Another question which is agitating
the party of returned explorers is, why
eastern institutions are allowed to mo-
nopolize the country down there and
carry off each year valuable relics,
which might just as well belong to the
historical collections of New Mexico or
Colorado.
In Chaco canon the New York histor-
ical museum has begun systematic and
scientific excavations, which have al
ready more than paid them for the
money invested. They sent three car
loads of stuff east last year, and a few
weeks ago excavated a mummy with
$50, 900 worth of turquois wrapped
around it. They have seven years work
in sight now and have several men to
whom they pay large salaries to over
look the work.
A PREHISTORIC ROAD.
when we were at Aztec, in that part
of the country filled with ruins which
has been most visited" DR.. Cobern said,
W discovered one indication Of the
great age of the ruins, which had been
hitherto overlooked. 1t was a road, I'M
ming as straight as any modern engin-
eer could have run it, from the great
cliff palace to the stone quarries miles
away. This path IA about so feet wide,
and as clearly defined as a Denver
street. From it's surface every obstruc-
ton, every stone as large as a walnut,
had been cleared aWay-thrown to one
side. The road leads across the valley,
straight up the side of the mesa, and
across it. The road descends the other
side to the quarries, where were stones
fresh cut, ready to be taken over to the
buildings. But it has been so long since
that road was used that on the side Of
the mesa the river has changed it's
course, and the valley has been worn
away, so that for a space the road is
lost, reappearing a considerable dis
lance beyond the point at which it van
ishes. That geological change must
have taken an immense stretch of time.
Right in the center of this road we
found a cedar tree 80 inches in diameter.
Those cedar grow very slowly, particu-
larly in that arid climate, so that it
may have been 500 years, alSl it may
have been longer, since that tree took
root, and there Is no telling how long
the road had been deserted before the
seeding found a footing in it's hard
beaten surface. We brought sections of
the tree home. The cedar in this eli
mate grows so slowly that a cross Sec
ton will have to be polished and the
rings counted under a microscope be-
fore we can determine it's e
FINE BUILDINGS ON THE MESA.
But this ruin at Aztec was far
younger than others that I saw. In
those houses the wood is still in place
as floor beams and supporting the
roofs; in fact, the timbers are in such
good shape that the settlers have taken
them out and are using them. On the
Montezuma mesas we found a house
made of finer stone than that at Aztec,
blocks as large as those used in a
stone house now, dressed on all faces
and set up accurately, tier on tier, never
varying a hairs breadth. In this house
every trace of wood had disappeared"

The st. Louis Transit Company may
find itself without a franchise unless it
gives in to it's striking employees. 1t is
no wonder that capitalists are becoming
more and more shy to invest in enter
prises whose success Is more or less de-
pendent upon the employment of a
large number Of men. Both the COM
and the strikers at st. Louis have
by this time lost more in dollars and
cents than all the privileges they are
.contending for are worth.

A significant circumstance in connec-
ton with the capitol dedication was the
fact that 500, 900 of the old capitol build
ing bonds were paid off the same day
that the capitol was dedicated. A fact
like this speaks more e%loquently for the
sound financial condition of New Mexi-
co under this Republican administra-
ton than a whole page of arguments
to refute the irresponsible statements
Of Democratic sheets.

The medical society of New Mexico is
an organization that should be fostered
and encouraged. 1t can do much in a
professional way to spread the knowl-
edge of the benefits that invalids can
derive from New Mexico climate. Some
of the papers read at it's gatherings, es-
pecially those referring to climate and
the cure of tuberculosis, should be
printed in medical journals and issued
in pamphlet form.

Reports from all parts of the terri
tory are very encouraging to the Re-
publicans. AS the time for the Novem-
Der election approaches the chances of
the Democrats to carry more than
three counties this fall grow simmer.
This is as it should be, for the Repub-
lican territorial and county administra-
lions have been clean and competent,
and there is no reason for changing the
political complexion Of the territory at
his time.

The Democratic press of the country
fears that it will be bought by the Re-
publican party. 1t claims that the Re-
publicans will have a campaign fund of
at least $50, 900, 900. and with that
mount Democratic newspapers are to
be bought up. This Is rather nice for
the Democratic publishers, and they
must feel like the ugly old maid who
feared that she would be kissed by a
handsome young man.

