riculture. These relics comprise ruin
ed houses and villages, extensive ace
quias and other irrigation works, cor
rails containing reservoirs, and frag-
ments of finer pottery than now made
by the Papagos, with well-shaped stone
axes, pestles, mortars, etc. The an
cient villages are much more numer-
GUS and extensive than the modern
Indian, Mexican and American villages
together; and the ancient 7acequias
were much larger than the modern
ditches-that in Arivaca valley, in
Arizona, the chief prehistoric acequia,
being $50 feet wide, raised so as to
flood the whole bottomland, and it was
lined almost continuously with houses.
About a hundred families of Papagos
now occupy the reservation at San
Xavier, nine miles south of Tucson,
and are under the control of an agent
OF the Indian bureau. Though they re-
tain their primitive mode Of house
building, cooking and OF ther domestic
operations, their habits and modes of
thought have SO altered that they are
regarded as alien or semi-alien by the
majority of the tribe. Another quar-
ter of the tribe are located south of
the Rio Altar or it's tributaries in
Mexico, in scattered rancherias or vii
lagos; the remainder, or fully half of
the tribe, are roamers of the desert,
living in peculiar manner which is
neither exactly nomadic nor exactly ag-
rlcultural, but unique combination of
the two modes of life. 1t is this half
of the tribe-the "wild' Papago-that
is specially interesting to the ethnolo-
gist.
The life of the wild" Papago is a
round of migrations and wanderings,
largely in search of the means of sub
sistencs, of which the first and the
second and the third requirements are
water, water, water. During com
siderable part Of the year the migra-
tory Papagoes occupy ranoherias or
nominally permanent home villages;
tributary to each raneheria there are
-several-sometimes but one or. two
temporales or temporary farm domi-
Giles, and many of the families or fam
lily groups have winter domiciles, eth
er for hunting or pottery making, in
the mountains or valleys of Mexico.

A BANANAS STORY,

My home is in Trinidad, an island
in the West Indies, and have relations
living throughout all tropical coun-
tries. I am an important fruit, and a
favorite with most people, as my flesh
is rich, and delightful to the taste. In
Tahiti our family have an acid flavor.
The plant on which I grow is from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and has
from twelve to fifteen long, ruff1ed
leaves. At the end of nine months, a
deep-purple bud appears in the centre
of the leaves; it's constantly lengthen-
ing stem soon pushes it beyond the
leaves, and it hangs down like a huge
heart.
" AS the purple envelopes of the bud
fall off, rows of buds are disclosed,
Each miniature banana has waxen
yellow blossom, with a large projecting
stigma at the end. The female flowers
come first on the stem, and nearer the
end are the smaller male flowers; both
contain much good honey. During ma
turity the rows of male flowers wither
and drop off, while the ovaries of the
female blossoms swell into bananas.
There were several hundred of us on
our bunch, and in three months we
were each about ten inches long, wear.
ing dark-green coat. One fine day
the planter came along with his dom
key cart and proceeded to cut, us
down. .s--.I -~ss - -.
:. 1t was not very long before we were
carefully packed with straw in ship,
and after q few days, landed at a large
port. Here the railroad car awaited
us. Our bunch, with a few others, was
left in a country town, with a grocer.
B During this long trip we ripened, and
changed our green coats for bright
yellow ones; but if we had been left to
ripen on the plant, we should have
been much more pleasing to the taste

soon sold to a lady. She seemed to be

The temperate Is the. summer or
temp porary home Of the Papago, which
he inhabits during the season of
growth and harvest. It is much like
the permanent home, save that it. is
smaller and even more ephemeral in
=chara cter, while around or near it are
the narrow fields that the resident
scultivates. These fields are usually en-
closed by fimsy fences Of mesquite and
cactus. There may be but one field and
that cropped but a single season; more
often there are several fields cultivat-
ed through several successive seasons.
The location of the temperate is de-
termined primarily by the occurrence
Of water, secondarily by the nature of
the soil. ...:~s -. ~. .,
In the vicinity of nearly every town
IN Sonora there is a Papago pueblo,
which is commonly occupied during
the winter and abandoned or left in
charge of one or two families in sum

to. their pueblos.. The men hunt deer
and small game, the latter usually con-
sumed by their families the deer Of
ten taken to Mexican towns and sold
or bartered. Meanwhile the women
dig clay and make pottery, which they.
sell to the Mexicans. Thus the In
dians obtain small quantities of money
and goods, and at the same time ac-
quire something of Mexican customs
and language. The women and some
Of the men attend the church festivals;
their skirts and rebrosas differ in mo
wise from those of the Mexican seno-
ritas, and the men out-herod the Mex
leans in mescal drinking. While the
late winter rains are bringing verdure
toEthe mountains and sending slender
streamlets into the arid valleys, the
tribesmen gradually return to their
rancherias, remove the barriers of
stones and sticks from their door
ways, and await the fit moistening of
the soil at the temporales. At the
proper day they go forth to plow and
plant, and watch the rapid maturing of
the crops. With the harvest time the
temperate is normally abandoned and
the produce transported, to the
rancheria. At about the same time
the fruits Of the sahuaro and other
cacti ripen, and soon afterward the
beans of the mesquite mature, and
these uncultivated crops are in like
manner gathered and stored Then
follows the southwark fitting and a
season of idleness and feasting, to be
in turn succeeded by another migra-
tion when the rains come again. Thus
the life of the Papago is a perpetual
wandering. a

now about 1900 miles apart by rail, the high

cannot be any doubt that these two sections

SALT LAKE ROAD
What Are Its Prospects for Profitable
Business?

My attention has been called 10 an ed-
torial paragraph in your issue of Aug. 18th,
on page 1887, entitled, Union Pacific Bulls
to Los Angeles" You assume that there
would not be enough local business on the
proposed railroad ito pay for axle grease"
I suppose that If the road could develop
a profitable business, the shareholders
would not care whether it was local" or
through. Permit me to call your attention
10 several sources of revenue for the pro-
posed road:
First-We believe that the mineral wealth
known to exist on or near the route of the
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad would
furnish large amount of local freight
traffic. In Southwestern Utah there are
mountains Of iron ore Of the best quFity
enough to furnish all the steel rails and
structural iron that will be REQUIRED on
the Pacific coast for hundred years. Near
by are vast deposits of good coal. Across
the Nevada line are the rich De Ia Mar
gold and silver mines, which are being ex
iensively worked, although more than 100
miles from a railway station. Still further
south are immense deposits of galena. the
owners of which will engage to furnish
2oO carloads per annum for five years. With
In California are large beds of salt. borax
and nitrates. besides rich veins Of gold
which would be worked if mining machinery
could be economically shipped into their
nelghborhood. Midway between Salt Lake
