deep canons and gulches. The district
thus presents an aggregate of many
hundreds of miles of perpendicular
cliffs, gray, yellow, orange and salmon
colored. The mesas are nearly all
very narrow, some being mere tongues
OF rock separating comparatively wide
valleys.
A. b. Craycraft. the Santa Fe photog-
rapher, whose work has done so much
TO spread abroad q knowledge of the
wonders of Pajarito Park, recently
discovered two great stone idols
carved from the living rock. and still
forming an integral part of the cliff
to which they We're attached. In still
another canon are the "stone lions of
Potrero de las Vacas," and In another
the Painted Cave. Most wonderful of
oil, say certain aged Indians of the
pueblo of Santa Clara, Is the Stone
Council Chamber" In secret recess
In deep canon they claim are twelve
colossal stone figures ten of which
represent men sitting around a coun-
Gil fire, while the other two represent
squaws with papooses on their backs.
That this stone Council Chamber"
really exists no one familiar with the
traditions Of Santa Clara Indians
doubts, but no living white man has
ever seen It.
No less remarkable are the stone
tents of Otowi, in the canon OF the
same name. These were originally
huge, solid, conical stone formations,
detached from the cliffs, although
standing near them. In ALL there are
about fifty OF them, In spiral arrange
ment around the exterior, are deeply
cut NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., making 1t
comparatively easy to ascend to the
top, although some are fully forty
feet high. In some of them, rooms
have been laboriously excavated. Tx
animation reveals the fact that some
of the stone tents used to be much
higher than they now are, and that
the elements have worn them down
until the higher rooms have been
wholly or partially destroyed. Just
what was the purpose of these curl.
GUS places Is purely matter of con.
lecture. Some suppose that they were
devoted to religious uses or were the
dwelling places of the priests. Others
think they formed the abodes of the
chiefs and rulers. II is said that SINH
lar "stone tents" exist in Thibet. but
nowhere else In the known world.
When the wonders of our own land
are better appreciated. the stone tents
of Owoti will be considered justifica.

STANDARD OIL HAS
A GREAT PULL
WITH THE RAILROADS IN SELL.
ING ITS PRODUCTS.
ROADS PAY HIGHER PRICES
For Lubricating- Oil than Are Charged
by the Competitors Of the Trust,
According to Testimony Given
at New York.

New York. Oct. S--Testimony that
railroads purchased their lubricating
oils from the Standard Oil Co. at
prices that were higher than those of
It's competitors was heard Monday In
the federal suit for the dissolution OF
the so-called oil trust.
Philip Harrison, manager of the
New York Lubricating OIL Co.. which
has engaged in a long strife with the
Standard in the lubricating oil indus
try. was on the witness stand all
day and testified that, though the pro-
duets of his company had proven sat
isfactory TO the railroads and were
sold at prices Under the Standards fig.
ures, the railroads declined to renew
their contracts with the New York
Lubricating Oil Co.
The New York Lubricating OIL Co.
entered into contract in 1908 to sup
ply the Louisville L. Nashville railroad
for period of two years. said Mr..
Harrison, and six months before the
contract expired President Milton
Smith, of the railroad, informed the
oil company that 1t need not endeavor
to obtain q renewal OF the contract.
Mr.. Harrison said he had informed
Smith that If he was permitted to bid
for the business he was prepared to
reduce the price of engine oil from the
current contract price. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that President Smith had
praised the quality OF the oil and it
was offered at lower price than that
asked by the Standard, Mr. Harrison
said. the Louisville e. Nashville en-
tered into contract with the Galena
Signal Oil Co.. a subsidiary of the oil
combine.
Mr.. Kellogg, counsel for the govern
ment, showed the Witness the contract
entered into between the Louisville &
Nashville and the Galena company af-
ter the railroads contract with the
New York Lubricating Co. had ex-
pired and Mr. Harrison said the fig
ures showed that the railroad paid
$4,000 year more for its oil to the
Standard than 1t would have paid un-
der contract with the New York
company. Mr.. Harrison testified that
the Central Railroad of Georgia had
purchased its oil from his company
and that it. had been found satisfac-
tory The Standard obtained the busi-
ness, the witness said, nothwithstand-
ing the fact that the oil combine charg-
ed higher price than the New York
Lubricatlne Oil Co.

suit in equity of the Central of Geogia
railroad against the state railroad
commission, argument on which be-
gan Monday in the United States dis
trict court before Judge Newman.
The Central of Georgia, while COM
plying with the commissions order
reducing the maximum fare to ~
cents mile, alleges that the reduction

that the railroad commission and the
governor cannot be made parties to a
suit, and on this point rests the future
life OF the case.