Reports to Census Supervisor Pedro
Sanchez show that the work of taking
the census of New Mexico is progress
ing without any hitch or trouble. There
may be some disappointment when the
final result is announced, for conmu-
mites are apt to overestimate their pop
ulation and their wealth, and at this
time of the year many persons leave
the territory on visits to other parts or
to work in Colorado, Texas or Arizona.

ANTIQUITY OF MAN
1t Is to Be Determined By Research
es to Be Made In New
Mexico.
DR.. COBERN'S EXPEDITION
Excavations Made In Ohaco Canon, San
Juan %Oounty-An Ancient Road Near
Astec-Fine Buildings On the
Montezuma Mesa.

The antiquity of man in America is
to be discovered through geological
formations in New Mexico.
Steadily, though very slowly, there ls
being pieced out a chain of evidence to
prove that mar lived in what is now
New Mexico in the glacial or early post
glacial era. How many thousands of
years ago that is will be subject for dis
cussion among biologists for years to
come. At present scientific men are con
tent in their belief that the era will
soon be known.
AN EXPLORING PARTY.
Rev. Camden Cobern, Prof. T. e. Cut
Ter. geologist; Capt. Cecil Deane, of the
Colorado state historical society, and
Rev. j. c. Gullette have for the past
five weeks constituted an exploring
party among the ruins of the cliff and
mesa jewellers of New Mexico.
DR.. Cobern and Professor Cutler
started out somewhat skeptical of
claims made that the civilization of the
new region dated further back than 500
years. At least, they doubted if they
would find any evidence of it. The
Mancos ruins do not show it, but should
it be proved by discoveries in New
Mexico the conclusions reached would
also apply to the Mancos ruins.
MANY FAKE CLEWS.
The party started out to run down
supposed clews from many sources,
purporting to lead directly to places
where We're glacial evidences combined
with traces of human habitation. Fully
a dozen of these leads, false ones they
proved to be, We're followed out. Had
any former dwelling places been found
buried in lava or covered over with
boulders showing the coveted glacial
marks and lines, the scientific discovery
of he century, according to DR.. Co
bern, already widely known for his ar
chaeologic research, would have been
made. AS it is, they feel they have rea-
son to be pleased with themselves be-
cause of two discoveries.
ONLY A PIECE OF WOOD.
One was only a piece of wood, the
other a deposit showing traces of hui
man life, which, to the uninitiated,
seems unimportant. But it was a de-
post extending Is feet below the foun-
dation of a dwelling, and proved that
the dwelling, itself of great antiquity,
had been built upon ruins that could
only have been created in at least a
century of time, perhaps a great deal
more. The finding Of the wood is of in

AN FIND.

II had been looking for wood" ex-
planned DR.. Cobern. I'm all those miles
of ruins l had not found a trace Of tim
Der. l searched and searched, and final
ly settled on one of two conclusions
either those people had used no timber
or they lived longer ago than I believed.
IF they used no wood in their roofings
or for pillars, they were strange indeed,
different from all others of whom we
have trace. l had about concluded such
to be the case, for it would take an
enormous lapse of time for it all to have
so completely disappeared. I later dis
covered a piece of wood-one piece in
all those ruins. Dc you wonder we 0 n
clude that we are justified in searching
for glacial %habitation? That one piece
I found in the Montezuma mesa. 1t was
a log, used as a column or post at the
corner of a dwelling, evidently as a
supporting column, and it has been pre-
served to Us because it was so inclosed
by stone and mortar as to be absolutely
watertight, and I might also say air
tight.
1T was s feet long and was surround
ed by three sides of stones. 1t was i'm
mediately incased with a layer Of CO.
ment or mortar, and %curiously enough
1t had so shrunk in size that an inch of
space was found between it and what
at some time was virtually a mold Of
the cement"
INTERESTING INCIDENTS.
The party visited the Enchanted me-
sa, reached from Laguna. They were
the third party of explorers to scale the
900 feet Of perpendicular wall. and on
the top DR.. Cobern found a bit of pot
terry. He does not. however, take the
find as an indication that the mesa was
aver a dwelling place.
THE ACOMA LEGEND.
The legend is that the Acoma Indians
now living at Acoma, also a mesa
dwelling. used to live IN the Enchanted
mesa, but that n day, when all the
men and most of the women, were in |
valley tending their f1ocks a bolt
Of lightning destroyed the ladder. so !
hat they could never get back again. |
On the mesa were left a few old wom-
m, who, of course, 500 persisted. The F,

