The Apache Trail

/ have seen no trail so wildly ter
rible and beautiful as this. 1t IS
so-called because it was the dark
stronghold, and bloody stalking
ground of the fierce Apaches. No
Indians were more war-like or caus-
ed so much trouble to the white set
tier than these. After the Apaches
were brought to peace, they were
engaged by the government in max
ing this remarkable highway.
Contrary to all opinion the
Apache became the most trust
worthy and tireless Of laborers. He
proved faithful in prosecuting the
work in his old familiar mountain
Businesses. ''Tell us what you want
us to do; show us how to do it; then
let us alone,' the superintendent
was told
It was great piece of engineer
ing. The road rises thousands of
feet, over immense mountain ranges
5000 feet high. There are many
long steep grades with many I'm
merman'' turns. First you go
through Salt River Valley to Apache
junction. The road takes you to
Canyon Lake, which is made by
Mormon Flat Dam. You go around
Superstition Mountain, with peaks
that look like the mountain had
been shattered by lightning. These

is a dark chapter in history
Above some of these dams the
slope approaches the perpendicular
for thousands of feet. The rocks
are a bright green to the summit,
the color being caused by pea
green lichen. Other formations ara
green-gray, yellow, pink, crimson,
chocolate, buff and cream, what
might be called gorgeous scenery.
They are called the Painted Cliffs.
The contour is often ragged and
craggy. The horizon makes a very
distinct line, in the distance very
bue, but when the sunlight falls on
them they show up, in all kinds Of
colors.
Fish Creek Canyon is most spec
tacular of all, with it's overhanging
cliffs hundreds of feet above the
road, and abysmal depths hundreds
of feet below, the automobile cling
ing to the scar in the rock, like q
fly, until you arrive at a beautiful
lake below. When you stop the
car in the groove carved out of the
mountain, and look down from
above it is like Dante's Inferno.
Your voice awakens echoes long and
loud as you face the cliffs beyond.
Here too, is the stronghold of the
giant cactus saguaro, 200 years old,
standing dignified and serene, un-
disturbed by encroaching civiliza-
tion. Baby saguaros, 40 to so years
old are springing up everywhere.
Some are sixty feet high. These
stern individualists seem to be
climbing up the steepest ascents,
and crowding each other to the at
tack, as Union soldiers climbed the
heights of Lookout Mountain, and
stormed the battlements there.
They seem to flourish, rooted to
the solid rock. / examined them
and found them to have roots like
oak-trees. Uncle Sam protects them
in a forest of 100000 acres. Their
accordion like flutes swell out with
the rain and shrink again with the
drouth. Rain poured in torrents
that day to supply them. The
roads were turned to mud,
the natives said the worst rain in
three years. They became very
dangerous. But. we had made ac-
quaintance with our kindred, the
cacti, plants, shrubs, the rocks and
the mountains. We shall never get
away from them; these memories
shall never be effaced-Howard H.

Danaher announced today. Compensation claims, however, con- tinued the trend of the past few months and were down 19.1 per- cent in October and the amount of benefits paid declined by 23.4 per- cent from the previous month, the Commissioner pointed out. Closing of active claim cases registered a 15.4 per cent decline in October from September.
 The 1O,527 initial claims filed at local offices in October compare with 9,759 reported in September.
