LOOKING BACKWARD Taken from the "Indians of Warners Ranch" by Joseph J. Hill. The people came from the north under the leadership of Tumaiyowit and Mukat. Different groups settled here and there. The Kauval settled at Saboda. (Saboda Hot Springs.) The Cupeno first settled three miles southwest of Kupa. They brought with them a green, hair-like water plant as their (hot) water supply. Wherever they placed this, they had boiling water. From their first place of settlement they saw that the sun always shone at Kupa, so they moved over there. At their first settlement the sun went down early, and it was cold. The Cupeno were once completely annihilated by enemies. Only the Diegueno wife of one man and his infant son escaped the massacre, which was carried out by seven or eight surrounding tribes. The attackers surprised the Cupeno, clubbed them to death and burned their houses. They called to this Diegueno woman to come out of her burning house. She did so carrying her babe in her arms. She said it was a baby girl, and both she and it were spared. It was really a boy. The baby boy who thus escaped massacre was of the coyote moiety. Hoboyak was his name; it means "capable of doing anything." He grew amazingly. His mother took him to San Felipe. He hunted and killed rabbits, but others took them from him. His mother asked, "Cannot you kill something, mice or something?" He told his mother toward Cahuilla Reservation, to Wiatava. They remained there for a while. One day while the mother pounded seeds Hoboyak slipped away. She had always kept him within sight before. He ran far and saw a bears tracks. He returned and told his mother. "Mother you cannot guess what I saw," She named everything except the bear. The young man answered, "No," to each. She could think of no other animal. Then she said, "There is nothing else." The young man said, "The tracks were like those of a man." The mother said, "That is a bear." Hoboyak said, "That is the one Mother, I am going to kill that bear." She objected, saying that the bear was dangerous and killed many people. Hoboyak made a bow and arrows and slipped away again. He tracked the bear and found it. They fought. The bear jumped repeatedly at the youth, but he always stepped aside. At last, the bear went by him, he drove the arrow into its heart. He skinned the bear and took home the hide. He carried the hide under his arm and showed it to his mother. He said, "I will show you something else." He told his mother to sit on the bear-hide, behind him. It became a bear and carried them. He stopped the bear and it became a hide again. "Mother, I am not afraid to attack anyone. With you and my bear, we can kill many people. We shall now go straight home." Then they went toward Kupa. The mother retarded progress as much as possible. When close to Kupa Hoboyak stole away for a hot bath. The mother objected to approaching any closer to Kupa. Hoboyak remonstrated, "Mother, I want my place. I have seen my eagle (aswut) my rabbit (suic)." Airline stewardess Jean DVID—very important delegatevention in Philadelphia. It cot, all decked out and eyewitness up in Chicago en bud is probably more knees. As regards food, the Cuilo like most Indians of California almost anything that can hand, from grasshoppers grubs to deer; almost anything the way of seeds, from a down; and various kinds of grasses. Acorns were the staple food. Of these there several varieties in the mout round about. But they used of these obtained from Kei black oak. The bitterness leached out with hot water, which they became palatable when ground into meal and ed. Grasshoppers were very tiful in San Jose valley (the She did so carrying her babe in her arms. She said it was a baby girl, and both she and it were spared. It was really a boy. The baby boy who thus escaped massacre was of the coyote moiety. Hoboyak was his name; it means "capable of doing anything." He grew amazingly. His mother took him to San Felipe. He hunted and killed rabbits, but others took them from him. His mother asked, "Cannot you kill something, mice or something?" He told his mother that others took his game from him. She informed him that the San Felipe people were not his kin. She said, "Kupa is your home, but your kin has all been killed. Over there is your water, your hot water, your rabbit, your eagle." When his mother said this, the boy replied, "I am going to see my eagle, my water, my rabbit, and my home" he fell to thinking about it, and people saw that there was something wrong with him. They asked his mother what the trouble was. The woman told her son of relatives at Soboda, men of his moiety, the coyote moiety. She pounded all sorts of seed for food. One night she and her son stole away. From Soboda the people saw the mother and the boy approaching when they were as far away as Hemet. They said, "There comes a man and his wife. Who can they be?" An old man, who had been indoors until now, stepped out and asked who came. He looked and at one glance knew that the others were wrong. "They are a mother and her son," he said. He recognized them while they were still as far away as Hemet (four miles). The woman told the Saboda people of the fate of the people of Kupa. Hoboyak killed more rabbits than any one else. He employed two kinds of throwing-sticks in hunting rabbits. One was straight, and is called wakat; it was an ordinary stick broken from a bush. The other was a curved throwing-stick called nilyak. (Could it have been a boomerang?) The mother and son remained at Saboda for a while. The young man was restless. He wished to go to his own country. Again his mother pounded seeds and they stole away at night. They went along the moun- "Mother, I am not afraid to attack anyone. With you and my bear, we can kill many people. We shall now go straight home." Then they went toward Kupa. The mother retarded progress as much as possible. When close to Kupa Hoboyak stole away for a hot bath. The mother objected to approaching any closer to Kupa. Hoboyak remonstrated, "Mother, I want my place. I have seen my eagle (aswut), my rabbit (suic). They camped twice in unsatisfactory places. Then they came to a tongue of land, two miles west of Kupa, from which they could see a long way on both sides. From here Hoboyak went daily to a place half-a-mile from Warner's Ranch, where women gathered seed. Women saw him daily and reported to their families, who would not believe them, because they knew that no one lived at Kupa. At last a man came to see if the reports of the women were true. He saw the young man pass. Each day, however, Hoboyak had a different appearance, thus making the spectators think that many people lived at Kupa. All of the surrounding peoples planned to kill the Cupenos whom they imagined lived again at Kupa. As the people watched, Hoboyak appeared in different forms, always from the same hut. They approached closer, under cover. From his hill (the tongue of land, which was about fifty feet high) Hoboyak saw them. He approached them, carrying his bear-skin and asked them to wait. When close enough, he slung the bear skin at them. It became a real bear and attacked them. Hoboyak shot them. His mother clubbed the wounded. All but one of the attackers were killed. Hoboyak told the survivor to go and tell his people that the score had been settled. Hoboyak killed his last man by striking his head against an oak tree. The tree and place today are called Tubasalpokbo (pronounce it if you can), meaning "Where one man's head was pounded." As regards material culture, the Cupenos were similar to their neighbors — the Dieguenos, the Luisenos and the Cahuillas. They all manufactured pottery, but of a brittle, porous variety. This, however, was an achievement shared only by the Mojaves, of all the tribes of the state. So, also, is the manufacture of cloth-like textiles made from the fibers of milk weed, mescal, and nettle, this grubs to deer; almost anything the way of seeds, from a down; and various kinds of grasses. Acorns were the staple food. Of these there several varieties in the mountain round about. But they used of these obtained from Kelb black oak. The bitterness leached out with hot water, which they became palatable when ground into meal and ed. Grasshoppers were very tiful in San Jose valley (the valley of Warners ranch) formed an important article diet. They were driven into after which a fire was built them and they were killed roasted at the same time eaten without preparation. Various methods of coarse were used, such as boiling, frying, etc. One method which made use of quite frequent cooking such game as rabbits and squirrels, as also some pigs was to dig a pit into which a number of rocks were placed. A was then built over them kept burning until the stones heated through. The articles cooked were then placed on hot rocks and the whole coat with dirt and left till they was cooked. Certain animals and birds not eaten among those being bear, the tree squirrel, the hen, wild pigeons and owl Bears were occasionally killed their skin and claws present but their flesh was never found There seems to have been no ally some compunction eating deer. The following explains the situation: Some thought deer would good to eat. They could kill and have a gathering and eat the meat to eat. They spoiled deer about it, but he said he was a shaman and very painful. He had something in his like the black asphalt on the shore, and this would protect (the black asphalt was a Chungichnish object). Then laid on the ground one of the red stones (enormous cry) said they would kill him them. But Deer said—No, he some of that too (the white of the deer looks like that) they could not kill with them Then they laid down one o VACATION SNAPSHOTS are easy when you have proper EQUIPMENT For that and the advice on how to use it—go to LEO'S CAMERA MART 106 S.

