trict when the Walkers settled here.
Many of these soon moved away,
and this leaves Mr.. and Mrs. Walker
about the Oldest pioneers of the
district. The old Tempe canal was
built in 1871 and water was turned
on the land through it the next
year, Mr.. Walker said. Captain
Sharp was the leading spirit to first
undertake construction of the canal.
Other Pioneers
Other settlers then holding home
steads under the old canal were
Thomas Morrow, Conrad Myer,
Charles Bolzau, Charles Roberts
and Robert Flagler. Many of the
white men living on the South Side
at that time were bachelors.
Mr.. Walker is a native of Illi-
nois. He married Mrs. Walker in
Arkansas, who was then Miss Mary
Holmsley. They have three chill
dren: Mrs. Alice Mullins of Tempe,
Mrs. Iva Hollenbeck, living in Colo
rado, and Lee Walker, living in

eve should not localize the mes
sage of salvation that Christ uni
versalized. When we have Chris
tianized our enemies they are enc
mics no longer" were two of the
outstanding statements made by the
Rev. T. M. Pyle to his congregation
last Sunday morning at the Baptist
church in course of sermon large
ly devoted to the Importance of do
ing missionary work abroad.
The text of the sermon was "Then
they said one to another, we do not
we'll, for this day is day of good
things and we hold our peace" 1t
was taken from the ninth verse of
the seventh chapter of II Kings.
Approximately 100000 of
the estimated 100000 inhabi-
tants of the world never have heard
of Christianity, the Rev. Pyle said.
1t is to carry the message of sal
walton through Christ to these peo-
pie that support of all kinds is be-
ing urged for the missionary work
abroad. The Rev. Pyle spoke of the
urgent need of tearing down the
existing barriers of caste and class.
Two paramount reasons for ad-
vancing Christianity given in the
sermon are: To protect our own
civilization, and that a Christian
civilization, no matter where exist
ing, is an asset to our own coun-
try. In support of the first reason
the Rev. Pyle said that other Ma
tions are adopting our modern meth
DDS of warfare and that we should
induce them to adopt Christianity so
peace may prevail between us.

GREENWAY FIELD
DAY VISITORS ARE
ASSURED COMFORT

A regular army encampment will
be established on the fair grounds
for the use Of out-of-town contest
ants who will compete in the annual
Greenway Field Day to be held here
April %, it was announced last
night. Through the courtesy of the
Arizona State Fair Commission one
large fair grounds building will be
devoted to the use of the boy con-
testants, while another structure
will be used to house the girls. The
buildings will be available to those
who arrive in Phoenix Friday night
for the meet. Members of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, sponsors of Greenway Field
Day, will remain with the girls,
while the Veterans of Foreign Wars
will supervise the boys building.
Arrangements are now being
made with a large catering concern
to provide wholesome meals at
reasonable cost. This means that
food will be available Friday night,
all day Saturday and Sunday morn
ing. This will cut down the. ex-
penses of all the contestants. The
committee, Mrs. ]. B. Grand, chair
man, in charge of the entire pro-
gram, urged all contestants to bring
their own bedding and, wherever
possible, to obtain voluntary auto
transportation to Phoenix. 1t is
also announced that every out-of-
town group should have not less
than two supervisors. The older
folks will be expected to remain
with the contestants during their
stay here.
There will be plenty of entertain
ment for both the young and old
folks during their weekend stay
here. On Friday, the day preced-
ing the big meet, the flower show of
the Masque of the Yellow Moon will
be presented at the fair grounds.
There will also be a band concert,
all of which will be free to the
public. On the same evening the
old folks can take in the Spanish
ball at the Shrine Auditorium. On
Saturday, the day of the big meet,
there will be plenty of action and,
in addition, the flower show, will
be open all day.
The big entertainment program
will wind up Saturday night, when
the high schools of the Valley will
present pageant, 1000 participants,
the Flower Fantasy of the Masque
of the Yellow Moon. This will be
held on the Phoenix High School
athletic field at o'clock.
The Daughters Of the American
Revolution are leaving nothing un-
done to provide comfort and enter
tainment for the out-of-town Wis
TORS and competitors here during
Greenway Field Day, it was stated.
Every safeguard is being employed,
even to having military forces pa
troll the fair grounds Friday and
Saturday nights.

HOMESTE ADS Of
PIONEERS HAVE
CHANGED HANDS
MIR. and Mrs. Thompson Walker
Only Couple Here That Still
Owns Land Homesteaded Under
Old Tempe Canal.

Search for persons and places of
historical interest in connection with
the settling and development of
Tempe and vicinity has revealed
that Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson
Walker, both 78, of McAlister ave-
nue., Tempe, own the oldest home
stead under the old Tempe canal
still in possession of the original
settlers.
Nuns Ellingsen and Mrs. Susana
Petersen, other old settlers here
still owning their original home
steads, live on land r1led on shortly
after the Walker entry was made,
Mr.. Walker said yesterday. The
homestead under the old canal still
owned by Mrs. Petersen was filed
on by her husband, Neils Petersen.
Most of the other old homesteads
under the Tempe canal are now
owned by heirs of the original set
tiers or have been sold.
Came Overland
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker came here
overland from Arkansas in 1876 in
wagon drawn by horses and mules.
The nearest railroad at that time
was at Pueblo, Colo, and the coun-
try was in a raw state. The Walk
ers settled on their present home
stead shortly after arriving here,
but it was not until 1885 that they
were allowed to file on it under
the homestead laws of the United
States, because until that time it
was set aside for use of the rail
road. When the railroad failed to
fulfill it's agreement with the Gov
ernment the land was thrown open
for homestead entry and original
settlers given preference.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary
two years ago and have been con-
tinuous residents of Arizona for SO
years. Mr.. Walker told of the man
ner in which C. T. Hayden, founder
of the Hayden mills and one of the
leading pioneers of this district,
happened to settle in Tempe.
River Stops Hayden
According to Mr. Walker, C. T.
Hayden was delayed here several
days by high water in the Salt river
when he arrived with the intention
of going farther north to look for
location. But, while delayed, he
saw the possibilities of water power
for a mill and further irrigation
purposes and cast his lot with the
men then just starting the ditch
that was later run here for water
power for the mill.
The ditch was at that time known
as the Kirkland and Mckinney ditch
after two men principally active in
constructing it, Mr.. Walker said.
Mr.. Hayden then cast his lot with
the people of Tempe, used his re-
sources to hasten completion of the
ditch and thus became a permanent
settler here.
Hayden's Ferry Then
Hayden's Ferry was the name ap-
piled to Tempe at that time and the
portion of Tempe now lying east
of the Catholic church was known
as San Pablo, Mr.. Walker said.
Only sixteen white men and five
white women lived on the south
| side Of the Salt river in this dis
