Paul re- fused to listen to the Indians, where upon they threw themselves upon him, forced him to the ground and disarmed him.
 The chief of the tribe then ex- plained to the sheriff that he would order the Iatters release provided he left the camp peaceably, but that un- der no condition would he allow the removal of the two braves. Paul em- phatically replied that he would not leave the camp without the prisoners, whereuTon he was told that he was a prisoner of the tribe and word to this effect was, sent by courier to the wblte settlers
 Tha =1sI.a hotheads around Tucson wanted to dash out that night, but saner minds prevailed. and the next day six or seven carriages carrying citizens armed to the teeth, set out for the Papago camp. Arrived there they found themselves confronted by hundreds of quiet, stolid Indians armed and ready for battle. A few or the white men wanted to charge the Indians, but the desert diplomat had better plan.
 Advancing under white flag, the white men met the chief and a few other Indians, and after a long barley the chief agreed to allow the whites to take the two Indians to Tucson for trial, but only upon condition, that word be given him that some of the more prominent of the white men in the delegation became responsible for their safety.
 The Indians were taken to Tucson. tried and acquitted. the white people cheering the verdict. The Indians were given tobacco, colored handker- chiefs and other gifts and were as sured that they and their tribe had the sympathy of Tucson in the con- troVersy over the water hole. The incident ended well, for it taught the Indians that the white mans law was supreme and it showed the whites that the only policy worth while with regard to the aborigines was one of justice.

WOMAN TELLS IF FIRST COLONY AT
 q. DAVID IN 1877

How St. David, Ariz.. was settled by religious colony in 1877 is de- scribed by Mrs Elsie L. Mattesen as follows:
 The pioneers of the San Pedros valley, Cochise county, were of a re- ligious denomination Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints commonly called "Mormons." These people were called from Utah by their president. Brigham Young. to come to Arizona and build up the country. They were called as missionaries an- der the bond of the United Order' which held the people together.
 After landing in the Salt River val ley. under the leadership of Don Jones, the company was divided and B, men, women and children, went to the San Pedro valley under the leadership of Philoman Merrill, who had been through the country before.
 The company landed in the old town of St. David in the fall of 1S77 Among these early settlers were: Rhoda s. Merrill. Esther Merrill, Jo- seph A. McRae, Maria McRAe, George Steel, Syrena Steel, Milton Trefo, Dell Merrill and Lucy Ann Merrill.
 These people began building homes and erected a fort for their protection against Indians. They constructed their houses of adobe and rock, with flat dirt roofs. Wagon covers were used for doors and windows. They were industrious, ambitious and law abiding citizens, filled with a desire to fulfill their mission. They brought seeds and some implements with | them Their first crop was threat ! ened by drouth, but rain fell July 4 and continued for almost six weeks
 Two years later they began irriga at ing from the San Pedro river. About this time they were released from their religious obligations to the val ley and went to the mountains where they procured timber for betterins l their homes. In the meantime many ! new families had arrived. Among the ! newcomers were J. N. Curtis, s. B | Curtis, William F. Curtis. Sarah D | Curtis, Marilla Curtis, Alice Curtis ! Susan L. Curtis, Lucinda Curtis. FL | len Curtis, Heber Reed, c. M. Layton 1 and William Goodman.
 ! These pioneers founded the towr of St. David. School was held in pri- Vate homes until the county built a 1 school house. Teachers who donat- | ed their services at this time were Maria McRae and Susan Curtis. The l early amusements included dancing l spelling and home theatricals.
 J. N. Curtis surveyed a canal ir the upper part of the valley in 1881 using a spirit level as his only in strument. The canal is still in use and will be used as a part of the Charleston dam project.
 Into this historical sketch Mrs. { Matteson has injected a bit of bi- 1 ography relating to Rhoda $. Mer- Till, who at the age of S4 is still 6 1 resident of St. David:
 "Rhoda s. Merrill was born ir ! Brockletown. England, in 1887. anC came to this country with her parent:
 four years later. In 1S49 her parents went to Salt Lake City and the 1. year old girl walked more than 1.00'
 miles across the plains. Five year
 later she formed the Relief Society
 and has been an active worker il
 this organization ever since. She ha!
 lived in Arizona for the past i
 years"

