stronghold to burn trains, butcher
passengers and ranchers and rav- j
age the countryside.
Even so, there is constant, if i
slight, fear of another Yaqui out- i
break.
While Southern Pacific of Mexico !
trains now travel without soldiers, i
two cavalry posts at Esperanza and
Bicam are ready to protect citizens.
"There is not a family in this ' (
area but has suffered at the hands 1 shelter
of the Yaqui," L. M. Byerly,
American farm machinery . mer-
chant, explains.
“This valley today is in exactly
the same position Arizona found
itself in the 188fi's, says Sidney
M. Morrison, manager of the Rich-
ardson Construction Co. which
opened the valley’s vast irrigation
system.
Our valley has the Yaqui, Arizona
had the Apache,” he continues.
' There is the constant fear not only
of another Yaqui outbreak, but of
further expropriation of lands un-
der the agrarian system.
Farm Training.
“Some progress is being made
among the Yaqui in training them
to become able farmers, but it
seems slow by American stand-
ards.”
Mexicans themselves feel their
government has been wasteful in
giving the Yaqui tribe more than 12
million acres of land which extend
to the Gulf of California.
A large portion of this is irri-
gable and it is through this that the
v Utah Construction Co. has been

kilometers long.
Eventually water will be fed into
the canal system solely for Yaqui
Indian use.
But the Yaqui continues to call
the Mexican "yori,” or enemy.
Generally they dislike laws, sol-
diers, government agents and
Americans.
They remember the 1903 massa-
cre of thousands of Yaqui and the
trainloads who were shipped like
slaves to work in Yucatan.
of pedigreed and valuable dogs.
Dogs Are Highly Prized
Many a mutt is so highly prized
by a family, they would not consent
to sell it for all the tea in China;
yet a week is the longest such a
mutt will live in a pound. After
that, if unclaimed, it is gassed to
make room for more hapless little
waifs.

“Out of 20 dogs we get at the
Tilley says, “only one is
caught with a license tag. Out of
19 dogs, three may be claimed by
owners. Out of the 16 remaining,
another four may find new owners.
The remaining 12 are destroyed.
Multiply this number by the number
of cities, hamlets and counties, and
you get an appalling death toll.”
Tilley estimates that 50,000 dogs
are destroyed yearly in New York
and 25,000 in Los Angeles alone. He
thinks that 500,000 is a conservative
i figure for the number of unfortu-
nate pets which die in the gas
j chamber every year.

Bronx Woman Wears ‘Cheap’
Brooch Which Costs S5,000
NEW YORK.—A $5,000 brooch,
worn by a Bronx housewife for two
years as a cheap piece of costume
jewelry, was claimed by Mrs. Serge
Voronov, wife of a Russian gland
specialist.
Mrs. Voronov sent word from the
principality of Monaco, south of
France, that she would forward
complete data on the pin she lost
in April, 1943, while strolling near
the Savoy-Plaza hotel.
Mrs. Eleanor Hamilton, the house-
j wife, found the brooch in the sum-
mer of 1945 in the Bronx, several
miles north of the spot where Mrs.
Voronov lost it. Mrs. Hamilton
spotted it near a sidewalk while tak-
ing her children to the Bronx zoo.
The first jeweler to whom she
took the pin offered her $10, then
$20 for it.
was something more than costume
jewelry, she took it to another shop
where, to h^r consternation, it was
valued at $a,000.
Tag-- Are Missing
Another argument in favor of dog
tattooing, Tilley says, are dog own-
ers themselves. “In the 71 years of
our SPCA work,” he says, “most
1 of them simply wiAald not be edu-
: cated to keeping the dog’s license
tag on him all the time. And usu-
• ally it is the time when the license
1 tag is off that the pet gets lost."
During the war, when the tags
i were made of soybean plastic, the
i dogs used to eat their tags like
, biscuits, and when caught without
identification were just so much
closer to the gas chamber,
j To prevent dog records from be- l
ing destroyed in a fire or any other

Eccentric Recluse Wills
Greta Garbo Big Tax Bill
ALLEGAN COUNTY, MICH —
Film Actress Greta Garbo will real-
ize little if anything from an estate
willed to her by an eccentric re-
cluse, it appears.
A final account filed in probate
court here of the American assets
of the late Edgar Donne, Allegan
county farmer, revealed $1,119 with
claims and taxes of $2,099 due.
Approximately $19,999 in assets in
England also probably will be
wiped out by ini ritanre taxes,
court officials believe.
Spokesmen for Miss Cnrbo said
that whatever proceeds accrued 1 r
from the estate of ti e 76-year-old j
Donne, who had never seen the
actress, would go to charity. i
