Dean Cummings Completes
Tracings of Ancient Canal
System Near Casa Grande

Dean Byron Cummings of the Uni
versity of Arizona has completed the
tracing of the ancient canal system
in the district surrounding Casa,
Grande, according to an announce
ment. Cummings says that the con-
struction of the San Carlos project
threatens to obliterate all traces of
the ancient system and as result of
his work in conjunction with num-
Der of the university students, the
records of canal systems will be pre-
served for posterity.
Cummings says that the ancient
system dates back approximately 1000
years and that the laterals indicate
that a considerable population was
supported by the irrigation system
which was then in existence.
Three main canals were traced on
the south side of the ella river, while
two were traced on the north side of
the river by the survey party. The
region surveyed consists of a district
extending from six miles above Flor.
ence to a pointApproximately 20 miles
southwest of Florence.
Artifacts uncovered in the district
indicate that it was inhabited by a
peaceful, Industrious and agricultural
group.

That visitors to Douglas want to

Mexican authorities of the Identified

Chamber Of Commerce and Mines
cards for transients are issued and
throughout the day the two women
who work there are busy continuous
ly at the work of making out these
cards.
The applicants for the cards are,
for the most part, travelling men, but
regular tourists and visitors from
adjacent cities are also among the
eager waiting line. Some men enter
offices in a rather backward man.
ner and blurt out that they want one
of the cards. Many of them explain
that they have business in Aqua
Prieta that cannot be put off.
Many of the men offer to pay for
the cards and one declared stoutly
that it would be worth SO to him.
These cards are only good for one
crossing.

ONLY A. DAD

Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well ne has played the
game;
But glad in his heart when his own
rejoice
To see him come home and hear his
voice.
Only a dad of brood of four.
One of ten million men or more,
Flooding alon gin the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorns of life,
But never a whimper OF pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home
await.
Only dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving, from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way;
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of
them.
Only dad, but he gives lbs all
To smooth the way of his children
small;
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his fatehr did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen;
Only a dad, but the best of men.
