SLAUGHTER PEN.
CROSS WHERE HUMANS WERE
ONCE CRUCINED.
Grewsomo Scenes of the Wlerd
Past In Penltentie Land.
(By M. J. Brown.)
Hidden away among Hie mount
ains of northeastern New Mexico
is a valley where four great
draws intersect, like the spokes
meeting the huh of the wheel
Few white men have seen this
place, and few wiW ever see it
There aro no guide boards, no
Pacific Highway signs, to point
out the road, and thero is so lit
tle to seo when once there.
I rode fifteen miles on a burro's
back, and nearly starved of thirst
a few years ago, to seo the grave
of an Indian Chiefs daughter
who was said to have been tor
tured to death by Spaniards be
cause she would not tell of tin
whereabouts of a Franciscian
Father, who was sent as a miss
ionary to the Pueblos, and who
was novcr afterward seen or
heard of.
The story goes that they cut
off the girl's hands and feet and
finally her tongue.
There was little to see after
the hardships of the journey-
only a mound of earth, a grave
that has lain thero since soon
after Columbus' time. But I sat
there and in imagination saw the
scenes of those days wild be
yond the telling. I forgot my
parched tongue. The journey was
well worth tne price.
And so with this crueifixiion
snot in Penitentie land. if. one
did not know its history it was
like u hundred similar draw cor
ners in New Mexico, and would
nass it without a special notice
A little after noon of the third
day out .wo came lo tins place
which my partner designated as
the "slaughter pen."
Once it had been a public place
of some sort, but ase had its
mark on everything. Thero were
ruins of benches and (ables, there
were rotten sticks of hewn fun
hnr noles. posts and other dead
evidences of a time of life.
In the centre of this level trad
of several acres wns a largo tree-
a dead sentinel. One side of this
had been hewn flat for a distance
of about 20 feet from the ground
On the face of this flat surfaci
had been faslenwd by wooden pegs
yet bidding it securely in place, a
loner nlank. split out of a tree
about four inches thick and 20
feel, hieh.
This was the cross (or a part
of if) on which human beings
wtu'o crucified to death once each
voar.
Think of this, you solicitors of
foreign missies! Think of this,
you who are helping to send mis
sionaries to Africa, uml uunai
The cross arm, that was once
fastened to the plank, complet
ing Urn cross, was gone, but the
'broken wooden pes showed if
had once been there, 'the big
free was (lend but yet sound.
For hundreds of years it is
said that once evony year a man
was ei'ucifird to death on the
cross on Ibis tree; that his feet
and hands were nailed to the
wood; that a spear was thrust in
tf his side; t hut. hitler concoct
ions were raised lo his lips, and
after death had ended the agony,
the body was buried around Ihe
tree.
Pretty grewsomo story to tell
on American citizens almost in
(ho heart of America 'eh? Bui
you have only to look u'p IT. S.
n.my bislory of a lillle over 20
years nr'o to prove Ibis condition
was literally true, for il took the
standing army to slop this aw
ful practice.
And I sat there In Ihe sunshine
and dreamed oT Ihe pant oT (his
old new upol. 1 looked up t the
scarred side of this great I roe
and saw a human being, being
torluiM'd lo dealh by these fana
tics. Then 1 thought of Salem,
Mass.. and ils wilcbburners. And
(hen 1 thought we had advanced a
few in a few years.
Men were drawn by lot (o give
up their lives on this tree,
once u year , on a certain dale,
nil the Penitents gathered here,
when Ihe lollery of death took
place It is said no while man
ever saw the (orlurcs, for a rigid
picket line was spread far out,
and few white men ever vontuurd
into this (hen unknown region.
But story afler story of the an
nual murder leaked out. Pros
pectors saw the Mexicans flock
ing lo a certain centre, and its
said that. Ihe first authentic
statement was given by n young
Mexican girl whosv father was
sacrificed. She fled Ihe country,
got to n mining camp and told
the awful story.
It was then our government
ordered troops into these mount
ains to investigate- and stamp out
(his barbarous rile.
