Apache Kid, the most noted leader of the Apache Indians during the last ten years, has suddenly and unexpect­ edly returned to Fort McDowell in Arizona. His reappearance has caused uneasiness among the white Inhabi­ tants living near the fort While he gave no reason for his presence, his friends took care to have it plainly un­ derstood that the chief was in'search of a wife or wives. • Since the arrival - .of the Apache chief two friends who returned with him have been wooing all the eligible Apache women of Fort McDowell, but have so far failed to find a squaw or squaws to suit the matrimonial wishes of Kid. The two friends finally got drunk because of disappointment over their failure to find a gentle wife for their chief and they, with , several others, started a celebration at Fort McDowell that terrified the whites, who believed a new Apache war was in process of formation. As a result df the disturbance Apache Kid and his two friends are now under military surveillance. Fear Indian Revolt. Old settlers at Fort McDowell are suspicious of Apache Kid. They would be greatly pleased If he and his friends were imprisoned without de lay In order to frustrate any evil pur­ poses he may have. They fear that he is plotting a new Indian revolt He already has several wives. Apache Kid could not have returned to civilization at a more critical time than the present Recently there was serious excitement among the Apaches and Mohaves owing to the distress and discontent among them. These two warlike tribes came so closely to­ gether owing to their common suffer­ ings that it was believed they had formed an alliance hostile to the whites. The white inhabitants of cen­ tral Arizona went so far as to pre­ pare themselves for a struggle with the redskins. Apache Kid, the most dreaded of Apaches, arrived at Fort McDowell, where Mohaves and Apaches come more closely In con­ tact than anywhere else, just when his appearance served to confirm the reports of the alliance of the two great Arizona tribes against the whites. Has Been In Mexico. The dreaded chief must have passed most of his time in the last five years In northern Sonora and Chihuahua. It is known that a stray baud of Apaches has been operating in that region and Kid has probaoly been the leader. The members of his band stole enough cattle to keep themselves supplied with meat without exciting any concerted action against them on the part of the Mexicans. During the past year the Apaches of northern Sonora and Chihuahua have had a number ot conflicts with the mormon colonists of the region because of raids which they had made on the cattle of the latter. It looks now as though the mormons had made matters too warm for the Aikches and the result is Kid's return ^ Arizona. JOHNJ.

UNITED EFFORT IS TO BE fUktt Local Interests Are to Be Subordin­ ated to the General Good in the At­ tempt to Rejuvenate the Northern Half of the Big Rfvetr. Quincy, 111., dispatch: The upper Mississippi river convention at its final session decided to ask congress for an appropriation of $15,000,000 for the permanent improvement of the Mississippi river between Its head waters and the mouth of the Missouri. The convention also perfected an or­ ganization to be known as the Upper Mississippi River Improvement asso­ ciation, through which it will endeavor to secure favorable action by con­ gress. All questions of local improve­ ments were subordinated to the gen­ eral plan for the development cf river commerce along the entire upper di­ vision of the father of waters. To Look After River. The association Is similar in char­ acter to the one for the improvement of the lower Mississippi, which has systematically looked after the inter­ ests of the Mississippi river commerce below Cairo and which has suceeded in obtaining liberal appropriations from congress, while the upper Mis­ sissippi has received a mere pittance from the national government in com­ parison with its needs. Will Appeal to Congress. The association just formed is the first organized effort ever made to se­ cure proper recognition from congress of the upper river. The 200 or more delegates, representing every variety of commercial and business life along the river, were enthusiastic over the formation of the new association, which among other things will en­ deavor to arouse public sentiment in the upper Mississippi valley In favor of the appropriation asked for perma­ nent improvement, and at the proper time will carry its propaganda to Washington. Predict New Era. Delegates were unanimous in ex­ pressing the opinion that the conven­ tion had resulted in accomplishing something practical and believe they can arouse public sentiment through­ out the country through the associa­ tion by showing how the upper divi­ sion of America's great river of com­ merce has been discriminated against, to the detriment of general commerce between the northwest and the south. They predict a new era of commercial activity in the upper Mississippi val­ ley if they cau prevail upon congress to make the desired improvements in the upper division of the river. To Work Together. An attempt was made to indorse the reservoir system at the headwaters of the river, but was promptly voted down. Many delegates explained that they were not opposed to the reservoir system advocated by the delegates from St Paul, but that if indorsement were given to this local improvement Keokuk, la., would ask for an indorse­ ment of its pet project for an Im­ mense dam; Moline, 111., wouid want the river brought back; Quincy, 111., would otter a harbor improvement plan and the general plan of river im­ provement would suffer through the Indorsement of local projects.
