HOPEL DYING Twenty years ago, the Jicarilla Apaches were an embittered, hope- less, and literally, a dying tribe Their numbers had fallen from 795 | in 1909 to 585 in 1919. They were| leasing their entire reservation — 750,000 acres—to commercial stock- men for $10,000 a year, and they| were starving upon this lease money and U. S. doles. In that hopeless hour, there were two necessities. One was to check the shocking death rate. The other was to get the Jicarillas to go to| work. The work could be only one sort—livestock work. The devas- tating mortality rate was partly a reflex of a despairing and unoc- cupied intellectual and emotional | life. | Small issues of sheep were made ously since then.