So, also, is the manufacture of cloth-like textiles made from the fibers of milk weed, mescal, and nettle, this group of tribes were the only ones of the state which had achieved any success. They manufactured baskets, some of which were sufficiently tight to hold water. In regard to these woven baskets the early settlers of the Coachella Valley (1900-1) found some of them. I think they were in the caves on the west side of the valley. If I remember right the Hayward ranch near Thermal had some at that time on posts several feet above the ground, to hold grain, for a large stock of turkeys that they raised on their ranch. It is now a fine Date palm ranch. The houses in the Warner ranch district, built by the Indians, were conical in form, being built by first digging a pit about two feet deep and then setting a number of poles in the ground around the outside and bringing them together at the top. Smaller poles were then leaned against these, and the whole covered with brush, or the bark of trees, and sometimes with dirt. An opening in the top permitted the smoke to escape. Most of the cooking was done out of doors, the fire being built inside only during cold or wet weather. On such occasions the fire would be built in the center, and at night the inmates would sleep around it with their feet towards it. Sometimes the entrance was through a covered passage through which one crawled some distance on hands and Grooming for Convention Airline stewardess Jean Heffernan lends a helping hand to a DD—very important delegate—to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

But Rosebud is probably more interested in oats than votes. Besides food, the Cupenos, most Indians of California, almost anything that came to aid, from grasshoppers and bugs to deer; almost anything in way of seeds, from acorns on; and various kinds of plants in grasses. Acorns were the mostole food. Of these there were general varieties in the mountains and about. But they used most these obtained from Kellogg's kool-oak. The bitterness was shed out with hot water, after which they became palatable food on ground into meal and cook-Grasshoppers were very plenial in San Jose valley (the main plane at 10,000 feet with a pair of wings strapped to his body and soar down to 400 feet altitude when he will attempt to use a parachute for the rest of his descent.

Demand Good For 5 Pound Orange Bags While the small sizes which constitute more than half the California Valencia crop were blamed for the recession in both volume and prices last week, a developing interest in small, Valencias in bags is reported. Outside California the demand is almost entirely for 5 pound bags instead of the 7 pound bags which was the prevailing size last year. While shippers were watching this development with interest, the California Fruit Growers Exchange reported that up to last week the volume of fruit sold in bags was comparatively light. It amounted to no more than 90 to 100 cars. One of the reasons has been a shortage of bags. But this week the shortage was reported over and packing houses will resume filling orders. Dallas and Denver where the trade specialized in bagged fruit last year, expects this year that a big percentage of their total volume would be sold in bags. Dixon W.
