The investigation brought out the fact that due to the large number of retailers in the meat business it has become necessary for them to charge high prices because of the distribution of the volume; and that chain stores in many instances, in going into the meat business, had reduced the volume to the extent that the independent retailer was forced to make an increase in order that he exist at all.

In Syria, one must often go to an electrical shop for motor-car tires. The strange sign above this shop in old Damascus indicates that many Bedouin and Druze sheiks are abandoning their fine Arabian sjeeds and thirstless "ships of the desert" for gasoline wagons shod with American tires, which, as the sign above the door "have conquered the deserts of Syria, Iraq and Persia." v. a a 5 ETHETE. March 14. (JP) Death today had cast an ominous shadow over the Arapahoe Indian reservation and disrupted the first tomahawk ceremony to be held in 28 years.

The red men were reluctant to speak of their trouble to the white men but it was learned that Catherine Morris, wife of Crook Morris, prominent member of the tribe, had died yesterday at the opening of the final ritual in the tomahawk spectacle. As the tomahawk ceremony embodies the dance of health and is a supplication to God for physical strength and power the Indians were awed by the advent of death as a climax to their ceremony and locked upon it as an omen of the Great Spirit's wrath. A council of the older Indians of the tribe was hastily called and it was decided to abandon the tomahawk ceremony, which was to have ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY FOR GREYBULL VALLEY TO BE ASKED OF U. S. RECLAMATION SERVICE Issue Rapped Powell Building Project May Be Lost POWELL, Wyo.

Injunctions filed in district court at Cody threaten to defeat plans the erection of a new school and gymnasium building to serve th? Powell region. A $70,000 bond issue was voted for the improvement, but it is contended that this would increase the school district debt to more than the two per cent statutory limit. Opponents of the building project believe that a less expensive building can be erected without issuing bonds and that it would serve the purposes needed.

When death occurred as a climax to the dance the Indians were thrown into panic and immediately called upon their leaders for guidance. The dance probably will be held again next week. In the meantime the Indians are camped on the sun-dance grounds and will hold elaborate ceremonies in connection with the funeral of Mrs.

Morris. She was a niece of Henry Lee Tyler, chairman of the Arapahoe council. Hers was the second death among the Indians in recent weeks, Mrs. Bruce Grosbeck, wife of another member of the council, having died two 'weeks ago. The fact that Mrs.

Morris' death was the second recent one among families of tribal leaders added its ominous significance. Former Governor of Wyoming Promotes Gold Development Frank L.
