contest is open to all Arizonans ex-
cepting professional photographers,
and any Arizona scenic photo taken
this year may be entered, so that the
contest is wide open. Cash prizes of
$50, $25, SIS and SO are offered Tor
the best pictures entered, the first
prize winner in addition receiving a
silver loving cup offered by the Phoe-
nix chamber OF commerce, while the
person entering the best group of

pie, and require only that pictures be

merce before October /, and that

whit" THE BOOK WRITER
TELLS OF HIS TRIP NORTH
Rv H. d. o. Whitman

Arizona is certainly Seeing Ari-
zona' this year. And, Judging from
the tourists who make Flagstaff traf-
fic look like miniature Los Ange-
les, so is about half of the United
States.
Northern Arizona right now is in
the midst Of what is probably its
greatest tourist season = easily the
greatest so far as vacationing Ari-
zonans are concerned No matter
where one goes in this part of the
country, where distances are vast and
settlements few, one is constantly
meeting the motor cars that have
brought q record number Of people to
see Arizona's famed scenic wonders
As this is written whole strings of
cars are leaving Flagstaff for the
Hopi country for the celebrated snake
dance at Hotevilla, and Winslow and
Holbrook undoubtedly are showing
similar crowds.
If anyone doubts that Arizona has
come into its own as a summer re-
sort land, he should take a trip
through this part of the state any
time between June and September.
Coming up from Phoenix last week
by way of Rice and Springerville, the
writer encountered an unending sue
cession of southern Arizona cars, and
in between scores of outside ears.
Here in Flagstaff thirteen southern
Arizona cars were parked in one block
early Monday morning, and County
IL" license plates are far outnum-
bered by those denoting other coun-
ties of the state.
Not only is Arizona seeing Arizona
as never before, but outside tourists
are stopping for extended stays in
this northern land. The villages of
the Hopi and Navajo reservations are
crowded with easterners absorbing
local color, and all through the for
ests and flats one sees the camp fires
of happy "trippers." The "tin can"
tourist seems to be less in evidence
than in previous years however.
There is a much higher percentage
of the better cars, and more of them
are stopping for a few days or a week
in the pines, in Oak Creek, at Mormon
Lake. The Grand Canyon, of course,
is having its largest number of visi-
tors.
Along with its other records, the
season should see an unusually large
number of photographs entered in the
'sSee Arizona" scenic photo contest
chambers Of commerce of the state
are conducting in cooperation with
the Arizona Industrial congress. AL
most every Arizona car met thus far
has contained at least one camera,
and If even fraction Of the Arizona
vacationists who have been touring
the state enter the competition
wonderful collection of new Arizona
scenes will be brought to light. The

PRESCOTT AND CHINO
PLAN MAMMOTH DAM

Agreement has been reached be-
tween the Chino valley irrigation dis
trict and the city of Prescott under
which it is planned to build dam
on Willow street involving an expen-
diture Of $85,G00. The project will
open a large area to cultivation.
Under the agreement the irrigation
distict agrees to make such changes
in the Del Rio pipe line and to.defray
the expenses incident to moving the
city power line, rebuilding the line
around the dam and construction Of

and defects will stand the cost of re-
pairs. If leaks occur at any time af-
ter the dam is built the district agrees
to drain the reservoir and make nee
essary repairs. The district also OBJ
ligates itself to bear half of the ex-
1pense of laying a new line through
the lake when this becomes necessary.

