A Visit to the Ancient Cliff Dwel
lers Rulna of the Puye.
(By M. J. Brown.) '
Facing the blazing sun I sat in
the front door of a Cliff Dweler's
ancient home for an hour, and I
doubt if I ever moved.
It was the fourth story of
homes on the wonderful I'uye
Cliffs in the Sanla Clara canyon. I
sat in the doorway, with my legs
hanging down and looked across
the canyon and just wondered,
imagined and thought.
After a while the perspiration
trickled down from under my hat
and I came back to Taft's time
jumped from hundreds of years
ago to A. D. 1912, and realized it
was hot.
1 crawled back into the little
home of a forgotten day and fill
ed my pipe. The scratch of the
match in the tufa walls was a
false note, and when I tried to
whistle, 1 just couldn't. I tossed
a stone down the cliff and timed it
with my watch, to get the distanci
and when it struck the sound
seemed almost a sacrilege in this
city of silence and mystery.
Out there under the blazing sun
of today, in that desert country,
where coyotes go mad for water,
and the big, black vultures hunt
for food, are tno most wonderful
and mysterious ruins of this con
tinent ruins of a people of which
there is no history, monunienU
of a civilization that was extinct
before the white inan ever saw
America.
And when one looks at the
ruins of those unknown people,
the old witchery and mystery of
me lar dim ages get into his blood
they fascinate. You look at
these hundreds of hives that
were once the homes of human
beings, and it seems as if the
great white walls must speak and
leu wnose tno people were, when
co they came and whither they
went.
But tho walls and homes are
silent
But there it is, a picture now of
the unknown past.
Many of the houses once had an
opening at the back, but which
were afterward walled up and ce
mented over. A Smithsonian man
told me that there were bodies
walled in these places, that they
were graves. It Is plain to be seen
where the opening once was, but
with a great cemetery on top of
the mesa I cannot understand why
they should use a part of their
congested tenementes for graves.
On, but I would like to have
used a pick for 30 minutes. But
thero are rigid government prohi
bitions and one doesn't care to
lake the chances. If you found a
bushel of bones or relics it would
be difficult to get them out. The
forest rangers have a right to
hold you up and search you, and
the little railroad town on the
narrow gauge is the only way out
from these ruins, ami it would be
very dangerous to take any relics
there. 1 carried out a few bits I
found, but they went out under
my hat. In the Courier's front
window you will see some bits of
wizened corn ears and coos. These

anyone is welcome to. There are
almost car loads at the foot of
these cliffs. And the finger and
hand bones well, I refuse to
testify, on the ground that I
might incriminate myself.
You won't find much history of
the cliff dwellers, for there is
none, and I suppose this is why
so deplorably few of we Ameri
cans Know anything about these
prehistoric people. Jiut if you will
take a trip down to the Jamez
plateau, and see these wonderful
ruins, you will have been taught
a chapter in history you will nev
er forget.
Nobody knows where these
people came from or where they
disappeared to. The I'uenio Indi
ans, who lived in this vicinity
long before Columbus' time have
no history or legend of the people
of these cliffs. They lived there
in thousands once upon a tune.
and then they vanished, and there
is absolutely nothing to indicate
that there was a calamity, plag
ue or general exodus. All indicat
es a slow order of extermination,
nothing to indicate haste or dis
aster.
How these thousands of people
could have lived in this barren,
rainless waste is a puzzle, but
perhaps in ttie age or these cave
men conditions were different.