My partner said be was a sol
dier in Ihe army at the time,
stationed at Fort. Wingale. He
was not among (hose who were
sent, but often talked with sol
diers who went on this mission.
He said Ihe officer took n big
bunch of soldiers into the mount
ains. He found the leading fana
tics of the several hamlets and
ordered them to round up nil the
inhabitants in this con'r1nl
grounds oil a certain day. 1 he
most of them came, through fear
and curiosity. And (hen my side
partner said he made them a
short but mighty forceful ad
dress in Spanish like thi
You !e;tei may lasu rum
other, cut your own hearls out
and rat glass if you like, but you
imisl cut out this Jesus business.
If ever another man is nailed to
that tree we will hunt you down
like coyotes and kill you all. Sav.
vy?"
And they say that talk, and the
sight of those soldiers and their
guns, Ikied up there in the
mountain passes, stopped cruci
fixion in Penitentie land, but a
sheep herder told me but this
cornes later.
My partner told me this cruci
fixion ground was said to be
guarded by witches and that you
couldn't get a Mexican to come
near it and that the grass was ac
cursed and not a cow, sheep or
goat would touch it.
While we wore there the team
was unchecked and I noticed
they went to grazing fast enough,
but these horses had not been
reared in the faith. This grass
was as good as any to them. But
it IS a fact the tall grass remains
untouched, but whether it is
guarded by witches, and the goats
know it, or whether the super
stitious natives keep the herds
oir, you may guess.
In a. circle aroud that tree the
driver told me laid the skeletons
of many men, men murdered thru
a superstition, for over three
hundred years, and ho said a
ft shovelfuls of earth thrown
up anywhere around the tree
would uncover human bones.
I wanted some of those bones
with a 40-horse power year, but
I bad a 41-horso power fear. I re
called the midnight in the Zuni
pueblo two years ago, where in
the burial ground lay a sun wor
shipper's skull in the moonlight
and how the driver and I had
planned to get it. Wo didn't. The
savage dark faced Indians scared
us out.
We were many miles from a
railroad or a white man. I told the
driver I would give $10 for one
of those crucified skulls. Ho said
ho needed the money, and probab
ly no one would ever know of our
grave robbing, yet be said if the
fanatics should get wise, we
would probably have somo fun
getting our own bones out of
that bole. So wo didn't dig and
tho bones lie there.
We left this death valley to the
ground squirrels and the ravens,
and drove on, expecting lo havo to
camp out, but just before night
wo saw tho white gloem of a tent,
and a few minutes later a camp-
fire, and wo know thero wo would
find a white man.
And wo did, a grizzled old
mountaineer, hunter, trapper,
prospector and sheep man. Ho
had 1,300 sheep and ho was
herder, rustler and cook.
Ho asl'd us to "got down" and
slay all night. Wo did. Ho pre.
pared supper made bread and
fried frijoles. With hands that
nrobablv hadn't been thoroughly
washed in six months he scooped
out handsfull of flour in a pan,
reached into tho lard pail and
Look out a handful of grease, ad
ded soda and salt, slirred it anil
then nut It into a hot skillet, put
coals on the cover and in a few
minutes we had pones that
looked good lo any man. Ono had
to forget how it was made, and
just go lo it, but in those invig
orating mountains mind and ap
petite triumph over matter with
out much of a scrap.
And this old man told mo the
coming ol the soiuiers uiu noi
stop tho animal killings. Ho said
he lmd never seen ono nut no
knew they had been contiued for
many years therafter, but never
twice in tho same place and in the
emote corners. Ho said that
during Lent ho had seen the Mex
icans going to some central
nee bv many different trails,
hut he never had sand as big as
his curiosity, and never investi
gated..
I he next day wo came lo uie
old stage trail that runs from tho
pueblo of Taos, across tho Ilio-
Grnndo to Bariuinea, and here I
descried tho outfit. 1 had had
nough. I wanted lo see a rail
road onco more.

