BRYAN KNOCKS OUT "COLOR MARCUS GARVEY IS CONVICTED IN THE BLACK STAR FRAUD Jury After Ten Hours' Deliberation Brings in Verdict of Gulley— Sentenced Thursday to Five Years. ASSOCIATES ARE ACQUITTED Ptery Leader Loses Head and Abuses Judge, Jury and Prosecutor— Thrown Into Cell— Bail Refused. (Crusader Service.) New York, June 22. Marcus Garvey, advocate of the "Back to Africa" movement and defender of the Ku Klux Klan- jim-crowism, lynching and the white's man's fiat of Negro inferiority, was found guilty by a jury before Judge Mack in the Federal Court Monday night of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock of the Black Star Line, which Garvey organized. The jury retired at 12:30 o'clock in the forenoon, and the verdict was returned ten hours later. Orlando M. Thompson, George Tobias and Ell Garcia, who were identified with the Garvey ventures and had been indicted with him, were acquitted. Two indictments had been returned against the four men, but Garvey was found guilty of the third count in the second indictment. It is alleged that he had continued to sell stock in the Black Star Line Company when he knew it was insolvent. Garvey admitted this when he testified in his own behalf. Three other indictments had been dropped because of the government's inability to get the persons involved to testify in view of the intimidation carried on by the Garvey crowd of fanatics. The delay in delivering the verdict was due to the insistence of two jurors that a verdict of guilty be returned against another of the defendants. Eventually the other jurors satisfied them all Garvey employees had been more rubber stamps int he hands of an autocrat. Garvey Loses His Head Garvey Loves His Head Garvey made a demonstration in the court room when he heard the verdict. He violently abused the prosecutor and the jury and insinuated that they might be forced to relent. So violent was he that five United States marshalls surrounded the U. N. I. A. "Moses" and led him up. As he passed Mrs. Garvey, he fell sobbing into her arms. Prosecutor Mattuck, who handled the case for the government, made the request that Garvey be held without bail after Garvey's white lawyer, whom he had summoned in toward the end of his trial, had asked that he be released on the $5,000 bail under which he was held after his indictment. He branded Marcus Garvey a menace and told the court that evidence in his possession showed that the African Legion was supplied with guns and ammunition and were continually threatening the peace. Thursday Marcus Garvey was sentenced to a term of five years in the federal prison at Atlanta. WEDDING ELABORATE The most elaborate social affair ever given in South Omaha was the marriage of Miss Mildred I. Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Riley Williams, to Mr. Muegene Johnson, at Bethel Baptist church, Monday night, June 11th, the Rev. Thomas A. Taggart officiating. The church was beautifully decorated with pink and white roses. The color scheme was carried out in the refreshments. The bridesmaids were Miss Genevieve Jackson, gowned in white chiffon, and Miss Blaney Smith, gowned in lavender organdy. Each carried bouquets of pink rosebuds. The little flower girls were Mattie Tolbert and Lucille Myers. The ring bearer was little Alberta Stearns. Following was the bride, gowned in a beautiful white crepe creation trimmed in real Spanish lace. Her lovely veil was held by a string of crystals. She carried a bride's bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. The best man was Mr. Alex Delworth. The bridal couple received many beautiful and useful presents. After the wedding refreshments were served in the reception hall of the church. The couple are at home at the home of the bride's parents, 2513 M street.

