BREAD BAD SPIRIT
Patagonia Indians Have Peculiar
 Religious" Belief.
Idea Growing AlWays Mere Powerful Has Caused the Tribe te Become
 Devil WorshlPSrs.

A traveller, signing hlmSeif "H. H. P.," who has been jOurneying ia PSta- gonia, at the extremity of South Amer lea. tells the following, peculiar story, observes the Montreal Family Heraid.
 It Is the hour before sunrise on the pampas. To all sides stretch the way ing steppes of coarse grass. In the center of the scene are five toldos, the skin dwellings of the nomadic Tehuel- che Indians of Patagonia, the tallest race on earth, pitched not far from the slOw-fOwing stream.
 As the light strengthens, and almost at the same moment, from each tent there Issues an Indian, bearing ID hls hand a newly lighted torch. He dasheS with screams and shouts to the back of his tent, waving the torch and mak- Ing as If he would drive somebody away.
 And the somebody" whom he is at- tempting to drive away Ia the Guall- chu. the spirit of evil
 Of course, the interesting thing is to consider how such a custom arose.
 The Tehuelche religion Is quite sim pie. There Is a good spirit and a bad spirit. The good spirit made all the meat and tat-bearing animals for the food of his people, but having made this effort he turned over in the great cave where he lives in the mountains and slept.
 But the Guallchu was of a different temperament-he stayed awake and he set all the evil animals to plague the Indians.
 Thus far we can trace no belief. Beyond that 1t Is more serious mat ter. More and more terrible grew the stories that were told of the Guall- ChuS power and more and more dld he gain aSCendancy over the lives of the more imaginative Indians, until at last they became devil worShipers, and their whole lives were made up of an attitude of terror toward this dreadful power.
 Every strange footprint which the Indians saw they put down to the Guulichu. When the glaciers halved in the mountains and flung their Ice upon the waters of the upland lakes the Indians said, Tt Is the Gunllchu who is grooming In the mountains"
 And so they became q race of devn worShIperS. IL Is probable that most devil worship has had 8 beginning of this kind. Here we have people cleanly and kindly, whose lmaglna- tions became warped by the cOntem- p!ation of the spirit of evil.
 The savage as a rule ls not in any way imaglnatlye-he needs something from the outside to make him sO-the darkness. great storms. the black for est cllnglng upon the mountains these things excite In him unusual thoughts. and as sure as they do that so surely does devil worship begin to creep in.
 Generally when devil worship be gins there are to be found individuals who claim the priesthood of the devil. CurIOusly enough. this has never been the case among the TehuelcheB- their attitude toward the GuRllchu is perfectly sound They drive hlu away If they can and they propItiste him if they can. but In neither performance du they call in the aid of the witch doctor.

version dam at Granite Reef. The
Granite Reef dam is one OF the larg-
est weir dams in existence. 1t Is 3S
feet from base to culvert and LOO
feet long.
The power possibilities OF the prof.
ect are great. A total of $1,000
horsepower is being generated by the
system. The power from the project
is used for lighting, traction and for
manufacturing purposes in and
around Phoenix and in the valley
and Is also sold to mines and to
factories in the vicinity. Two large
mining concerns take a total of TO-
600 horsepower for which they pay
100000 annually. Power is generat-
ed by the water, both on leaving the
Roosevelt dam and in its course down
the river and in the valley canals.
There are 216,000 acres now under
irrigation by the Salt River valley
project. Under other projects, which
include all methods Of irrigation.
there are 10000 acres additional.
Soil of the Richest
Son on the Salt River valley farms
is equal to any found in any of the
famous garden spots of the world,
including the valley Of the Nile, the
polders of Holland, or the Black
Lands of Russia. 1t is of four types,
gravelly loan, sandy loan, Maricopa
loan and Glendale loess. The gravelly
loan is the best citrus land and is
closer to the hills. The sandy loan
has a little grovel, less than 10 per
cent, and is rich and an easily work.
ed soil. The Maricopa loan is a
heavier quality OF the same soil. The
Glendale loess is similar to the Mis-
sissippi valley type OF soil and 40
per cent is silt and 25 per cent very
fine sand. 1t is a highly decomposed
material and analysis shows much
lime, potash and phosphoric acid. The
latter, a most valuable constituent,
exits here in the surprising propor-
ton of 22-100 per cent. The depth of
soil throughout the valley is gener-
ally very marked. Near Glendale the
silt or loess type OF soil is often 100
feet deep. Near Phoenix, borings show
deposits 500 feet deep without rock.
Further east, 1900 foot borings end
in clay.
The land Is almost perfectly level.
The slope is just right for easy irri-
cation. averaging seven feet to the
mile. There are no rocks.
Throughout Arizona are large min
ing camps and many smelter and 9TH
er cities which do not produce any
of the necessary foodstuffs. The fruit
and hay, beef, dairy and other prod
ucts of the Salt River valley find a
ready market in these important
places. Special crops, such as cotton,
cantaloupes, oranges and lettuce are
shipped to outside markets. Facili-
ties for handling by rail and truck
and the growing demands OF our own
state insure a permanent market for
Salt River valley products.
Water Cost is Low
The cost of water for irrigation
purposes. including the upkeep and
improvement of canals, is for the
present season $1.60 for the first two
acre feet and so cents for the third
acre foot. These figures for the Salt

tility to the regions thousands OF
once-desert acres.
Although the completion OF the
Roosevelt Dam and Salt River re-
clamation project about 1912 marked
the beginning of the development of
agriculture in the valley this long
has been an agricultural region. Fifty
years ago people Of the valley brought
water to their farms through rude
ditch which connected with the river,
and ever since irrigation has been
slowly but surely conquering the de-
sert.
In the early days considerable
grain was grown in the valley which
was used to a great extent as a feed
ing ground to fatten cattle sent in
from the ranges of the state. Grain
was perhaps the principal crop un-
til II or Is years ago, when the dairy
industry began to develop. The rise
of dairying and alfalfa was rapid
from 1910 until 1917, when the dairy
industry began rapid decline as
more and more farmers turned to cot
ton. Alfalfa held its own until 1920,
however, and "came back" in 1921.

the chief output of the county, the
citrus fruit industry also is carried
on on large scale, as Is the grow
ing of lettuce and melons in season
for the eastern markets. Maricopa
county produces the finest grape
fruit in the United States, as well as
as the finest lemons and oranges.
Maricopa county is also one of the
largest dairying counties in the state,
producing practically all of the dairy
products consumed by Phoenix.
12,So4 Mo tor Cars
About One- half Of the automobiles
registered under Arizona licenses are
owned in Maricopa county. The rec
ords of the dcretary of state shows
that a total of 29,S26 automobile IL
censes were issued in 1921, or which
12,S04 were registered from Marico-
pa county. A total of ABB trucks
were licensed by the state. of which
1,542 are credited to Maricopa coun-
ty. There are, according to the rec
ords. 401 motorcycles in the state.
of which 206 are owned in Maricopa
county.
Maricopa county has more miles
of paved road than any county in
the state and with the completion of
their hard road program will have
a total of $40 miles of paved high
ways in the state. With the compile
ton of the program, every town in
the county will be connected by a
chain Of paved roads and nearly ev-
cry farm in the county will be with
in one mile of a paved road, espe-
cially in the Salt River valley.
Maricopa county was organized by
an act of the territorial legislature
on February II, 1871, which created
the county. Prior to that it was part
of Yavapai county. In 1873 part of
Maricopa county was taken to form
Pima county and in 1875 part was
taken to form Pinal county. In 1881
a small section of the county was
given to Gila county, leaving the
boundaries of the county the same
as at present.
