TRAINED
I
THINK it wist- to train our domes to tliink of pleasant things,
of works of iirt mill i-lnss pomes, fair lirides and wedding
rinf.'s. WIh'u some old gossip conies aloni; to spring a low down
tali', I think aliont the peaks of son;, where scandals don't pre
vail. All tlioiifilit "s a lialiit more or less, as in our rroove we trot,
and if we think ahout distress, distress will he our lot; and if
our thoughts are full of fear, instead of hope and plee, they'll
make our hrief existence here a painful thine to sec. When I fall
sick of mumps or j.'out, my thoughts are dark as sin, until I force
the dark ones out. ai.d let the bright ones in ; and I have found this
can he done, however (-rent the pain ; when one is thinking of the
sun he doesn't think of rain. When one is- thinking of the hills
where .sunshine pies to waste, his thoughts are lifted from the
pills that have a mildewed taste. I try to think that life is good,
however harsh it seems, that all the troubles I've withstood were
nicrily seen in dreams; anil, thinking thus, I find that life is wool
and two yards wide, and I invite my aunt and wife to take u
flivver ride.

level of the mountain valley in which
lies the little village of Kun Juan du
Tootlluiacan, the name of which
means in the Aztec toiiKUc, "City of
the (iods."
The Mexican government has ap
propriated funds for this work of ex
cavation which is In charge of Man
uel flfimin, director of anthopoloy of
the department of riffi'l?ultim. The
government hopes eventually to malt-.'

Mexico.
. UominaUnK tlio area are the two
pyramids, one to the Sun atid ill-?
other to the Moon, which for centu
ries have defied the efforts of arch j-
oloKlsts and historians to trace their
orinin. The pyramid to the moon Is
still untouched, retaining an appear
ance to the lay eyo of a luii;e mound
of irregular shape, overgrown with
KrasH and rulihinh,
Senor (iamio says the city now
under excavation at one time covered
an area of 13. square miles with n
population of more, than , 1 00,000. Its
builders are unknown to history, hut
j Senor Onmlo believes they were a
portion or an Indian tribe which
wandered Into Mexico from the north
and finding the valley fruitful and the
climate salubrious, decided to settle
inu presence or voieamc i ock bultilinK that go with the property
one of the top strata covering the -aml roiltain enough lumber to erect
ruins indicates that one of the nearby !Hi,P(ls anrt buildings that will accom
mountalns erupted and Inundated tho,mnf1uto. tourlKts for mnnv vears to
city with lava.
Entry to the grounds is made fac
ing the "Temple to the C.oddess of
the Winds." which , was I discovered
less than a year ago, when erosion un
covered well defined walls and deco
rations typically Indian anil Kgyptlnn
in their conception. This temple has
now been dug out anil reconstructed
on the exterior. The Inside 1h reach
ed at present through a series of sub
terranean passages. Inside the visitor
treads over nuiHsive stairs with or
nate decorations of huge serpents
with obsidian eyes and grotesque
conceptions reminiscent of Egyptian
art. The work of interior excava
tion and reconstruction is far from
complete.'
Ftetween this temple and the pyra
mid to the Sun is a stretch of one
iuarter of a mile which In at inter
vals pierced by tho shafts of the dig
gers and In some places by the un
covered remains of a house or public
hfitidtng'.wilh the paint still bright
and the frescoes as intact its the day
they were placed there several thous
ands of years ago.
Itetween the two pyramids is a well
defined plaza on one side of which a
street has been uncovered known as
the "Path of the Dead." KtauklnK
I he place are hu minis of mounds,
which Senor (iamio assured the cor
respondent contained cither houses or
temples.
Immense stores of valuable afcheo-
logical material have been taken from
t he various excavations. Human
bones, terra cntta heads, obsidian
knivt-s. arrowheads, children's toys of
clay, cooking utensils. Incense burners
and crude musical Inst rumctits form
the bulk of the. 1'l.nd anil all are pre
served in a museum which has just
been erected on the grounds.
The two pyramids, however, are
the dominant structures of the city.
The pyramid to the Sun measures
Tti I x?l! 1 leet at t he base and is 21 ti
feet high, narrowing to a level sum
mit. I'nlike the pyramids of Egypt with
Kh huge Jutting blocks of stone, form
ing an endless Mail's to the top, the
Sun pyramid 1s built with a smooth
surface in five distinct tiers. Ascent
Is made by steps built into the side
:ind to the uninitiated the undertak
ing is almost perilous because of the
steeps incline with no supporting
balustrade. It dirfers from its
Egyptian counterparts also in the re
spect that It contains no interior pas
sages or rooms.
The pyramid of the Moon is smaller
with a base measuring about Mlx426
feet. It rises liil feet with a crown
ing platform about 1 9 feet square.
In connection v it h his super Irdoii
of tho excavations Senor (iamio has
interested himself in t he Indian life
of the valley and onV of his first
efforts has been to establish schools
with special attention paid to' manual
training.
Originally, the valley contained
Mctfon, ,

