Important Discovery

where the pottery was made, yet
they had not advanced to that state
Of distrust of their fellow creature,
for thus fer no implements Of war
fare have been found.
They not only built their village
for defense but carried out the same
idea in regard to death. Sufficient
evidence proves conelusively that
all burials were inside the village.
From the best information obtain
able from the Geologic Survey, all
bodies were hurled in graves about
2 feet wide, az feet long and . feet
deep. After the body was placed in
lhe grave, IL was then that, instead
Of covering the body and letting ma
lure have its way, a huge funeral
pyre was constructed of cedar and
pine wood and set ON fire. II is sup
posed that in some cases possible
caVe-ins preserved portions Of the
skeletons. Such a find was made by
Mr.. Davis. In his work eXCavating
he found aside from some painted
pottery, several bones from a hu-
man skeleton, bones from the arm
legs, and feet. These bones had beer
burned partially, but enough of eacf
preserved TO definitely name them.
This, Mr.. Davis states is the largest
find ever made in one grave or al
one time.
These relics will be put on exhibit
in Clayton for a short time after
which they will be sent to the
North American Musuem, New York
City.

NEW MEXICO STOCK
GOING TO THE WEST

A distinct movement of feeder
calves, yearlings, and fat hogs from
New Mexico TO California points has
been noticed the past few months.
This movement will doubtless be
very much stimulated by the estab-
lishment of the new Union Stock
yard at Los Angeles.
Director G. /. Christie Of Purdue
University, who was recently at the
New Mexico Agricultural College
making a survey of livestock con
ditions in the Southwest, for the
syndicate which is financing the
yard, is authority for the state
menl that 100 head Of cattle are re-
quired every day to supply the needs
of Los Angles alone. Part Of these
cattle are supplied by local packing
plants already established, the re-
mainder coming as dressed Oeei
from Eastern packing cenlers. Fin
ished hogs are coming in greatly in
creased numbers TO Los Angeles
from the New Mexico grain sorghum
belt; shipments of feeder hogs have
also been made from the Mesilla
Valley: hence the need Of a central
market al this point
Director Christie was favorabll

Rev. J. +. Lunsford:
| am better prepared to answer
your question Of Monday in regard
to what we were going to do about
the school house We wouldn't know
what TO DO, but lot it sell. We learn
ed last fall the house was going to
sell. We met one night aud organ
lied community club with J. Z.
Smith, president. G.. Z. Jones, v. p,
Mrs. A. Z. Snyder, Sec. and Treas.
Two committees being appointed,
one TO draft bylaws and one to in-
vesligate and epOrt the proper
steps to take in order to buy the
house. No report was made. Date
Of sale came and the committee or
part of it was there and must OF
accepted the loan of the house on
conditions. The house was built and
seated by the community with very
ittle state aid. We don't feel like
taking the house as loan and make
repairs and reseat IT, AS long as the
law is interpreted to take all COM
munity fixtures placed in or on
county property. There was time
when one row of corn would bring
$500. Now it will take five rows TO
bring SiJOO. That has put new music
TO all Of our songs.
Ignore is tbs right word but used
ir the wrong place as this case, as
The wishes Of the people have been
ignored.
