PLAN TO ASSEMBLE
CLIFF JEWELLERS
AnthropoIogiSts Will Try to
Reconstruct Prehistoric Peo-
pie for National Museum.

The first attempt ever made to re-
historic people in their natural sur
roundings is about to be completed by
two Washington anthropologists.
A group of San Juan River cliff
dwellers, ancestors of the Pueblo In
dams of southeastern Utah, will be
added in February to the famous col
lection of models in the National Mu-
scum, depicting the customs and
habitats of savage races The Indian
scene was designed by Neil NJ. Judd,
curator Of American archaeology of
the Smithsonian Institution and exc
cuted by William H. Egberts, archie,
illogical sculptor of the museum, who
are putting the finishing touches on
the exhibit after months of painstak-
ing research and craftsmanship.
Prehistoric Mother.
A prehistoric mother making pot
terry, squatting outside her cliff dwell
ing, as she watches her youngest child
playing with horned toad, while an
older son leans out of a window,
munching corn, constitutes the new
show case display. This domestic
group is based upon indisputable facts,
according to Mr.. Judd, as a result of
accurate information CLEANED from
prehistoric Indian skeletons. garments
and utensils, leaving very little to con-
lecture regarding the early inhab-
itanus of Utah.
The figures of the three models
were posed from life, with proper
physical notifications, while the faces
were copied from skull contours and
photographs of their modern counter
parts. The models are made of plaster
of paris. reinforced with iron and
burlap. and tinted with oil paint The
section of the hut is made Of real
adobe. mud and sandstone. The
mother wears a willow bark skirt
cured by the Pueblos, while the chill
dren are clad in loin cloths reproduced
from remnants of the original fabrics.
The pottery is of prehistoric manu-
facture recently unearthed.
Were Peaceful Folk.
The San Juan cliff jewellers We're
sedentary. peaceful folk, Mr. Judd
said, whose main industry was the
cultivation of corn, their staple diet.
They also subsisted on beans, squash,
and desert grass seed. The only
domestic animals they possessed were
dogs and turkeys, while beasts of
burden were unknown to them.
Unlike other cliff jewellers, the pre-
historic tribe smoked pipes only for
ceremonial purposes. A tubular pipe
like a cigar holder containing dried
desert plants, was puffed during
droughts as a religious invocation
Stimulating rain clouds. The ancient
cliff jewellers left many imprints OF
their earthly sojourn in hieroglyphics
on the San Juan River canyon walls,
but they remain undecipherable to
modern scholars.

SEATTLE, Sept. i. (P-Serator Frank B.

While the scenery is wonderful, Americans generally, are paying little attention to the great coal, mineral, lumber, oil, fish and fur industries and none whatever to the agriculture future. When we awake to the immensity of the Territory's natural resources, which have scarce ly been scratched, it will come into it's own. Nobody knows the extent of it's wealth.