There's whole lot more to interest
the visitor at the Hopi snake dance
than the dance itself, especially after
one has already seen 1.-THE way the
people there live, their remarkable
success in raising corn, beans, melons,
peaches and other crops on ash-dry
sand slopes, and more especially the
genuine artistic talent of the Hopls,
even the children.
The writer visited the school rooms
of Mr.. Myers at Oraibi and Mr.. Du
vail at Hoteville. Almost without ex-
ception the children are highly artis-
tic. And there is a neatness and fin
ish to their work, which practically
all is purely imaginative or built on
the beliefs and superstitions of their
elders, which is not to be found in
the schools of the whites.
A little Indian boy of Hoteville in
national poster contest sponsored
by the Junior American Red Cross
won first prize. The contest was open
to the pupils of all Indian schools of
the United States, including even
twelfth grade students Young Clar-
ence's poster was reproduced in col
ors in the Junior Red Cross publica-
ton with picture Of him and brief
story about him.
At Oraibi Mr.. Myers pupils are
doing remarkable work, some of their
drawings being put in portfolio form.
The most remarkable piece Of work
there, probably, is the stage curtain
in community hall, faithful picture
of new Oraibi, with the mesa sur
mounted by the old Oraibi church in
the background.
In some of the rooms in Mr.. and
Mrs. Myers home the walls have
friezes in Indian designs, the window
draperies being embroidered to har-
monize, and many Flagstaff house
wives who had the privilege of in
specting them came away with am
bilious plans for similar home deco
ration.
One of the Hopi Indian schools, ac-
cording to custom of exchanging art
work with white schools, recently
sent a collection to a school in Pitts
burgh, Pa. They received in exchange
a packing box filled with broken
china cups, nuts, screws, and similar
Junk. 1t is the belief of the teachers

in the Hopi villages that in these ex-
changes, art value considered, the
white schools get all the best of it.

Male Pilkington contributes this
live one:
There was once a man in Chicago
with an exceedingly exalted opinion
of his own city He died, and upon
reaching his eternal home he looked
about with much surprise, saying to
the attendant who had opened the
gate: Really this does great credit
to Chicago; | expected to see some
change in heaven The attendant
eyed the Chicagoan a moment and
then remarked: This isn't heaven
Reverting TO the snake dance. One
of the converted Hopis who is most
bitter against it is Johnson, formerly
custodian of the Hopi gods at Oraibi.
Soon after he was converted, he went
to the acting custodian of the gods
and asked that they be delivered to
him. The latter admitted that John
son had right to them, but warned
him: ''lf you treat them with disre-
spect it will react on you and your
family"
johnson loaded them into wagon
and accompanying the holocaust with
a long and vilulent harangue, threw
one after another of the poor gods
into big fire until they each and
every one were consumed by the
flames.

in the Hopi villages that in these ex-
changes, art value considered, the
white schools get all the best of it.
The controversy among the con-
verted Hopis and the others regarding
the perpetuation of the snake dance
keeps cropping out. One of the male
converts was busy distributing leaf
lets among the spectators. 1t was
entitled NThe Hopi Snake Dance;
Viewed By Native Hopi Mission
ary." The missionary author of the
leaflet is Byron p Adams OF Polac-
ca. lie calls those who go to see the
dance mock" citizens. He takes a
thump at the female whites, thus:
The present mode of dress of our
civilized white female visitors is an
other new introduction into civiliza-
tion as we'll as bobbed hair and ciga-
rette smoking. | am not prophet or
a prophets son, but it will not sur
prise me that the time is not far dis
tant when a firm stand against such
costume and habits will be taken by
the Indians and all females coming
in such costume, with cigarettes in
their mouths and using language un-
becoming that of lady, will not be
permitted at their Dances"
Without going into the merits of
the question raised by Mr.. Adams, it
did seem to the writer that some of
the Hopi Indian women weren't alto
gether particular about keeping their
forms covered We thought some of
them were pretty careless in that re-
spect. The woman, flapper or other
wise, who attends the snake dance,
goes well covered against the hot sun.
Some of the Indian women, being
more accustomed to the sun, allowed
their draperies to reveal more of the
human form divine than is ordinarily
to be seen even at our fancy dress
or understanding affairs.
Jimmie Swinnerton, the artist-car-
toonist, was at the dance and his
many Hopi friends seemed very glad
to see him. Another of our national
celebrities who showed deep interest
in the ceremonial was Porter Emer-
son Brown, the author. He is spend
ing several months at Tuba City. We
visited with him before and during the
dance for several hours, but, though
Jimmie passed couple times and
called him by his first name, he didn't
talk shop at all and it was not until
next afternoon that someone else re-
vealed his identity.