TRADE UNIONISM MAY ELIMINATE COLOR BARRIER Favorable Action by National Body Expected as Result of Frank Accusation by Race Delegate RECOGNITION MAY BE FORGED Officials Assure Recalcitrant Delegate of Full Sympathy With His Manly Wheeling, W. Va., June 22—Colored men in trade unions throughout the country will be recognized in the future, according to an announcement made by the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly at their regular semi monthly meeting here a short time ago. The statement folowed an accusation by Abraham Evans, colored mine delegate from Warwood, in which he asserted that his race was being denied proper recognition as labor men before the assembly, as well as throughout the country. Evans declared that the Negro should stand upon the same footing as the white man in the ranks of organized union labor, if he is loyal to the organization. To Force Recognition Evans was assured by officials of the assembly that color should be no bar in organized labor. At the end of the long darwn out discussion, announcement was made that a concerted effort to enforce recognition of colored miners in this district would be immediately launched, and that the complaint of the delegate would be carried to the national body. It is reported that some labor organizations in certain sections of the country have recently taken a decided stand on barring Negro labor from the ranks of organized unions, and despite the efforts of those who claim that the colored man can not get a "look in," these high handed methods have not been abandoned. There are hundreds of colored men affiliated with the local assembly, the majority of them being miners, and there are thousands of colored men throughout the country connected with the different trades unions. The action of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly, it is believed, marks the opening shot in the suririted war to be waged against discriminatory practices in the unions. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1923 IGGERSJAY THE OLD-AY MAN-AY IS ATCHING-WAY (Copyright, W. N. U.) From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back Experiences and Observations of the Editor on Trip to Southland Where He Saw Many Things of Interest SOME PLEASANT SURPRISES IN HOT SPRINGS One of the many pleasant surprises with which I met upon my arrival and all too brief sojourn in Hot Springs—for my stay there was less than forty hours—was, as I have already intimated, the friendly and homelike atmosphere of the place. It was snowing when I arrived and there was biting crispeness in the air, thoroughly exhilarating, which was very like near-zero weather in Nebraska. This no doubt added to the home-like feeling. It was a pleasant surprise to find this kind of weather, for I like it. Do you know, I don't think we ever get entirely away from the things we learn to love in early childhood, eFbruary is my birth month and Canada my birth place. As I write now far beyond the meridian of life, I recall with delight how I loved to play in the snow as a child in my Canadian home—and we had some snow in Canada in those days. I don't know how it is now, but I know how it was then. Snow had a fascinating tendency then for me and has yet. And so I was pleasantly surprised to find "The snow, the snow, the beautiful snow" of which Sigourney and others have sung, falling in this far southern city. As I walked beside my stalwart host, Father Whitlock, I was surprised to find what a short time it took us to reach St. Mary's Episcopal church, which is within a stone's throw of the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific stations and the Post Office and right across the street from the magnificent Pythian Bath House and Sanatarium, erected at a cost of $275,000, and at that time nearing completion. I shall speak in extension of this wonderful building in a subsequent article. St. Mary's is a neat brick structure, or a rather nondescript type architecturally, for it was built with the utilitarian idea of combining a chapel, a parish house and a priest's residence all in one. As there is ample ground, I think the idea is eventually to build a large church and use the present building as parish, hall and rectory. The lower floor is occupied by a small but neat chapel, the upper floor is comfortably fitted up as living rooms for the Priest of St. Mary's and his family. A former priest, Archdeacon Johnson, who erected the building, had a large family, and made provision accordingly. Father Whitlock does not need all the room for he is not married—yet. His mother lives with him, and he professes to be in no hurry to be married. His mother had been called to her home in Virginia by the illness of his sister and he therefore expressed regret that we would have to take our meals out. He was the soul of hospitality and no one could have made me more comfortable—nor did I lack for substantian home-cooked food for the cafe to which he took me is known as the Vapor City Cafe, on Malvern avenue, and only a short distance from the rectory, the efficient and business-like proprietress of which is Mrs. E. L. Stokes. It is a strictly modern up-to-date cafe, nicely appointed, and the meals such as to satisfy an epicure. As we entered the cafe two young men seated at one of the tables arose and cordially greeted me, saying "How do you do, Father Williams, what in the world are you doing down here?" They were two young men who had attended St. Philip's, Omaha, a few months before, with Mr. Irving Grey. Another young man accosted us, saying, "My name is Ballard, I have read several copies of The Monitor, and I wanted to meet you and tell you personally how fully I approve of your ringing editorials. Let me do so now." I thanked him. Dinner ended Father Whitlock took me to the Woodman Hospital and Bath House a fine structure, erected at a cost of $100,000, occupying a prominent corner on Malvern avenue. It is a modern, spacious fire-proof structure elegantly furnished and adequately equipped. It is in charge of Dr. Baraban, a skillful physician and surgeon, and an eminent gentleman a friend and fellow student of Dr. W. W. Peebles, of our own city, at northwestern University, Chicago. Dr Peebles was in the College of Dentistry and Dr. Baraban in that of medicine there. Dr. Baraban courteously conducted us through the institution. I had hoped to have cuts and data of this institution which would give my readers a more adequate conception of the place but I have been unable to get them. As we entered the reception room two gentlemen were standing there talking. Hearing my voice one wheeled around and said, "Hello, Father John, this is indeed a pleasure." It was my friend of many, many years standing, Frank B. Waring, of Chicago, who was for such a long time director of St. Thomas' Church choir of that city, his wife being the well-known physician, Dr. Mary Fitzbutter-Waring. The other gentleman smiled and extended his hand. He was Dr. Wesley, a well-known Chicago physician and another old friend whom I had not seen for several years. "Jess is here, too, Father John"—Frank, despite our friendship insists upon always addressing me formally as "Father John." "He'll be mighty glad to see you." He referred to my friend of boyhood days, Jesse Binga, now prominent as a banker in Chicago, and destined some day to be one of the wealthiest men of our race, if success continues to follow him, which I sincerely hope it will. His business success has not swollen his head. When Jesse and I were boys together in Detroit, I wonder if anyone ever dreamed that he would be a banker with an elegant mansion in Chicago's exclusive residence section? I do not know whether he overheard our voices but as we attended the stairs he was about to descend and with hand outstretched cipherly greeted me with. "Hello, John, this is indeed a pleasant surprise? When did you come? How long are you going to be here?" After being conducted through this wonderfully interesting institution, in itself a liberal education as to racial ability and efficiency I had the pleasure of meeting several delightful guests from far-separated parts of the country, cultured, up-standing men and women. All of this was, of course, a pleasure augmented by the pleasant surprise of meeting so many old friends at Hot Springs. (Next article: "A Busy Sunday In Hot Springs.") VICTOR RECORDS OF RACE ARTISTS The Victor people have decided to put out records made by colored artists. This decision is largely due to a suggestion made two years ago by Sol Lewis, the North Twenty-fourth music dealer. Mr. Lewis wrote the Victor people stating that he was convinced that the colored people were demanding records by colored artists. The Victor people replied that he was mistaken, that colored people as Americans were satisfied with the records they were putting out and this feature was unnecessary. Mr. Lewis from time to time reported his sales of O-Keh, Black Swan and other records featuring race artists, from this territory alone. The figures were significant. Now comes the announcement that owing to the demand from dealers the Victor people have decided to make records of colored artists.

COLORED SCIENTIST, CARVER, TUSGEGEE, SPRINGER MEDALIST Peanut and Sweet Potato Wizard Has Developed 290 By-Products from These Popular Tubers. RECEIVES BRITISH HONORS Medal Awarded in Consideration of His Recognized Achievements in the Field of Agricultural Chemistry. New York, June 22.—The Spingarn Medal, awarded annually for the most distinguished achievement by an American citizen of African descent, goes to Dr. George Washington Carver, of Tuskegee Institute, for 1922, it has been announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The award was made by a committee composed of: Bishop John Hurst, chairman; Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Dr. James H. Dillard; Oswald Garrison Villard; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois; Dorothy Canfield Fisher and Dr. John Hope. The medal is awarded to Dr. Carver: "In consideration of his services in agricultural chemistry, his recent recognition by a British Royal Society, and for lectures on agriculture during the last year before white and colored audiences, particularly in the South, where his clear thought and straightforward attitude have greatly increased interracial knowledge and respect." Dr. Carver's achievements include developing 165 by-products of the peanut and 115 of the sweet potato; making potash and china berry meal from the china berry; making a tonic for stock food from vegetable products. He also devised a dressing for canvass shoes, and white and white and colored washes from clay; used okra fibre for paper, rope cordage, straw matting and carpet, and made 20 varieties of laundry bluing.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. VIII—No. 50 LINE" GOVERNOR BRYAN ERASES COLOR LINE IN BOXING BOUTS Objectionable Ruling of Nebraska Commission Effective For Last Two Years Set Aside VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION Lum Doyle, Who Favored Ruling And Told Delegation He Would Rigidly Enforce It Removed From Office Lincoln, Neb., June 22.—Governor Bryan, unlike his weak-kneed republican predecessor Samuel R. McKelvie, has had the courage to do the righttight and erase the objectionable color line ruling which has been effective since the passage of the boxing bil ltwo years ago. Under the bill the commission ruled that boxing bouts between colored and white contestants were unlawful in Nebraska and such bouts were not permitters. Protests were made against this rule to Governor McKelvie, but without success. Lum Doyle, the boxing commissioner, favored the ruling and a delegation of citizens who presented a petition signed by 5,000 citizens of all classes requesting its appeal, that the ruling had his approval and would be rigidly enforced. His attention was caled to the fact that boxing contests had been staged between whites and Indians, whites and Japanese, Mexicans and other dark-skinned race, the ruling have been enforced only as to contests between colored Americans and whites. He made "no bones" of telling the delegation that so long as he was boxing commissioner, "Negroes and whites would not be permitted to box ni Nebraska." Last Tuesday Governor Bryan repealed this ruling, declaring that it was in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States and of this state. He also announced that he had discharged Lum Doyle, state boxing commissioner and transferred his duties to H. H. Antles, secretary of the department of public welfare. It was upon the grounds of its unconstitutionality that prominent colored citizens who have no puarticular interest in the fistic arena opposed it and requested its appeal. LOCAL ELKS TO BANQUET NATIONAL HEAD OF ORDER Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson Of Washington To Be Omaha Visitor Next Week The local lodges of the Independent Brotherhood Progressive Order of Elks of the World are exceedingly active these days.

GOV7RNOR BRYAN KNOCKS OUT BOXING RULING GOVERNOR BRYAN has rescinded the ruling of the Nebraska boxing commission which forbade boxing and sparring contests between colored and white contestants in Nebraska. The ruling as The Monitor contended from the outset, was purely arbitrary, based solely upon unjustifiable prejudice and was in direct violation of the constitution of the United States and the state of Nebraska. These facts were formally presented to Governor McKelvie, together with a petition of more than 5,000 names from all classes of Omaha citizens for the removal of the bar to mixed bouts, by a delegation of colored citizens headed by Henry W. Black, president of the Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but the Republican governor adroitly side-stepped, with all the consummate skill of an artful dodger, and declined to act. Upon Bryan's election it was decided to renew the effort to have this ruling set aside. A delegation waited upon Governor Bryan some three years ago. It was again headed by Mr. Black. The report of the delegation favorable interview with Governor Bryan was reported in full in The Monitor. There was no side-stepping upon the part of the democratic governor. He frankly stated that he believed the ruling unconstitutional but desired time to give the subject consideration, and he gave assurance that he would take action on the matter. Last Friday he rescheduled the ruling as bein unconstitutional. By this action, Nebraska takes her place where she rightly belongs in that galaxy of states which recognizes the constitutional rights of all her citizens. Discriminatory laws, practices, customs or rulings against any class of citizens, which are not applicable alike to all citizens, are entirely out of place in an enlightened or progressive commonwealth. Laws, rulings or practices aimed against colored citizens as such with the sole purpose of placing the brand of inferiority upon such citizens must be and will be vigorously opposed. The ruling against Nebras Chapter Thirteen Enacted in 1898. Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1893. Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons. All persons within this state shall be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, public conveyances, barber shops, theatres and other places of amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to every person. Sec. 2. Penalty for Violation of Preceding Section. Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any person, except for reasons of law applicable to all persons, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges enumerated in the foregoing section, or by aiding or inciting such denials, shall for each offense be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars, and pay the costs of the prosecution.

No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person unqual protection of the laws. mixed bouts in Nebraska belonged to this category and Governor Bryan has done the right thing in setting it aside. many of our citizens are showing in the upkeep of their homes. No matter how humble our dwellings may be, let us all see to it that the premises and dwellings are made as attractive as possible. Where there are lawns, keep them well trimmed, and make the grounds attractive with flowers. Let those sections of the cities and towns where our people reside in large numbers be made real show districts in cleanliness and beauty. In cities like Omaha, where there are so many home owners and attractive homes this can easily be done. If your neighbor, who may be a tenant only and not an owner, seems careless of his surroundings, try to encourage him to spruce up. PERHAPS ANOTHER CRAFT LAST week we published a thought-article, as all his articles are, from Kelly Miller, of Howard university on the Harding administration. Dean Miller's conclusion was that while colored Americans will not be enthusiastic over Mr. Harding's renomination, most of them will remain on the Republican ship, because the Democratic ship makes no provision for their passage. This, however, overlooks the significant fact that overtures are being made by the Socialists for the colored vote and many of the younger men, and especially women, are looking with favor upon these overtures. The Republican ship may not be heavily freighted with colored voters. Increasing numbers of them are now ready to take passage upon some other craft. What that craft will be remains to be seen. Many things may happen between now and 1924. Other political crafts may be launched. COMMISSIONER Dean Noyes, in charge of the department of street Maintenance and Improvement, is certainly the right man for the job. ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Nek Omaha streets are being paved and improved in sections of the city where they have long been overlooked and neglected. He seems to have made an intelligent survey of the city's needs and is doing his best to adequately meet them. We hope the good work will continue. FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY (By the Hamitic League) Slowly, but ever surely, the sons and daughters of Ham are creeping into the calcium and making a noise like a race once worth while. Old king Toot, for instance, bobbed up at a most inconvenient time. Klikues and Klans had just about persuaded everybody that the Negro never was anything, isn't anything now and never will be anything. Then Carnarvon and Carter busted into the tomb of king s and discovered King Toot. There was plenty of newspaper noise for a moment. Then silence! Have you ever wondered why? The truth is that folks wanted to know too much. They wanted to know just what Mr. Toots looked like. It would never have done to say that Toot was the color of unbleached coal. Ye white folks couldn't afford it. So out went the high sign to put on the soft pedal, whisper low sweet chariot and lock up brother Toot for a year or so. But Toot was only one blackbird out of a million. A white face in Toot's time was as scarce as a dimpled daisy in December. Let the truth come out. It won't hurt anybody. It may give a gentle jolt to history, but the old girl can stand it. She has stood worse than that in her sweet young life. In fact, things may seem a little more home-like—maybe. She knows that when it comes to claiming a place in the sun, old Africa staked the first home-site. Hers was the sun god and the moon god and all the little gods. The time is here. Africa is holding a royal flush. (Next week: "Memmon, the Son of the Sun") THINK THIS OVER Why Spend Money With Merchants Who Will Spend No Money With Us Either by Advertising Or Giving Our People Employment? A North Twenty-fourth street merchant said the other day, "Nearly all my trade is colored trade, why then should I not advertise in a colored newspaper? It is the proper thing to do; it is the fair thing to do." This merchant is absolutely right. But there are several North Twenty-fourth street merchants who decline to advertise in our colored newspapers, saying that they can get the trade without it. If our newspapers are to exist they must sell advertising. This must be sold to merchants who expect our trade. Show your race pride and independence and fairness and justice by patronizing ONLY the merchants who will play fair in this matter of advertising patronage. Think this over and act accordingly. DEAN NOYES PLACES BARNETI F. L. Barnett, who was the head janitor at the city jail and was discharged with twenty-six others May 1 when Dan B. Butter became Police Commissioner, has been given a foremanship in the Street Maintenance department by Commissioner Dean Noyes in charge of that department. THE MONITOR GULF CALIFO GULF of CALIFORNIA View of Guaymas, Mexico. (President of the Society, Washington, D.C.) The Gulf of California, one of the great gulfs of the world, is next-door to the United States, yet little known. A recent resolution of the Arizona house of representatives seeking to have the United States acquire a strip of territory between Arizona and the Gulf, whatever its fate, at least centers attention on the potential importance of this great body of water. If the Gulf of California were stretched out inland over our country from New York harbor, it would swallow up a stretch of country from 30 to 150 miles wide back as far as Detroit and its busy factories. It was shown on the early maps of North America as the Sea of Cortez, since this bold corsair explored it first. Its depth varies from 600 to 6,000 feet, its coast line on both sides is irregular, and in it are many islands, Angel de la Guarda and Tiburon being the largest. The latter island points its rocky crest 7,000 feet above the level of the sea, and is inhabited by a fierce and war-like tribe of Indians, the Seris, who, it is claimed, have cannibalistic instincts. It can be easily understood that it is solely because of the outlet that there has been a move toward acquiring the strip of northern Mexico south of Arizona, for it is one of the most desolate regions of North America. The map shows that while the southern boundary of the state extends due west for a space from the southwestern corner of New Mexico, it then strikes northwestward at a very slight angle. The resolution sought an arrangement with Mexico by which this bend in the southern boundary of the state would be eliminated so that the line would continue as it started, in a due east and west direction. The triangular area that would be added to the state would be about 240 miles long by about 50 miles wide at the point of greatest breadth. Arizona Would Be Coast State. Arizona Would Be Coast State. The important consideration is that this long narrow triangle is all that separates Arizona from the sea. Add it to Arizona, and overnight the state would desert the 27 inland commonwealths and join the 21 that border on salt water. With its hundreds of thousands of tons of minerals to ship, the state is now bottled up by a narrow region undeveloped and little likely to be developed by its present owner. It is felt that even the desolate, practically trailless desert, and the lack of natural harbors on the Gulf would not deter Yankee enterprise and Yankee engineering ability from laying down a trail of steel and constructing quays or pliers at which ocean steamers would soon be loading, furnishing the cheap transportation that bulky products demand. The areas of most states are well known, even the parts sparsely populated. It is hard for dwellers in many other portions of the United States to realize, therefore, that not only is this triangle of Mexico a terra incognita, but that the portion of Arizona which adjoins it is almost equally so. Most of the region south of the Southern Pacific railroad may be thought of as a desert on which small broken rocky ranges of mountains have been superimposed. In the valleys between the craggy mountains are numerous patches of fertile soil, but little rain falls and there are practically no running streams—only dry stream-beds which now and then carry water for a few hours until it is lost in the sand, and a very few water holes. Both north and south of the border, this region is given over almost wholly to a handful of Papago Indians with communistic customs who range as freely as did their remote ancestors, needing to give, in their desolate homeland, little or no thought to border lines or to the governmental machinery of states and nations. The region—both American and Mexican—is known roughly as "Papagueria," and is seldom traversed by white men. Through it the international boundary extends, the ultimate in arbitrary lines. Swerving neither to the right nor to the left it extends, a straight, geometrical line, running up sheer cliffs and over craggy peaks, hurdling great valleys and tiny arroyos, crossing deserts, lava flows, and sand dunes, until it strikes the Colorado river some fifteen miles below Yuma. And it its imaginary as well as arbitrary. Little monuments from three to five miles apart mark its progress, but these are often obscured; and the Indians and Many are showing their appreciation for the Monitor by sending in their subscriptions.

Not a Pleasant Region. The Mexican triangle of Papaguerria which it is proposed to add to Arizona, is even a more inhospitable country than the border region. In addition to the features of the latter, it embraces a district 30 by 40 miles covered by extinct volcanic craters and an ancient lava flow, and hundreds of square miles of great towering sand dunes that create a landscape like that of parts of the Sahara. On the highest lava peaks of Pinacate, say the old Papaguro legend, their "Elder Brother" landed from his cask after the deluge and after floating around the world four times. While his solicitude for animals was not so extensive as that of the Hebraic Noah, he at least managed to save a coyote and a beetle. The Papaguro formerly were "sand people" living in the sand dune region near the lava fields, with headquarters at the few small water holes. This region is now practically deserted, the Papaguros living by dry-farming and stock-raising farther east and north. On the southern edge of the Bay of St. George is the Salina de St. George, a salt deposit, usually measuring about 325 feet in diameter, but sometimes entirely covered by the sea, which is a favorite with the Papagos. When they need salt, the customary method is to ride to the foothills of Chujubabi, perform a certain ceremonial rite peculiar to the gathering of salt, and then walk the 50 miles to the Salina in about a day and a half. There is no water to be had between the two places. The Pinaate Salt deposit, about fifty miles farther north on the Gulf shore, however, has always furnished the major portion of the salt supply of the Papago Indians. The amount of this heavy commodity that the Indians can carry is astounding. Not only are Papago families in Arizona supplied from this distant source, but in the past the entire salt supply of sizable American towns has been purchased from the Indians. The proposed boundary line would strike the Gulf of California just north of the Bay of St. George, which has been considered by Mexico as a possible port site. There is no general knowledge of good natural harbors along the portion of the gulf to the north, but probably there would be little difficulty in constructing harbor facilities either along Bahia Adalr, which would mark the southern boundary of the addition, or northward toward the head of the gulf. The larger sand dunes are 20 miles from the shore near the gulf head and an equal distance from the Colorado river. The most feasible railroad route probably would be from the neighborhood of Yuma, extending roughly parallel to the river. Paradise for Fishermen. The placing of a portion of the Gulf of California under the jurisdiction of the United States would open up another fisherman's paradise. Even now a few super-adventurous Americans venture to this unknown region on hunting and fishing trips, but in an alien land where only the law of the frontier previsals, it is a somewhat risky procedure. There is a multitudinous variety of fish in the Gulf's waters—a sufficient supply to justify the erection of huge canneries. Today they are serving as food for innumerable pelicans and other fish-eating birds. The natives and Mexicans of the region are without skill and the facilities for catching them. They usually "still-fish" at great depths for the jewfish and turtuva and kill their catches by pounding them on the head when they get them to the surface. At present Guaymas, about half way down the gulf, is the farthest north port of any consequence. Under the strong, centralized, though somewhat despotic regime of Diaz, Guaymas was a bustling port of consequence; but the products of the hinterland fell off under revolution and insecurity, and for years the bay has been sliding up. But it still hints of the possibilities in Lower California across the gulf. Now and then a schooner from that mysterious shore will put into Guaymas and yield up its cargo of dates in rawhide-covered bales, sewed up in the form and size of flour barrels, as the friars taught the Lower Californians to do two centuries ago.

The groups are: Adults, Seniors and Juniors, the latter including primary and beginners. There are sixteen classes with ten pupils in each.

SECURE OPTION ON PROPERTY The Board of Directors of the Old Folks Home have secured a thirty days option on a splendid property, admirably adapted for the home, on North Twenty-fifth street, near Cuming. It is a twelve room house with spacious grounds. The price is eight thousand dollars. It is a great bargain. To secure it it is necessary to raise $3,000 within thirty days. With the prosperous and progressive colored population of Omaha not only $3,000 but the entire purchase price of $8,000 ought to be raised within ten days. Among our citizenship there are those who can and should give $100 each towards this, our only charity. Others can give $50, $25 and lesser sums and give it at once. Let everybody give.
