ers of the evening was Ernest ].
Peoples, of Wilmington, president of
the State Union, who outlined very
briefly the program for the coming
State c. E. Convention, which will
take place in Dover, October II and
Is. He urged all Endeavor Societies
to send delegates. Miss Dorothy H..
Krauss, general secretary of the
State Union, spoke of the monthly
service program, told of its merits
and pointed out the value of the def
mite plans offered therein. Herbert
S. Lilley State Alumni Superintend-
ent, explained the purpose of Alumni
Councils and told of the wonderful
benefit of having such a council in a
church. The last speaker was the
field secretary for Delaware and
Maryland, who spoke on Trouble
VS.. PUSH" telling the endeavorers
how to meet the troubles and how to
get push into the work.
Mr.. Wright awarded the attend
ance banner of the Union, to the
Providence C. e. Society, which had
an attendance of over $3.50 at both
the roll, calls. This society is less
than six months old. Groome Memoir
ial M. P. Church ranked second in
attendance and the Cannon Inter

off the banner twice, ranked third.
There were about two hundred and
fifty persons present at both ses-

room will be shower baths for the
use of the tiremen after q fire.
Adjoining the truck room in the
rear there extends a corridor. en-
trance to which is gained from the
Railroad avenue side. Lockers and
other equipment will be installed in
that place. Still travelling toward the
back of the building, the Observer
will come to the large gymnasium
This will be 40 feet by 65 feet in
size. 1t will have a 16 foot ceiling
and a maple floor on sleepers bed
ded in concrete. 1t will be finished
in pointed brick and concrete cell
ing. In the rear of the gymnasium
will be the boiler room and large
kitchen for use should the gymnas-
ium be used for social purposes. This
feature Of the building will add much
to its usefulness to the public. It is
the purpose of the firemen to allow
the use of the gymnasium and euuip-
ment by the children of the town un-
der proper supervision and restric-
tions.
Immediately above the corridor
will be mezzanine floor which will
extend around the gymnasium.
Above the gymnasium will be locat-
ed large ball room or assembly
hall for public conventions. This !
will be 40 feet by 65 feet in size with
a ceiling of 16 feet height. The room |
will be finished with plaster walls |
and metal ceilings. In the rear will |
be kitchens, retiring rooms for la
dies and storage rooms for lodge |
equipment or other purposes.
Above the truck room will be To-
Gated a service mans room, uniform
room, toilets, billiard and pool room,
card room and reading room for the
members of the company. A large
meeting room will be provided for
other organizations having the COM
munity's interest at heart, and. also
a room for meeting and business
purposes for the active members Of
the fire company.
The firemen have one large space
in the building which they will allot
for the use of a public library if the
citizens Of the town so desire. In
fact the members of the Carlisle Fire
Company are having the building
constructed with the sole idea that
it shall become a community centre,
about which the civic affairs of the
town will revolve, and provide a
healthy, clean, moral surrounding
for the youth of the town who may
become affiliated with it through it's
gymnasium. They have announced
that they are more than willing that
the entire building shall be used ex-
for community purposes
with the exception of the truck room
and meeting room for the active
members.
The shell of the building, not
equipped will cost between $4,000
and 100000. This is much less than
the first estimated cost. The equip
ment, however, will add several
thousands of dollars to this total.
Milford may be well be proud of the y
Carlisle Fire Company and the fine
spirit it is displaying in
he building of this wonderful build
ng here. It will be a model from I
which other towns may well pat 7
ern.

any school Of any character in the
state.
There were exactly one hum
dred pupils enrolled at HoteviIIa
during the past year. There
were 1872 school days. The at
tendance record of every one of
those pupils was perfect 100 per
cent for the entire year.
That shows health conditions must
have been excellent and speaks well
for the management by Sam Duvall,
the quiet-mannered Kentuckian who
IS the superintendent, and for his as
sistants, Only six years ago, a for
mer superintendent complained to the
writer that he had to go out every
morning and forceably enter some of
the homes and drag the children out
to school, carrying along six-gun to
shoot the dogs the Indians set on him.
Duvall has a pleasanter and more eff
fective system.
The Hotevilla schooI-rooms are
pleasant, extremely clean well-equipp-
ed, and the walls are covered with
scores of interesting specimens of the
children's handiwork, ranging all the
way from baskets and pottery to dolls
and drawings.
There are no mission schools at any
Of the villages.
There are a good many government
employees busy at the various vii
lagos. Each school has its superin-
tendeBt. Then there are the assis-
tant teachers, laundress, seamstress,
blacksmith, stoclman, electrician, auto
mechanic, property clerk, and other
minor employees.
There is a physician at Keams Can
yon and one at Oraibi At the former
place is a fully equipped hospital,
with nurses.
There are several people there all
or a part Of the time representing
other bureaus of the government.
For instance, the vetinarians and U.
S. irrigation service men.
In this latter connection, it is noted
that there are 80 windmills on the
drawing water from wells
that average ITO feet in depth. The
Indian service has nothing to do with
The Coconino sun., 1924-08-29

