CITIZENSHIP FOR INDIANS
 IS ADVOCATED BY HAYDEN

Representative Carl Hayden, of Ari- zona, has introduced in the lower house of Congress bill to confer cit izenship on such Indians as are quali- fled for citizenship at the discretion of the secretary of the interior. This action, undertaken by an Arizona con gressman, contrasts sharply with the view generally held in Arizona not so many years ago that it would be inn possible ever to put the impress of civilization on Arizona Indians.
 Hayden's bill would find it's first application as to Arizona among the Pima and Maricopa Indians, agricul- tural tribes with reservations not far from Phoenix. But some 25 years ago Phoenix had to pass a city ordinance requiring Indians of those tribes to don trousers when entering the city limits. Heretofore the Indians had worn only the breech clout. It was a long time afterward before the wear ing of trousers was supplemented by the donning of shirt. Their homes were mud and willow "hogans." Their agriculture was of the most primitive kind and for food they depended more on rabbits and mesquite beans than on wheat.
 As lately as 15 years ago, although the Indian school had been turning out graduates for some years, public sentiment was pretty general that ln- dians were bound to revert to type; that tribal pressure was bound to undo the work of civilization. But the old men and women died and the middle aged adopted some of the white mems dress, customs and working methods, and the youngsters took them up even more readily and thoroughly. |.
 The reservation farms are now squared and leveled, we'll irrigated and highly productive. The Indians dress like white farmers. They have good wagons, harness and farm implements and have improved the grade of their live stock. They have farm houses with carpeted floors and good furni- ture and their wives have sewing ma chimes and washing machines. Sani- tation has improved and the death rate has lowered. Instead of hiding their children from the government Indian school agents, as the old folks used to do, these Indian fathers and mothers now take their children to school and are glad to have them there.
 The ways of civilization have pre- vailed with these tribes and citizen ship may be the next step. It will come less quickly to the mountain 1n- dians, the Apaches and Navajos, and to the Papagos, who dwell in the far desert places.

TO SELECT STATES
 CRACK RIFLE TEAM

Col. George J. Roskruge, dean of Arizona rifle shots, and the possessor of more medals than will fill case, as attests to his sharpshooting prow- ess, has been appointed by Governor Campbell to select the State of Ari- zona Civilian Rifle Team for the na- tional matches to be held on the navy rifle range at Caldwell, N. J., com mencing August "A, and which will be preceded by the matches of the Ma tional Rifle Association of America.
 Writing to Col. Roskruge of the ap- pointment, Governor Campbell said:
 "This is a matter that 1 am dele gating to you believing that you are in better position to ma ke these ap- pointments than either myself or any one else in the state."
 The governors of the states and ter ritories, the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia and the commanding officers of reserve off cers' training camps are each author ized to designate a civilian or school team of IT members to receive trans ,portation and subsistence to attend the small-arms firing school at the navy rifle range, Caldwell, N. J., from August to August 30, 1919, inclusive, to engage in practice and to participate in the national matches.

LOST, ONE BRONZE TABLET

A big hunt is being made for the bronze tablet on which was inscribed the names of former Governor Hunt, the secretary of state, and the state commission of institutions, which tab let had been prepared in advance to be placed on the new wing of the Capitol building at Phoenix when it was completed. For some reason this tablet, costing $500, was the first step toward the new wing, and it was laid carefully away awaiting the genera tion in which the wing would be fin ished, and then with ceremony placel in position. The old commission be- lieved in preparedness in buying the bronze tablet first and the only won- der is that they did not have the in- terior of the wing painted before building it, so that it would be fin ished sooner.

VICIOUS MEXICAN BOY

A little boy by the name of Gould was shot and killed at Bowie Satur- day by MeMcan boy. It appears that the two boys had been playing marbles and that they had a misun- derstanding. Older boys appeared on the scene and settled the controversy by deciding in favor of the Gould boy. The Mexican boy became enraged at the decision and threatened to kill young Gould at the first opportunity. He lay in wait for the Gould boy that afternoon and shot and killed him. The Mexican boy was IA years old, while the Gould boy was aged 9.

BOY SCOUTS ARE
 RIGHT ON THE JOB

At the regular meeting of the Boy Scouts of Snowflake, held last even- ing in Social hall, the Scouts unani- mously agreed to assist the Apache railway in locating the individuals who have been trying, thoughtlessly, no doubt, to wreck the trains between Snowflake and Taylor. Some one has been making a practice lately of plae- ing spikes in the joints of the rails, thus erdangering the lives of those who ride over the track. The wide awake boys of Snowflake are going to see that this serious matter is correct. ed right off. Watch the Boy Scouts! They have a good time, and are going to do things.-Snowflake Herald.

IDEA ENDORSED BY SIX
TEEN COUNTY BREED
ERS SOCIETIES

That the idea OF driving scrub
bulls from Oklahoma by legislative
action is meeting with appreciable
popular accord, is evidenced by
sixteen county breeders associa-
tions, in different sections OF the
state, having endorsed the move
during the past ten days.
The merit OF the proposition is
in the great benefit to be derived
from the enactment OF law which
will ultimately increase the wealth
OF practically every resident OF
Oklahoma, !. Robert Gillian OF
Ardmore, champion OF the cause,
is quoted as having said. The eX-
planation offered is, that, if en-
acted, the proposed law will have
eliminated scrub bulls from the
state within three, four, or posi-
bly,, five years and that the use OF
registered sires during the same
period will have improved the quail
ity and increased the production of
cattle to valuation of from 40 to
90 per cent greater than it is at the
present time.

while the farmers who raise cat
