AREONAS' INDIANS

(This is one of a series of
articles describing Arizona's
principal types of vacation
attractions, issued by the
Arizona Industrial Congress
in the interests of the "See
Arizona" movement.)
Indian life and the roman
tic associations of native at
nosphere unquestionable are
q considerable factor in Ari-
zona's ever-growing tourist
popularity, and the Indian
reservations which dot the
state must be accounted one
of its many distinct types of
vacation attraction. To the
resident Arizonan on outing
bent, they may but incidental
to scenic and climatic
charms, but the picturesque
Indian settlements and their
colorful ceremonial add ma
erially to the delights of
seeing Arizona"

RANCE CONDITIONS
REPORTED FAVORABLE

Nights were cool through
out the week; days were
moderate in the middle and
hot at the close of the week;
a few light widely scattered
showers fell in the northern
and eastern mountains. The
heaviest amount fell at Fort
Bayard, n. M. At this place
grass and range feedare i'm
proving rapidly, cattle are in
good condition, and water is
reported plentiful. In the
extreme southeastern part OF
Arizona, dry warm weather
has decreased the water sup
ply, but so far range and
cattle conditions are good.
In southern Santa Cruz cOun-
ty all grazing and cattle con-
ditions are good. In the
nearly central mountain sec
ton, around Prescott for in
stance, range and cattle are
fair and water supply is
good. In central Graham
county good conditions pre-
vailed although there was
no rain at the reporting
station. A sprinkle of rain
fell at one station on the
Roosevelt drainage area
which benefited the ranges
locally, and fresh showers
benefit the ranges in the
mountains. Conditions are
goo d there. Immediately
south of the Grand Canyon
water is scarce, range and
cattle are fair. Reports from
Gamerco, n. NJ, and Seliman
were missing. At Williams
high winds increased evapor-
alton of water supply; stock
and range are fair there, a
sprinkle of rain occurred.
the calf crop improved since
last week at Pinedale; it is
now reported fair to excel

The week was ideal for all
crops. At Yuma cooler

strawberry season; although
no shipping of strawberries
is going on, local markets

RETURN TO
THEIR HOME LAND

Characterized by some as
the greatest exodus since the
HuguenOt Hegira in the six
teenth century, between Co.
600 and $4,000 Mexicans
have repatriated from south
ern California since January
l thereby creating a three
sided controversy between
government officials, fruit
growers and the Chamber
of Commerce.
Into the picture of the
great migration has crept
pitiful as we'll as principled
scenes as Mexican laborers,
usually with large families
sought to return to their ma
tive Mexican states and were
stranded on desert wastes or
arid mountainous regions.
Three principal reasons
are advanced by immigra-
ton authorities, Chamber of
Commerce officials and Ra-
fael de la Colina, Mexican
consul here as the causes for
the general migration. Pri-
marily, Colina says, the un-
employment situation coupl-
ed with love Of their home
country is responsible for the
exodus.
From California fruit
growers and DR.. G.. P. Gle
ments, head of the agricul-
tural department of the
Chamber of Commerce,
comes condemnation of any
alleged campaign immigra-
ton authorities are conduct
ing to lower the population
of 100000 MeXicans in the
United States. G. B. Moore,
secretary Of the Western
Growers Association, says
vegetable and fruit growers
of Southern California and
Arizona have become alarm
ed over the incessant stream
of Mexicans pouring over the
border into thei + native
lands.
Americans are so far re-
moved from the class of
work Mexicans do in the
fields" Moore says, "that
a labor shortage during late
summer harvest time is sure
to result"
Starting in January as a
small trickle over the border
the exodus has grown to
such proportions that rail
roads are furnishing special
trains and coaches to trans
port Mexicans to Ell Paso
from where they are distri-
buted to the Mexican states
of Jalisco, Michoacan, Qua
najuato, Aguas Calientes,
and ZacatecaS.-EX.

Farther south, the ella

eaton and south of Phoenix,
and the great Papago reSer-
vations near Tucson, are as
sociated with some of Ari-
zona's most interesting early
history and prehistory. On
the former, Pimas and Mari
copas are tilling land farm

which vanished a thousand
years ago, while the Papa

tions recall memories of the

Verde reservation. The Co.
copah reservation near Yuma

STATE SCHOOL FUNDS
TOTALING $l,995,6OO
APPORTIONED IN YEAR

State school funds amount
ing to 1895, ,600.07 were ap-
portioned to the IA counties
of the state during the
school year now closing, ac-
cording to figures released
from the office of c. O. Case,
state superintendent of pub
lie instruction. The funds
apportioned in four install
ments, the basis being $25.35
per pupil for the year on a
daily average attendance of
1858 pupils.
Maricopa county received
S713, ,095.51. The daily aver
age school attendance in the
county was 28,130. Pima
county with S231,775.06 for
the year received the second
largest apportiOnment.
Of the money appOrtiOned
1,851,775 was derived from
the S25 per capita tax levied
for the school population of
he state, and $143,825.O7
was derived from non-taX
sources such as interest on
loans of the permanent
school funds, rentals from
school lands and national
forest fees.
The total levied for the
year under the S25 per capi-
ia school tax amounted to
S1,966,O75 but of that
amount S114,300 was used
for purchase of school books
and supplies and the over
head expense 0 fthe depart
ment of education. The to-
tai fees from nOn-taX sources
amounted to S246, ,285. so.
The remainder of that
amount not apportioned for
the year was used to buy
school supplies and to pro
vide a balance to be carried
over to the next school year.
1t is believed that next
week, Mr.. Cases office will
be able to provide an esti-
mate of the amount of state
school funds to be apportion-
ed during the school year
1892. The amount to be
raised by the S25 per capita
tax will be calculated exact
ly in the estimate.

YULE TREE FIRE
CAUTION URGED

Use of every possible precaution
against fires in connection with Christ
mas trees and other decorations of the
holiday season is being urged by the
fire department.
1t was pointed out that many fires
and serious accidents occur during the
Yule season each year because of the
use of large quantities of highly in
fammable decoration material.
The following rules were advocated:
avoid lighted candles in the deco
ration of the tree. Use carefully wired
electric lights.
"Place the tree a safe distance from
stove or fireplace.
"Use metal tinsel for trimming, and
mica or flake asbestos for imitation
snow.
"Cotton trimming and cotton
whiskered Santa Clauses are very
dangerous. Santa suits and whiskers
can be made fire resistant. Consult
your insurance man about this.
"Never have lighted Christmas trees
unguarded.
"Do not place the tree where it will
obstruct any room exit.
Keep candles and open lights away
from window curtains, paper wreaths
Remove the tree from the house be-
fore it becomes dry"
