Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Brunswick. May 13--With the Goth
annual Maine intercollegiate track
meet but three days away, Coach
Jack Magee is doing everything pos
sible to round his team into the best
possible condition. Coach Magee is

three Maine colleges have much
stronger teams than they did last
year. and that Bowdoin will have a
hard battle on her hands to retain
her supremacy in track. The Bow
dom student body is just beginning
to realize the truth of this state
ment.

EARLY MORNING FIRE
ON WINTHROP ST,

Timely discovery of fire in the
house of Melville Smith on Winthrop
street at 220 this morning confined
the damage to not more than $1,000.

not yet determined over the bath
room on the second floor and had
worked through the roof when the
firemen arrived. 1t was necessary to
lay only one line of hose, the chemi-
cal being used to good effect. after
the flames had been partially sub
dued.
The house was occupied by Frank
Madore and family and Mrs. Madore
was first to note the flames and
smoke. An alarm was sent in from
Box Sc. The house occupied by
Charles Simpson and family and
Percy I.arrabee and family adjoin-
ed the Smith house, but this part Of

! the Indian service in this whole coun-
try, ard that well is at Kayenta, rs
miles north of Tuba City, where a
small boarding school is located. The
only irrigation project which the gov
ernment has undertaken in this reser-
vation is the small Marsh Pass project
at Kayenta, and this has been prac-
tically a failure because no one seems
to have had enough interest in it to
induce the Navajo to use it or to even
clean out the bitches.
"The agricultural possibilities of
the reservation are limited. The res
ervation covers 1919, 200 acres, of
which only $500 acres, it is estimated
is under any kind of cultivation, 1000
acres being irrigated. The open graz
ing covers 1920, 200 acres, and graz
| ing land, on which there is some tim
Der, covers I,012,000 acres.
Taking present conditions as a
whole, the greater part of this region
| is of such a character that an average
white man would not be able to more
than exist if compelled to depend en-
tirely upon agriculture, or stock rails
ing, or both. But for generations the
Navajo have managed to make better
than precarious living out of their
semiarid country Given some sub
stantial encouragement, some practical
help in the line of stock water, and
there is no question but what these
f-suppofting Indians, although very
poor, would become prosperous. 1t
must be borne in mind that the gov
eminent has done practically nothing
for them; all the activities of the ir-
rigation section Of the Indian service
have been devoted to developing the
water supply of the Navajo and Hopi
counties east of this reservation.
Feed conditions over much of this
reservation are fair from the point of
view of the desert stockman, although
cattle ralsers from the humid belt to
the east would be utterly unable to
1 figure out how cattle and sheep could
he raised with any prospect Of profit
on this range.
"The local stockmen told me that
the proper water supply for a grazing
country in this desert involves not a
few large supplies but many small
ones; not an increase in quantity
/ where water now exists but moderate
/ supply at various points where there
