DIFFER
ON "ARIZONA" ORIGIN

There has been much discussion as
to the origin Of the name Arizona.
Some contend that it is derived from
two Spanish words, "arida," meaning
arid, dry or barren, and "zona," mean
ing zone. In other words, "arid-
zone" But according to many peo-
pie learned in Spanish they insist the
word is not of Spanish origin. An
old Tuc..on resident, Samuel Hughes,
contended that Arizona is derived
from arisonac, meaning "place of
chastisement." A distinguished eth
nologist of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion translates Arizona from the Pa
pago tongue, as meaning "small
springs" A former member Of the
University of Arizona faculty finds
from the Papago-Pima dialect that
"ari" means small and that "sonac"
means over flowing springs. Arizona
is also said to come from "Arizuma," !"
from the Aztec, meaning silver coun-
try, Another authority says that the
name Arizona is derived from small
creek 85 miles southwest Of Tucson
which the Indians in early days call
ed Alehon. This, he said, ultimately
became Arizona.

MAN ATTEMPTED TO STEAL
WHOLE STATE OF ARIZONA

A scholarly man who, think, still
lives in Los Angeles, once attempted
to steal the whole state of Arizona.
He presented a grant from an old
Spanish king. Backing this claim
was an immense collection of docu-
ments-all faxed He had invented
whole family--a long line of an
cestry- with imaginary marriages,
deaths, titles of nobility. He fol-
lowed this faked-up family through
generation after generation for hun
dreds of years. The record seemed
absolutely complete.
But in the employ of the United
States was Young scholar who went
to Spain and began an investigation.
He found one error that toppled over
the entire conspiracy. He found one
document signed by king who hap
pened to have been dead at the time.
The perpetrator of the fraud spent
several years in prison. But for this
slight slip, the government would
have had to settle with him for al
most countless millions of dollars

ious ceremonies are marked with
beautiful and archaic melodies. Many
of their songs are prayers for rain,
since the Hopi tribe is agricultural
in pursuits, depending for food on
the production of arid southwestern
farms.
"In several of the songs by masked
dancers called katchinas we listen to
ancient melodies of great antiquity,
the very origin of which is so remote
that it has given them increased pow
er to make the rains fall and the
crops grow, according to the Hopi be-
lief" Fewkes said
''They often recount ancient his
tory of the clans and deeds of the
gods. who have befriended their an
clients. Many songs believed to be
born in the NEUROLOGICAL underworld
before man came to the surface are
on that account considered sacred and
are never sung save in a reverential
manner and prayerful attitude. They
may often be so old that the mean
ing of their words is unknown, and

FORM" Fewkes said.
"The songs of the war parties have
NOW been hushed but they are still
known to aged warriors. The cam
yons of the cliff dwellers NO longer
resound to their war cries, although
at times these war songs are chanted
in wierd rites of ancient peoples"
Fewkes said that the Hopi relig-

man being destitute of the musical
sense and q capacity for harmonious
expression, according to Fewkes. He
pointed out that music differs among
the various tribes and therefore oc-
cupies a prominent place in the sci
entific study of man and his work.
"The music of the American Indian
is worthy Of the highest appreciation
as an expression of Indian culture, ;"
Fewkes said before leaving for Ari-
Zona.
"No tribe of Indians sing great
er variety of songs than those of our
southwest and none preserves a more
archaic form than the Hopi of Ari-
zona. When we listen to their songs
we hear the music of the ancient cliff
dwellers transmitted from generation
to generation from a remote past to
the present time.
"The bureau of Americon ethnology
of Smithsonian has been engaged for
many years in rescuing from oblivion
the various survivals Of Indian life,
in the course of which it has record
ed much of the native music of abor-
| igines.
| 1t also lends its aid and sympathy
to every effort to preserve the sur
viving relics as we'll as the music of
the cliff dwellers."
According to Fewkes the Hopi sing
on every occasion where they exhibit
their natural characteristics or are
not hampered by outside influences.
The girls who grind their corn on
| primitive millstones, sing in rhythm
to the primitive music in so doing.
The boys have appropriate melodies
when they hunt the rabbits and other
game.

Old Hopi Indian Music To
Be Saued for Future Days
On Photographic Records

Washington-The wierd strains of
Hopi Indian music is to be preserved
for future generations by Smithson-
ian Institute.
Dr. j. Walter Fewkes, chief of the
institutions ethnology bureau, has
gone to Arizona, where live the. few
surviving members of the ancient
tribe of Hopi, to record the Indian
music on phonograph records.
Fewkes also is studying music
from the chronological standpoint
which may disclose valuable informa-
ton as to the relationship of the
The Coconino sun., 1926-08-27

Hopis to other peoples who have
come down to the modern era from
prehistoric days before the dawn of
history.
For five years between 1890 and
1895, Fewkes lived with the Hopis,
studying their language, customs and
beliefs. The Smithsonian scientist
holds the distinction of having been
the first white man to be initiated
into the famous snake dance of the
tribe.
Music is an attribute of all nature,

Reward Posted
For Bank Bandits

Pottsville, Dec. 19.-The Santa
Claus bandit and his confederate who
yesterday wished officers of the Citi1
zens bank a Merry Christmas and
then robbed the bank of $4,000, had
made good their escape tonight.
A reward of $1,000 for the arrest
and conviction of the pair was offer
ed by the Detective Department of
the Arkansas Bankers Association.
Although he believes he was on the
trail Of the bandits for several hours
after the robbery. Sheriff Walter
Turnbow Of Russellville said tonight
he was without a clue to the identity
of the men and had little hope Of
picking up their trail.
II believe the robbery was commit
ted by Russellville men and that pos
sibly they still are in Russellville," ="
the Sheriff said, "but l have little
information to work on at this time,
The two bandits, one of them wear
ing a Santa Claus mask and the other
a handkerchief tied over his face, en-
tered the bank about 10 a. m. yester-
day. The disguise of the bandit caus-
ed Roy Falls, cashier of the bank, to
think the matter a joke when the
man commanded him to "stick 'em
up" and hand over the cash.
At first Falls ignored the order, but
when the other bandit entered, he
complied. The cashier, his assistant,
Willie Peters, and several customers
were lined up against a wall while
the men took all cash in sight. They
then fled in an automobile which bore
!, a ssus--lIvifiie license.
The automobile was abandoned in
the edge of a mountainous country
in which the men are believed to have
escaped. Posses searched the hills foi
