The Coconino sun., 1901-12-28

The sun god has a number of dangerous enemies hostile dei- ties-among whom the most pow erful is the Great Plumed Snake. This serpent divinity is of an cient Aztec origin, and was wor- shiped all over Mexico and Cen tral America in prehistoric times. He was very troublesome in those days, it appears; and on one occasion brought about a deluge which flooded the valley in which the ancestors of the Moki dwelt. At length he was ap- .peased by the sacrifice of the son and daughter of the chief of the town; but afterwards he afflicted the people in other ways. so that they were obliged to migrate northward to Arizona.
 The Great Plumed Snake fig ures importantly in the Christi mas mystery play, with a huge

 When the solar orb sinks at nightfall into that notch it has reached it's most distant point on the horizon, and the Dist day of December has arrived. Formal notice of the fact is given by the sun priest, and announcement is made of a general rejoicing Various divinities, dressed in strange costumes will appear in the town. and the occasion will be signalized by d mystery play, symbolizing the struggle of the sun god against the powerful devils which try to keep him back and prevent him from re- turning to the north.

The United States bureau of ethnology has been making a special study of Christmas in America, and one surprising fact ascertained is that many of the aboriginal tribes on this con tinent. long before Columbus landed, were accustomed to eel ebrate festivals corresponding to that of Yuletide. Indeed, they pursue the practice even to the

Eventually however, the serpent divinity is appeased with prayers and offerings of sa- cred meal, and the performance winds up with combat between the sun god Represented by man with round shield painted to look like the sum and a mum Der of devils in suitable costumes who try to push Santa Claus back and hinder him from start ing northward toward the land of the Moki. Eventually, of course, he wins the fight.

 According to Commissioner Hermann, of the general land of flee, the loss sustained in one of the last notable fires amounted to more than enough to cover fifty years appropriations for the administration of forestry. Another consideration is that pine lands after having been de- nuded of their trees, are usually worthless for purposes of agri culture.
