A TREE-covERED DESERT.

According to the common no.
tion the desert is barren, track
less waste covered by drifting
sand, but the Papago country OF
southwestern Arizona is a desert
that is green and tree covered and
contains ponds and cultivated
fields. However, the verdure is
deceptive, the trees cast almost no
shade, the ponds are dry most of
the time, and such fields as may be
cultivated yield crops only at in
tervals. Great areas are without
water, and the few inhabitants of
the region, human and animal, are
engaged in a continual struggle
for a precarious livelihood. Rain
is infrequent, but at times it comes
with devastating suddeness and
vigor. During these rare periods
of rains, roads that are ordinar-
lily difficult to traverse because of
deep sand or dust and lack of
watering places become seas of
mud.
In this inhospitable environment
the Papago Indians have lived
since tie days of the early Span
ish explorers, and doubtless long
long before. In summer they cul-
tivate corn, beans, and squash in
The broad valleys where floods
wet the ground; in winter they
congregate at wells or other wat
ering places in the mountains. A
few white stockmen, miners, store
keepers, and government officials
are scattered through the area.
AT the great copper camp of Ajo,
however, the traveller will find a
modern city of 1000 people, an
outpost Of civilization in the des-
ert.
In 1917 the road from Tuscon,
the county seat of Pima county,
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1923-01-19

to Ajo was 136 miles of rough and
difficult travelling. This journey
"a whole days trip by automo-
Dile-was attempted only by the
experienced desert traveller Bv
l92o there had been constructed
over the worst parts Of the road
81 miles of modern highway. and
the Journey can now be made in
Iour hours. Indeed, the road from
Iuscon to Yuma, which includes
Tins road to A.io, bids fair to he
come part of one OF the popular
transcontinental routes.
The Papago country, which is
south OF ella river and north Of
the Mexican boundary, forming a
triangle that lies west Of Tuseon
and east of Ymua, is the subject of
a guidebook by Kirk Bryan, inst
published by the United States
geological Survey. This guidebool5
is the fourth of series that de.
scrlbes the roads, wells, springs
and watering places OF the most
arid part of the United States--an
area OF 10000 square miles in
southeastern California and south-
western Arizona.
Surveys were made in 1917 and
i9lS, under a small appropriation
by Congress. Signposts giving di-
rectlons and distances from water
ing place to watering place were
erected on the roads at suitable
points. The maps made by these
form the most valuable
part OF the guide books, for they
are the most complete and acclr-
ate maps of the regions yet pub
Iished. The relief of the country
is shown by brown shading, whicI,
brings out clearly the forms Of the
mountains, hills and broad plains
and makes the maps easily under
stood by any one.