When a man gets into tins wieru

fore him the cliff dwellers an
unknown race of people who died
and were probably forgotten be

And these old things just make
a man look and think and dream;
dream of the age before fire,
when men were beasts, when they
lived in holes and life was sur
vival of file strongest.
And I hen from down the Taos

SOUND ADVICE ON
THE IAD BILLS.
SOME ARGUMENTS FOR VOTERS
TO THINK OVER.
The way George Hiclnbotham Sees
the Road Bills.
I should like to call the at
tention of Hie taxpayers of the
State to a few facts concerning
these rtato aid road bills that are
c ruing up before us at our next
election and see if they want to
adopt them, after they understand
how they are going to affect us.
You can find the main bill on
page 147 of our little election
pamphlet. Its No. is 340 and 341.
No. 342 and 343 on page 153 is
another of these "Harmony Road
Bills," as they are called. I would
advise every voter in the state to
study these two bills very care
fully before they vote.
As it will bo. very hard to have
any idea of the huge proportions
these bills assume after a few
years, without doing somo figur
ing on them, and as it may be
hard for a good many to find time
to do tho necessary figuring and
obtain the necessary figures to
compute from, I will try and give
a brief and comprehensive state
ment of its workings in Clacka
mas county at a few different
periods. It will bo so that all the
readers of the Courier will be
aide to see what it means, and it
will affect- every other county

just, ns it docs this, in accordance
to their area and valuation.
Now for convenience wo will
call t ho valuation of the slate
$900,000,000 and the valuation of
the county $20,000,000. This will
make t lie figures close enough
for our present, use. The assess
ments will change from year lo
year but tho relative value may
not change very much. The coun
ty's share to pay interest on, of
the first years Stale lload bonds
that are issued would be $28-880
of this $17,000 would be the
county's yearly apportion
ment of the stale road fund and
$11-889 would bo tho amount the
county would havo to contribute
each year to help build tho Paeifio
Highway. Then the county would
have to issue $ 17,000 worth of
county bonds every year to put in
with tho $17,000 wo pet from tho
state fund each year we will havo
to pay four and a half per' cent
interest on tho stale bonds, and
0 per cent interest on tho county
bonds.
The sinking fund on each
year's issue of the county bonds
would be $850 annually. At tho
end of the tenth year the effect
v.ould be ns follows:
Total counties apportionment
to date $170,000.
Tefal interest on county ap
portionment to dale $12,075.
Total counties share of Pacif
ic Highway fund to date $2'.U25.
Interest and Sinking fund on
county bonds this year $10,105.
Total outstanding county bonds ,
to date $121,750.
Total counties apportionment
to date $510,000.
Interest on county apportion
ment this year $22,950.
Total share of Pacific High
way fund to date $356,070.
Total counties interest on Pac
ific Highway fund this year $16,
050. Total counties sinking fund on
state bonds to date $303,030.
Counties sinking fund on state
bonds this year $28,860.
The 30th year is the high water
mark of everything and it will re
main just that way as long as the
Beginning with the Uth year,
the county will havo to pay $1,443
on each years issue of slate bonds
as sinking fund and at the end of
the 20th year the result will be
as follows:
Total counties apportionment
to date $15,300. ,
Total counties interest on Pac
ific Highway fund to date $112,
350. Interest on Pacific Highway
fund for county, this year $10,
700. Total county bonds outstand
ing to date $178,500.
Interest and sinking fund on
county bonds this year $27,710.
Total .sinking fund on state
bonds to date $79,305.
Sinking fund on slate bonds
this year $14,430.
Tho county bonds reach their
high water mark this year and
will remain just at that figure as
long as the law would would be in
force, unless the relative value of
the assessments should change it
a little. At the end of the 30th
year the result will bo as follows:
law is in force, nuloss the rela.
tive value of tho assessments
should change it a little

