But vainly the fierce frost Interns poor fish, ranks trees in an armed host, Hangs daggers from house-eaves And on the windows ferny ambush weaves; In the long war grown warmer The sun will strike him dead and strip his armor. r �"Ma 11 ·seibel Bessie Florine Glynn was born in Osceola, Iowa, or August 31, 189~, the daughter of John and Antoinette Glynn. When Bessie was two years old, her family moved to Milwaukee where they lived most of the time until she was married. John, who was a steam shovel engineer, spent most of his time away from home working construction jobs or strip mining in Illinois and Indiana. As amember of a union John would work one job until it. was finished, then he was bumped to the bottom of the list to wait his turn 11 for another project. "It was like Santa Claus everytime he came home, Bessie recalls. · Milwaukee (1896-1920) was in many ways a delightful place to live. It was a big town but not a metropolis. Bessie remembers riding the streetcars, which went everywhere and the Jitney Buses (early versions of the taxi), vehicles of every description which would transport a passenger from any point in the city to any other point for five cents. When Bessie was old enough for school, her mother got a job as fitter in a department store. Bessie became interested in active sports. She enjoyed ice skating and was a member of the girl's basketball team. 11 We were a good team as a rule, but we didn't do so well when we played South Side High. They were all great big Polish girls, so big you couldn't get under, over, or around them," Bessie recalls. The third sport Bessie enjoyed, and the one for which she showed the most promise was sassing the teacher. "I was never able to hold dignitaries in high regard unless they deserved it and most of my teachers did not deserve it," stated Ma. Milwaukee was and is the beer capitol of the world. In that time there was a saloon on every corner. "Ma" says she used to have nightmares about being caught by a drunk, but they never succeeded. Bessie had known Milton Seibel for a long time. He and she had attended the same schools for years. As the two youngsters grew up and entered high school, Bessie and Milton developed new eyes for one another. Bessie recalls being in the same assembly (we call it study hall,today) as Milton. During those endless silent hours Milton occasionally wrote notes, folded them into paper airplanes, and when teacher was~ n't looking, he sailed them to Bessie. The system worked well until one afternoon the guidance system on one of the notes failed and it made a fatal flight onto the teacher's desk. Milton, of course, was kicked out of assembly, but that was only the beginning of his interest in Bessie. In subsequent years they dated frequently going to dances, shows and dining out. Sometimes they would hear Fritz Kreissler in a violin concert, or Madam Melba or Shuman Heinck. Afterwards they would choose a fine restaurant where they ordered all the fine Chinese food they could eat for twenty-five cents. 11 We didn't mooch in the back seat of a car, 11 confides Ma, "beacuse we didn't have a car, but we spent a lot of time sitting on the landing of the strircase in our anartment. The first time Hilton asked me to marry him, I said 1 no'. I remember it clearly. We were reading the "Saturday Evening Post'." Bessie said no that time because America had · just declared war on Gerr1any and Nil ton had volunteered to go. "I didn't want to have a baby and be left alone ~o raise it in case he didn't come back. 11 Bessie and all her sorority friends in Delta Sigma rolled band,1.r.es and knitted socks for the war effort. Bessie was knitting at hc:::e: at work: an the streetcars, everywhere she went. Hilton was gone 22 rr:;cnths. He and Bessie were married as soon as he retlll"ned. �, , .. . The Seibels might have spent the remainder of their lives in Milwaukee had it not been for an aunt in Pagosa Springs who wrote glowing accounts of the opportunities of homesteading and ranching in southwest Colorado.· Their parents and her sorority friends were appalled at t he prospect of moving to the wilderness, but the Seibels were both working· in Milwaukee and getting nowhere, so they were excited at the prospect of an entirely new life. They rode the train to Pagosa s,rings in the su:.r,er of 1919 and bought 160 acres of cut-over dry land 10 ~iles northwest of Pagosa at O'Neill Park. The Seibels started a dairy far:n~·raised alfalfa and some we.eat. Ma hel:Jed Milton in the field when necessary and did fancy work for cash, ifnen Bessie's nother ca~e to visit, life was still pretty rustic on the farm. There w~re no indoor toilets anj all water had to be hauled from a soft water spring on their place. :,rrs Glyn..'1 couldn't understand why a.11.yone would want to live in such circu?nstances, but Bessie felt then and still says, 11 It was all an adventure. The country was beautiful." Their farm was located about half way between the ranches on the upper Piedra and Pagosa. Most evenings some traveler would stop for dinner and would bed down for the night. 