WALLAPAI DIVORCE SEASON

Under the old tribal custom of the Wallapai and many other Indian tribes of the southwest, woman could di- vorce her husband after a years trial of the marriage relation, if she was not satisfied with the general conduct of her buck, but she must await the arrival of the first cold weather of winter before leaving the marital home. The female, when they arrived at the tender age of ten years, were sold to the males and had no alterna- tive but to go to the hogan of the husband and remain there not less than one year. There was no mar riage ceremony, the purchase being the only evidence that the woman be- longed to the man. Sometimes as: high as $500 in cash, blankets or hors- es was paid for the girl, according to her tribal station. The girl returns. to her parents after the divorce, af- ter which she may choose the man for husband without interference of the tribe, although such women are gen erally tabooed by the squaws gener- ally, having failed in duty to her par ents who sold her.

DEATH OF PIONEER
 RIVERMAN AT YUMA

There died at Yuma last Monday one of the oldest rivermen in the state, Capt. Isaac Polhamus, aged 94 years. Capt. Polhamus came to Ari- zona in the early sixties of the last century and became commander of the fleet of river boats for the Colo rado Steam Navigation company, which corporation was owned by San Francisco people, later passing into the hands of the Southern Pacific railroad. Second to Capt. Polhamus in command was Capt. Jack Mellen, who now resides in southern Califor- mia. The boats were kept in commits sion until after the building of the Santa Fe railroad, when only an oc-
 casional trip was made to upriver points. In 1865 he was welded to Miss Sacramento Sambrano Ferrar at old La Paz, a priest having been brought in from San Diego to per form the ceremony. Miss Ferrar was 2 cictcr of Mrs. Conception Gross, of Mineral Park. The couple had born to them four sons and four daughters, the daughters being among the most beautiful women of the Pacific coast. One son is sheriff of Yuma county, another general passenger agent. of the Canadian Pacific railroad and the other two are engaged in business pursuits. Mrs. PolhamuS died at Yuma last June.
 Capt. Po1hamus was splendid fel- low, beloved by all who knew him. His life on the Colorado river was a constant round of events that made history for the whole southwest and his stories, like those of Capt. Mel len, were interesting in the extreme. During the Indian wars he mixed with the warning tribesmen and maintained friendship with all. Under him dur ing these early years was William ,Mulholland, of Los Angeles, who act ed as mate on one of the boats. These steamers were named the Cocopah, the Colorado, Mohave and Gila. They piled between up-river points and Port Isabel, on the Gulf of California. Coastwise vessels piled between San Francisco and the Gulf and supplies for Arizona, eastern California and New Mexico were brought in through these ports. After the building of the Laguna dam, above Yuma, river boating was discontinued and the old boats were finally tied up to their berths near the railroad bridge at Yuma and allowed to rot.
 Thus another of the men that link the misty past of the southwest with the present day civilization has passed over the divide.

Little To Ask

She was the sweetest, most innocent little girl he had ever seen, and he watched her sympathetically as she stood kneedeep in the snow, fumbling in her handbag with tears of vexation in her eyes.
 May I help you?" he asked gently, not wishing to frighten her.
 She smiled shyly.
 "Yes," she answered. "Will you please roll this cigarette for mel"

However. the outline OF the features
is just "a good "a ever II was.
The reason OF this change is the
abnormal time tfat Ireland has

The Next War

Terrible though it is, the picture Of
the next war drawn by Will Irwin in
his book and his lecture is true. So
is his deduction that appalling
next war will inevitably come unless
civilization organizes against it, sets
up a reign of law in the world, and
creates an international power cap
able of checking it in it's beginnings.
Both The character of the next war,
and the fact that it can only be avert
ed by organizing against it, are as
clearly visible and as unacceptable as
the blazing sun on clear noon.
Either the world will organize
against war before war comes, or the
shattered, scattered remnants of white
civilization, cropping dazedly in the
ruins of its world after its next war,
will organize, hopelessly, against yell
low domination. And if yellow DOM
nation comes, it will be because it
deserves to come, and because white
civilization, by its folly, has deserved
to pass from the worlds stage.

dren, rules against cruel and inhuman
methods Of warfare are gone for
ever. They began to go two weeks
after the World war began, and they
fell one after another. 1t is useless to
build them up again, for they will fail
again. international anarchy such as
made the late war and will make the
next if it is not succeeded by the reign

tain them.

BILE, now, with such fiendish devices as
Lewisite gas to wipe out whole po-
pulations. The inventor of this ter
rible weapon guarantees that with =
dozen airplanes, controlled by wireless
and loaded with death bombs, he can
in night wipe out every vestige OF
animal and vegetable life in any
great city. Warfare with disease
germs was on the verge of being used
in this war; it will be applied in the
next war. ...1.. ..

forecasts the inevitable. What he
tells, incredible as it may seem, is
truth. What he forecasts, appalling
as it sounds, is familiar commonplace
in every military headquarters in the
world.
Mankind must destroy war, or war
will destroy mankind. The only possi-
BILE way to do it is to organize against
it. If the late war, through which
