RIVERSIDE, Cal, Dec. g.
The ghosts of camels, long dead,
or still perhaps very much alive,
tread the Great American Desert OF
the southwest.
Camels, wild camels, in America?
Yes, and it is not dream of a
Volstead celebrant. Your Uncle
Sam introduced the bumped ships
of the desert to the southwest as
long ago as 1855, when Fort Yuma,
Ariz., was an outpost of civiliza-
ton, and not the center of heal
try cotton region.
Across the desert the faithful
animals carried supplies to the
army cavalry garrison, which al
ternately fought the Indians and
flies under a sweltering sun.
But the camels, imported from
Arabia, did not take kindly TO their
army duties under a strange flag
They were vicious and unmanage-
able and most of them either es-
capped or were turned loose on the
desert to forage for themselves.
Ever and anon, some breathless
prospector walks into civilization
behind his faithful burro to re-
port apparitions he has seen out
in the Mojave and Coachella des-
ertS.
"Camels,' he says. His listeners
murmur something about the heat
affecting his weather-beaten head
but those old timers who recall the
army mounts firmly believe that
descendants of the beasts of bur-
den still may be found in the des-
ert.
What brought the camels back in
to the limelight today was the story
