SAYS SPRE-HISTORIC PEOPLE LIVED
IN AMERICA 10000 YEARS AGO

That prehistoric people inhabited
this region as early as the prehistoric
people of other regions, is the state
ment of Director Byron Cummings, in
his series of addresses on the early
days of the Southwest, being deliver
ed in the Salt River valley this week.
The director bases his belief on the
facts revealed by discoveries made
during the expedition to unearth the
old temple of Cuicuiloc in Mexico.
"Some investigators Of American
languages declare that it has taken
at least 10000 years for the great
number and variety of languages spo-
ken in America at the time of the
conquest to have developed" said the
university professor. "The work of
the Arizona state museum on the old
temple of Cuicuilco in Mexico shows
that that structure must have been
built at least 5000 years ago. All
of the facts SO far brought to light
show that man has occupied America
for very long time, and we believe
that it will be demonstrated that the
human race has been here quite as
long as in other parts of the world"
Prehistoric people in the southwest
had a good environment in which to
live, according to the lecturer, the
scene stretching from the "cacti-deck-
ed plains to the pine-clad and sun
capped peaks of the north" Speak
ing of present opportunities to see
this, he said:
with the completion of a few
more miles of highway and the inn
provement Of a few patches. we will
have a north and south highway that
will furnish an outing trin unsurpass-

is the setting Of prehistoric tribes who
developed great irrigation system, cul-
tivated thousands upon thousands of
acres of fertile land through these
valleys, and over these mesas. They
