were freed by the dismissal of charges
against them of a grand jury indict-
ment at the request of q deputy of
r. E. L. Shepherd, then prosecuting
attorney. Springer was a client Of
Shepherds, for which Shepherd was
barred from the Grand Jury room.
Roy e. Bledsoe, 80 years old, son
of S. T. Bledsoe, general counsel for
the Atchinson,, Topeka and Santa Fe
railway, and brother of V. T. Bledsoe
of this city, shot and killed himself
about $3.50 a. m. yesterday at his
home, 535 West Lynwood street.
There were no witnesses to the shoot
ing, although Bledsoe's wife and her
sister were in an adjoining room at
the time the shot was fired DespOn-
dency over i'll health is believed to
have been responsible for Mr. Bled-
soe's act. He had been wounded dur
ing the World War and never fully
recovered.

F. chapter o the fact that the property could be purchased from the heirs of Joseph Clapp. His suggestion was favorable considered. and for twenty-seven years the Putnam Wolf Den was owned by the Elizabeth Por- ter Putnam Chapter. D. A. F. The price paid for it was Sl BOO. Some S200 was spent in providing a new entrance to the grounds. and each year money has been appropriated toward improving the grounds. About year ago Walter o. Filleg of the Connecti- cut Forestry Association informed the chapter that the state would like t0 purchase the property as nucleus for a new state park Knowing that the state could and would care for the property better than they could. the chapter offered to sell it for the pur- pose intended for the original cost price.