A HUGUENOT ASSOCIATION.
Meeting Called to Organize One This
Afternoon.

A meeting will be held at o'clock this
afternoon in the Sunday School building
of the Independent Presbyterian Church
to hear from Rev. Jean Kantz d'Oriol, a
French Huguenot minister, upon the sub
ject of the evangelical work of the HUI
guenot Church in France. An account
of this work and of Mr.. d'Oriol's mis-
sion was given in Mondays Morning
News.
1t is proposed to form an association in
Savannah, similar to those already form
ed in other cities of the United States, for
the purpose of aiding in this work. The
association is to be interdenominational,
and a cordial invitation is addressed to
all who take any interest in France and
her people.
THE cause" said Mr.. d'Oriol yesterday,
Should appeal to all who have Hugue-
nots among their ancestors, to all who
know the glorious history of the Hugue-
nots and admire their faith, courage and
patience, and to all who remember that
the French fell by the side of the Ameri-
cans to build this great republic.
''In spite of centuries of persecution,
which reduced them to a mere handful,
the Huguenots left in France have not
only kept their ground, but made import
ant advance. Their social, moral and re-
ligious influence is greater than it has
ever been in this century; they are the
bulwark of republican institutions; in the
Dreyfus trial they have been fighting the
hardest for the triumph of truth and
justice. For the last thirty-five years
every struggle against the social evils
of France have been their work. They
are striving 10 give to their countrymen,
who now demand it, the high moral and
religious education which built up the
Huguenot character. Great numbers
among the French are turning to them
for help and instruction. Within the last
few months in two departments of
France forty-five non-Protestant COM
munitiee have besought the Huguenot
Church for regular services and churches
The needs are fast outgrowing the re-
sources, yet to this part of their work
alone the Huguenots give annually $125,-
600"
Mr.. d'Oriol thinks that Savannah, with
its many citizens of HqguenOt descent
and it's memories of the revolution, in
which the French aided so CALAMITY,
should readily manifest an interest in the
work which he desires to present.

WILL HOLD FAIR IN THE PARK.


The Masonic Fair will not be held in
tended it should be, but will be given in
a building especially erected for the pur-
pose ir the northwest corner of the Park
Extension. This determination was reach
et several days ago, when it was seen
that the Guards Hall would not be large
enough TO accommodate the booths which
were to be put in, and still allow space
for dancing and supper rooms, etc.
Other sites were discussed for some
time as being more or less available but
il was finally decided that all things TAX
on into consideration, the Park Extension
offers the greatest number of advantages.
Permission has been secured from the
militia and from the city, and work on
the building will be commenced this
morning by Mr.. Henry Bartlett, who was
given the contract for its erection.
The building will have a floor space Of
100 by 120 feet, which will be sub-divided
into a supper room, a dancing hall and
hall that will contain the booths, where
the fair proper win be held. The build
ings, 1t is expected, viii be finished within
the next ten days
Meantime the other work of the fair is
going forward rapidly, considerably over
AGO of the books on the various articles
that have been donated have already been
disposed of, while others are going out
daily. The various committees, and work
ers for the different booths have been or
ganized, oil except two committees, which
will be perfected in few days The la
dies who have interested themselves in the
work have taken hold with a vim. The
fair will undoubtedly be a huge success,
and no small part of the credit for it will
be the portion of the ladies'.
As the result of the excellent work of
the Donation Committee gifts are being
received daily both from merchants in the
city and from houses in other cities A
meeting of the ladies of Clinton Lodge
will be held at the De Soto tomorrow
afternoon at 4 O'clock
