Another way la to make | a cattleman out of him. I Today Apaches are breedera of i lerefoi da, rangomon whose business ! never tukoa them farther off their ruHervatlon than Is necessary to drive | those roving grazers back where they. I belong. They cooperate in an annual, ; spring roundup as enthusiastically as ; their grandfathers ever cooperated lu a night attack on an emigrant train. They argue with cattle buyers, atk fiercely as their forebearers ever argued over battle plans around a *opscllflre. Because their reservation Is their range, and theirs exclusively, the Apaches are prosperous and too busy about their own affairs to bq a menace to the peace or property of white neighbors. The wealthy, powerful white men's "cow spreads" that once grased 40,000 cattle on the Apache reserffctlan of 1,614.340 acreg have been 'banished. In their place' 520 Indian stockmen graze 25,000 animals of their own, sell 5,000 to 6,000 steers a year for a gross of $160,000 to I20Q.00. When >lme and the CCC have repaired some of the damage wrought by tbe white inan'8 over stocking, the reservation will support an estimated 36,000 cat* tie. All this has come about largely through the foresight and persistence of one man, James B. Kitch. In 1914 Mr. Kitch, then superintendent, of the Fort Perk Indian Agency. He came to buy bulls for his Montana Indians, for he had heard of purebred Herefords. What Mr. Kitch observed and learned at San Carlos surprised him, set up in his m|nd a train of thought that was to Have momentous results. He saw that the Apache reservation was natural cattle country?200,000 acres of rolling hills and mesa, 400,000 acres of mesa uplands, the rest mountains where forests and canyons produced abundant forage. It belonged to the Apaches but it was not being used by or for the Apaches. In the enrly 90's after the last Apache had laid down his arms and terminated fifty years of vicious frontier warfare, the. reservation set aside for the tribe attracted attention of white cattlemen. The Chihichahua Cattle Company obained from the Indian Btireau a permit to graze 2,000 cows, but soon it^ herds numbered at leapt ,12,000. Simillar permits were obtained by the Doubly Circle, Bar F Bar, and Bryce-Matetice outfits. kx first they paid nothing, thep low fees were imposed. At the time of Kitch's Visit thbse fees, covering grazing rentals, on 1,080,000 acres, amounted to $80,000 a year. ... This meant about $40 for each Apache, dispensed as rations and clothing by the agency. Even an Apache needed more of an income than that. They did a little farming, but they are not farmers, and the reservation isn't farming country except for a few mnimportant spots. The Indians sold blankets and other handiwork to tourists, but were top far off the main routes for that trade to i>e impprt^at. ^^Ayfew of them worked as ^oW^oyft> the white "renters" and mad^/-"good hands" if pot "top hands'iiljlter they learned the rudiments of handling cattle. Their intimate knowledge of the country made them especially valuable to employ-, ers iii wljd, rough districts. It must also be admitted that some of them stole a good bit. The requirement that they remain on the reservation was impossible of enforcement. They butchered stock out in the hills, made night forays upon the fields of white settlers, looted cabins left unguarded. Probably they were blamed for many thefts they never committed, but the reputation of "them thevln* Apaches" was not very high. 1 Stories that the Apaches resented the use of their reservation by cattle men, planned how they could use It themselves If they had the chance, are exaggerated. If they perceived the opportunity they did little about It. . But James B. Kitch did something about It, althought It took him nine yearB to get started^ Through all that time he pleaded with the Indian Btoreau, badgered his superiors, to the Apaohes Started in the cattle business. In 1933, Commissioner Charles Burke yielded to the persistent Kitch. "AH right yoti may be superintendent at Ban Carlos," ho consented. "Make cattlemen out of them If yon can." The following year, Mr. Kltch reI fused to renew the Cross B lease on Tbe Ash flat range. There was a great1 to do about the rights of white men ! being invaded. Protests were filed at Washington, Superintendent Kitch stood firm and he was sustained. The Cross B cattle were moved away. Apaches moved In breeding stock sopplied to them from the agency herd. As the years went by, the other big "spreads" were forced to vacate. Many a bitter controversy was fought , . ? I) ' 1 . . 1 1 ..i .i imam through, aud several lawsuits, before the Kltch objective was accomplished with the removal* of. {he-last whiteowned outfit, the Double Olrcle. One of several Double Circle herd? driven to Calva, a railroad station forty miles west of Safford, numbered 2,800 and was heralded as probably the last drive of that magnitude that will ever be driven in Arizona. v The years 1927 was a critical one In the Kitch program. By that time the Ihdlans had 6,560 cows old enough to be mothers and Mr. Kitch estimate ed that there would be a "calf crop" of over 3,000. The situation demanded a cooperative roundup such as the white cattlemen had been holding every spring. "Now, will they prove that they are i ii'ii'.. mmmmrneiegma i real cattlemen, or tfill they just priddie along and try to handle their herds individually and miss most of the calves?" the superintendent wondered. ? , He said not a word, waiting for tho Indians to make the first mote. One day a committee camev to him and asked for supplied fojr a chuck wagon. t ? Mr. Kitch smiled, Issued the food .and equipment. The first Apacho roundup was on. The Indians worked (together like veterans, branded 31,(117 calves. They are still working together, at roundups and in between, ^y comparison with former standards they are wealthy. The Apaches aro 'no longer "thevin' redskins," but hardworking, /respected stockmen. 111 1 A 1 , ' NEVER BEFORE HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO BUY AN ALL WOOL SUIT IN THE NEWEST STYLES AND PATTERNS At SUCH A LOW PRICE. - ' - s&df *. -A; ?
