Huge Statue of Christ
Erected Atop Mountain

From its vantage point atop 1876
foot Mount Cristo Rey, a huge
carved stone statue of Christ looks
down on the winding Rio Grande.
Its peaceful face turned eastward
toward Ell Paso, Texas, the figure
of Christ reigning from the Cross is
the largest statue of The Nazarene
on the North American continent,
topped only by the monolithic statue
of the Sacred Heart in Rio de
Janeiro.
The 45-toot monument was carved
from white Texas limestone by Ur-
bici Sober, who also worked on the
statue of the Sacred Heart. It re-
places an iron cross erected on top
the mountain three years ago.
Located in the weSternmost tip of
Texas, the $4,000 monument is Just
a few miles from the southern bor-
der of New Mexico and almost
touches the boundary between the
United States and Mexico.
The statue was erected as shrine
for the faithful of this land of the
pass where mule trains of Spanish
conQuistadores and padres paused to
rest long years ago at the foot of a
towering peak-giving it the name
of Serro Mulero, mountain of the
mules. 1t is now called Sierra del
Christie Rey, Mountain of Christ the
King.
A bit below the top a wide place
has been leveled to form an outdoor
auditorium. A double stairway
leads from it to the base of the
cross. Along the steep pathway up
the mountain side shrines and affairs
have been constructed as hating
places for pilgrimages to the top.
The 27-foot figure of Christ, arms
outstretched, rests upon a globe sup
ported by a bank of stone clouds.
They in turn are piled on the nine
foot base. The cross, made of "a
blocks of quarried and polished lime
stone, has q poured concrete core
and stands behind the Christ as
structural support.

Brazos Dam Will Flood
Historic Texas Region

MINERAL WELLS, TEXAS.-A
rugged section of Texas, rich in his
tory, will be inundated this year
when engineers begin filling up the
lake behind Postum Kingdom dam,
on the twisting Brazos river near
here.
Eight hundred men are building
the giant dam and their work is to
be completed next spring, although
IL other dams are planned to har-
ness the Brazos, largest and most
destructive river in the state. The
lake behind the dam will cover 49,
800 acres in Palo Pinto, Stephens
and Young counties. Pickwick, q
pioneer village five miles northwest
of the dam, will be Is feet under
water.
Pickwick was trading post half a
century ago for Sui Ross, the ranch
man-Texas ranger captain who in
almost legendary figure of Indian
fighting days. The river valley to
be inundated is so inaccessible in
most places that Indians and South
west bad men" were among its
most frequent inhabitants.

Ohio Mayor as Archer
New Rival of Robin Hood

VERMILION, OHIO, When
Leonard Osberg, mayor of Vermil-

ably hits his mark-because he is
a crack archer.
He wings five arrows into a space
no larger than a 25-cent piece at
a distance of 40 feet. Robin Hood
himself couldn't have topped that.
There just isn't room for more than
five arrows there.

said in discussing hunting, 'fthat an

a knife, kills much more humanely
than a bullet"

Auto Charges Farmer

TWIN VALLEY, MINN.-To Carl
Lucken, Red River valley farmer, an

Yet Lucken, according to the
Twin Valley hot stove league, ex-
ecuted the most spectacular-and

denly balky, got out to crank it.

crushed between the car and a sub

His back literally to the wall,
Lucken crouched, then plunged

There was a crash as the car,

tracks.
Garagemen said repairs to the
radiator grill would run about $l2.

Shave Literally Close
In Crossing Accident

GILROY, CALF. -. Because q
train was going so fast when it
struck an automobile near here, the
drivers life probably was saved.
Crossing the intersection at dusk,
Gilbert Atnip said he failed to see
the limited until it was too close. He
applied his brakes, and the front
end of his truck came to rest on the
tracks.
The result was a clean shave
slicing off the radiator and front
part of the light truck.
Witnesses believe that if the train
had been proceeding slower, it
would have dragged the car several
feet-probably killing Atnip, who es-
capped without injury.

Tackle Mystery Of
Dead Man on Peak
Legend of Frozen Body Is
To Be Looked Into.

REVELSTOKE, B. Can expedi-
tion to clear up the 74-year-old mys-
terry of the dead man of Mount
Begble" may be sponsored by the
Revelstoke board of trade next sum-
mer.
After "a years the rumor still per-
slsts that the frozen body of an ad-
venturous climber was to be seen
on the frozen slopes of 9,OOO-foot
Mount Begbie in the Canadian
Rockies, encased in a deep crevasse
near the summit.
Actual proof has never been fur
nlshed in connection with the story,
but legends die hard in the West
and the old tale emanating from the
Indians still lives.
Many mountaineers VOW they
have seen the frozen body en-
balmed in the side of the crevasse,
while many more VOW with equal
fervor the whole tale is but another
Indian legend.
Two theories exist among pro-
ponents of the tale. Some insist the
unfortunate mystery man was a
French-Canadian prospector, one of
a group of three who worked the
district in the early sixties.
Another version is that he was a
Salish Indian who climbed the peak
to locate new hunting grounds for
his tribe, pressed by the coming of
the whites.
The first white man to report the
tale, according to local historians,
was the late ]. c. Montgomery,
British Columbia pioneer. who
came up the Columbia river in 1866
as a crew member of the historic
stern-wheeler Forty-Nine, carrying
gold miners to the Big Bend gold
fields. Montgomery then was told
the tale by Indians.
SkepticS assert it improbable that
anyone would be near the summit
of the peak at that time. No self
respecting Indian would be found
on the top of such mountain, they
contend, this form of sport being
looked upon by them as violent
form of insanity.
However, when the Big Bend high
way opens in July the Revelstoke
board of trade will sponsor a climb
ing party that will attempt to prove
or diSprove the story.

Horn Thro,us Light
On Indian Culture
NeW Facts about Ancient
HOpeicellianS Found.

Observation-Disclosures light on the
art techniques of the mysterious
Hopewell people, the Mound Build
ers of the Middle West, comes from
the accidental discovery near Kan
SaS City of an almost intact speci-
men of the instrument with which
they made their intricate geometric
and other designs on pottery.
It is a deer horn, with notches
cut in its elliptical bottom. so that
il constitutes a roulette. BY roll
ing" this over the unbaked clay
vessel the Mound Builder artist was
able to produce easily designs which
would have been very difficult to
make with a stamp.
The find was made by H. M.
Trowbridge of Kansas City and sent
to the Smithsonian institution, where
it was welcomed by anthropologists
as the solution of a problem over
which there has been much contro-
verSy.
DR.. Waldo R. Wedel of the Smith
sonian staff, using the instrument
in the laboratory, was able to dupE-
cate almost perfectly the style Of
decoration found on pottery frag-
ments recovered from the Kansas
City area This is on the periphery
of the Mound Builder territory.
Very similar markings, however,
are found on artifacts recovered
from sites of the highest develop
ment of these people.
The Hopewell people represented
in central North America the high
est development of aboriginal civili-
cation, comparable to that of the
Maya in Yucatan and the Aztecs
around Mexico City, although prob
ably not so far advanced Unlike
the others, however, all traces of
them are prehistoric. The Mayas,
the Aztecs, and the pueblo builders
of the Southwest were flourishing
when the white man came, and their
descendants in the direct line are
still living.
But nobody knows what became
of the Hopewellians. There are not
even any Indian legends about
them. 1t is highly unlikely that
they disappeared without trace.
They must be represented in the
ancestry of some living tribes. ALI
efforts to connect their culture with
that of any extant people, however,
have ended in failure.