havo to raise every year from now

Interest and sinking fund on
Pacific Highway fund $27,928.
Interest and sinking fund on
county bonds $27,710.
Amount for county to raise an
nually $95,570.
This would require a levy of
very near three and seven tenths
mills on our own present valu
ation. It. is tho opinion of every
one I have talked with about this
bill, that it would be much better
for us to levy a straight one mill
state road tax every year anr". di
vide this up among tho counties
according to tho number of miles
of regularly laid out county roads
in each county and let them put
that with their county road fund,
and dt) away with this state bond
ing entirely. These trunk roads
through the state should havo
their regular share of this stale
road fund according to mileage,
but no more.
I see that Samuel Hill does not
endorse the state bonding bills.
When the first bond would be
paid off thero would bo over
$10,000,000 of sinking funds ac
cumulated in the state treasury,
to be handled by every state
road board that came into of
fice willi every new governor, and
it is too much to leave in that
condition.

mails, to tho great depletion of
his simoleons. And when he wish
ed to spend many talents of silver
and gold, ho awoke to the fact
that there was a law of tho land
that limited his campaign ex
penditures. And ho groaned with
in himself and wrung his hands
and tore his tarnients, and went
about for a season in sackcloth
and ashes. And he communed
with himself and said, "How, now,
if I blow in my cash it will per
chance happen that I will be
caught up with and Brother Jon
athan will beat me to it after all.
What shall I do? For according to
tho law which these foolish people
have laid down, r make no more
expeditures." And ho grieved
greatly at his calamity. But last
ho came to himself and said, "Go
to now, I must have cash, and I
am loony to thus grieve. In other
cities afar off I have bretheren
with great quantities of dough.
I shall get busy and see if I cannot
persuade them to blow in a little
of the long green on my chances
for this great ly-to-btudesired of
fice. For tho law says that I, Ben
jamin Buying, may not spend
more than a thousand bones or
so. But it does not mention any
limit to what these pals of mine
may spend."
So he arose and brushed off
the ashes and laid aside the sack
cloth. And he put on his street
clothes and his silk plug bonnet.
And ho got busy, and inside of a

week, which interval of time is
equal to seven days, he got re
sponses from San Francisco, in
the land of the Californians,
which was the rendesvouz of the
Forty-niners, and where the great
quake took place several moons
ago. From this land of tho Hittites
Albert Mayer took a chance on
his fellow countryman to the
tune of 2,000 cart wheels. From
the land of the barbarians far to
the east, nigh on to the country
of the Philistines, came a joyful
contribution of 1,000 talents and
many good wishes. Theo. Man
field was the pap-guy in this in
stance. Likewise, the shekels ar
rived in goodly quantity from the
land of Potlatch and in similar
manner from divers other places,
so many that I do not doubt it
would be a waste of time to name
them all. And they said, "Blow it."
And ho blew.
And the SCHEME worked, and
by the meai s of the CASH he had
collected the way was greased so
that he slid into tho CANDIDACY
with much ease, and thus did
beat Brother Jonathan to it. It
was the great BEAT in the land
of Oregon for tho season 1912.
And now after a time an un
appreciative rebel from the home
village of Portland took it upon
himself to protest against this
wild use of CASH. But though the
law was very plain, it seemed
that the rebel was THREE DAYS
too late. Therefore tho man from
the tribe of BENJAMIN is still
safe in his costly candidacy.
BUT, there is a day coming
which the people of this land call