Editor Courier:
"Mental attitude is a great
thing," declares the writer of a
somewhat facetious creed, that
appeared November 8th in the
Courier. He has the enthusiasm of
a recent convert for his theory,
and goes so far as to conclude
that if Oregonians will only coup
le this "mental attitude" with
physical culture they may devel
op a line pnysique ana live a nun
dred years.
Your readers, perhaps, enjoy
ed it as a joke and then dismiss
ed from mind, or possibly retain
ed a lingering impression that
"there might be something in it."
If this is all tho letter did it was
harmless.
But there's a chance it lodged
in the readers' minds a number
of false impressions, and so I
ask you for space to correct them.
First, the writer of the letter
vaguely associated the practice of,
Christian Scientists with his the
ory about "mental attitude" then
he associated unnsiian science
with an entirely different system
of thinking, which, he says, "was
practiced by tho Egyptians and
other races," who projected
their astral bodies into Space
where they now roam."
The teachings of Christian
Science are diametrically opposed
cause they simplify the matter
for him, enabling him to swing
nis careless and often wrong
menial altitudes around into al
ignment with the spiritual atti
tude indicated in the Bible, help
ing him to "fight the good fight,"
so that he can finally say, with
the Psalmist, "Bless the Lord, Oh
my soul Who forgiveth all thine
iniquities; who healeth all thy di
seases: who redeemeth thy life
from destruction; so that thy

GREAT "PEACE"
JOHN STARK'S WAY OF LOOK'
INQ AT IT.
Points on Which he and Presi
dent Taft Disagree.
Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10, a
man was seen turning the corner
of Eigth and Main streets walk
ing in a quiet waynorthward. He
was carrying a package suspend
ed from his shoulder, and when
he nearly reached Ninth he was
overtaken by a young man and
presently turned back only to face
a well fed "gardeen of the law"
who evidently walked him to the
jail. An eye witness, having seen
similar proceedings, concluded
the stranger m our gaits was be
ing "detained" because he was
apparently a working man
which, it seems, is a crime in the
unwritten law of good society a
workingman out of a job, for he
had a roll of blankets as circum
stantial evidence of guilt'. Grant
ing tho above surmise correct, I
would ask our local authorities if
it is unlawful to be possessed of
a ron or blankets, or if it is un
lawful to walk the streets carry
ing the same or in short, what
was the offence of this man if it
was other than poverty?

How came they there? Were they

There is an opening about two
feet wide and three feet high. A

door is usually a little opening,

place, a chimney or anything that
served Tor a stove, anil tliis indi
cates the people were primitive.
Fires were built on the floors of
the homes, and the smoke is yet
plainly visible on I he roofs and
side walls of the dwellings.
Nearly, all the caves have one
main room, eight or ten feet
across, round and arched roofs.
And many have smaller rooms ad
joining, back into the rock moun

have little nilches from I tin size

of a hand. I suppose these were
the handy places.
Nearly every home is plastered,

layers of plaster. It is put on as

Where they got. the cement, and
they used great quantities of it,
no one can tell.
In one place, where a wall of
stone was laid, there as plain as
if moulded yesterday, is the full
impression of a human hand in
the cement. I laid my band in the
mold and it fitted like a glove. I
wondered if these men were about

hook, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures," by Mrs.
Kddy.
As for tho mental attitude of
Christian Scientists, tho writer
entirely right in his observation
that they aro a happy and con
tented class of people. Hut they
would not bo if they were so ex
travapant as to "say that to bo
sick is tho greatest sin in the
world" as the writer affirms
they do. "Science and Health,"
teaches (page 411, line 20.) that
"the procuring cause and foun
dation of all sickness is fear, ig
norance, or sin." It will be seen
I hat Christian Science associates
sin and desease only in the same
degree that tliey aro associated in
the Jtible (Cf. John 5:U.) The
writer is also mistaken in stating
mat. wun tno Lnristian Scientists
there is "no effort about it"
that is. making "troubles vanish"
and reaching "a state of perfection."
To stale the case more accur
ately, the typical Christian Scien
tist is merely engaged in the ex
ercise of practical, genuino piety.
He has ingenuously accepted the
injunction of tho Master, "Be ye
therefore perfect," as addressed
directly to himself, and courag
eously commits himself to its re
alization though often with fear
and trembling; and he enjoys the
teachings of Christian Science be