11Ma 11 enjoyed the company~ but she finally told one rancher he couldn't come back without his wife. "I was tired of hunting stories. I wanted some woman talk." The first motorized vehicle the Seibels owned was a motorcycle with a side car. There were two kinds of rides on the cycle. Rough and dusty and rough and muddy. On one trip to the upper Piedra, the cycle bogged down to the hubs. Milton and Bessie had to stay the night with an old bachelor who lived nearby. Bessie had always enjoyed working in the field with the horses, but when Milton began buying mechanized equipment, she retired to the house. Besides the boys were growing and beginning to do their share of the work, Willard was the first, Then Glenn. Ed and Don were born. The country schoolhouse for the area was nearby. Most years the schoolteacher would stay with the Seibels. Some of the schoolmarms were first year teachers and were only 18 years old. 11 Ma" says the teachers were very interesting people and ~rovided companionship and good conversation on the long winter evenings. In 1935 Milton and Bessie went into debt $5,000.00 to buy an irrigated farm near Arboles. It made Bessie very uneasy to owe a sum which at that time seemed so enormous. They raised hay, grains, pigs, sheep ?nd cattle. Bessie had a large garden with two-three hundred tomato plants some years. There was lots of work and no vacations until 1952 when they stopped for a few weeks to take a trip to California and Montana and then back to Milwaukee to see old friends. 11 After an extended illness Milton died at home in 1961. Ma 11 still 11 11 lives on the farm near Arboles. Approaching 80 years, I'1a is a fine lady with a generous heart. Time has not dulled her words. She still ha.s the same sassy tongue she took to school in 1910. 11 I ha.ve a tremendous memory-for ridiculous things," Ma states. If you don't believe her, just ask her for a song. Regarding work, she says, 11 I've graduated~ but the word 'go' I like. 11 Sur:,ming up her years in Colorado, i,:a si!nply says, "I would.n' t :::.·.-:: r.issed this e:~:_:ierience for anything. 11 He r;1ight add that it is teca1:.se of peonle like her thnt living in Colorado has been a fine experience. by Shelby Smith ,:. �TUESDAY FEBRUARY 26th SENIOR SOCIAL Welcome to our February Senior Sociall : February 26, 1974 Where: Parish Hall When : 12:00 noon How : Pot luck (bring salads, vegetables, deserts, we'll provide meat and drinks) Entertainment will be by the high school stage Band Date La comida para los maryores sera el dia 26 de febrero a los doce del dia, en la sala de la Igslesia Cato+ica.

Maybe you even know a friend who's been swindled, but you're too smart to be fooled by a bunco scheme. Be honest with yourself for a minute. What would you have done in the following situation° A man with a warm but business-like voice calls you on the phone and says he's with the FBI. He explains that two tellers at your bank are under investigation for pilfering funds, and he needs your cooperation. He asks that you withdraw $2,000 from your account so that he can come by your house, mark the bills and use the money to catch the thieves. Would you withdraw the money1 A woman in Los Angeles did recently, not once but twice, even though she received a warning from her bank. She wasn 1 t just dumb, she was tricked by an expert into falling for the phony bank examiner scheme. "The schemes all sound ridiculous", explains Lt •. William Mossman of the.Los Angeles Police Department bunco-forgery division, "but it must be remembered that in nearly every case we are not dealing with anamateur. The thief j_s n ot given enough credit for being very efficient in what he is doing 11 • The woman in Los Angeles is not alone. Every year~ ccnfidence men and women play upon the greed and ignorance of thousands of people. 1fore often than not, these people are older people - the average victim's age is 65. It's almost impossible to spot con artists. They are well-dressed, gregarious and respectable-looking. And the y have an important advantage over other c1"i minal s. "In all bunc o crime s 11 , says Lt. Moss man'. 11 the confidence man has the benefit of picking the time, the place and the person he is going to work the scheme on". If the professional con artist is hard to spot, the con itself is not - especially if you 're familiar with the stage the criminal is trying to set and keep in mind some common sense dos and don'ts. Information about you is essential in the phony bank examiner scheme and other con games, so never reveal your age or discuss personal finances with strangers. Furthermore, don't be offended if your bank shows an interest when you make a large withdrawal. Bank personnel are trained to be on the lookout for victims of con games. The average person's "touch of 1arceny11 is the important stage element of the most common bunco scheme - the pigeon drop. The Los Angeles Police Department estimates victims lose in excess of $500,000 a year in Los Angeles alone. How is this accomplished? Sixty-seven-yearold Mrs. Jones is gardening in her front yard when an attractive woman call her Miss Smith - engages her in