ANCIENT POPULATION OF NEW MEXICO In his article on American Archaeology in Harpers for January, Dr. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale discusses the interesting question as to whether our southwestern states ever were densely populated. "How long were the ruins of the southwest inhabited? and, How dense was the population in ancient times? Some of the best archaeologists have strongly insisted that appearances are deceitful. The hundreds, and indeed thousands, of sites and ancient villages in Colorado, the Texas Panhandle, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, as well as in similar parts of northern Mexico, were not all inhabited at one time, so they tell us. Most represent mere temporary stopping places where migratory bands of a people supposed to have been the ancestors of the Indians settled for a few years and then moved on. At the outside limit, so say these archaeologists, the entire population never amounted to more than a few score thousands, whose civilization was of the lowest and most significant type. Other students fewer in number than the orthodox school, hold that the majority of the ruins were all occupied at the same time and for century after century. They say that the population of the arid southwest must have amounted to hundreds of thousands—decidedly more, in all probability, than the country supports today. Furthermore if this were so, although the type of civilization may have been most primitive compared with ours, yet it bala, Mrs. M. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Handy, Mrs. Wm. Corft, Mrs. M.

ZEUS TO THE FRONT Berkeleyans who attended the chamber of commerce prosperity dinner Tuesday night are exhibiting with considerable pride the artistic menu and program booklet, printed by the Lederer, Street & Zeus Co. The cover, an artistic alligator skin paper of a cream color, was embellished with a picture of Bishop Berkeley, for whom the city is named. Inside, Joaquin Miller's poem to Berkeley, the menu, and the toasts, as well as the list of officers of the chamber, each occupied a separate page, handsomely printed and each page surrounded by tinted borders. The book was bound with a brown silk cord, and altogether formed one of the most attractive souvenir programs ever turned out by a Berkeley printer.—Berkeley Independent. AN OLD OFFENDER Constable Jackson of Santa Ana has found that Dick Sharp, held to answer in the superior court on a charge of burglary, is a man for whom he has a warrant given him in 1910. Sharp is held for stealing pencils out HIS HOUSEKEEPING He had written his wife that he was getting along "fine and dandy" while she was spending a month with her mother, and he was more than ever convinced that housekeeping was no trick at all. Her comments on reaching home were along this line: "Why, Harry Clatterby, didn't you know any better than to fry eggs in the pan of my silver scallop dish? You have ruined the thing. And in the name of common sense did you mean by putting the eggs in a cut-glass honey dish, after they were fried? If I ever in my life——And what have you been wiping the dishes on? My best embroidered tray cloth. And you have been using one of my choicest embroidered initial napkins for a dish cloth. Look at it. As black as my shoes. And what have you been trying to cook in my chafing dish? Beefsteak? The idea of frying beefsteak in a silver chafing dish. Why didn't you use the solid silver bread tray? Looks as if you had put the beefsteak in it after you had fried it. And here is my handsome, cut-glass celery dish full of cold and greasy fried potatoes. And what is this on the diningroom most significant type. Other students fewer in number than the orthodox school, hold that the majority of the ruins were all occupied at the same time and for century after century. They say that the population of the arid southwest must have amounted to hundreds of thousands—decidedly more, in all probability, than the country supports today. Furthermore if this were so, although the type of civilization may have been most primitive compared with ours, yet it was by no means so low as that of the modern Indians. It must have been of the same grade as that of early Babylonia, Egypt, Palestine or Greece, before the art of writing was invented. People who could dwell peacefully for centuries in large permanent communities, and could build great communal houses and long systems of canals, were by no means untutored savages. Civil order and submission to the will of the majority must have been as well developed among them as among us. Such view leads one to believe that, if only we could trace it, the history of the primitive Indians would prove quite as interesting, and to us possibly more interesting than that of the early Oriental peoples to whom our schools devote so much time and our millionaires so much money." AN OLD OFFENDER Constable Jackson of Santa Ana has found that Dick Sharp, held to answer in the superior court on a charge of burglary, is a man for whom he has a warrant given him in 1910. Sharp is held for stealing pencils out of the La Habra schoolhouse. He was caught in the act, and will be prosecuted on that charge. The warrant held by Jackson was issued on the complaint of Fred Wilkes, a rancher on the San Joaquin. In 1910 Sharp, then tramping through the country, was given a job by Wilkes. Wilkes sent him in to Santa Ana to get a bicycle that Wilkes had left at a bicycle shop to be repaired. Sharp failed to return with the bicycle. Wilkes has identified the man in jail as the man who worked for him. Sharp admits taking the bicycle, and says he sold it near Riverside for $4. BOY DROWNED AT BREA Henry E. Dougall, the 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Dougall, was drowned in a reservoir near Brea on Sunday morning about 11 o'clock. It is believed by the boy's parents and Coroner Winbigler that the boy fell in an epileptic fit, rolled on down the embankment of the reservoir and was drowned while unconscious. The Dougall family has been living in a tenthouse. Harry has been subject to epilepsy for several years. Sunday morning about 11 o'clock he said that he was going to take a walk, and he was seen going toward the reservoir. Between 12 and 1 o'clock Dougall called loudly for the boy to come to dinner. Getting no answer, he went to the reservoir and found the body in the water close to the bank. It was evident that the boy and fallen in a fit and had rolled down the embankment.

And don't you know any better than to tie a $20 lace curtain into a knot like they sometimes tie the tail of a horse? Nice way to use a curtain. And my heayens, couldn't you do a little simple cooking without getting the ashes strewn for 6 feet around the range? Well, if this is what you call getting along fine and dandy, I wonder how things would have looked if you hadn't gotten along very well? ADVERTISED LETTERS Mrs. E. F. Grane, Mrs. E. S.Shield Mrs. W.

Second Youth—That's so. A birch has warmed me many a time. A COLOR TRANSITION An aged colored man was engaged in burning grass off the lawn of a young broker when the latter returned to his home and, thinking to have some fun with the old man, he said: "Sambo, if you burn that grass the entire lawn will be as black as you are."

LIVE LOCAL HAPPENINGS Clem Amberg speaking of the recent cold weather in New York, where he lived for eighteen years before coming to Anaheim, related an incident happening in 1895, when the thermometer reached four degrees above zero. Mr. Amberg crossed the East river on a ferry boat after spending the day with New York friends, and was on his way to Brooklyn at midnight, when the vessel stuck in the ice, which swept in from the ocean. The boat remained wedged in the ice all night, and tugs had to be sent to break the ice and release her. That was the coldest night Mr. Amberg ever experienced in the eastern metropolis, and had he known of the glorious climate of California would have left immediately for this State, instead of waiting a number of years before coming to the land of sunshine. Tom Hill, a member of the city board of trustees of Stanton, was a visitor in town the other day, and found just as many friends here as he ever had, if not a few more.

The rear screen door at Oliver Hill's residence on East Broadway was cut by some unknown party on Monday evening. Mrs. Hill was absent from her home at the time. She returned shortly after 8 o'clock with Mr. Hill, and it is presumed the intruder was frightened away. The cut in the screen was discovered next morning. It was nearly two feet in length. Two complaints were sworn to on Monday morning by Savala against Jose Rincon of the local Mexican colony. Savala says that Rincon while intoxicated disturbed the neighborhood in various ways.
