REM ARK ABLE RUINS OF
"HOLY CITY" OF THE MAYAS

For many centuries Mexico has
been the home Of many races. Most
Of as are wont to regard it as the
home of only the Aztecs, with whose
civilization Prescott and the early
Spanish chroniclers have made us
more or less familiar. The achaeolo-
gist and student of pre- Columbian and
prehistoric times, however, knows
that there were races, especially in
southern Mexico and parts of Cen
trail Emerica, whose ancient civiliza-
ton bad not connection with the en-
pire Of the Montezumas, and whose
wonderful works, long ago fallen into
decay and ruin, are now the subjects
of scientific research and study. To
Americans at least these should be as
interesting as the ruins Of ancient
Egypc or the buried cities of Asia
and the Far East.
Under the title "Ancient Temples
and Cities Of the New World" the
Monthly Bulletin of the Pan-American
Union, Washington, D. c., has been
a series of articles dealing
with these relics of splendid but
long forgotten people. One of the
most interesting of the ruined cities
bore the name of Chichen Itza, once
the, "holy city" of the Mayas, a peo-
Pile of whom Sylvanus G. Morley
writes:
"Long before the discovery of Amer
lca there flourished in southern Mex
co, Guatemala and parts of Hondu-
ras great civilization, which has
been called the Maya. 1t may be said
without exaggeration that this civili-
zation had reached height equaled
by no other people of the Western
Hemisphere prior to the coming of
The white man. In architecture, sculp-
sure and in painting the Mayas ex-
,elled. Their priests were astronomers
q no mean ability, having observed
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-09

and recorded, without the aid Of in
struments Of precision such as are
known to US, the lengths of the So
lar and Venus years, and probably
the lengths of the Mercury and Mars
years. In addition to this they had
developed calendar system and per
fected chronology which in some Of
its characteristics was equal to our
Gwn.
'But the ancient glory Of this peo-
pie had long since departed when Her
with them on the coast Of Yucatal
in 1919. Their star had set. Their
greatest cities had been abandoned
and lay in ruins. Even the memory
Of the older cities of their culture,
such as Palenque, Copan and Quiri-
qua, for example, seems to have
passed from the minds of men, their
former existence forgotten. Probably
the largest, and certainly the most
magnificent, of the ruined cities which
the Spanish conquerors found on their
arrival in Yucatan was Chichen Itza,
around which even in its desolation
there still cluster a thousand tradi-
tions of former sanctity and splendor.
The name is Maya, and means "The
Mouth of the Wells of the Itzas.'
"To visit the ancient city now, one
jolts for fifteen long and weary miles
in two-wheeler cart drawn by three
mules over the toughest kind of a
highway imaginable. Finally, when it
seems that the limit of physical en-
durance has been reached, the cart
suddenly lurches around a sharp turn
in the road and as if by magic the
lofty Castillo flashes into view, tow
ering high above the plain and the
rest of the city.
''This imposing structure, the high
est in Yucetan, rises IS feet above the
plain. The pyramid on which the
temple stands is 1876 feet long and
covers about an acre of ground. It
| is made of nine terraces of faced ma
sonry, each terrace elaborately pam
eled to relieve the monotony of eff
feet. Up the center of each of it's
four sides rises a stairway 81 feet
wide. These stairways have massive
stone balustrades, carved to represent
serpents, the heads being at the bases
of the stairways and thanking them
"The Castillo would seem to have
been the center of the ancient city
and probably its chief sanctuary. To
the north lies the Sacred Cenote
(welD and the causeway leading 10
it. On the east is vast group Of
buildings, colonnades, courts and pyra-
mids, 'The City of a Thousand Col
Imns," as some one has picturesque
lily described it. - ue west is the group
of structures known as the Ball Court.
To tho south for half mile or more,
scattered through the jungle, are pyr-
amids, courts, temples and palaces.
The central location of the Castillo
with reference to all Of these, as well
as its great size and commanding
height, argue strongly that it was the
chief sanctuary of the "holy city" In
another structure, the "House of the
Tigers" are found the remnants of
several beautiful mural paintings. One
OF these represents an attack by an
enemy on large city, splendidly exc
cuted, and presents perhaps the most
remarkable piece of aboriginal paint
ing known to be in existence. The to-
tai area covered by the ruins has
been estimated at ten square miles,"

Logging contractors of north
ern Wisconsin are liable to lose
thousands of dollars unless snow
falls soon and remains on the

winters cut is about half com
pieted and the roads are bare,
making hauling impossible. Halt
of the logs are laying where they
were cut. If they are not taken

lying areinaecessible unless snow

REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY
Several Big Deals in Villas

From rhepresent outlook there
IS going to be great activity in
Villas county real estate during
1914 Several large deals are
being turned over and more are
in the making.
The taking over of the major
'ity of Fred Morey lake frontage
holdings on Yellow Birch, Duck,
Lynx and Otter lakes last week
by Chas. NJ Wagner and several
Milwaukee parties was a deal of
some magnitude. County Sur
veyor Daniel Graham and crew
are now plating this frontage
for Mr. Wagner
Another proposed deal is the
taking over of the remaining
farm lands of the 6. F. Sanborn
Land company by the Joseph w.
Good Land Co. of Ashland to-
gether with several other tracts
and colonizing the same with a
colony of Croatians. Edward
Poppel, agent for the above COM
pany is in Eagle River this week
looking over the lands for the
colony
The placing OF a colony of Ger
mans on lands near Big Bass
lake is being worked for and from

likely to go through.