conversation. Soon, another women Miss White - approaches with an envelope containing a large sum of money which she says she just found. A note says that money was earned through the sale of pornographic pictures. Miss white thinks they should keep the money and split it three ways , saying, 11 After all , it was gained through illegal means". Hiss Smith agrees and suggests she check with an attorney friend she knows to make sure this is permissible. She soon returns with the good news that it's all right to keep the money, although the attorney advised her they should protect themselves by placing "good faith security" ih his office. Hiss White suggests that each withdraw $1 ,ooo f~c~ her bank account. They do so and meet in front of the attorney's cffice. All the money is placed in a single envelo~e and ~iss S~itl1 v.·,J.untoers to ta~;:e the r~on.ey into the office. When she re t-i;.rns ~ she t:'.~ ~-s L~·s. Jones that the attorney wants to see her. Ers. Jones gees into the �to office, only find there is no attorney. and Miss White_ and her $1 ,oo ~ are gone. wrong? · When she returns, Miss Smith Where did Mrs. Jones go , She fell for the two con artists' persuasive tactics that it would be all right to keep the money because it was gained through illegal means and she further rationalized that someone in authority - in this case the fictional attorney - said it was all right. Remember, never exoect something for nothing , especially from strangers. If so~ethtngf sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And don't draw cas ou o the bank at the suggestion ot strangers. can happen in La Plata This is printed as a warning to you.

But grandparents have the time to enjoy their grandchildren and express love for them; this , then ~ is what your grandchildren need from you. A s imple beginning is an invitation to climb upon a lap, arms outstretched, with a loving smile that premises s incere attention to a tale of joy or woe . (Just don 1 t sympathize with complaints about parents!) One time my grandchild Denise and I played store with an old t~y cash register (out of my special cupboard filled with toys and games from our children 1 s childhoods). When she left, she said - with the joy only a four-year-ol d can express, "I'm going to tell my mama you played with me l 11 Other at- home activities grandchildren love are being read to (then being gi.ven the storybook to keep), hearing reminiscences from your youth ( especially about times you were "naughty 11 l ) , playing games, drawing, building with anything, s tl"'inging beads. Steven Caney, author - lectuter and designer of the Boston Children's Museum , encourages adults to dig into their ovm :pasts for ideas as to what will make their grandchildren happy. "I try to remember what I liked as a kid, " he says, "and it generally turns out that it's what today's kids like , too 11 • Curious as to what an eight-year-old f inds memorable , I asked granddaughter Kathy to name a hap,y recollection. Her reply : "When you played Hide-the-Thimble with me ". That 1 s what my mother played with me - and hers before that! And what about hauling out the button box? I spent hours as a child sorting or cunting buttons when I got bored with other toys. If you bake, acquaint your grandchildren with the specialty of their heritage: English trifle, Italian crostata, African benne cookies, German pfeffernuesse, Lebanese sumbusic, .Jewish blintzes, French petits fours. Little ways to meet each grandchild 1 s needs: Invite one at a time to visit you , so you can give him all your attention . Treat him as an equal. (Psychologist Dr. Haim Ginott claims that 11 children react best when we treat them as though they are already what t hey are capable of becoming".) When he visits, let him see and do things he can't experience at home - not because his parents don't approve, of course, but because they aren't available. Co~pliment him often on his school, Scouting or musical achievements, artwork, appearance, manners, etc. Let him do things when he visits: hold the mixer, set the table, feed the cat, hammer a nail. A child 1 s craving fo r presents fr om grandparents may be as much a desire for a close relationship as greed, so he'll be delighted with a simple coloring book, a top, a puzzle; most youngsters like to play house or store , so. welcome small boxes; plastic bottles and screw-top jars, empti ed of their contents but with the labels left on. According to Mr. Caney, people are talting a second look at 11 storebought11 toys. What a child really wants, he says, is to be appreciated for himself; he gains this by u s ing his fertile imagination to make his own toys with a 1 it tl e help f ro:n a parent - or grandparent. Hon:e!r.ade toys are catching on again; Steven11 Caney ' s "Toy Book 11 ., Caroline Horowitz I s "Play Alone Fun for Boys and Giris , Arden Newsome's 11 Crafts and Toys From Around the World" are all good how-to books, available at your local library. • .... • - # �Mr. and Mrs. Butch McClanahan were in Colorado Springs the week of 9 February 10th to attend an Associated Grocers Convention.

