able these enemies finally overcame
them to point where they became
discouraged and moved on to other
places where they would not be har-
asSed.
The Montezuma Castle national
monument is situated about 3 miles
east of Camp Verde in the north
eastern part of Yavapai county, Ari-
zona. 1t can be reached from Flag
staff, Arizona, on the Santa Fe rail-
road and National Old Trails road
by way of the Mormon Lake road, a
run of about so miles through a high
ly scenic section. 1t is also reached
from Prescott on the Santa F'e sys-
tenn and state highway between Ash
fork and Phoenix. From Prescott
one can go to the monument via the
Jerome Prescott road, beautiful
scenic ride and return by the Cherry
Creek road, another beautiful drive.
The distance from Prescott is about
81 miles. Martin L. Jackson is GUS
todian of the monument and lives
close by. Visitors are asked to use
great care in climbing the ladders to
the ruins and in walking through
them, and are warned not to push
or lean on the outside walls as acci-
dent and damage might result.

Situated in cavity in the face of
a vertical cliff about so feet above
its base, Montezuma Castle is a true
cliff dwelling. The building is about
40 feet from bottom to top and is
overhung by at least 80 feet of cliff
which has kept the ruin in good
state of preservation.
1t needs no great stretch Of imagin-
alton when you are on the ground to
picture with your minds eye q day
many centuries ago when some pa
triarch led his clan up or down the
stream, now called Beaver creek, and
rounding great bend saw this cliff
with its deep recesses as if prepared
by nature for housing his people in
safety. Thus it was that the clan
must have halted here, built in the
cliff and cultivated the land formed
by the bend in the stream and lived
for many generations. But these
ruins were abandoned many years
ago, for the Apache Indians, who oc-
cupied the valley on the advent of
the white man, have no tradition con-
cerning its origin.
The castle itself was not all erected
at one time, but shows at least three
stages of building. Neither was it
built under the direction of one man.
ager or foreman, for various meth
ods were used in the construction of
the different rooms. It was in all
probability communal house and
each family or unit, in erecting its
room or rooms, used its own methods
applied with its best skill and judg
ment. There is a very wide difference
in the plastering of various rooms,
ceiling construction and wall and door
construction. In those days each man
was his own builder, plasterer, roofer
and interior decorator.
Near the castle are many smaller
structure of from one to four or five
rooms and 200 or 800 persons have
had their homes in this section. They
used pottery of a fair quality, some
of it decorated in two-color work with
symmetrical designs. They raised
corn and were in a fairly advanced
stage of the stone age and depended
for their living on agriculture and
partly on hunting. They had enemies
who strove to steal their crops and

TOURISTS SUFFER ON
CALIFORNIA DESERT

Automobile tourists encountered
one of the worst storms in the history
of the California desert while cross
ing by the sandhills route on Thurs
day night, according to travellers who
entered Arizona at the state highway
bridge yesterday.
The storm began in the afternoon.
The wind increased in velocity until
at midnight tourists we're obliged to
stop and brace their cars against the
wind to keep the clements from lit
orally tearing the covers from the
sides and tops of their machines.
Sand drifts ten and twelve feet
high were piled on the plank road in
the open spaces between the hills and
the road, throwing up a barrier that
proved absolutely impossible.
The night spent on the desert by
the stalled travellers was declared to
have been one of the most miserable
ever experienced by them.
Under the light of a bright moon
the wind tore the fine sands across
the landscape in clouds of glittering
glory that obscured even the asphalt
trail under the beaming headlights OF
the motors The sand stung and
slashed the cheeks of individuals,
buried automobiles from sight and
forced their owners to seek refuge
from the torment.
Those who were within close prox-
unity Of Grays' Well considered them
selves lucky. There, the only means
of shelter was a water tank and
few small buildings, but this spot
proved wonderful relief and soon
all cars that could, made for this
center to await the dawn, and the
abatement of the storm.
The sand that shifts so readily in
the face of the wind was being clear
ed from the planks yesterday by
scrapers and as soon as the wind
quiets down traffic will again be nor
nal.
The pavement on the other side of
the planks clears of sand easily but
there are places on the plank road
where the sand is retained by the
tons. Traffic has been severely i'm
peded for the past AZ hours and no
one should cross this stretch of road
until the storm has absolutely spent

There are two things we like about

stand out most prominent. 1t is
printed in an attractive manner
just as though its publishers were
proud of it and really wanted people
to read it. The other is that it COW

not an old out-of-date pamphlet, but
is to be an up-to-date publication
showing progress as progress is made
from month to month.

Will H. Hayes. former postmaster
general.
Immediately after the committee
adjourned today, the senate initiated
another inquiry by adopting in rapid
succession q series of resolutions by
Senator Norris, Republican. Nebras-
ka. They call upon the state. war.
navy, interior and treasury depart
ments and the shipping board for in
formation as to what former cabinet
officers or former members of con-
gress have practiced before any of
those agencies in the prosecution Of
claims since January /, 1913.
In the senate Senator Walsh again
contradicted in uneQuivocal terms
the charge of the Republican Ma
tional Committees bureau that the
naval oil reserves were leased under
the general leasing law, which he
sponsored in the senate
Tonight the news bureau came out
with a new attack on the Demo-
crsts in connection with the Oil
leases. 1t is charged that Former
Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels now joins Senator Walsh of
Montana, William G. McAdoo of
California, Thomas Gregory Of Tex
as. George Creel, and other promi-
nent Democrats in trying to run
away from his record OF transactions
in connection with the oil lands and
leases.
Referring to Mr.. Daniels state
ment at Philadelphia recently that
the act of June 4. 1919. was asked
exclusively to conserve oil in the
ground" the bureaus statement said
out of the ground and do with it as
he pleased and pointed to leases
subsequently entered into with seven
oil companies for extraction Of oil
from naval reserve number in
California.
While the senate discussion pro-
ceeded today, President Coolidge
talked over the oil situation with
Ahee Pomerene, of the governments
special oil counsel. Mr.. Pomerene
said afterwards a statement as to
the counsel's intention regarding le-
gal proceedings might be expected
within q few days.
Mr.. Fomerens conference was the
first held with the president by either
member of counsel since he and his
associate. Owen j. Roberts, received
their commissions a week ago. In
the meantime they have been digest
ing the VoluminouS testimony ad-
duced by the senate oil investigating
committee, studying the official rec
ords In the transfer and lease of the
naval reserves, conducting indepen-
dent investigations and preparing
the first move to be made in prose-
cutions, both criminal and civil, in
the oil lease cases.
No intimation as to the first move
that would be made was given by
Mr.. Pomerene. although it was be-
lieved that he discussed the proposed
action with the president and also
acquainted the executive with the
steps thus far made by the counsel.
Two separate proceedings are eX-
pected; one directed towards enjoin-
ing the further extraction of oil from
Teapot Dome and Elk Hills leases,
and the other toward annullment of
those leases. The possible criminal
Proceedings which would undoubted-
ly be inaugurated through calling of
special grand jury. are expected to
follow the undertakings on the civil
side,
