What to do with spare time in the way of recreation should never enter the minds of San Juan Countians during the coming summer months. Besides offering scenery that can be looked at over and over again, one of the most comprehensive recreation programs of any county in the Four Comers is available for merely the initiative of joining. Both the San Juan County golf course and city swimming pools are now open and a broad program of baseball and softball for boys, girls and men is being instituted. Spare moments need never be wasted for want of something to do. San Juan County has plenty for everyone to do and all it takes is participation.

ROUNDUP AT CORTEZ My dear San Juaners: I remember Old Fatty. He didnt Impress me as more than a good natured old man, inclined to smile and to take life easy as long as possible. But back of Fattys smile he cherished the sturdy ideals and the uncompromising resolution which had made and preserved his people as a title tribe. When Mancos Jim told me that Fatty was his father, It elevated the old man to a new place of dignity. I didnt think the old man could put on any such expression of combativeness as Mancos wore all the but I had another time, thought coming. When I became aware that the Piutes were in defiance of the orders of the United States to go on a reservation appointed for them beyond the boundaries of San Juan, and that, though they numbered less than 400, they held out and continued in Allen Canyon and vicinity where their fathers had been for generations past, I took a new interest in them. In spite of the fewness of their numbers, their poverty and their ignorance, they had a rare element of strength and diplomacy which commanded respect. When I interviewed Mancos Jim on the subject, he spoke freely, but firmly: Ar-re- n Canyon, me heap likeum. Lon time ago, my Papa here set down. Here shreep. Me too heap much likeum. Me That in subhere shreep. stance was the solemn admonition which had passed down from father to son, till some resolute old fighter told it to his boy Fatty; the father, Fatty, breathed it into the heart of his son, Mancos Jim, and the man Mancos Jim got it into the blood of his son, Geotge Mancos. So they are all sleeping in their beloved Allen Canyon, a strong line of invincibles, deserving of respect for their courage and their diplomacy. They cherished the resolution that no United States, or anybody else in their free world, was going to drive them from the land sanctified to them by glorious ages of victory. Their gallant old fathers had bequeathed it to them, and it was to be theirs forevermore. Mancos was too wise to ally his people with the Colorado Utes who barged in by force in the 90s, intending to take over the county, and inherit all the improvements the settlers had made. He foresaw that the Utes were courting trouble, for when Governor Caleb W. West ordered them to get out, or else, they went. The Allen Canyon tribe laid low and remained. When we arrested Posey In 1903, and his people, with a big mad sent for Mancos Jim to come at once, he came. He rode all night, but it was to restrain his people from stirring up premature and unnecessary trouble. He knew that discretion is the better part of valor, and as a wise diplomat, he advised his people to let the matter pass. He had evolved a wholesome respect for the white mans fury and for the white mans know-how- . Once when he tried to stop a herd of steers from crossing the point from lower Hammond Canyon to the mouth of Dry Wash, and frightened A1 Dagenhart who was pointing the herd, Jim Jones came up there like an invincible fury, gun In hand and sent the old Piute running for cover. At another time when he came on to White Mesa and found a barbwire fence across a trail he had followed from his childhood, he stopped in fury considering what he would do to God-give- JUNE 15, 16, 17 Shows At 8:00 p. m.