In successive years they moved to Tierra Amarilla and Caracas. Manuel's grandfather with relatives and friends scouted the Dolores Valley and decided to move there, but when the time came to lo.ad up and go, the rivers were too high to cross. Moving down the San Juan Valley they came to Rosa and 1iked it well enough to stay. It was a simpler and perhaps saner world into which Manuel C. Candelaria was born on Nov. 16, 1899, . Rosa, New Mexico, just below the Colorado line on the San Juan River, was a general store, a saloon and a few houses. Irrigation· ditch.es had been installed to make green fa.rms in the valley and above were the ranches in the dry hills. Everyone had a few cattle and a horse or twc. Joe and Faustina had two children before Manuel was born, but both of them died. In 1901 Manuel's mother died. During Manuel's infancy and te.e nage years his father worked at various jobs in the area. Little Manuel stayed with first one relativet then another. There was plenty of work to do wherever he stayed, but also some time for himself. He especially liked the summer when he could wade in the river and fish for trout. The general store had many things·tempting to children, but Manuel could only look. Ready cash was scarce for even adults. Children had none. Manuel never went to school. Sometime during Manuel's early years San Juan County in N.M. and the whole state of Colorado went dry. The fact that Rio Arriba County was still wet and that Rosa was in the extreme northwest corner nearest the population centers in Southwest Colorado brought swift and drastic changes to the tiny town. Soon there were eleven saloons rip-roaring 24 hours per day. Characters of every description, farmers, -sheepmen, cattleme~. railroaders, miners from Silverton and Telluride and dudes from Durango and Cortez flocked to Rosa on holidays and weekends and any other time they could. All of them were thirsty. Rosa was a fighting, gambling, carousing little town for several years. Living with one relative, then another, was not easy. Manuel felt he didn't really belong anywhere. Joe remarried in 1911. Manuel ran away when he was 15. One grandmother lived at Kline and he headed there. He rode the train to Durango, intending to catch the train to Telluride, get off at Hesperus and hitch rides to Kline. Manuel didn 1 t foresee the trouble a boy who could speak no English could have at a depot. Somehow the ticket agent misunderstood. As a result Manuel found himself on a train headed north. When he got off in Silverton, Manuel had 35¢. He didn't know what to do, but he was determined not to return home. Soon he found a job in the kitchen of a boarding house at a mine 9 miles north of Silverton. His wages were $75.oo per month plus room and board. He washed dishes, helped the cook and did odd jobs around the place. Most of the miners were Italians and Swedes. They c~mldn' t pronounce Candelaria, so Manuel was known as "Candy". One big fellow whom everyone called "The Big Swede" (Manuel never knew his real name) took a special liking tq "Candy". Whenever payday came, �Manuel would sign his check over to the Swede and the Swede bought Manuel clothes.shoes.or whatever else he needed. For two years Manuel hardly ever went to Silverton for fear someone would rec6gni ze him and let his dad know where he was. Finally, he met one of his old fr iends, Joe Maez. For a change they decided to leave Silverton and get jobs in Telluride . · His last few days in Silverton, Manuel spent with the big Swede. He would always get · drunk·when we went to town. This time the Swede disappeared for a couple of days. I didn't know where he was. Then I saw him coming down the st.reet. He was unshaven and had a black eye. I asked him where he had been. In jail, he said. After he got cleaned up, he took me to the bank and showed me my bank _balance: Every dollar of every check I had given him was there. Everything he had bought for me was out of his own money. Joe and I soon left for T~lluride a..'1d I never saw the Swede -again." 11 On the way to Telluride the boys did some shopping in Durango. Manuel had a hard time communicating. He thought he had learned English at the mine. Actually, what he had learned was 5% English and the res t an ast0nishing conglomerate of Italian, Swedish and Mexican. After working two years in Telluride, Joe M~ez decided to ~o visit his folks in Rosa and t alke·d Manuel into going, too. "I didn't want to go, but I decided maybe I should." Mos t boys change a lot between-age 15 and 19. Manuel certainly had. "I looked. different an.ct I had a lot of nice clothes. About - all I ever spent money on was c ~.othes." My step-moth.e r didn't recognize me and my dad almost didn't. He cried when he saw m~ .