Food for reflection is found in the
following paragraph from the Fort
Worth Record The attorney gen
eral of Texas has practically disfran-
chised Inc voters in unufsantzeti
counties by decision that they can
have no voice in state or district con
ventions. aud now comes the supreme
court of Arkansas and declares that
the poll tax as means Of securing
the right to vote is unconstitutional
Whittier are We drifting?" There
may be constitutional right for re-
strieting the ballot in general cleo
tons, but when law undertakes TO
regulate the methods by which po-
litical parties shall name its nomi-
nees is time TO stop and think a
little.

Speaking of an incident in that
city the Houston Post says: TO
think that two boys can fight for
fifteen minutes in front of the lead
ing hotel of the city, and carry their
battle even across the street, caus-
ing 200 wildly interested spectators
to blockade the sidewalks and even
interfere with traffic in the center of
the street, and not policeman near
enough in all that time to preserve
order 1t is no wonder that robbers
can enter homes in the residence dis
trict in daylight when such things
can occur at high noon in the very
heart of the city. Officers are
largely what public influence makes
them. The Post should remember
this and criticise accordingly

The Shakespeare Lesson.

Question for the Shakespeare les
son May /:
Twelfth Night, Act 4,
Has Olivia sent again for Viola,
or is this the sending referred to in
Act 3, Scene 4?
Might this not explain the absence
of the Clown from the comic parts
OF Act 8?
DO you notice a difference in the
way Viola and Sebastian speak to
the Clown?
When does the Clown use irony?
When is his triple negative?
Transpose II am afraid" etc, TO
make it clearer.
Why does Sebastian call the Clown
a foolish Greek?
What means after fourteen years
purchase"
Whom did Sir Andrew. Sir Toby
and Fabian take Sebastian for?
Under that impression do you
think Sir Andrew aimed a blow at
him?
Why did the Clown say, Il would
not be in some of your coats for
two-pence?'
Why do YOU think the Clown re-
ports the attack to olivia?
What means he started one poor
heart of mine in thee?"
Why was it not necessary to dis
guise the Clown as a curate?
What is his first speech as the
curate?
How does the Clown show Malvo-
Ito that he is mistaken about being
in the dark?
What was the doctrine taught by
| Pythagoras in regard to the soul?
Why does not Malvolio approve
this doctrine?
Explain NAY, l am for all
waters"
Why did Sir Toby wish to be rid
of the scheme against Malvolio?
When does the Clown resume the
| character of a curate?
! Give a synopsis of Sebastian's so
| liloquy.
| Did Olivia ask for an actual mar
riage ronly betrothal?
Discussion, led by Miss Cmpbell.
Subject, Was Sebastian weak to al

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-10-14
BY BYRON CUMMINGS.

In the smithsonian report FOR 1905,
pages $50 to COG, Prof Edgar l.. Hewett
has given a most excellent chapter on
"A General View of the Archaeology of
the Pueblo Region which was re-
printed by the government in 1905 as a
separate illustrated pamphlet. In this
monograph Prof. Hewett traces, in a
general way, the regions occupied by
the settlement building and cliff
dwelling Indians, and tells what an in
teresting field for exploration there is
In Utah.
Last spring, while Prof. Hewett was
IN Salt Lake City lecturing before the
Utah Archaeolo cal society, two or
three trips of investigation were
planned, one of which had for its OBJ
lect an attempt to locate definitely the
northern boundary of the country oc-
eupied by the Cliff Dwellers. We had
heard that Nine-Mile canyon, In the
northern part Of Carbon county, was

There are bright red deer, white an
telope, deer and mountain sheep anC
men mingled with the forms of mer
crowned with the horns of deer. Tur.
ties, lizards and the ever-recurring SER
pent-their rain god-are painted in
whites, greens and reds.
Many Indian Traditions.
One asks when these active little men
and women lived and fought. and why
they built homes in such inaccessible
places. Some of the old Utes say that
their grandfathers used to trade with
these Indians that lived in the cliffs,
and the Navajos have tradition that
their forefathers drove out and killed
these little white Indians because they
were no good.
There is no doubt but that the larger,
more powerful Indian tribes gradually
drove out these smaller and weaker
nations and forced them to take to the
cliffs for defense and, safety until they
were finally practically exterminated.
one can but admire the industry and
perseverance of this sturdy little peo-
pie. and the people should put forth
every effort TO see that evidences of the
customs and civilization OF the race
that once titled the fertile soil of some
of Utah's sunny valleys are preserved
where the coming generations of her
sons and daughters may study the life
of this interesting people.
Most Northerly Point Reached.
Nine-Mile canyon undoubtedly marks
the northern boundary of the country
an which these cliff-dwelling Indians
dared make their homes. Investigation
discloses no ruins in the country lying
north of this canyon, and reliable men
who have driven cattle over those
mountains for years state that they
nave never found any dwellings or
walls farther to the north.

Granaries Well Constructed.


The storehouses are beehive shaped,
varying from three to six feet In di-
ameter and from three to five feet in
height. They are carefully constructed
or stone, laid in clay mortar which has
sometimes been burned so that it is
as hard as adamant. The inside was
plastered over with the same sort of
clay In which can be seen the imprint
of fingers and knuckles where the clay
was pressed into the cracks and Joints.
over the top was placed fiat stone,
which was evidently also sealed up
with clay when the granary was filled.
/ Picture is an example of one of
the isolated cliffs which evidently
served as a stronghold for a colony of
Cliff jewellers. The only approach is up
the crevice i'm the rock facing the open.
Arrowheads and Pottery Found.
On the top of this cliff are found the
remains of eleven structures and nu-
merous walls on the edge that evident
~ served as breastworks. These still
stand from two to four feet high Down
underneath the edge of the overhang-
ing cliff on the right are found two
circular granaries of the kind described
above. Numerous flint arrowheads and
pieces of pottery lie scattered in the
debris on and about this cliff.
In the sixth picture are shown the
ruins of the homes of a colony of cliff
dWellers found on the top of another
somewhat isolated cliff a few miles
from the one cited above.
Handwriting on the Walls.
In number of places up and down
this canyon are seen excellent Speci-
mems of picture writing upon the more
or less protected surfaces of the cliffs.
Some of this work is picked out of the
stone according to the common custom
of the Indians; but most of it has been
painted on the rocks
