although the range is needing more

Some deterioration of range is re-

nearly all sections. These have some-
what delayed picking. Damage to
cotton by the recent heavy rains in
Yuma was much less than at first
feared as little was beaten into the
dirt. Some damage to the early
planted lettuce crop in that section
is feared owing to the formation of

which it may well be proud. Wher

army posts and military reserva-
tions, Arizona's sons are to be found
from border to border and from
ocean to ocean; in the jungles of
Panama, where the soldiers in khaki
labored SO energetically to make the
great canal a possibility; in the ice
bound reaches of Alaska; under the
tropical skies of Hawaii; and in the
once fever-stricken Philippines. Even

and the China relief expedition. He
is now stationed at the headquarters
of the third corps area in Baltimore.
Colonel James III. Bradford, the
next in rank, also is graduate OF
the military academy. He was APP
pointed a second lieutenant of infan-
try in 1898 and promoted to first
lieutenant the following year. He
was ordered to the Philippines in
1911 as a captain of the 18th infan-
try, but returned seven months later.
After a brief period of service at F't.
Meade, S. d., he took part in the
Vera Cruz expedition, and then re-
mained on duty with his regiment in
the southwest until September, 1917.
For time he was inspector OF the
78th division. He was appointed a
temporary lieutenant colonel and
sent to France in April, 1918, and
was present in the reduction of the
St. Mihiel salient and in the Meuse-
Argonne operations. From February
in 1919 until March, 1919, he was in
spector of base section at Padora,
Italy. He is now on duty at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas.
Another prominent Arizona officer
is Major William c. Christy, who
graduated from West Point in the
class of 1907. His first service was
with the fifth cavalry at western
posts. In 1910 he went to Hawaii,
returning the next year to attend
the school of musketry at the pre-
sidio of Monterey, Calf. After
second tour of service in Hawaii and
a period of duty on the Rio Grande,
he was transferred to the 7th caval-
ry and sent to the Philippines. Still
later he was assigned to the 9Th cav,
airy. He was ordered overseas in
August, 1918, and transferred to the
Motor transport corps, serving with
the sixth division, the eighth army
corps, and with the fourth army
corps in Germany. Promoted to lieu
tenant colonel of cavalry in April,
1919, he served as such until Decem-
Der 10, when he was appointed as
American forces in Germany. He
returned to the United States in
January, 1920, and with the reor-
ganization of the army in July he
vacated his commission of lieutenant
colonel and was appointed major.
Major Christy is a graduate of the
advanced course of the cavalry
school and an honor graduate of the
command and general staff school.
He is now stationed at Fort Riley,
Kansas, with the ninth cavalry.
Captain Elroy S. j. Irvine, of the
corps of engineers, entered West
Point in 1912 and was appointed
second lieutenant less than month
after graduation. May, 1917 found
him captain. A year later he was
appointed major, and served until
November, 1922, when he was dis
charged and re-appointed in the
grade of captain. Captain Irvine is
graduate of two army engineer
schools, and holds the degrees of
Bachelor of Science and Civil Engi-
neer from The Massachusetts insti-
tute of technology. At present he is
on duty in Washington as junior
aide to the President, and as advisor
to the federal power commission.

RESERVATION INDIANS
NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE

An Indian living on reservation,
although a citizen of the United
States, is not entitled to register and
vote at a state election, unless he has
established an Arizona residence out
side reservation, according to Coun-
ty Recorder w. H. Linville of Mari
copa county.
Probably the most interesting and
certainly the most intriguing riddle
which the recorders office has been
called upon to solve since registra-
ton began, arose Friday and was
based on the ruling laid down above.
The situation came up when two
Indians, Robert Burk and Osif Clark
came to the recorders office to reg
ister for the general election. Re-
corder Linville allowed Clark to reg
ister, but turned Burk down.
Both men are Pima Indians. Burk,
whose mailing address is Scottsdale,
is a resident of the Salt River reser-
walton and makes living by farm
ing on land which is a part of the
reservation and yet is Burk's per-
sonal property.
The Coconino sun., 1926-09-24

