VETERAN WITH
Wife TAKE hike
ACROSS COUNTRY

James Merimee Beaven and his
beautiful wife, Nokomis, who is ma
tive of Arizona and an Usage Indian
girl, arrived in Douglas late yesterday
on a health walk They have walked
across portions Of 81 of the states of
the union and are continuing their
walk with the intention of walking in
every state.
The Beavens have a letter signed by
Governor G. w. p Hunt. They secure
such letters from the governor of each
state they enter when it is possible to
interview the executive. 1t is the in
tention of the pair to write about their
adventures after they have completed
their walk
In August of 1926, Mr. and Mrs
Beaven were living in Denver, Colo,
and Mr.. Beaven's health was not good
so they decided to take walk and
live in the open as much as possible
while on the trip They state that they
have had some very thrilling expert
ences and many very pleasant and in
teresting ones.
They have just come from the coast
where they were interviewed both in
Los Angeles and in San Francisco by
newspapers and they have clippings of
large pictures Of themselves which
were printed in those papers.
Beaven is a veteran of the Worlds
war, havill; spent some 20 months
with the American eXpedttionary
forces in France and Belgium. 1t was
during his service that his health be-
came impaired.
Mrs Beaven told The Dispatch re-
porter last evening that she was en-
ioying this part of their walk very
much as this is her home state and
| she expressed regret that in order TO
keep their agreement and walk
through every state in the union they
must leave Arizona Monday, their next
| long stop being FL Paso.
These walking tourists state that
they actually walk when they are on
their regular schedule, but that yes
terday they were doubling over ground
already covered once before and so
arranged to ride part of the way and
made the distance from Tucson to
Douglas all in the one day.
| They are travelling light at present,
having sent their camping equipment
ahead of them to FL Paso where they
i will pick it up with the intention OF
camping out much OF the tlme curing
the remainder of their walk.
! The Beavens are not colnmerclallz-
ing their trip to any great extent.
They are not walking for the publicity
they can get out of it, Mrs. Beaven
now and then sells some bead work
for which her tribe is noted and she
also lectures occasionally on their ad-
ventures.
! They are both very much interested
in the border country and yesterday
/, commented on the manner in which
Arizona people speak of the weather
of the past few days which has been
very dark and damp.
The pair keep a dairy in which
they record everything that happens
every day of their trip. They take
great many pictures in the many towns
in which they stop and intend to have
a complete record both in writing and
pictures of their trip when it is COM
pleted
