are already considering Brownsville

INDIAN IS NOT
 DEcADENT, SAYS EXPERT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-Despite popular belief that the civilization forced upon him by the white man means his ultimate extinction, the North American Indian, reviving from long period of decadence, has shown such substantial increase in population in recent years that he probably is scarcely less numerous today than when Columbus discov- cred America.
 Startling as this assertion may be to those who have pictured Ameri- can forests in the discoverers' time as swarming with the red men, it is freely advanced by experts of the governments Indian bureau, who maintain that the Indian necessarily formed all exceedingly scant popula- ton which probably at no period ma terially exceeded the total of 333,7O2 Indians reported by the bureau for last year.
 The Indian no longer is to be llOuBlt Ol do d U Lll6 ldNNI N\NioA SN pr. Lawrence w. White, an Indian authority of the bureau. In support of that statement it is necessary, i'll the first place, to disabuse the public mind of the trandition handed down by discoverers and early colonists that American forests in their day swarmed with the dusky figure of the red man. As the Indian neglected agriculture almost completely, it IS highly improbable that this country considering its latitude, could have supported more than several hundred thousand of his race"
 On the other hand, Dr. White con tinucd, the Indian in the present day, after periods of sharp decrease fol- lowing as d natural reaction to sud den contact with the civilization of the white man, is seen to be making

WOOL INDUSTRY WILL BE HUGE
 THIS SEASON
(From Tuesdays Dally.D

C. E. Burton, in the city Sunday from Congress Junction, stated that shearing of sheep has statred, the date being far ahead of previous years. This is due to the wonderful winter weather and the fine condition of the animals.
 It is estimated in that field there are fully l50000 head and the wool clip should reach approximately half a million pounds, valued in the neigh borhood of S400,000.
 Mir. Burton also stated that in his division not a single head has been lost from lack of feed or severe weather, which is in direct contrast to conditions of past years, and par ticularly during the winter of 1917, when thousands perished from star vation and cold.
 Conditions in other fields below on the desert were described as unusu- ally gratifying, and with the market price of 72 cents a pound for wool the industry should be in thrifty condi- ton.

CAMP GROUNDS TO
 BE KEPT BY C. OF C.
(From Sundays Daily)

That a desirable free camping ground situated somewhere near Prescott, one which will equal those in California or in other sections of Arizona and not haphazard sort of an affair, is needed, was the gist of a report 1iven to the chamber of com merce by Chairman Frank Foster of the camp grounds committee.
 Foster stated that together with Floyd Williams, member of the com mittee, he had visited every available camping site known to them or which had been called to their attention. There is one location which seems to be ideal and as soon as approval can be had for the use of the grounds, the committee intends to go ahead and make this one of the most at tractive camping grounds this side of the Pacific ocean.
 Its location IS ideal. Restrictions consistent with camping privileges will be made and will include strict rules as to camp fires, fine for cut ting trees or shrubs, water, etc. A caretaker will be put in charge of the grounds and as near as possible it will be operated on the same plan as the camping grounds at Grand Cam yon. A permit will be obtained from the secretary and the camper must sign his name, address and car num- Der. If any damage is done to the grounds, or abuse of the regulations as to fire, garbage, water, etc, the camper will be fined accordingly.
 It is known that if such a camping ground is had and advertised that hundreds of desirable summer camp CTS will come to Prescott, making this their headquarters while visiting points of interest, including the Verde valley, Montezuma Castle, Montezuma Well, Soda Springs, Pages Springs, Jerome, Clarkdale, Cathedral Cave, Granite Dells and other nearby points.

