sandy region without vegetation or inhabi-
tants,' is defective, and the idea that 1t is nee
essar1ly fiat Is erroneous. Most portions OF
the average desert bear an extensive, though
somewhat widely spaced, flora. Many desert
regions contain numerous settlements, the Sa-
hara desert for instance having a population
OF $500 600. Loose sand Is a minor feature,
and much more prevalent on the seacoasts and
along the bottom lands of rivers. There are
wide areas Of bare rocks, and the larger des-
erts include mountains, ridges, mesas and deep
canyons.
The deserts Of the southwest are regions
of very scanty rainfall, parts of them having
only three inches a year and evaporation of
eighty inches or more.
This canyon is the mile-dee2 gorge cut by
the Colorado river across the high plateau of
northern Arizona. The view from the rim
reveals the most stupendous panorama imag-
Unable, for one sees into an area Of about GOO
square miles filled with an endless variety of
most rugged topographic forms of many beau
tiful coicrs. On the skyline. ten to fifteen
miles away. is the edge Of a wlde.reaching pla-
teau, and in the middle ground of the picture
flows the Colorado river, nearly a mile below
ones feet.
The features are so gigantic and so plainly
in view that all sense of scale is lost, and it is
not until one has been down 10 the bottom of
the canyon at the river fevel that any adequate
sense of proportion can be gained.
The canyon was discovered by Cardenas,
who went to its edge in 1910 on a branch trip
from Coronado's expedition, on information OBJ
tanned by Tovar from the Hopi Indians. The
original name given to the river was Tison.
Spanish for frebrand, and it is to be regretted
that the name has not been retained to avoid
the present confusion due to the river having
the same name as the state.

there are enormous forests OF VaEuaoie unoei
and that the numbering Is an important lnouH-
try. In both territories there are seVeral larse
forest reservations, and one OF these III Az
IONA, the Coconino forest, with nearly o'ooo
square miles, is the largest single reserve III
the United States. The total forest area re-
served in Arizona is 15,25O,13O acres or more
than 1000 square miles, and in New Mexico
there are 10, s71, III acres, or more than $1,000
square miles. Southern California also mas
several large reserves.
The Coconino forest in Arizona occupies
part of the great plateau in which the Grand
Canyon Is cut, and extends to the brink of the
canyon.
The visitor 70 the southwest usually takes
keen interest in the Indians, who are numer-
Gus not only along the main lines of travel
but in many remote villages. Some tribes,
notably the Apaches, who continued To De
troublesome until a relatively recent date,
have become famous for the misdeeds that ma
terially retarded the development of Arizona
and western New Mexico. Now, however, all
is peace and tranquility. The newspapers, es-
pecially eastern ones. occasionally print &C
counts of uprisings, but these prove to be local
quarrels with a few individuals.
The Indians of the southwest are Of two
kinds, differing greatly in most of their char
acteristics. One is the nomad type, represent
ed by the Apaches, Navajos, the Yumas, Pa
pagoes and Pimas, and smaller tribes; the
other Is the pueblo type, which IS comprised
OF &c pueblos, or villages, scattered through
central and western New Mexico, and in the
