IN NEW YORK'S EARLY DAYS
Simple Reason Why the First Settle.
ment Grew In Length Instead
Of Breadth.

The province of New York was In
reality fringe of settlements on the
Hudson river, Manhattan island and
Long island; back of this fringe was
waste of trackless forest land, the land
of mountains and ravines, where
lurked vast hordes of Indians, driven
from the water front by the daring
mariners, to whom, for song, the
simple savages had sold their birth
right. The foolish white man, sowing
seeds of cunning and distrust, had
pushed the red man into mightier
stronghold among the crags and
clfffs-but not before he had learned
the use of firearms, and had learned
also the lesson of killing for revenge.
With this menace at their back. 1t is
no wonder that the territory of New
York grew in length rather than in
breadth, though, as early as 1860, a
handful Of dauntless pioneers, led by
Arendt Van Curler or "Brother Cor
laer," as the Iroquois Indians called
him, Travelled up to Albany, through
what is known as Clinton avenue, un-
til reaching Norman's XIII they struck
a forest trail which led them to their
future home on low plateau on the
banks of the Mohawk.-From Heroes
of the American Revolution by Oliver
Clay.

builders have determined the name,
being distinguished from all others
mainly by architectural characters

that these forebears of the American
Indian possessed maize or Indian corn
aids in establishing their peculiarities.
1.-THE immigrant clans that first peo-
pied the Southwest built neither cliff
dwellings nor pueblos." says Doctor
Fewkes, consequently this style of
dwelling originated exactly where we
now find them.
when man first entered the South
west he knew little of the advantages
of stone as a building material, for he
built his hut of mud, and sticks, or
possibly skins of animals. The North
American Indian became a stone ma
son as n result of life In cliffs, and
nowhere outside of the Southwest were
buildings constructed of stone by the
aborigines of the section north of
Mexico. The prehistoric masonry in
this region is a development which oc-
CURED before the advent of the white
man. And yet, no European ever saw
an inhabited cliff dwelling on the Mesa
Verde. and no article of European
manufacture has ever been found In
the undisturbed debris of the rooms"
All of which shows that these early
dwellings We're abandoned before the
Spanish conquest.

Doctor Fewkes says that there is ev-
cry reason TO believe that there were
formerly as many buildings of this
kind as there We're cliff dwellings in
the canyons. practically about one hun
dred Of them. They seem to have
been arranged In groups surrounding
or near Mummy lake. an artificial de-
preston surrounded by an encircling
ridge or wall, and undoubtedly used
as reservoir both for drinking and
irrigation waters.
The mound chosen to be excavated
stands near the Government road at
the southwest corner of the group
area, and only n few steps from the
rim of Soda canyon. "It might well
be called Far View House," says the
excavator, "since the southern outlook
is very fine. and from the upper rooms

leo and Colorado. may be seen."
When the building was excavated
forty domlciliary rooms and four cir
cular, ceremonial kivas were found on
the ground floor. The forms were
mainly two stories in height, the raft
tiers of the lower floors forming the
beams for the second, and extending
along the north, east and west sides
of the main building. A row of rooms
to the north of one kiva shows evil
dences of third story. which would
probably have brought the original
number of rooms to over fifty. To the
south is great court supposed to have
been dance plaza, and still ipclosed

DIR. J. Walter Fewkes, ethnologist
in the Smithsonian Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology, who returned recently
from his field work in the Mesa Verde
National Park, Colorado, reports that
his work has revealed for the first
time new type of prehistoric build
Ing possibly over 600 years old-a
pueblo, commonly defined as terraced
community building, not attached to
q cliff but constructed in the open.
During the past few years, the Smith
sonian institution, in cooperation with
the department of the interior, has
directed the excavation and repair of
several prehistoric ruins in the Mesa
Verde national park, among them the
"Sun Temple" excavated by Doctor
Fewkes last year, which proved
unique example of aboriginal building
specialized for religious purposes, and
Spruce Tree House." and Cliff Pal
ace" characteristic cliff dwellings of
the culture of the early dwellers.
The building excavated last summer
forms one of what is known as the
Mummy Lake group of mounds which
might be termed type locality, for it
seems representative of a considerable
region. According to Doctor Fewkes
the area now comprising Arizona,
Utah, Colorado. and New Mexico was
inhabited, in prehistoric times. by In
dams similar to those of any other
region of North America, but their
dwellings were very different This
unique territory, therefore bears the