MOTOR TROUBLE AT LYNX CREEK
 CROSSING
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 Many complaints were heard again yesterday by outgoing and incoming motorists who traverse the crossing of Lynx creek over that stream being swollen and difficult to negotiate Two cars were caught in the, deep water and washed away, one being badly damaged. Five on both sides of the creek were compelled to wait until the man with mule team could pull them over, which required over two hours of careful work.
 This highway is more frequently travelled than any other into or out of this city, and incidentally at that one point 1t is the mst neglected; al- though the most important, tapping Verde valley, Jerome, Dewey, Hum boldt, Mayer and the big mining helsd adjacaent to those places.
 Said one large taxpayer in Prescott yesterday from that region: During my 20 years of a residence in Yav- apai 1 have been a taxpayer for l2 years, and I have no knowledge of ever having witnessed the expendit- are of even a red cent across Lynx creek at the wagon road crossing, al though there have been expenditures made on both sides to care for dry arroyos that will run into the thou sands. It is neglect that is oc- casioning general and deserved con demnation."
 "An arrival from Walker yesterday stated: There are no roads from the Four Mile house to Walker. Traffic has ended again and at time when mining men most needed a highway to take in machinery and bring out ore"
 Official Party Stuck"
 Among those suffering from the exigencies of high water was an of ficial party consisting of Sheriff Da- wis, County Attorney Neil Clark, J. C. Furst and L. D. Crossman and F. L. Haworth, who left the county car in the creek Sunday night.
 The entire party waded to the city and got Ernest Crutchheld to go out and rescue the machine, which re- 1uired all the rest of the night to ex- tricate. Crutch swears that he will either move his garage to the banks of Lynx creek or build bridge there at his own expense.

 Nicholas Ricciardi, district voca- tional officer, offered to appoint such a representative on the occasion of his visit to this city last fall, at which time he conferred with Governor Thomas E.

Those interested locally were to appoint a committe and recommend a capable person to recive the appointment, but to date the 12th vocational district has re- ceived no word of action designed to secure a local agent of the board to further the work in the Mile High City.

NEED VOCATION OFFICER FOR
 PRESCOTT
(From Tuesdays DaiIyJ

According to the annual report of the l2th district of the Federal Board for Vocational Education for 1919, in the states of California, Nevada and Arizona there has been a total regis tration of 7052 disabled soldiers for training at government camps, so that in spite of wounds or other phys ical handicaps the veterans would be g able to be fully self supporting after completing their courses.
 Of this number 299S applications have been definitely settled, or 43 per cent; l752 rated as major handicaps, and training 10 be provided, or 25 per cent; and 2502 cases rated as minor or neglible handicaps. with the possi- bility of review granting major disability and having the privilege ot being placed in some gainful employ ment, or if he has been awarded com pensatior the vocational board will pay for the training, but not for the maintenance of the applicant This class of cases constitutes g per cent of the total.
 Bruce L. Grove, special agent of the Los Angeles branch of the 18th vocational district, was in the city during January completing the deter minations of the cases of disabled sol diers at Fort Whipple before the close Of the post as a military hos pital, and the consequent transfer or discharge of the men.
 The report shows that while up to January 1, 1920, five and one-half bil- lion dollars have been appropriated for pensions, only S23,000,000 has been appropriated for vocational re- mobilization for the entire United States. The expense of placing a man in training is but $83.20, this sum pro- viding for the doctors examination, records, advisors, employers and la bor representatives in casess where conflicting interests have to be de- termined, and the following up with letters and administrative expense until the man makes good on the job.
 Nicholas Ricciardi is head of the l2th district, with headquarters in San Francisco, L. D. Darrow of the University of Arizona being in charge of the veterans who are receiving training at that institution. Both Globe and Bisbee are represented on the vocational staff, J. E.

 "While many estimates or guesses of the Indian population were made during the past century" said Dr. White, ranging from less than 100, 900 to 100000 the first reliable cen sus was made by the Indian bureau in 1870, when the population was placed at 313712.

 Mir. Pass IS with the geodetic sur- vcy corps. and it was while stationed in this field met his bride to be. He flashed the signal of love to her from the rugged peaks of Granite noun tain, and ahe answer will be given at the altar.
