Where they are Located and How tit

(M. J. Brown, Courier, Oregon City)
It would almost seem that our
most learned are the most ignorant of
America's wonders. .
. I talked with a county schoolc om-
missioner in New York state regard
ing the antiquities of our country, but
ne was so Hopelessly and embarass
ingly ignorant of them that I permit-
tea mm to change the subject.
In Dunkirk, N. Y., I attended an
illustrated lecture on the ancient won
ders abroad. The lecturer was high in
state educational circles. He had been
abroad and taken photographs of
the wonders in Italy, Greece, Egypt
and otner places, which he showed
with stereoptican slides. At the con
elusion he strongly advised, almost
pleaded, that every student present
"who possibly could, should see at least
part of the old world wonders, as
part of his education.
I ate supper at the same table with
him after the lecture, and I remarked
that he had not shown a picture of
om world wonders that could not be
almost duplicated and surpassed al
home.
He asked where were the Cata
combs like Rome and Syracuse, and
I replied in the mummy caves in Can
yon De bhelly, northeastern Arizona.
He wanted to know where was
there scenery that would equal the
Alps' and I told him to take a trip up
the Rio Grande river from Santa Fe,
and he would find it, and afterward
see the magnificent Grand Can von. i
which put in the background anything
on earth. And as to Pompeii, there
were 15,000 buried cities in New Mex
ico and Arizona. '
Wonders? This country is full of
tnem, lull or the strangest corners
people, scenery and ruins in th;
world and just as old as the oldest
And it seems so strange that morj
oi our people do not see them and
know more of them. Nine out of ten
educated men can tell more of the an
tiquity of the old country than ol
their home. And there is not one o:
our cluster of wonders but what any
man or woman can see with safety,
yet nine-tenths of us know as little of
them as we do of the interior of Af
rica. We all know of the Passion Play-
at Oberammergau, and hundreds of
our people go abroad to see it, but

Every school boy and girl can tell
you of the old history of Salem
(Mass.) witchcrafry, but there is
among the mountains of New Mex
ico today, 1913, a great area where
many a Mexican man and woman are
murdered because they are witches
and can bewitch.
How many of our people know
anything about the extinct cliff dwel
lers? Yet only about twelve miles
from the station of Espanola, on the
narrow gauge railroad of the D. &-
R. G., north of Santa Fe., you can see
the grandest ruins in the world. There
is not a hardship in reaching these
cliffs. The country is ' comparitively
level, and the road follows the little
Santa Clara river. And here on one
cliff you can see the former homes of
ten thousand people, who lived, died,
and whose history perished before a
white man ever dreamed there was
a western continent.
We all know about the great Sa
harah desert abroad, but right here
at home we have one as absolute, and
in spots more deadly, extending from
Idaho into old Mexico, and embracing
parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Ne
vada, Arizona and Texas. And its'
most gruesome part Death Valley,
has an African desert an irrigated
ranch by comparison.

petrified forest, but ask where it is

gate. Get off at Hoi brook, drive six
or seven miles and you reach a forest
of agate, covering hundreds of square
miles an area where wood has turn

