While they occur in great numbers on

yucca or Spanish bayonet. the occtilla,
palo verde, cholla cactus and dozens
of smaller varieties of desert plants
which make a carpet Of gay colors.
But, of course, the chief object Of in
terest on this old trail Is that wonder
full engineering feat, the Roosevelt
Dam, which was constructed in the
picturesque gorge of the Salt River,
where 1t joins the canyon Of Tonic
Creek. The water which is conserved
in this way waters the farms of the
Salt River Valley and so large is the
artificial body OF water made by this
dam that there Is enough to water the
valley for W. years If no rain falls.
Roosevelt Dam
This great body of water Is called
Roosevelt Lake and there are small
boats on 1t for short voyages around
its expanse with stops at interesting
places. Fishermen angle for black
bass and salmon and there is always
an attraction In the great stone dam
which holds back the water and on top
of which is a broad driveway over a
thousand feet in length. There are
tunnels, gates. spillways and the
hydro-electric plant to be visited, but
the browning beauty are the snow

spillways full sixty feet into the lower
canyon.

whereon the sun plays wonderful
pranks so that the whole cliff seems
with a sort of t~ranscendent
glory. Looking forward these tall
cliffs seem to melt into the blue of
the sky In such a way that each mile
of the journey seems to bring one
nearer the peaks whereas in reality
It Is but a trick of the rariied air.
These peaks are too far away to be
reached in many days. No less re-
markable are the shadows which are
cast in hollows and which are a part
of the magic changes wrought by sun
and shade. Over all broods the
mysterious silence of desert and
mountain. 1t Is a silence that caused
the Apaches to indulge in wild dances
to propitiate the God Of the Silence
whose home he supposed was in the
strangely carved rocks along the way
side. In particular the ~aboriginals
thought that strange and horrible de-
mons called to them from the Super
stitious Mountains. which travellers
admire today as one of the chief fea-
lures Of the Apache Trail trip.

the remarkable history of Arizona and
all this part of Oldest America. I'm
doubtedly in remote times 1t was peo-
pied by a race well advanced in civili-
cation who titled the soil, laid out ir-
rigation bitches, and built picturesque
clin-dwellings. Then came the record
ed history Of the the Spanish adven-
turer Cabeza de vaca's wanderings
across this section to Mexico City.
This was along in 1886 and later Fray
Marcos de Mia visited the region and
told Coronado of its gold and treasures
and Sc inspired him that he set out
with three hundred men who, some
historians say - penetrated as far
North as Nebraska In the Sixteenth
century military stations were estab-
hshed. missions were founded and be-
cause of war-like Indians, 1t was not
until 1874 that Arizona began to fill
up with white settlers.
Many stories are told of the en-
counters Of the Apaches of this region
with the peaceful Pimas and places
are pointed out where fierce battles
were fought. 1t Is said hat one of
these bloody backgrounds is now the
moor OF Roosevelt Lake. In this vi
cinity was enacted the horrible mas
sacre Of the Oatman family In 1891
and the captivity Of Olive Oatman,
who remained a captive for several
years. But this reputation for ferocity
cunning should not be imposed
on the entire tribe of Apaches for
among h several bands only one or
two were open to such criticism. At
any rate these Indians today are
peaceful and II one is fortunate

Augustus Thomas chose for the setting

where today near their old trail, many
OF the Apaches live peacefully in this
Indian Agency, which is situated on
a mesa Immediately below the juno
ton of the San Carlos with the ella
River. thirty miles southeast Of Globe
and twenty miles north of Bowie. That
these Apaches are willing to live at an
agency shows the great changes OF
the past few years. for In reality the
Apaches are a nomadic tribe or nom
pueblo people. with little or no viii
lsge life, dwelling in rude, temporary
structures during winter and In print
tive shelters during the summer. They
are wanderers of the desert who orig
inally came from the banks of the
Mackenzie River and the shores Of the
Great Lakes. Although they are
peaceful now. for hundreds Of years
they maintained a hostile and warlike
attitude and these Tonic Apaches held
their ancient trail by power Of might.
This trail was a war path along which
the Apaches galloped to their forays
and even today the cowboys run their
cattle on the hills nearby.

HE league of nations will not
be separated from the treaty
Il of peace.
The whole document will
be ratified by the Senate, but with
substantial reservations.
Such are the indicated probabili-
ties as President Wilson opens his
home campaign for the treaty and
the league.
Just what the reservations will be
is doubtful. But they will probably
ably not be far from the four put
forward by Senator Gore, whose de-
lection from the Democratic forces
gives the advocates of substantial
reservations clear majority to
work with. Senator Cores state
ment Is important because it repre-
sents the views of those who are
likely to hold the balance of power
in the coming fight. The Gore res
ervations and the general situation
are thus summed up in "The New
York Tines:
until Senator Gore made known his
attitude the league foes were not able
to count more than 4s votes as assured
for their side. This total, with the de-
tenders of the league claiming 48 votes,
would result in a tie.

be counted on to line up with the op-
position. All have privately expressed
themselves as favoring reservations
