Special Correspondence.
Pauls Valley, l. T., June 2.-An i'm
preston seems to be out that Pauls
Valley is submerged by water and
that we are in deplorable shape
Now, in justice TO our city, we are not
under water, and have a surplus Of
dry ground.
It is true that the Washita river is
on rampage and If it were not for
the railroad running TO Lindsay and
the embankment rather serving as a
levee, we might have some water in
town but as II is there are only three
or FIVE small houses on the very out
skirts OF the town that is bothered
with water.
North OF town next to the river is
washout on the main line OF the San
ia Fe but that don't bother Pauls Val
ley or cause us any anxiety. Pauls
Valley is a very dry town. She is all
right and don't you forget it.

dony, agate and amethyst. All these
objects are rudely polished and shaped
and used on rings, ear pendants, or
necklaces
Now as the tribe does not increase
in number, and the silversmiths have
been constantly at work for over 200
years the question is often asked:
What becomes of all the articles thus
made? A little knowledge of the GUS
toms of the Navahoes soon makes clear
where these valuable go. Unlike many
Indians of the southwest, las the
Havasupais, Wallapais. Mohaves,
Yumas. etc.) the Navahoes do not
cremate. They bury their dead. They
also firmly believe that whatever IS
buried with the dead has a spirit which
accompanies the spirit of the dead per-
son to the world of spirits. Every
thing animate or inanimate has a
spirit, and by burial this spirit is re-
leased, and to a spirit is a real as the
object itself was upon the earth.
Hence they bury food, ornaments of
every kind. clothing. musical instru-
ments, baskets and the like with their
dead, with the thought that as they
were all useful to the Individual whe n
alive, they will be equally useful now
that he is dead. Great warriors al
ways had bow and arrows and hum
dreds of arrow-points buried with
them, or a attic AK and hammer. The
Navahoes are now beginning to realize
that these buried properties are more
useful to the living than TO the dead.
Consequently whenever they frd a
grave that is unknown to them they
proceed to rife it, and then bring the
contents to the nearest Indian trader.
As a result some fine specimens of
ancient work are finding their way
into the market, and many battle
axes, arrow points. spear points, etc +,
are being exhumed.
