LEGEND AND TRADITION OF SPANISH
TWIN PEAKS IN HUERFANO COUNTY

Rain, who have power to move the
clouds and scatter them all over the
world.
"Huajatolla, the breasts of the
world they are, two breasts as round
rs a woman's, and all living things
on earth, mankind. :. beasts and plants,
derive their maintenance from thence,
for the clouds are created there, and
without clouds there is no rain, and
when the rain fails we have no food,
and with no food we would perish
ALL"
These legends, still current among
the Indians when the first white men
entered the country nearly one hun
dred years ago, are corroborated by
indications that point to a wonder
fully rich vegetation that once must
have fourished at the base and on the
slopes of these mighty mountains.
Other traditions make mention Of a
vanished race that inhabited the val
leys of the Huajatolla, traces of which
can be readily found to the present
day.
All in all, the Huajatollas, or Span
ish Peaks, as they are now generally
called, will remain for many years to
come, an interesting field, not alone
for the tourist, but also to the ethnol-
ogist and scientist.
Opportunities are not lacking here
for chronological and archaeological in
vestigations and scientific research.

THE NAVY WAS READY
WHEN WAR began
Did NOt Change Its Organization
Simply Increased In Size
HAS GONE OVER The TOP
Never A War So Important For New
Ways OF Lighting And 10 Keep
Them Secret

The Navy was ready when war be-
gan. Like Won Moltke's army in
Franco-Prussian War, it had only to
go ahead with plans arranged in ad-
vance 1t has not had to change its
organization. 1t has simply increased
in size at every point, and gone over
the top.
The number of of ships in the war
construction program OF the Navy is
787, icluding some ships recently COM
pleted This is considerably more
than twice the total number Of ships
in commission on the day war was de-
clared on Germany.
In the past year the Navy has ex-
panded from 6S,000 enlisted men to
more than 100000, including marines,
reserves, ana others IN service. In
January, 1917 there were 4,500 off
GERS. Now there are more than
$4,000.
AT the beginning OF the year there
were 800 naval vessels Of all types
in commission: now there are many
more than a thousand" Ships that
were on the stocks then have been
hurried to completion. Ships that
were laid up in the navy yards be-
cause there were not men enough to
men them have been reiitted and man
ned and sent to sea. Scores OF yachts
ana power boats have been taken over
from private owners to be set at work
searching for submarines.
In the past eighteen months Con-
gress has appropriated for naval pur-
poses 1905, ,410,930 This is more
money than was spent on the iTavy in
the entire period from 1883 to 1911
the first % years Of the existence Of
the New Navy" And that period in-
eludes the years Of rapid naval expan-
sion that followed upon our war with
Spain
But the Navy has done more in the
past year than merely TO expand It
has been engaged day after day for
months in the actual business Of ma
val warfare. II has sunk submarines
how many. the Department is not
telling.
The first American forces to land in
France for service against the Ger
mans were units of the naval aeronau-
tic corps They were landed at a

The Navy has fourteen times as
many flying boats as It had at the be-
ginning of the year and thirty times
as many men in its aircraft forces. Il
has built its own aircraft factory in
Philadelphia Ninety days after