Arizona, land of sun-kissed peaks
and deserts. has been a battle-ground
since the first white man entered its
borders. It has borne the terrors of
the Spanish Inquisition and witness
ed bitter feuds between cattleman
and sheepman; Federalist and Con-
federate once strove nightly for SUI
premacy over it's broad ranges, while
. fierce, determined clashes between
red man and white have been count
less.
Fostered by service with Roose-
velt's Rough Riders in Cuba and with
the American expeditionary forces
on the shell-torn fields of France,
the traditional fighting spirit of
Arizona's sons is still alive. Today,
in every branch of the peace-tine
army, doing their full share in rem
dering the nation safe from attack
or invasion, worthy successors to the
prominent soldiers Arizona has pro-
duced are to be found.
There are so many in the ranks
of the army that their number would
be difficult to determine, but in the
commissioned grades there are 45.
These include two colonels, four ma
jors, "a captains, II first lieutenants
and four second lieutenants.
Fifteen of the officers represent
ing Arizona have risen from the
ranks. Once they served as "buck
privates" or in the various non-com-
missioned grades. By diligent atten-
ton to their duties and by hard
study, they qualified themselves for
commissions and succeeded in win
ming them in the examinations held
at every army post each year.
Eleven other Arizona men are
graduates of that world-famous in
stitute at West Point, the United
States military academy. Most of
these were appointed as cadets di-
rect from the army. The remainder
of the forty-five were commissioned
from the state at large, the national
guard, or the organized reserves.
The senior officer of the Arizona
contingent is Colonel George Med.
Weeks, the son of that well-known
brigadier general, George H. Weeks
He entered the military academy IN
June, 1888, and graduated four years
later as an additional second lieuten-
ant of infantry. In the spring of
1901 he was made a captain and as
signed to the 9th infantry. Seven
years later found him in the Philip
pine islands with the 18th infantry,
where he remained until December,
1910. Assigned to the 10th infantry
in 1912, he saw service in the south
west as regimental adjutant until
1915, when he again went to the
Philippines. Recalled with the out
break of the World war, he was Civ
en- command of the 364th infantry
and sent to France with that regi-
ment in March, 1918. From Novem-
Der, 1918 to June, 1919, he was act
ing chief of staff and commander of
the base section at Marseilles. Col
onel Weeks is a graduate of the in
fantry-cavalry school, the army war
college and the general staff school,
and an honor graduate of the school
of the line. He is entitled to wear
service medals for the Cuban occu-
patton, the Philippine insurrection,
The Coconino sun., 1926-09-24

One of the Arizona officers who
rose from the ranks is Captain Theo-
dore M. Roemer, now stationed at
Fort Jay, one of the harbor posts of
New York City. Captain Roemer
served in practically every enlisted
grade in cavalry and hospital corps
organizations. Two of Arizonas
most famous posts have known him,
Fort Huachuca, where he was a
member of the fifth cavalry, and
Fort Apache, now abandoned. Soon
after the entrance of the United
States into the World war, he was
appointed second lieutenant of field
artillery, and later a captain in the
field artillery reserve corps. In Aug
ust, 1918, he was commissioned a
major in the adjutant generals de-
partment. With the rehabilitation
of the army in 1919 he vacated his
commission, but in July, 1920 ac-
cepted an appointment as captain
of cavalry.
Other officers who began their
military careers at the very bottom
of the grade and worked their way
up to commissions include: Captain
George L. Eberle, 34th infantry,
with station at Fort Eustis, Va;
Captain Chauncey McC. Lyons, with
the 9th infantry at Schofield Bar
racks, Hawaii; First Lieutenant
Charles Douglas, air corps, Fort
Bliss, Tex; First Lieutenant Joe A.
Hinton, the famous army athlete, on
duty with the fourth infantry at
Fort Missoula, Mont; First Lieuten-
ant Edward w. Raley, air corps,
France Field, Panama; and First
Lieutenant Garnett H. Wilson, or
ganized reserve instructor at Ann
