WHAT MISS HALL SAW

Territorial Historians Tour Through
Little Known Region,

Little known Region.
After an extended and highly inter
csting tour through northeastern Arl-
IONA, Miss sharlot M. Hall. territorial
historian. returned to Phoenix early in
the week. Miss Hall declares that the
outing, which was not taken for pleas
urc. was the most enjoyable she ever
experienced Much of the time she
Travelled over country considered too
rough lind uncomfortable for any
woman. but she was amply repaid for
the hardships she underwent. for she
saw n great deal of wonderfully beau
tiful scenery, met scores Of interest
ing people and was fortunate enough to
obtain n vast amount of historical data.
During the course of her travels Miss
Hall happened to see two Moqui snake
dances ard also the Moqui dance of
the flute The latter Is little known.
So far as Miss Hall was able to learn,
no white person had ever before seen
it excepting a few who live right in
that section. 1t is n religious ceremony
and as different from the snake dance
ms 1t could possibly be. Young girls
take part as well as the men. and all
are dressed In most beautiful costumes.
The dance Is as intricate and benuti-
full as the most carefully planned fancy
dance.
Another interesting affair which Miss
Hall had the opportunity OF observing
was II Navajo chicken pulling. AT
least 1000 people took part in the sport.
which was Impressive If barbnric. All
members of the tribe who We're present
were declted out in their richest finery.
The women, as q rule wore velvet
dresses and the men wore velvet shirts.
When the chicken pullcrs, mounted up
on their fat ponies, swept down the
open course the scene was indeed one
OF picturesque grandeur.
Miss Hall visited for a time with
Lorenzo Elubbell who maintains Q
trading post at Canada. Mr. Hnbbcll
did every thing in his power to enter
tain the historian and obtain data for
her. In fact everyone whom she met
on the trip seemed to be deeply inter-
ested In the work she was doing and to

lived in the Wisconsin city.
Dewey Is now sleeping behind the
stove in the meat market in La Crosse,

1t is manifest to most shippers

inspectors would grade it.
AS g. matter of fact, at the Head Of
the Lakes a shipper may have both

is a strong rivalry between the mark

New Ship Subsidy Bill - Bill In
troduced Monday.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Representa-
tive Humphrey of Washington today
introduced in the mouse bill pro-
viding for ship subsidy by the Unit
ed States government, which meas
ure is understood to have the ap.
prevail of President Taft and the ad-
ministration and to be the one upon
which the proponents of subsidy bill
will concentrate their efforts to pro-
cure it's enactment into law.
The Humphrey bill provides an in
crease in pay to American ships for
carrying the mails to South America
China, Japan, the Philippines and
Australia, bringing it up to 81 per
mile for an outward voyage of four
thousand miles or more. An in
creased tonnage tax on the trans
oceanic trade is provided and it is
proposed to admit foreign built ships
to American register for the foreign
trade.
The author of the bill in an ex-
PLANTATION of its provisions said the
proposition to increase the pay for
carrying the mails was the most i'm
portant feature of the measure. The
postmaster is authorized to pay Sec
ond class ships for carrying the
mails the same rate of 81 per mile
that is now paid to first class ships.
Mr.. Humphrey points out that OPP
ponents of ship subsidy seem not to
be aware that we already have this
subsidy for firstclass ships under a
law enacted in 1891 which law, he
claims, SIS responsible for every
American vessel on the Atlantic
ocean and if repealed would cause
the American flag to disappear from
the seas within 60 days."
The law of 1891, says Mr. Hum
phrey, defines a first class ship as
one of over 5000 tons and Of 20
Knots speed winch mas Deen Sucn
high requirement that vessels Of that
class have not found it profitable to
engage in South American and Paci-
fic ocean trade. Mr.. Humphrey pro-
poses in his bill to give the same
subsidy to vessels of five thousand
tons capacity and of 16 knots speed.
The bill lays down many require
ments for vessels before they can Sc
cure the subsidy.
The ships must be built according
to plans approved by the secretary of

view to their use in time of war, and
