| part are of tufa, volcanic deposit as soft
and workable as chalk and yet solid as
marble
The Rito is ono of these branch canyons
1t is perhaps 700 feet deep, and it's walls
are so abrupt that its floor can be reached
only by few steep and difficult trails.
You must picture it then as vast
crack in me face of the earth with walls
steep and sheer, sculptured into all sorts
of forms by wind and rain, and tinted in
every shade of brown, from the palest
buff to the richest Of old mecrschaum.
These walls are barren and sterile, but at
the bottom of the canyon. there are temple
like groves of pine and thick shade Of
willow and box elder along the stream,
and open level land where corn will grow.
And the level mesas above are well tim
bered with pine and juniper and support
rich grass. Wild turkey and blacktail
deer are still abundant there, as they
must have been in the days Of the cliff
dwellers. There are bear In the canyons
and mountain lions and coyotes are
abundant.
1t is easy to imagine the charm which
such spot would have for a tribe Of
primitive men, sedentary by habit, who
longed for a place where they would be
secure from plundering bands of nomad
Indians. They could raise corn in the
canyons and perhaps on the mesas; game
was abundant; the winters were mild, and
the tufa cliffs made the building of
homes an easy matter. No doubt the
rooms in the cliff walls were made first
with rude stone picks. The doors were
made small so that single round boulder
would close one against marauder.
Windows and chimney holes were dug,
and shelves and cubbies for the storing
of provisions. Then, as the tribe grew
strong and numerous they made rafter
holes in the cliffs and built two and three
story stone houses out in front of it.
They built a great circular communal
house on the floor of the canyon. All of
its walls may still be traced, and some
of them are yet several feet high. And
finally the shamans of the tribe climbed
to great cave in the cliff nearly 200 feet
above the stream and there they built
one. of their circular places of worship,
called a khiva, half way between the
silver water and the blue sky that looked
over the rimrock Never was pagan
temple more fifty set.
THE COUNTRY UNCHANGED.
1t is the beauty of this place that the
country is Just as IL has always been,
and that so much of the ancient city
remains You have only to see its walls
standing again, to populate it with brown
men and women, like the Pueblos of today

An American City
Before Christ
By Frederic J. Haskin

Rito De Los Frjoles, N. NJ, Aug. 23.-
Long before Columbus crossed the At
lantic, and probably before Christ was
born, there was city IN this barren
canyon.
1t was city we'll worthy of the name,
with many stone houses, with churches
| and forts, arts and industries, and farm
lands to feed its people, of whom there
| were perhaps two thousand.
The age of this city is a matter for
speculation, 1t is known only that 1t was
a ruin when the Spaniards came in the
sixteenth century. There are many other
things about it that puzzle archaologists.
But its size and how it looked are apparent
to every beholder. For half of it was
built of masonry, some of which still
stands, and the other half was excavated
In the face of the tufa cliffs.
These rooms made by digging are almost
unchanged. The SCOT of ancient fires is
still black on their roofs, and on their
floors lie the stone mortarS and pestles
with which grain was ground, the stone
tools with which the rooms were made,
bits of pottery, arrow heads and many
other remnants of the life that was.
> For long time writers romanced about
the men who made these cliff dwellings

was assumed that they were pigny race.
But Bandelier, Loomis and other able
investigators discredited this charming
fairy tale. They showed that in all essen
tials, rs shown by its remains, this
civilization of the cliff dwellers was like
the civilization of the Pueblo Indians of
today. They established the fact that the
ancestors of the modern Pueblos lived In
this cliff city in an age when they were a
more thriving race than they have been
in historical times, and when they needed
such refuge in order to escape the Apaches
and other nomad Indians.
A STRIKING SITE.
Never was a city built in a more pictures
que and inaccessible location. Here the
Rio Grandeplows a way thousand feet
deep through a barren land of lava, iron
hard and iron hot, furgally timbered with
gnarled and hardy pinon and juniper.
Down to the river come other streams
little clear streams from the pointed peaks
to the north through gorges as deep
and sheer as that of the Rio Grande itself.
But these tributary canyons are not cut
through lava. Their walls for the most

These people were potters OF great ability,

may find abundant bits and which the
modern Indians cannot equal; they wore

painted them on the roofs OF caves; they
had an organized government and a
religion with permanent temples. Who

The cliff dwellings are populous again

who come from Santa Fe to see them, and
with archRlogists, who explore and
expound and even insist on rebuilding
some of the fallen walls to show how they
used to be. One cannot help feeling this
invasion as something of dissertation. A

snaps her futile little camera at everything

Mr.. John Boyd, the proportion of FL
Rito Ranch, and the host of all who come
here, is doing, his best to preserve the
typical appearance of the place. All
of his buildings, which he is rapidly ex-
tending to meet the growing invasion
of tourists, are careful limitations of the
Pueblo architecture, built of the same
rock that the cliff dwslers used, and in
the Same style.
There was only one Indian on the Rito
at the time of our visit She was n full
blooded Pueblo squaw in the employ Of
Boyd. She answers to the unindian name
of Lena, and regards life on the whole as
joke. She displays no interest in the
dwellings of her ancient forebears, and
indeed she takes no pride in her Indian
blood, as such, but aims to be simply

Ocean to ocean automobile travel has
not become SO common as not to be of
interest to all motorists regardless of
the time required in making the trip.
Hundreds of cars have sought to set
new time records betWeenSan Francisco

easy accomplishment. The records
broken by Essex had stood for four years.
1t is not speed so much as absolute
reliability that counts in such a test.
The car must keep going. No time
can be allowed for delays. Roadside
adjustments would make such a per-

the task its drivers set and met every
