 s The dwellings were of different sizes, sbut the largest were not more than ~thirty by one hundred and fifty feet; sand, while the roofs and a portion of ...the walls had fallen, the parts stand jng in some of the caves indicated height of three stories. Some were aoniy two stories and others but single ssstory. The dwellings were divided sinto rooms by stone and wood parti- stions. A number of the rooms were <fairly we'll preserved, had small loop 5hole windows, but no outer doors. Tho buildings had doubtless been entered

New Light on Prehistoric Peoples

Important Discoveries Recently Made in Southern Utah-Homes and Habits of -Dweners-keminders of
 ft Fierce Wars of ts.f Buried Past.
[coPYRIGHr. lse4.l

The researches of no explorer during the past decade have brought to light more valuable relics of prehistoric America or met with more success than has crowned the work of an expedition just returned from the San Juan coun- try, that comparatively narrow strip of mountainous territory bordering on the north of the grand canyon of the Col orado in southeastern Utah and the southwestern portion of Colorado. The expedition was organized at Bluff City, Utah, by c. B. Lang, young student of Pittsburgh, Pa., and wasN@omposed of Lang, J. B. Nelson and Robert Allen. the latter two being guides and pros- pectors whose lives have been spent in that district. Prof. Lang has returned with no less than nine mummifed remains or dessicated bodies of human beings, undoubtedly those of people who existed before or were closely al- lied to the prehistoric cliff-dwellers of this section. The expedition also dis covered more than two hundred speci- mems of articles of domestic and per sonal use of those past and gone people that renders the collection a vast treas- ury of information relative to the pri- vate life of these ancient Americans.
 The discoveries made by the expedi- tion were In what was known as Allen canyon, a narrow gorge branching off the grand canyon of the Colorado and nearly eight thousand feet above the sea level, in San Juan county, Utah. Cliffs and peaks of pink, vermilion, brown, white and yellow, rising In Hedges and breaking Into tier above tier, story above story, with interven- ing slopes covered with talus; the walls recessed with large amphitheaters, buttressed with huge spurs and deco rated with towers and pinnacles, form the sides of Allen canyon and make 1t at once one of the grandest bits of sub- lime scenery of the grand canyon dis trict. Amid such scenery, with snow capped peaks above them and rank semi-tropica1 verdure at their feet, Prof. Lang and his companions spent all of the months of February anf

 "What have you got to pay him for?" "For my rent"

peas, that is, the fruit. Vines have, in
many instances, been very fine, but
whether early or late planted the yield
of peas has been light no matter what
the variety planted. We have saved,
and nave seen others save, some very
fine pea vine hay. The leaves have
mostly fallen from the vines, but the
stem is where the.great value lies, and
it Is astonishing how stock love and
will thrive on them. We put them in
our lots by the wagon loads green, for
all our stock, hogs included, and they
completely devour them. 1t takes at
this season of the yer three or four
days to cure them where the stem is
large, as in the Wonderful. We have
the earth entirely covered by this
