AN OTHER INTERESTING LETTER
RE CEIVED FROM Mr.. D00LITTLE

400 years for they were there when
Coronado passed through early in the
10th century and received from him
peach pits and other seeds which have
formed the basis for some of the fine
orchards and gardens which are now
cultivated by the Indians on the
ground below the mesa. These In
dams are largely agricultural in their
tastes and their corn, beans, melons,
chill peppers, gourds, peaches, pears,
apples and grapes are the finest pro-
duccd in the state of Arizona. The
Navajo has the reputation for pro-
ducing the finest Indian blankets but
the Hopi is equally as good if not bet
ter in the art of weaving and knit
ting. This work is all done by the
men. The women, among the Hopls,
were the earliest exponent OF unlver7
sa! suffrage, in fact she is the head
of the house and if her husband does
not please her she can divorce him
by placing his saddle outside the
door. When he arrives home and finds
his saddle there he knows that he
must take it up and seek new nome:
The pottery work of the Hopls is all
done by the women. The art has been
known to them for hundreds of years
and their work is Of the highest type.
In addition to being a good agricul-
turist, weaver and knitter the Hopl IS
also a good ranchman. Mr.. Leaning
informed US that in taking census
of the live stock Of the three villages
he found that one man possessed 6Oo
sheep, 600 cattle and about 60 horses
1t may be interesting to know why
the Hopi selected the barren, rocky
mesa as his permanent abode. 1t was
not from choice but from necessity.
The Hopi is of peaceful disposition
and does not care for war. Encroach-
ments upon his land and later upon
his stock by the more aggressive
Navajo and the fierce and warlike
Apache made him seek these high
points of vantage where he could pro-
tect himself and be at peace.
Only passing review of the work
done by Mr.. Leaning and his assist
ants at the school can be made. At
present there are ninety Hopis taking
advantage of the governments lnstruc-
tion at Polacca. 1t is an interesting
sight to see the little children coming
down from the mesa in the morning.
The little boys in blue overalls and
the girls wrapped in their many-hued
shawls. Little children of eight or
nine years carry their younger BROTH
ers and sisters on their backs. We
were there on frosty morning and
the government supplies of shoes had
not arrived. The children were mostly
barefoot but did not seem to mind
the cold. Mr.. Leaning says that they
generally take their shoes off as soon
as they reach their homes and go
about all winter in their bare feet.
The work at the school is both in
dustrial and theoretical. The children
are wonderfully adaptative and after
instruction at the school make use of
their advantages in many ways. The

sanitary and living conditions in the
modern villages show great improve
ment over those Of Walpi. Mr.. Lean
ing tells us that there is not single
case of venereal disease in the entire
population of the mesa and states
that this is due to the fact that the
Hopis have never mixed with the
whites. The people have much to
learn but they are wonderfully amen
able and compliant. They are faithful
to their religious beliefs, and, accord
ng to their standards of life of good
moral character. Their sacred birds
are the turkey and the eagle. Con-
trary to the general belief they do
not venerate the rattlesnake and the
snake dances are held as the means
Of Precipitation to the snake. The
snakes are secured, fed and cared for
and the rites are held with the view
of sending the snakes forth with a
message to their sacred god that rain
may be furnished to their crops. In
this connection it is interesting to
know that the Hopi does not raise
his crops by irrigating but by sys-
tenn Of spring flooding entirely of his
own device. Corn is often planted
ten to twenty inches deep.
Mr.. Leaning has been at the gov
ernment school for seven years and
says that nothing could now prevail
upon him to give up his work in the
interests of the Hopi. We left Polac-
ca with deep regret that longer time
could not be spent at the school and
in the homes of the Indians.
We drove from Polacca to Oraibi
which is one of the older and larger
of the Hopi villages. It was origi-
nally located entirely on the top Of
a mesa but the Indians have gradu-
ally spread out over the lowland and
there is now a considerable settle
ment at the foot of the mesa. Many
of the old houses on the mesa are
now unoccupied but are full of inter-
est because of the unique architecture.
At Oraibi we were most Hospitality
received by the Indian trader, L. Hub
ball. He entertained US at dinner
the quality and quantity of which was
all that could be desired. AS we
wished to drive to the ancient village
of Hoteville we were unable to spend
much time at Oraibi.
Hoteville is reached by seven mile
trip along the top Of the same mesa
on which Oraibi is situated. Of all
the Hopi villages it is by far the most
interesting and most representative of
the Hopis as they lived several hun
dred years ago. AS we walked about
the village and viewed the queer
structures with the drying strings Of
gourds and peppers, the heaps of
maize and melons, the meat Of goats
and sheep curing in the sun and the
tanned hides of foxes, wild cats and
other animals hanging upon the
doors; the Hopi men weaving and
knitting in the sunlight with little
naked children running about the
streets which are laid out without any
regard of system, we could easily i'm
agine ourselves in a distant foreign
land The Indians of the First Mesa
have been somewhat touched with a
mertenary spirit through contact with
the ubiquitous tourist but it is sell
dom that tourist reaches Hoteville
and here one sees the Indian in his
plain, simple. character. They were

