Phoenix, Aris, Jan. 20.—(UP)— An anclent Tace, so proficient at the art of irrigation that by some means 14,000,000 cuble yards of earth were moved as elaborate canals were con- strudted, 15 now being studied by Arisona archacologists. For want of a better mame, the students of ancient raees and ruins have dubbed these people of 500 to 1,000 year ago, the Canal Builders. In the Salt river valley, which con- tains the city of Phoepix, some 20 large ruins, and 300 smaller ones, traces of the historic race, have been foumd during the past 40 vears. Time and neglect obliterated some of them and the archaeologists are concen- trating on what remain. The Canal Bullders, according to Dr, O. A. Turpey of Phoenix, prob- ably lived under a serf-like agree- ment with an overlord who resided in the clan-castle after the manner of mediaeval Europe serfdom. The mass burled their ruling claes, along with gift pottery and other equipment, “to avold embarrass- ment in the spirit world,” Dr. Tur- ney belleves. They bullt long irrigation canals and laterals, and,” in consideration of the massive machinery modern man uses in similar enterprises their cngineering fcats are regarded as remarkable by Dr. Turney and other students. Traces picked up in explorations and exc: fons show the Canal Builders to have been a peace lov- ing, industrious folk. Four major ruina remain. One, La Cludad, 8 In Phoenix city. The Puyeblo Grande is owned by Phoenix and located on the outskirts of the city. Exploration here {s in Its in- fanicy. Pueblo de Lehi is near Mesa, 16 miles from here and Del Rio is four miles to the southwest of Ari- zona's capital. All told, according to information now gathered. the race frrigated ap- proximately 100,000 acres of the fertile Salt river valley, which later lapsed into a desert wasteland and was reclaimed—in part by the In- dians and almost completely by the 19th and 20th century white man. Impressions hundreds of years old remain on the walls of some of the ruins and on the floor surfaces—a petch of thumb prints, impressions of wicker work from a mat, and the like, A eharred corncob, dropped the students declare, before Columbux salled for the Indies, was found in perfect condition. Pottery frag- ments have been discovered still holding greass accumulated over long-forgotten fires. Traces of the people themselves has bean obliterated almost eom- plately, it is sald. Nothing will be Kkpown of them uness some unfore- sean discovery bearing on their persbnalities comes to light it. They dled, the archaeologists be- lieve, from some mysterious plague or a prolonged drought which their irrigation. and ingenuity were un- able to econquer.

O'Brien revealed in a new book “The Story of the Sun,” pub- lished today. 1 ‘The book tells of the romantic his- tory of the New York Sun from 1833 |to 1928, and the names of Dana, !James Gordon Bennett, Munsey and |other famous figures in journalism | parade through its pages. A chapter dealing with the period |@uring which the Sun was under the editorship of Charles A. Dana is per- {haps the high point of the book. | But, getting down to more mod- |ern times, it takes up the story of Munsey and reveals figures and facts on Munsey's many dealings in news- papers never before made public. Munsey is referred to by O'Brien as “the great amalgamator.” Munsey’s Dealings Perhaps the most startling of the |figures shows that in 1916 Munsey !bought the Sun and the Evening Sun from William B. Reick for $2,- 465,000. From that beginning Mun- |sey built the New York Sun, which he owned when he died, into one of the most valuable newspaper pro- perties in the country by a series of mergers which startled newspaper- men the country over. Prices figuring in ofher newspaper deals include: Bough Washington Times in 1301 for $200,000. Bought Boston Journal in 1302 for $500,000, Bought New York News in 1901 for $400,000.