Civlo Duties vs. The Politic
al Game.
(Paid Adv.)
Ida M. Tarbell says one of hor
chief objections to woman suf
rage is "it will take the attention
of women from what I believe to
be their real civic duties by inter.
esting them in tho political game
when they should be concentrat
ing their attention on specific
civio work.
All right minded women want
this work done, but they differ as
to the method. The suffragist
thinks the ballot the panacea for
all ills of society. The anti-suf
fragist believes that the constant
and effective influence now exert
ed by women on legislation and
public affairs is duo to the char
acter and intelligence of the wo
men who advocate good causes
A woman now interested in a
matter of public wellfare is
known to be unselfish and to
have only the interest of her
cause at -heart. The same woman
under woman suffrage is only one
of many political units, with ig
norant and indifferent women
ments arrayed against her sue
cess.
A few women today are ideal
izing the ballot, while what will
really solve juvenile delinquency
intemperance, the white slave
traffic and the social evil is edu
cation, education and more edu
cation in the homes and from the
earliest hour of childhood, and
therein lies the civio duty of wo
men, bigger than any casting of
any ballot, and absorbing enough
to occupy all the women of Ore
gon for all time.
It is to keep the women of this
state out of the "political game
and leave them free for this
greatest of all their duties that
we ask you to vote against the
woman suffrage amendment at
tho coming election.

WHAT A SOCIALIST CANDI
DATE WOULD DO.
Some of His Ideas of What the
County Court Needs.
As the Socialist candidate and
nominee for county commission,
or, I herewith submit to you what
I stand for and what I will stand
by if elected:
Clackamas county needs more
co-operative action and less in
dividual work. Tho county court
should be in closer touch with the
people and the road and bridge
work be done with a view of the
greatest good for the greatest
number. New bridges and improv
ed roads should not be granted lo
satisfy politicians or a particular
few, but with a view to tho ben
efit of the many. And if such ben
efit cannot be shown, they should
not be granted. It is more to tho
interests of tho county to build
GOOD roads to the present brid
ges than to build bridges whore
there are no roads.
It is charged by the Grange and
by others that tho present court
is extravagant and irregular in
its bridge and road work.
This, in my judgement is moro
the fault of tho people than the
court. In order to reform and
remedy, tho people must stand
behind the reforms. If we want
less new bridges and better roads
to old bridges, then we must get
together, co-operate, line up on a
definite, permanent, business
Ifke policy, forget sectional pat
ronage and pull, and work out
that policy.
In the Live Wires at Oregon
City last month there was made
the public statement by a well
known Republican that our pres
ent system of road work was an
almost worthless expenditure of
public money; that this county
had expended hundreds of thous
ands of dollars and we practical
ly had nothing to show for it. In
the opinion of the writer, this is
overdrawn.
If elected to tho county court
I will pledge myself to strictly ob
serve the law in the matter ol
asking for public bids on public
works. I will work for economy in
this work and in every depart
ment of the county; I will favor
road work being done by men who
know how to build roads, and I
will work for the best good of
Clackamas county as a whole
not a few favored sections.
As to bonding, 1 am naturally
opposed to this means of raising
money, but there may arise con
ditions under which it may be
justified. But always two points
should be gravely considered, tho
ability to meet the bonds on pay
day and the amount of good to
tho people as a whole.
Good roads are of vast import
ance to tho people of Clackamas
county, but the roads we need
first are the roads to the farms
that the farm products may find
a market. Let the state roads and
boulevards bo considered after
these.
I believe in tho initiativo and
tho right of petitions and major
ity rule, and if elected as county
commissioner I would uphold
these expressions of the people.
I am asked if I would favor ap
propriating out of the road fund
an equal amount to that voted by
the districts. This is a matter for
serious consideration. If all of
the road districts should make
tho demand tho policy would
bankrupt tho county. I am in fav

good roads, but would not pledge
to a blind policy.
The County Court should bo
the guardian of the county, its
directors, its servants, never its
dictator. Our county's work is
Socialistic, so are our public
schools, our post offices, our
postal savings banks and our
coming parcels post.
Do you think that a man that
sincerely believes in these prin
ciples would be the right kind of
a man to help carry out this
work?
If you think I am qualified for
this office and would give the
county honest, efficient, econom
ical service, I would ask your
support. If you think I would
not then vote for the other man.