Editor Ward County Independent:
When | wrote week ago we were
about to go into the Painted Desert
with view Of visiting a number OF
the villages Of the Hopi Indians. We
left Holbrook, Arizona late in the al
tcrnoon and after going about twenty
miles over the snowy roads we reached
the trading post at Indian Wells. Here
we were very cordially received by
Trader Grubbs and wife and accepted
their invitation to attend religious
services at the Indian Hospital.
Early the next morning we set out
FOR the Indian villages, driving by the
way of keam's Canyon. The snow
had now disappeared and the ride at
ter reaching the canyon was delight
full one. The sunlight effects on the
vari-colored mesas are always OF IN
terest and often enchanting. We
reached Polacca, where is located the
government school for the Hopi chill
dren, about three o'clock in the after
noon and made our camp on the school
grounds. The principal Of the school,
George L. Leaning, takes much inter-
est in the welfare of the Hopis and is
a. man who cannot fail to work much
good for them. The school is located
about a mile from the foot Of what is
termed the First Mesa" The mesa
is high, flat tableland in this case
the top being at least two thousand
feet above the settlement at Polacca.
There are three distinct villages on
the mesa, the total population of the
three being 625 Hopis. The old Hopi
village of Walpi is located at the west
ern end of the mesa and is the most
primitive and characteristic of the
pueblos. At the other extreme end
Of the mesa is located the village of
Tewa, which interpreted into English
means "Keepers of the Gate" The in
habitants of Tewa are more progress
i've and their village is better kept
than that of Walpi. Walpi does not
regard Tewa as being true to the ira
ditions of the ancient people and OBJ
jects to any of its people uniting with
those of Tewa. This does not oc-
cur, however, and as a result we have
the village of Sitchumnowi, located
between Walpi and Tewa and COM
posed principally of the offspring of
those who put tradition behind them
and have taken the family vows.
A visit to the town Of Walpi gives
one a clear conception Of how the
Hopis have lived for the last half
century. 1t is certain that these peo-
pie have been on the mesa for at least

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MARKETS
t .NANC|AL AND
MONEY MARKETS

NEW YORK, January S0.-The buoy
ant tone of the foreign exchanges
which seemed to be based mainly on
the improvement shown by European
economic conditions, was the feature
Of today's financial market.
Demand bills on London, made fur-
ther advance of 81 cents TO AS, the
best quotation in over two years.
French, Italian, Belgian and Dutch
and most of the neutral rates rose ten
to almost rs points. German marks
were the one exception showing no per
ceptible change.
Trade in stocks was unusually quiet,
total transactions of about 45o,oOO
shares being the smallest for any full
session this year. Price changes were
very confusing, popular shares OF the
oil, motor, minor steel and food groups
displaying occasional weakness.
Gains were nmited to some shippings
and comprising the chain stores issue
but the movement in those stocks
seemed largely Of professional origin.
The five per cent opening rate for call
loans held unti the final half hour
when belated demands forced the rate
to 5h per cent.
Time funds were pltntiful. however
at Az to Az per cent, according to the
length of maturity. Uncertain indus
trial conditions were reflected in the
lower prices quoted for various COM
InOultleS particularly cruue Tupper, Ie-
fined sugar and the sagging tendency
of coppers and allied metals. Western
and Southwestern terminals reported
only moderate increases of tonnage
movements.
Foreign bonds were responsive to the
strength of international remittances,

CHICAGO GRAINS
AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 30.-Buying pow
err today in wheat was the most active

current which emphasized smallness of
farm reserve supplies of wheat and of
mill and elevator stocks. The close

May sl.19% to s1.l97s and July s1O5ls

Corn finished M4hc down and oats

tied with heavy buying of wheat and

notable reduction compared with the
customary aggregate. An advance in
Sterling exchange and a cold wave
threatening unprotected fields of win
ter wheat tended further to stimulate
buying. Hedging sales against pur-
chases of corn to arrive made a de-
pressing influence on the value of corn
and oats. Besides the visible supply
both of corn and oats showed fair
increase.
Higher quotations on hogs, together
with some export business In lard, did