ARIZONA PIONEERS CAN TELL WHAT REAL
 HARD TIMES ARE

Present day "calamity and hard time howlers" should have pioneered in Arizona back in the early S0's; they would then appreciate modern conveniences and present day stand ards of living, George A. Tyler, a vet eran of many years. writes the Pio- neer editor. MT. Tyler was a New Years day arrival in Arizona, Janu ary 1, 1880, locating at a point on the Little Colorado river, 12 miles south of Holbrook. He writes interesting ly of his experiences during the early days as follows:
 There were some half a do0en families settled in the little valley they called Woodruff when I ar rived. With a limited supply of pro- visions we proceeded to make homes. That was two years before the ad- vent of the Santa Fe railroad, and the nearest point where we could se- curf provisions was Albuquerque, N. NJ, about 250 miles away.
 "The valley was practically sur rounded by Indians, some friendly, but a big majority of them unfriend- ly. A few cattle and sheep men were in the community at the time. but there were very few farmers, though the hills and valley was green with beautiful grass.
 ''The people suffered many priva- tions and hardships. We were for tunate in those days to have few cows, for flour vas a very rare arti- cle We had to cut our barley with

TELLS IF RAIDS OF GERONIMO AND HIS
 MURDEROUS BAND

Life in Southern Arizona during the time of numerous Indian raids is graphically described by Joseph Bowyer, president of the Bowyer Gold and Copper company. with mines at Quartzsite. Mir. Bowyer, his wife and three children. Joseph. Roy and Eva, arrived in San Simon on Christmas day, 1880. He had travelled from Silver City, Idaho.
 Referring to some of the early day experiences. MT. Bowyer writes:
 San Simon was the end of the Southern Pacific railway track at that time We took a stage from there to Galeyville, 25 miles south. where we were met by Mir. S. M. Vessels and his wife.
 "Galeyville at that time was the headquarters for the toughest lot of rustlers that Arizona could boast of. flying in all directions, but it was all in fun-just one of the customary pastimes.
 MT Vessels and I organized a mining company called the Texas Consolidated Mining and Smeltins company, backed by capital from the east, and bought the old smeltins plant formerly erected at Ajo. moved it to Galeyville, and ran it success fully until the bands of Indians un- der Chief Natchez and Geronimo made it too hot for comfort.
 During the first raid by Natche2 and band MT. Vessels and Mir. G. NJ Shotwell and myself. in riding over a mountain pass. encountered some Indian scouts. We hurried back and gave the alarm to the people oi Galeyville. Cord wood was brough, to the only adobe house in the town and Qualifications formed with it. We

 Schools were of the crudest na- ture imaginable. A teacher was em- ployed by the community and old school books, brought from other sec tions. were used in teaching the pu- pills.
 "A ban was fixed on the wearing of shoes. except during the winter months and when snow was on the ground. Other clothes worn by the settlers were patched and repatched to make them last from season to season.
 "The first houses were built of rock in a fort-like manner. A large building shaped like an L, with port holes for defense, with dirt roof and dirt floor. and partitioned off for families, served well on many oc- casions against attack from Indians," he concluded.

Fifteen years ago dairying a. an in

South probably has made more prog

other section of the country. The in
crease in the number of dairy cows
from 1907 to 1920 was more than 80
per cent. The increase for the en-
tire United States during the same
period was 1S.S per cent"
While the increase in number of
cows has been large, it is pointed out
by men working comparatively with
the federal government and the state
agricultural college hat the improve
ment in quality has been Of even great
er importance. Purebreds nave been
shipped in every year in large num-
bers, and great interest has been
shown in the use of purebred sires.
There are now AS bull associations in
these states. The latest census fig

Carolina and 1856 in Virginia.

recommended In sections of the South
not TO make d~airying a major indus-
try, but rather to establish a system
that would supply the home demand
for dairy products, and at the same
time build up and maintain soil fer
tility, both by supplying manure and
by enforcing a proper rotation OF
crops. This would make possible the
production of cotton and other staple
crops at greater profit. This was the
ain of the southern dairy extension
work, the first large scale extension
project attempted. which was started
under the direction OF the dairy d.
vision Of the Department OF Agricul-
ture In l006, and carried forward co
operatively by the department and
the state agricultural colleges.
One OF the first things corrected
was the poor feeding methods. Cot
tonseed meal and hulIs formed the
basis Of the ration; farmers had no
knowledge OF balanced ratlons; silos
were few in number, and 1t was not
known generally hat they could be
built by farm labor. A few silos were
erected In 1906 as demonstrations, and
the idea began to grow slowly In pop

10 the fact that during the past year
the Buick Motor Company did the
