Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1899-09-07

Yaqui is by nature moral and indus-
trious and no complaint can be made
against him on that account. All over
Sonora there are found Yaquis in time
of peace working in the fields and In
the mines and even as laborers on the
railroads. In the latter capacity they
are more valued and more trusted than
any Mexicans, and we know of in
stances where railroad agents have
preferred Yaqui section bosses to those
OF other nationalities.
Cont Want Land divided.
AS laborer the Yaqui Is hard-work-
Ing and faithful and can always be re-
lied on. He does not shirk his work
when his foreman turns his back and
he does not shorten his days work by
continued cigarette smoking. No won
der, therefore, that he Is highly valued
for the work he can and does perform.
AS do many other laborers, he gets
drunk when pay comes on Saturday
evening but he confines his carousing
to the rancheria in which he lives and
keeps his family and when Monday
morning comes around every man is at
his work. The Yaqui country from
Buena Vista to the gulf has always
been held as common property by the
Yaquis as tribe and has never been
portioned out to individuals as in other
communities. The reason for this Is
found In the nature of the territory it.
SELF The fertility of the Yaqui delta
depends entirely upon the overflow of
the Yaqui River. In times Of heavy
rains the delta and adjacent river bot
tom lands are covered by water or
made moist by sub-irrigation, while in
dry seasons the contrary Is the cause.
AS the territory Is large. each individ-
ual Yaqui can always find place suit
able for cultivation for that particular
season. Next season he may have to
find moisture and other conditions nee
essary. Now 1t Is evident, that IL the
land were not held In common and IL
every Yaqui had his own allotted piece

rent, 1t requires an extra attachment
as that current Is too weak. This IL
generally put in at the leg of the dining
table. Up to this time electricity has
been used almost exclusively by the
woman who makes fad of expert
mental cooking. and she has her cleo
trio kitchen fitted up like a small labor
atory, far from the domain of the fam.
lily cuisine.
The whole paraphernalia might fiji
into a tiled closet almost anywhere, so
hooded and ventilated that no odor
escapes into the surrounding rooms. In
one of the apartment houses In New
York dainty little electric kitchens have
been fitted up where the tenants have
asked for them, although the apart
ments were not designed for house
keeping originally.

dering and plundering. II the Indians
do not surrender war Of extermina-
ton will ensue. 1t Is pity, too, for
General Diaz had hopes the Indians
would remain friendly, and become CIV
ilized. Not long ago he sent thirty
school teachers into their country to
instruct them and to establish schools
and colleges. These may have been
murdered for all that Is known, for
some Of them went into the outlying
districts. So far as can learn, the In
dams are well armed. They have, in
fact, been buying weapons ever since
their leaders signed the treaty Of peace,
and do not believe they ever had any
idea Of keeping the truce. The murder
of their own chiefs who had accepted
Office under the Mexican government
indicates that they have grown desper-
ate and that the contest will be fierce"
The tactics of the Yaquis are to attack
suddenly and to ambush and imme-
diately after the assault to run back
follow them. After Yaqui has
fought for some time he suddenly be-
comes peaceful Indian and leaves the
territory in which the war RACES. This
happens when his ammunition Is all
spent; he must then provide himself
with more. This he does by working
in Arizona and New Mexico, as in
these places he can procure arms with
his savings and return when he has
enough. When he has accumulated
enough he returns by passing from
Arizona through the Sierra Madre will
derness, where he Is free from SOL
diers' bullets and from observing eyes,
and when least expected he turns up
fully equipped with munitions to
carry on the war. The Yaqui is not
the blood-thirsty beast that some re-
ports have made him out to be. He Is
brave, Industrious and peaceful; he
does not torture his prisoners, but
neither does he allow them to escape.
In 1897 peace was made with the va
quis. The government promised them
a certain sum Of money and they In
turn agreed to have their land survey
ed and partitioned. During the last
two years the Yaquis have quietly been
working in the mines Of Sonora and
Arizona and have saved their earnings
in order to procure arms to renew the
war. Whatever will be the outcome Of
the war. II will be a most ruinous one
for Sonora. If the Yaquis are exter-
minated, as the reports tell us is the in
tention Of General Torres, then the eff
feet will soon be felt. 1t will mean the
determination of the manual labor in
Sonora: 1t will mean the crippling Of
her wheat and mining industries. The
Mexican government could well have
afforded to allow the Yaquis TO remain
in possession Of their land, as their
value as laborers is many. many times
greater than the price that can be real
lied by selling their land. Sonora is n
country with immense resources, with
enormous tracts of fertile soil where
almost everything might be grown
profitably. Such crops as wheat, sugar
cane. beans, corn, oranges. dates,
peaches, apricots and many other fruits
are hardly surpassed anywhere

The daring explorer fell into an Ice
crevasse, seriously injuring one of his
legs. and two days later an icequake
killed many of the sledge dogs and de-
stroyed the bulk of the sledges. There
was no alternative but to retreat, and

Many precautions were taken to pre-
vent the identity of Miss Sigsbee and
Mr.. Kerr from becoming known. Dis
tortion of names was even resorted to.
The circumstances attending the mar
rage were most mysterious.

of the term of 1S97-'9S she returned to

intimate friends suspected that in ad-

come the wife of Mr.. Kerr. In October,
1898, she returned to New York to re-
sumo her studies. The following month
the marriage ceremony was performed.

have never yet been subdued. Already
In the instruction now on the Yaquis
have routed forces of Mexican soldiers
sent against them, and the government
is mobilizing large army to pit
against the willy warriors. The va
Quis' method Of lighting is one taught
them by nature and experience. When
beaten they retreat into the almost in
accessible Businesses of the Sierra Ma

dare not follow them, and there await
the departure of the troops, when they
again descend and clear out the people
who have established themselves on
their lands. Though the population Of
the Yaqui country does not exceed
$1,000. the male portion combine to
make formidable foe, and the Next
can government anticipates a war Of
six months or more.
Story of the Ysquis.
The Indians inhabit the valley Of
Sonora. They are good agriculturists
when allowed to till their farms In
peace, and their valley being rich and
fertile has tempted covetous men with
little regard for right to take advan-
tage of the peculiar features Of the
Mexican laws In regard to taking up
land and fling claims on the Yaqui
holdings. These. Of course, under
standing little Of law and moved by a
sense of injustice, have resisted the
seizure, and troops have been called
out to enforce the law-that is, put the
new claimant in possession of the
Yaqui land taken under the law. The
Yaquis have stood together and made
good fights after their fashion, and
when compelled to do so retired, only
to return when the troops were with
drawn to take forcible possession OF
their own again. In former insurrec.
tons they had but few firearms, but
when the Sonora railroad to Guaymas
was built they furnished a large pro-
portion Of the laborers, and with the
money earned Winchester rifles were
purchased, with which they have been
much more formidable antagonists
than before and are more conscious OF
their own strength.
IL the war is continued until the
Yaquis are pacified or exterminatet
dire disaster Is sure to befall that beau
tiful State. The determination Of the
Yaqui Indians simply means the de
struction Of the manual labor In So
nora. The Yaquis are not only the bes
and most trusted workers In Sonora
but they constitute the largest numbel
Of able workingmen In that State. The

and by confirmation of title by the
King of Spain long before the Mexican
government was thought of.
When Mexico revolted and establish
ed her independence the Yaquis refused
to recognize the new government and
proclaimed their own independence and
autonomy. Since then the effort to OBJ
tain from them recognition of the
authority and law Of Mexico has led
to frequent collisions between them
and the government troops; pitched
battles have been fought and though
generally beaten by superior forces