~ From this point on Manuel worked away part of the time and stayed at home part of the time. One reason he spent time at home was a pretty little girl name d Regina Gallegos. "::.iile was a pretty girl. I would watch her walking home from school. , ~Orrie peo!)le thought I was interested in her because her folks were rich. They owned a nice farm and a saloorL in Rosa, but that wasn't why. I jus t liked her." Regina, born Jan. lJ, 19 05 , was on ly 15 when Manuel first noticec! her. Her parents, ·Aneceto and Adela Gallegos, opposed their friendship at first. Regina recalls, "I ha d to sneak out of the house to go on buggy rides and to dances with Manuel." Once while working at Gobernador, Manuel heard about a basket auction at Arboles. He had a good pacing horse and rode the 40 miles just to bid on Regina' s basket. "Some_of my friends kept raising the bid on me. I finally had to pay over $6.oo for it." Manuel and·Regina were married Jan. 28, 1924. They livea at Rosa for a year, then moved to Dolores t o work in the McFee Mine , Later Manuel got a job on a repairtrainfor t he D. & R. G.. "We lived' in a box car. It was well furnished and warm and comfortable. Manuel worked on the steam shovel which moved up and down the Durango-Silverton line repairing flood damage to the tracks. Our car would be parked on a siding till we moved up to a new area. We never left the train from April to December, All our necess ities w~re brought in by supply trains." In 19 31 Manuel and Regina staked a dryland cla im on the mesa near La Jar~. They built a house, planted an orchard and raised some good crops . Government inspectors tried to run them off, but Iv:anuel stayed till his claim became a test case in Albuque rque and he won, Later they leased land n ear Arboles and then began buying it until they acquired about 800 acres. The Candelaria's raised 7 children on the ranch. All of the children survive. Manuel Jr. operates the ranch now. Manl).el says, "My son does most of the work. I can do a lot y et, �but when y ou get old, you get s mart". The Candelarias.like to travel . They ha ve made J - 4 t rips to Mexi co, once t o Mexico City a nd once to Acapulc o, "I'd like to go a gain," Regina says . Last January 28 , Manuel and Regina celebrate d thei r 5 1st wedding anniversary .

Belle Hancock William, one of seven chiidren of Price William and Maria Capote William, was born in the Florida Valley of La Plata County, ~, Colorado, on January 1 2 , 1 906. · J 11 My parents owned a frame house in the valley ~ust so:uth or where the narrow gauge railroad crossed the Florida River. (1½ miles south of where the present U.S. 160 crosses the river.) The valley was not cleared for bay fields then. It was full of sage brush. There were huge clumps, some 5 feet tall and so thick we used it for firewood. My parents could hunt and fish and gather wild food, but my father wanted better things for his family. He decided he would have a better chance for jobs if he could speak English, so after he was married, he went to Ft. Lewis to learn English. When he came home, he brought a Navajo boy named Jake who was in trouble with the Ft. Lewis people. · Jake stayed with us a long time and helped with the work. My father got a job at a lumber mill. He drove a team to drag logs. He had his own horses and mules and donkeys. He cut wild timothy down by _the river and in the hollows watered by the springs coming out of the Florida MAsa. Our nearest neighbors were a Mormon family. They loaned my father their mowing machine and then he would share the hay. · Every summer and rall my parents sent me out to pick blue berries, chokecherries, buffalo berries and Indian bananas(the fruit of the soap weed). The Indian bananas were my favorite. When the stalk gets dry and the pods hang down their heads in the fall, they are ready to pick. They are as sweet as apricots. I've been ·back to the places where we used to pick them, but the deer and elk always get them first. We also picked. wild onions and wild spinach. Sometimes my parents bought a bitter plant from the Mexicans for. medicine." · After a few years, Belle's parents moved over to her grandparent's· ) farm 3½ miles north of La Posta in the Animas Valley. Belle soon learned all about mjlking goats and herding sheep. "Most c:f the milk we made into keso (cheese). It's a simple thing. You boil the milk. Squeeze the juice from the Soap Weed into the milk and boil it some more. Let it cool. Then put the milk in a cloth and let all the water drip out. the keso we made was something like cottage cheese. 