look at, yet it is one of the big won
ders of Americt, and a place almost
any man can see if he will.
Zuni, one of the Seven Cities of
Coboli, is one of the most interest
ing sights an American could hope to
see. It is a people of . the past, liv
ing in the today. It is the oldest in
habited place in North America.
There the Indians live in their great
communial home, 1900 of them. They
have lived there hundreds, perhaps
thousands of years, ' and there are
some of the strangest, wildest sights
one could dream of. Zuni is a hard
place to get to, one of the most hid
den of our odd spots, but it can be
made with absolute safety. About 100
the island on an old water-logged
raft and my partner couldn't see why
we went to all this discomfort to see
a fresh water spring.
Cit reminuea me oi tne story oi two
men looking at Niagara for the first
time.
"Isn't it wonderful?" asked one,
as he saw the great volume of water
tumble over.
"Wonderful!" repeated his com
panion (who of course was an Irish
man) "I don't see any wonder. There's
the water and there's the hole."
The wonder with me was how salt
and fresh water could come up from
the same lake. But there are many
things to wonder at in the great dry
land.
There are mud springs to be found
in this country, big wells of liquid
quicksand in localities where one
would not think there was wetness
enough in a hundred sections to ex
tinquish a match. These pits are cov
ered over with polished, baked mud
and you would never dream of their
danger. I broke a hole through the
crust of one and shoved an eight-foot
limb out of sight. Animals know their
danger far better than men. They say
if you once get in you never come out
and 1 believe it.
South fifty miles from a little des
ert station called Grant's, just on the
Arizona line, is a wonderful historic
sight, the rocks where the first com
ers into America wrote their history.
Very few white men have ever seen
these historic rocks. A man at the
station told me it was money thrown
away to make the trip and it would
wear a man out In thirty minutes
you have seen it all and you will not
nave Known what you saw. You can t
read or understand them."
But I had read them and under
stood them long before I ever saw
them, and I had read every scrap of
history I could find of the venture
some men who wrote their names and
missions there. They were written in
Spanish by the early Spaniards who
cut their way through this wilderness
from Mexico to the Rio Grande. And
they did not know there was a Rio
Grande: what there was ahead of
them, or whether they could ever
come back. Just appreciate that Cor
onado. at the head of a band of ad
venturers, lured on by mysterious
legends of gold, marched from the
gulf of California to Missourri in
1540.
The great autograph cliff is call
ed Inscription Rock. There is a spring
there, the first in many miles, and
nearly all pioneers passed it and
camped there.
There are dates there that go back
1580, and there are the names of
Ornate and other men who made early
history, but I looked in vain for the
name of famous Coronado. Whether
he missed this camping place, or
whether he was too busy to- write, 1
do not know. But there are scores of
names of early heros there, and
some have written descriptive letters.
One can't write of such a place and
make it interesting, but he will never
forget the album rocks, once seen
And it DOES seem as if our govern
ment should protect this wonder spot
There is another great wonder of
the far dim days of our country, and
one easily seen, in fact it is in plain
sight of the Santa Fe railroad for
several miles, near McCarthy s a lit
tle telegraph station just over the
New Mexican line in Arizona.
This is the stone river, once a river
of molten lava but now a river that
will never flow. In ancient days it
poured out of Zuni mountain and
flowed for forty miles across the
country a literal river of fire. As
it cooled it rose higher and higher
and today it lays there from ten to
twenty feet above the land. It fill
ed low spots, made lakes and formed
its path for forty miles. It is now
eternal stone black, glass-like lava.
I never saw its source, but I was
told it was a wonderful sight to see,
that it tore out the side of a great
mountain by its force and weight,
and that today you can see once great
torrent where it broke asunder the
Mountain and ran in a great river of
fire down its side to the level coun
try. The river Mas plain today as it
was thousands or. years ago when it
was alive, i nave waiKea lor miles
alongside of it, and some day I hope
to see where it -was vomited from the
earth.
I have seen buttes, solitary and
far from others, rising at least one
hundred feet high, whose tops were
almost solid lava, and not another
trace of lava could be found for miles.
How these hills of solid sand could
have a lava loof I never could guess
out.
These are a few of the strange,
wonderful and historic spots of our
country. There are countless others
all through the southwest.
Would you pass up such wonders,
the most of them to be easily seen,
and tear off to the old world ?
The people of England know more
about our wonderful dry land than
we at home do.
And when you have ' seen these
places, drop over- the Rio Grande into
Mexico, into the inland country where
the railroads have not gone. There
you will find ways and ruins of the
time of Christ: there, you will find
ancient wayside shrines. , old Aztec
ruins, wonderful stone implements.

The Commercial Club,
Dear Sirs:
I have a good many requests for
the names and addresses of growers
of clover seed, with whom farmers
and other buyers wish to come' in
contact for the purpose of purchasing
seed direct As considerable quantities
of clover seed are produced in your
county, I am requesting that you
send me the names and addresses of
the leading growers. I would suggest
that it would be a rather valuable of
fice for the commercial club of each
county seat to keep a list of the
growers of high grade seed each
season on file. I believe this would be
of great assistance to fanners thru
out the state if it were know county
seat commercial clubs had available
such lists.
Thanking you for such assistance
in this matter as you can give me, I

if you can, what would be done next
year.
Working people, as well as those
who live in luxury from the work of
others, have souls and they have opin
ions of salvation and morality, and
these two classes have their eyes on
the organized churches. The Laborer
wants to know if he is worthy of- his
hire. If Christ said "Call no man
Master."
If the wealth of this country was
produced and distributed on the same
principle that education is produced
and distributed it would be impossible
to have classes which live from the
labor of other classes .In fact, we
would not have classes, we would
have just one. class, Americans.
The farmers are a class of workers
who, until the last year or two, have
been in a system of t competition.
Other classes have gone out of com
petition and entered into a system of
co-operation. All these associations
have dumped their expenses on the
farmer and pocket the profits. Th
farmers are going to turn the tables
soon.