and part of their supplies bought here.
Hotevilla's elevation is around
5000 feet. At Keams canyon it is
nearer 1000 feet.
The country north of the villages is
full of good coal. This coal field is
said to be larger than that around
Gallup and undoubtedly within few
years will be developed. The fuel
used in the government is coal, one
or more miners being kept on the pay
roll to get it out.
The Hopis and Navajos get along
we'll together. The former aressad-
mittedly more intelligent and take
more readily to education and the
customs and mannerisms of the
whites. They are a cleaner. and much
more prepossessing people than the
Navajos The latter live mostly in
small, filthy hogans, built of clay
plastered over brush, with poor venti-
lation. White people as a rule keep
their animals in far better quarters.
The Hopis have substantial stone and
mortar dwellings,, built together in
series, each family having one large,
well-ventilated room, which at Hote-
villa and Bicaibi, at any rate, is usual
ly clean, sometimes scrupulously so.
Chairs and tables are seldom seen.
But modern cookstoyes are becoming
common, as is also the .henryford.
Bicabi is reported to be the clean
est OF the Hopi villages. Most Of the
villages consists of parallelogram of
one-story stone dwellings surrounding
large court. Each room, or dwell
ing, has window or two and a door
opening to the central court. At the
rear of each is a small backyard,
with a low stone wall, where fuel,
farm utensils, etc, are stored. The
roofs are flat, supported by round
timbers, on which are laid an outer
stone coping and a thick layer Of
brush topped with clay, hard packed.
The floors are of clay almost as hard
as cement. Everything was found to
be clean. Even the streets and court
were entirely free Of refuse of any
kind. The villagers were keeping
open house. One could walk
in anywhere he chose, usually being
received with q smile and sometimes
greeted in good English.

Compared with the Navajo reseIva-
tion, the land set apart for the Hopis
is a comparatively small tract. In
deed we out here usually think of it
as small reservation. That shows
that it takes something pretty big to
make an impression on US. 1t Will
surprise you to know that the Hopi
reservation is a tiny little parcel Of
land only 76 miles across one way by
Sc miles across the other way. Larger
than some of the states in the union,
the edge Of it within half-day's auto
ride of Flagstaff, most of it lying in
in our neighboring county to the east
-Navajo-still nearly any Flagstaff
person would tell you as guess that
it is small.
It is nearly surrounded by the Ma
vajo reservation, OF which it formerly
was a part. 1t was set aside to the
Hopis by treaty in 1868. The villages
it contains were there then. Then,
as now, about half the Indians occu-
pying it, Of whom there are 5000 in
all, were Nayajos.
But the Navajos are widely scat
tered. More nomadic by nature, they
nave no NIlidS6S. IIiG I1OplS pl e1OtA-
cally all live in villages and aside
from the white employees Of the gov
eminent and 2 few traders make up
the entire population of those villages.
The reservation is a parallelogram,
its boundaries straight imaginary
lines not conforming to topography.
There are a few Hopi villages out
side of the boundaries of the Navajo
reservation, but generally speaking,
most of that tribe live on the Hopi
reservation and in its quaint villages.
The villages are scattered out in a
general southeasterly and northwest
erly direction on a series of mesas,
parts of an irregularly- table
land considerably higher than the
country Immediately surrounding, to
which the descent is in some places
precipitous and in all cases pretty
steep.
/ This tableland has several fingers
as its mesas are sometimes called, and
each finger is occupied by one or
more of the Hopi villages. Beginning
in the northwest, the first village is |

The question came up as to the
many turquoise ornaments the Hopis
wear and have for sale. Contrary to
general belief, these turquoise are not
mined in Hopi land. 1t seems that
over in New Mexico there is a big
turquoise mine which has been left in
charge of caretakers by the eastern
capitalists owning it. Every once in
a while some one from that state, sup
posed to be one of the caretakers or
someone representing them, shows up
at the villages with lot Of tourquoise
which the Hopis buy.

IN THE LAND OF THE HOPIS

There is only one room at Chimopiva,
the smallest village Of the lot. This
coming session will find three rooms
busy at Toreva school, which takes
care of the Indian children of the viii
lagos of Mushongiva and Shopoliva.
The school at Polacca has always had
three rooms.
Attendance at the schools is uni
formly good. But it remained for the
one at Hotevilla, always until recent

airy village on the reservation, to set
new high record, not only for the
other Hopi schools but, perhaps, for

are the prevailing style of architec-
ture in The villages. This lower
village is called New Oraibi This
series of villages-Hotevilla, Bicabi
and Oraibi--are on what is called the
Oraibi or Third Mesa.
To the east a few miles is Second
Mesa and the villages Of Mushongiva
and Shopoliva, quarter-mile apart.

of from a quarter to several miles,
come Chimopiva, Polacca (Old Walpi)

lages, and with agency headquarters,

east on this mesa is Old Oraibi, once
important but now pretty much de-
serted, most of its people having NOV.
ed down a mile or so to the lower
country where they are more scatter
ed out, several families living by
themselves on small farms, in some
cases in frame houses, a distinct de-
parture from the stone pueblos which

tant from Hoteyilla.
Midway between Hotevilla and BIZ
cabi is the Hotevilla school and sever
al other weH-built government build
ings, picturesquely situated in a large
grove of cedars. This is a two-room
school, with a superintendent and two
teachers. A third building is nearly
finished, to make it a three-room
school.
Oraibi has a two-room school.
