Phone 50. ptw Coolidge Chamber Hold Interesting Meeting Monday (Continued From Page One) <i mpete with Colorado and Cali fornia for the Northern Arizona business interests. Mr. John. J. Ph ilips, of Phoenix, Arizona, who accompanied Mr. Holm, alse ex-| pressed a few remarks in regard to the advisibilty of Coolidge getting b- hind this project. He stated that tl -re was no reason why Coolidge < culd not be on this proposed highway since the Casa Grande Ruin* was adjacent to it. He then read a poem, published by himself, called “The Casa Grande Ruins.”! This poem gave a complete history of the Casa Grande Ruins from it's supposed beginning to the present date. This poem was very ably composed and delivered by the .-•other, and was enjoyed vary much by the members of the chain- 1 her. The peome given is printed as follows: CASA GRANDE RUINS In searching thru old records, Harder every year to see, I found some so revealing That they fascinated me. So old. they border legend. Dimming fast with passing time, Put all dove tailed together Clear as bells when t u n e d to chime. Far back of all known history There are facts yett plain to see, Tl at tell of what then happened Just as plain as plain can be. When cave men left the mountains To build homes out on the plain They practiced irrigation As a substitute for rain. Ref ore the Master’s sermon On the shore of Galilee. Or David's Psalms wer© written, Gems of truth in harmony, T’ e fields round Casa Grande By the natives sowed to grain, Supported happy thousands Without aid of falling rain. They planned and executed With a skill as sure and tru© As men of modern methods With their instruments now do, The miles and miles of ditches And canals to contour true All made by slow hand labor. Prove our methods are not new. A perservering people, Free from hatred, strife and greed. Whom worked and carefully build- For the future and it’s need, Store houses and watch towers, Homes and cermtonkil halls. In clustered groups constructed With adobe brick or mud walls. Rut disaster o’ertook them When spring floods their ditches broke And raini failed .in the mountains. They, their Gods did then invoke. Then raiders made war on them, Slew their men and cattle took, Destroyed intakes and ditches, Burned and pillaged every nook. it was an inside traitor Caused the drawbridge not to faU, Who craved the spoils of combat. Cared not for his friends at all. Survivors left the ruins, For they had no heart to try To restore old conditions When to prosper meant to die. The records plainly show us They went South to Mexico In search of peace and quiet WTiere there was no then known foe; I THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE ' j ( \ f j I'y VW ; S 'f I THOSE: QUESTIONED \ t *. l^y > '^rrr ANr / /' , \wrPl 'J THOUGHT THAT TO \ VI 'HC»£ASE PGOSPEBTy ' ' ' r - ’ I TAXES SHOULD | i . { it. .Ar.fr i !
