There were sheep than people in the colony! Pigs were -not- popufar however There were only 2,057 of them, and these no doubt were under the care of Italian settlers. The Italians in Libya made up only 10 per cent of the population in 1938. Most of the rest were -Moslems of Berber stock. The Berbers have skins which range in shade from light yellowish brown to dark brown, almost black. (For TRAVEL section of your scrapbook.) naa oniy rour persons to each three square miles!

was captured by the British the past January. The second largest city is Bengasi, which was the home of 64,000 people in 1938. Next come Misurata and Homs. Two of the leading cities of Libya have the same names as two cities in Syria. In Syria we find a city named Tripoli which is smaller than th one in Libya, also one called Homs.

If we look for something common between Syria and Libya, we find that both are, for the main part, Moslem countries. Most of the people in' each case honor Mohammed as Allah's prophet Another point is that both Syria and Libya were formerly part of the Turkish empire. Italy got control of Libya only. 32 years ago. It took the colony away from Turkey after a short war in 1911.

Although Libya is mainly a desert land, it would be a mistake to look on it as entirely a sandy waste. Thousands of square miles near the coast have soil and climate which are fit for crops or for grazing lands. Far from the sea, there are oases where people live and plants grow well. In a recent year, Libya had cattle and 91,000 camels. Camels- are.

Arizona and -New- Mexico gave 6,561 men to the federal' cause of which 277 died in service.

i- ti Soon after the organization of the territory of Arizona, Governor Goodwin, on February 20, 1864 called the attention of the war de- partment. to the advisibillty of raising a regiment of Arizona-troops, familiar with the locality and the work, to fight the Apaches. This authorization was granted by the War Department April 16, for a regiment to serve three years, or for the war, the officers to be ap pointed by the governor. An attempt was made to raise six com panies. Most of the papers covering the enlistment and service of the Arizona Volunteers are in the office of the adjutant-general In Phde-nix.

There are letters from C. T. Hayden, and others, recommending Frederick A. Ronstadt as colonel, on the basis of experience in a similar position in the army of Pesquiera, in Sonora, and others -recommending Henry A. BIgeloW of Wickenburg.

Co. of Which Robert Postle, of Prescott, was to have 'oeen captain, was recruited to the strength of only 35 men, mainly Mexicans enlisted from the placer fields at Weaver. The men were sworn in at Whipple, October 7, -1865. The -company was mustered out October 15, 1866. Co.

94 men, had an enlisted strength wholly of Maricopa Indians, gathered at Maricopa Wells' September 2, 1865, and mustered out at Sacaton July 31, 1866. Co. C's enlisted men were Pima Indians, includg Chief Antonio 7 Azul, who ranked as first sergeant The first captain named was the noted California writer, Ross Browne, who had only lately finished a trip through, southern Arizona. He was mustered in as captain in San Francisco, Decern- ber 21, 1865, and credited to "Prescott, Socorro County, Arizona." This would appear to be as far as -he got on a military career. A Captain Coster was then appointed and, on his discharge, First Lieut John D.

Walker was promoted to r. i be captain. Walker had lived among the Pimas for years and spoke the language fluently. -l Co. was organized by Capt Hiram H.

Washburn, at Tubac and Fort Mason, in the Santa Cruz val-ley. This company had a ull r. strength of 94 men, nearly all of them of Mexican or native birth. Co. was recruited in the same neighborhood by Lieut Oscar who had to dismiss 53 of his recruits, leaving him a platoon of only 35 men.

Following the muster out of the Arizona Volunteers, the Legislature in November, 1866, expressed warmest gratitude and highest, praise to the officers and men of the battalion for the valuable and efficient service they had rendered in hunting and destroying the implacable Apache during the- past year, it being stated: "They have inflicted greater punishment upon the Apache than any other troops in the Territory, besides ofttimes pursuing him barefoot and upon--half rations to his fastnesses, cheerfully enduring the hardships -encountered on mountain and desert" Regret was expressed that- "the financial condition of our young Territory permit of our offering a more substantial, reward and expression of our obligations to SKULL VALLEY By J.