200,000 Indians, but these had been
reduced to 20,000 in colonial days and
now number Icjjh than 8000. They
earn but a poor living when crops are
Rood lyid when there are failures
starvation and widespread death en
sue.
Croups of Indians at pottery mak
Jug, a new industry in the valley, were
evidence that a portion at least of
Senor amio s program is being ear
l ied out... v .! (..

To tie Kditor:
Apropoa of ihe coming of t:pring,
the Auto Camp and Play (I round
fever has broken out with renewed
energy and promises o become a real
experience in which some fatalities
may he recorded.
A committee visited the Pacific &
Kastern grounds on Monday, also the
Phlpps property on N. Itiverside and
made a careful survey of the future
poHslhllitles nnd the present one.s. of
each location anil the conclusion was
unanimous that the 1'hlpps plaie was
practically ready for occupancy as a
camp ground, while the Pacific &
Kastern coidd not be ready for some
months. There is not one attractive
feature here for a park play grnuudj
or auto tramp. And there will he an
extra cost of buying a strip of Und
between tho Nat and Main street for
an entrance to this .property which
lies west of Hear creek, that will
have to be UHed now for the camp
grounds, this would give an entrance
off Riverside to the grounds. This
extra expense would put in shape and
pay a care-taker for more than U
year. The Phipps property is lo?ated
on the Pacific Highway within, walk
ing distance of the business section
and theaters.
It has an 8-room house with all
modern conveniences, nnd many out-
come. Tho lay and quality or this
land is superior to that of the Pa
cific & Eastern, because there Me
sloping bluffs and an. abundance, of
splendid shade trees, all . accessible
from the highway, a splendid yaid,
suitable for a play ground, with plenty
of shade and as has already teen
suggested, there are no. doubt a t;r-'M
many citizens who would be willing to
donate their services one, day to the
necessary work of preparing the
grounds for immediate use, in less
than a week's time.
The writer Knows it to be a fact
that the services of n most excellent
man and his wife, who have a knowl
edge -of landscape gardening, have
hiiXjuiiuroxpilchai.aiid possess the
happy faculty of meeting strangers,
who would be a most splendid acqui
sition near a play ground, could be
secured tth'tto'the place at oce and
be of grat assistance ill planning
the, Park (irounids If the'ity council
hiW tlt.to sm'Mier improve it;. ;?
jfijn haying ground for a puhil'' pat,H
t tH ijtit' a city$ purpose, or at least
should not ho,. 'to purchase a location
that is specially meant to benefit or
enhance the values of any one person
or locality. Instead, it should he
purchased with the thought of bene
fitting the whole city and be of spec
ial value for the purpose for which It
is Intended.
Again, the Phipps property of from
III to In acres has been offered the
city for $ Hi, 000 at ti pel' cent, nothing
down and 20 years in which to pay
for it, an acceptance of same at any
time. While the Pacific & Eastern
property has an acreajje of 1 ! acres
at $20,000, $.1000 down, fl years for
payment and balance at 0 per cent, as
Jwell as the removal of two or three
houses thereon, and the expense oi
planting trees, shrubbery and instal
ling modern conveniences in the brick
building that is to be retained on the
lot.
A cure ful survey of the two proper
ties in question will con vim e any
fair minded person of the feasibility
of buying the Phipps property. Ktrst.
because the city has been given 5
acres by Mr. W. A. Phipps. that could
be easily connected with this prop
erty. U Is also on the highway.
Second, the Phipps property is a
good business proposition and the city
prides itself on its guoil business ad
ministration. Third, tho Phipps in
terests own a driveway from Hit
property in question on the West Pnv
of Hear Creek back of the Nat to
tho Matn street bridge 4th the Phipps
property is practically ready for oc
cupancy at once, and the hind In
question Is nil good, with some lyinp
along the creek ast to the Pael.'ic
Eastern tracttl which is umb r itl
tlvatlon, and is available to '.he city
as an income, to help pay p.n K i x-
