ARIZONA HIGHWAY EXPENDITURES

ARIZONA HIGHWAYS MARCH, 1932

Since we have attempted to keep the roads open. Well, one blessing will result, our reservoirs should, if not be filled, at least have more water than they have had in the past ten years.

Chow is getting scarcer, Living mostly now on beans.

Medicine man's dope no work To bring him back from there.

Making the Best of It

Painted desert buried, Trees of stone all hid from view. Grand Canyon wearin' ermine, I can picture now for you.

Papoose in the hogan, Two wives him cutting sage To feed so plenty sheepy, While Snow God in his rage.

By RAWSON When the frost is on the window And I'm mostly cutting wood Cats lying round the fireplace I would if I could.

All this in Arizona, Land of wondrous scenes. But! We never saw such things befor Or had 'em in our dreams.

Some Indian him go shootin' Wild horse for his meat. "Cinagoes" now come plenty, Till Snow God goes to sleep.

"The Beautiful" afallin' Now up to my knees. Deeper where it's drifted, By a wind that's more than breeze.

NAVAJO VERSION OF THE SAME

Indian sheep all dying, Snow God make him go wild. Medicine man he praying, Snow God be more mild.

Land of plenty hogans, In winter of 31 and two, Always will be remembered By Navies who live it through.

Snow plow on the highway, Where there would be limousines.

Sun God he go south. Lost down there somewhere.

-By Frederick San Diego Rawson, Joseph City, Ariz.