11 Belle was finally s~nt to the Indian School at Ignacio. She well remembers the big sign there which said, "Don't talk Indian, 11 but even so Belle mostly enjoyed the school. . · "It was more fun then milking gosts and herding sheepl 11 Belle was about 14 when her mother died. n1 stayed with my grandparents for a while. Then I got a job at La Posta working for the Candelario Vigil family who owned the store and dance hall there. I cleaned, carried water and helped with the cooking. I lived with that family two years and t h~y treated me very well. In 1922 Superintendent McKeen sent me to school at Towaoc. In the summers I didn't have any place to go so I got a job working at the Wrightsman Hotel in Mancos. Ellen Wa"tts and I both worked there two summers. We washed dishes, ironed table cloths, picked berries and cherries and currents and made them into ice cream and pies. Near the end of the second summer Ellen and I heard about the Spanish Fiesta in Durango. Our jobs were about to end at the hotel, so we took the train to Durango to watch the games and the races. When we found the Indian camp, we located Daisey Eagle, Ellen's sister. She took us home with her to Spring Creek. 11 ... �Belle attended the Haskell Institute in Kansas until she was 18. ~ When ·she came back to Colorado, she worked .for the hotel at Mancos again. Ellen Watts got married and it wasn 1 t long till Belle had married Curtis I -~\ · Cutth.air• , .· , , . , 1 met Curtis in Mancos. We had known one another several years. Finally, one summer Curtis came to see me and-said,, "I don't have any ·family of my own. I'd like to settle down and have a family to belong to. 11 Curtis had been to trade school. He got a job operating the steam heating system at the Agency in Ignacio. In his spare time he farmed his place north of Ignacio where the family home is located. Belle and Curtis had seven children, Richard, Garnet, Christine, Larry Vera, Laverne and Darlene. burtis later quit the Agency so that he could clear and plow the Oxford tract and spend more time on the farm. He died in 1965. Curtis probably never dreamed his ·wife would become a movie star, but that happened last year. Belle was selected to be in the cast of the movie "Winterhawk11 • She and Thelma Kuebler appeared in mountain -scenes in their native dress. Belle enjoyed her part in the movie very much. Whether they knew it or not, when the casting crew chose Belle, they chose some one ~Tith authentic ties with and memories of the tribal history of this area. Belle says, 11My grand.mother was a half-sister to Ouray. · My grandparents moved around with Ouray and fought the Commanches with him over the salt in the San Luis Valley. They chased the Commanches all the way to Antonito once and killed a lot of them. At one ttme there were Indian trails all th:rough the mountains. My grandparents traveled them, hunting and fishing during the warm time and in the winter they settled in the valleys. I might know more about the old days, but when I was a When I , child, it was not proper for children to ask many questions. )wanted to know something, my mother would often say~ 1 Don 1 t ask questions. Mind your own business. You are too young to know!' Belle's memories of her own time are very strong. 11 1 can remember our home in the sage brush in the Florida Valley. I remember learning the worship dance from Tom Nevrton's mother and the oldest memory I have as a little child is the time - I must have been about three - when I was wrapped in a blanket and tied on my aunt's back a.Tld she was dancing and dancing and dancing. I can't forge~ things like that." ' 11 by Shelby Smith �BI- CENTENNIAL SOCIAL IN MARCH f the first Bi-Centennial our March 26 Senior Social W!-1 ~~~-irboles communities.

Paso, Texas. Funeral services were Thursday, February 1 o, f'r,om the Ignacio Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Don Kratz of£iciating. Burial was in the Ignacio Cemetery. Jake, as he was better known f .rom the time he was a small boy, spent bis 95 years in ~any areas and in many occupations. . . