By HENRY R, BAKER (Staff Correspondent of The Casper Tribune.) «Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association.) GALLUP, N: M., Sept. 12—Once ynore covered wagons are creaking ‘across the. desert, whips cracking over teams while alkali swirls over ail as the last scores of caravans join those afready camped about this city. But, this is no mere cavalcade posing before the movie camera. It is groups of prairle schooners, the dusty riders on thelr plodding ponies and the figures that move up and down the picket. lines where more than a thousand horses will soon be tethered, are serious folk, gath- ered for a serious purpose. Nor are they a new set of pioneers. They are descendants. of the red men | who were once the white man’s enemies, now: answering the wi man’s call to take part in the gr intertrial Indian ceremoniala being Mgps Grown Los Vtes Desert Zunis, from the land of the inscrip- tion rocks; Navajos from the Bridge of the Rainbow; Pueblos and Isletas from the adobe villages and others from the surrounding plains and hjlls, representative, of 14. different ‘and at one time highly uncogenial tribes of red men, are gathering to perform, withou remunery their most sacred rites of and worship, propitiation and bene- diction, long jealously guarded from allen eyes. Here, on tho ancient tralls .of their ane » who camped beside these same mesas and in these arroyos when Rome was young, they will perform the ancient rites, some of them said to be little changed from the days when the land was theirs. ‘The gathering here at the corners of four states, roughly the center of a circle enclosing the’ now shrunken domain of the Indians of the southwest, is unique quict, aside from its barbaric coloring. It ds unique, in that it seems to present the result of an altruistic effort that ‘has been met with suspicion. It was started by a small group of artists, writer and business men with a view to promoting the wel- fare of the Indian by encouraging the activities which make him self- supoprting and = likewise helping maintain his better traditions which have psychological value to him, it 1s said, as well as a practical benefit. *“Commercialism has been kept out. Tt is predicted that this year will see the 2,000 participants of last year supplementéd by many more, for the long and patient efforts of the promoters in persuading the In- dian to perform his” sacred cere- monies in public is having its effect. Many of the educated Indians, all of whom still look with respect, if notrwith piety, on their tribal cus- toms, were at first Joath to encour- age publicity for the sacred old dances. However, the demonstra- tion ef good faith on the’part of the white men and the obvious benefits that have accrued, have won them over. Most of the Indian dances are so vitally bound up with the very existence of the people—especially those connected with propitiating the gods of cloud and thunder in a country where rain is scarce—that it ig natural that they ore serjous affairs. But observers say that, in making them public, the Indian has lost none of his sincerity. He blesses his house in impressive pantomine, invokes the thunder bird and propitiates the deities of seed time and harvest so that the most casual of tourists can not fail | to be impressed. In all the natural hubub always surrounding such an event there !s much seriousness displayed by the white population as well as by In dians that robs the situation of the | atmosphere of a wild west show ‘The natural surroundings, the dign!- | fled bearing of the red men and the whole atmosphere of the place adds to the imprensiveness of the occa ‘sion, But the red man, by his very numbers, makes t average pale face glad that the peace plpe and not thg tomahawk, {s the symbol of the afy. —-—_—__— A watermelon weighing a littl over 103 pounds was grown this sei son by a farmer of Weatherford Tex SALT CREEK BUSSES 3 Busses a Day Each Way LEAVE CASPER Townsend “Hotel 8a. m, 10 a. m., 2:30 p. m.

As for the theory that a president should not apply any religious test in. making appointments to office, Mr.. Coolidge is of the opinion that his 6wn record, both as governor of Massachuretts and as président, will be ‘sufficient answer on that score. Not only has he appointed Jews and Cathdlics to office, but also negroes and he ‘thinks ft would be unwar- ranted on his part to be conscious of any distinction while considering persons for public office.

These related to a scheme for the eo- ordination of co-operative marketing organizations. Mr. Coolidge had a group of experts examine the Mc Nary-Haugen bill and hé was in hopes, that. out of the’ general dis- cussion would came a bill sitisfac- tory to all farm interests. For a while; on the surface, it appeared as if) most of the farm. organiza- tions were {p favor of the MeNary- Haugen bill. The true nature of the support given the measure was dis- counted in the national capital to some extent because of the pressure xerted from various sections of the country upon the executive boards of the farm organizations to swing into Une behind the bill, though the m leaders here were ot altogeth-| er certain of its value.
