A BUILDER GONE

Frank T. Gilbert was a builder
Leaving a profitable business in
Tulsa. Oklahoma, he came to Ari-
zona for his health. Not satisfied
as many in his condition are, to
merely idle time away, he COM
menced to build out on the desert
west of Phoenix His building
there resulted in developing one of
the finest ranches and homes n
that section.
Having completed his task there,
he again came to the desert and
purchased tract of undeveloped
land east of Casa Grande. Again
the building spirit manifested itself
in Frank and he built one of the
show places in this valley, known
as Evergreen Gardens, which is the
present home of his family left be-
hind.
One would think he would have
felt satisfied with what he had al
ready accomplished, but not so with
the true builder, and he again took
up the task of placing on the mar
ket one OF the finest SUBDIVISIONS
N this section, a task which many
of his friends thought would not
prove successful, but mis- judgment
was good and that subdivision is
dotted today with some of the finest
homes in Casa Grande W. could
name other projects in and around
our little city which have been
successfully carried To compl .tion
by his guidance
What we need as we'll as every
section, is men who are builders
and who have the courage to carry
out the vision. Casa Grande has
suffered loss in the passing of
this man, who has gone 10 be with
the Great Master Builder.-Casa

est buria1s we have found. They are
associated with the more primitive
types of houses observed by us but
among them in the same plots are
the typical urn burials of the area.
Hereabouts all of the urn burials
are in red-on-buff and in feature
less bowls and jars. l am told that
to the north such burials have been
found in black-onw white jars.
other Prominent Visitors
The past few days have been
very full ones | was leaving the
compound one day and to my
great joy saw Professor Kroeber
the famous anthropologist of the
University of California, walking up
ley Here was luck indeed, to be
able to show the diggings to one OF
the greatest authorities on Man, as
a natural phenomenon in the whole
world. | had met him at Harvard
over % years ago; he was younger
then and had his fame to make
years and experience have enlarged
him and mellowed him into a sci
enlist of renown and a delightful
companion
So we walked about the com
pound, discussing walls and floors
ffr.a YNifc
of architecture. kinds of pottery
burial types, and all of the fascin
ating things which were all about
us.
Then we went to our other site
which brimfuul of interest and
saw it with enthusiasm and his
comments were calculating and i'll
spring. We told him when he left
that his visit was worth $1,200,00C
to us, and he declared the day one
of the richest in his life.
And then came Dean Cummings
professor of anthropology, Univer
sity of Arizona, director of the state
museum at Tucson, eminent arche
ologgist and beloved educator DR.
Cummings visited our diggings on
both sites. We learned great deaI
from him and in return showed him
things he had never seen before. He
charged us with having unearthed
too many problems. He was right
for already we have more problems
to solve than we can hope to solve
in months.
To fill the cup almost to over
flowing, Odd S. Halseth, Arizona
archeologist of note, appeared or
the scene and gave us the benefit
of his experience and judgment
Had DR. Cotton, of Flagstaff, beer
with us the picture would have
been complete.
