COYOTES OUT-WIT THEIR
PREY, SO TRAPPER SAYS

Speaking from a knowledge of wild
animals, especially those of the Ari-
zona desert country, Pancho Maduro,
rancher, trapper and big game hunter
spoke before group interested in ma
tural history on the subject of ''How
the Wild Life Kills It's Prey" at Skull
Valley, giving some of the means used
by the animals in seeking their prey.
"The coyote, a notorious chicken
thief, has a means of bringing the
fowls into his reach that reaches a
par with the work of a thinking
brain," said the trapper. ''The chick
ems, roosting above the ground see the
coyote and attempt to watch his move
ments. He trots around and around
them and they continually follow
ing him with their eyes until one be-
comes dizzy and falls to its death.
"The wisdom of the coyote is also
shown in the way it will team with
another of its kind in running down
a rabbit, the two taking turns and
working in relays until the rabbit is
exhausted.
'eThe bear is fastidious as to his
meals and loves veal or beef tongue,
so when killing, his powerful paws
bend back the neck of the victim unS
til the calf or COW thrusts out it's
tongue in an attempt to bawl, then
Bruin bites it off. He will also turn
loose calf after having chewed away
a portion of the tongue and face"

HOPIS DETERMINED TO
KEEP WOMEN DRESSED
In KNOCKERS AWAY OFF

At the request of the Hopi Indians,
woman missionary on the reserva-
tion has issued the following edict to
those who attend the tribal snake
dances:
"All white women touring the Hopi
reservation to witness the snake
dances and other tribal ceremonies
must wear dresses, and not be attired
in the garb of men. Failure to OBJ
serve this rule will result in a for
feiture of the privilege of watching
the rites of the Indians"
The Indians consider the appearance
of women in "knickers" as disrespect-
full to them, and their age-old religious
ceremonies, and they are determined
to put stop to the practice. Women
dressed in mems clothing have become
a source of displeasure to the Hopis,
and each year more and more of them
come to the reservation arrayed as
men. "The white women have lowered
themselves in our estimation" chief
of the tribe said, "and, if they cannot
take the example of our own women
in modesty Of dress, we must keep
them away, else our women will be
pestering us to let them wear our
clothes. This they will never be per-
mitted to do"
It is the intention to turn back all
women hereafter from the snake
dances who come in the clothes of
men, and there is some speculation as
to whether the Indians can get away
with it"-Prescott Courier.

but the development will mean the
distribution of several hundred thou
sand dollars here next year for labor
payroll and supplies.
At this time, though they have
great deal of werk ahead in selling
the bonds, awarding contracts, etc,
it is not amiss to express the thanks
of our people to the present city
council and to the one preceding for
the splendid work they done in
adopting the most feasible plan for
development and in securing the ad-
vantageous contract from the Santa
Fe railroad company. In connection
with the latter should be noted the
valuable work of I. B. Koch of the
council, who in personal conferences
with Mr.. Etter, general manager OF
the railroad company, secured conces-
sions from the company that mean
thousands of dollars added revenue
year to Flagstaff's water income.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP, DEER
AND TUFTED EAR SOUR
REL INCREASE AT G. c.

Wild life has increased rapidly un-
der the system of national park pro-
lection in Grand Canyon national park
according to the national park service.
Although protection has been afford
ed only since the area was taken over
by the national park service in 1920,
all species of wild life show a decided
increase.
Mountain sheep appear to be des-
tined to be one of the features of the
park wild life, if present increases
continue. During the past season
many parties on the canyon trails
have been fortunate enough to see
some of these interesting animals. A
few days ago a guide in charge of
party of five tourists was surprised
by a band of Is crossing the trail
about so feet in front of him. The
caretaker on the Hermit trail reports
a band of five large rams grazing un-
concernedly on a hillside short dis
tanee above where he was working,
and states that hardly a day passes
on which he does not see at least one
big-horn.
Deer on the south rim are also on
the increase, and few may be seen
by careful watchers along the trails
in the forest.
The Albert squirrel, large gray
fellow with tufts on his ears and a
large, bushy, gray and white tail is
also showing the effects of complete
protection, by marked increase, as
have many other smaller animals and
birds.
The results of protection so far af-
forded are extremely gratifying, for
besides giving wild life a chance to
increase they are also becoming much
tanner and therefore seen more fire.
quently by tourists. 1t is anticipated
that in the next few years protection
and the strict enforcement of the
regulations prohibiting dogs and cats
loose in the park will result in game
becoming so numerous and tame that
all visitors will be able to see wild
life in its native haunts.