Our government has been 40 yearb
trying to regulate the railroads and
for 40 years the railroads have gone
ahead regulating themselves. If the
farmers were half as well organized
as the railroads they would be the
captains of industry and control their
business the same as the railroads.
If the farmer is compelled to pay
these high taxes and the big profits
on what he has to buy, he must have
a price for his produce large enough
meet these expenses and the only way
he can do that is to organize and set
the price and have the supply where
people can get it. Let the demand
find the supply.
We hear people talk about the won
derful progress in America and the
whole world. Yes! Our locomotives
are four times larger and stronger
but freight charges are not less. Pas
senger trains are longer and faster
but not cheaper fare in proportion.
We have more dollars but they come
higher. We have more millionaires,
and also more paupers.
We have made wonderful progress.
We can build a city in a few days and
we can build a gun that will demolish
it in a few seconds. We have the ma
chinery for prosperity and it grinds
out poverty. We, the people, can
build a nation the most powerful the
world ever knew and we can convert
it all into rivers of blood.
Justice used to be a Goddess born
of civilization, that knew not classes
or professions. She was for all men
and men were weighed in her scales
according to their worth to their fel
lowman. But what can she do now for
a class of men who refuse to do any
thing for themselves ?
We farmers are taught to be su
perstitious. We are taught that labor
is honorable, yet we are made fun
of by those who live from our labor
We have been taught that "Thou
shalt not steal," and yet we bow in
reverence to the man who draws his
dividends on watered stock. We are
taught the golden rule and let our
children be born to pay interest and
others are born to collect it .

Last year Congress gave our Agri
cultural Department $50,000 to help
organize the farmer to market his
crops. I suppose they have spent the
money, but they failed to organize a
single local. In the mean time the
Equity has organized thousands of
locals. Are you farmers going to wait
for your Uncle Sam to organize you'
If you can imagine anything mora
comical than a Washington City dude
out here in Oregon in the winter try
ing to organize us hayseeds, you
should work for a numerous maga-
lt does not seem to require any
argument in favor of the first reso
lution when it is remembered that
farmers are taxed to support the navy
ana receive no benefit whatever from
that costly institution. A frog has
as much need for a bottle of hair dve
as we have for a navy; but it is diff
erent with the highways.
We read no end of arguments for
good roads, none of which may be
controverted, yet it seems that the ad
vocates are all interested in saddling
interest bearing bonds for them In
fact the. suspicion is strong that our
interest bearing debt is really the
main object in view by some of these
promoters.
On November 20th Thomas, on the
floor ot the senate, speaking on the
co-operation with Great Britain tj
stop the senseless expense said,
"since 1892 weh ave spent $2,109
912,973.30 on the navy."
Think of it. Over two billions of
dollars in 21 years and we have to
our credit a lot of junk.
He further said "the debts of the
nations are constantly growing. They
nave reached tne huge sum ot more
than thirty bullions of dollars'. The an
nual interest charge upon them is
more than twelve hundred and fifty
millions of dollars. This toll is levied
upon the productive energies of the
people, who carry as well the budget
of the annual expenditures amount
ing to an aggregate of eight thous
and millions more."
So far as regards the navy, we
have no navy on the great lakes, yet
we fear no invasion. Thes ame is true
in regard any other part of our boun
dary. Just suppose that the two bil
lions had been wisely spent on our
roads in twenty-one years, we would
have highways that were useful in
stead of useless scrap iron.
There is no reason why this gov
ernment should loan one class of
people money and not another, yet
that is what is being done.
About 7.000 banks can borrow
money at rates from nothing to two
per cent, yet the farmer, the most
numerous as well as the most impor
tant class, can not borrow a cent
upon any condition, and why? The
banker went to Congress or sent his
"walking delegate" there while the
farmer stayed at home and walked
his legs off looking for someone to
loan him money upon best security
on earth. Will we ever get wise?
Secretary Houston, speaking be
fore the National Grange said that
the farmer did not need nor did he
want, special legislation to obtain
credit. I heartily aree to that Take
the special legislation away. Put us
all on an equal before the cash box
is all that we ask.
The banker, howevere,' wants spec
ial legislation and will get it because
he is Johhny on the spot.
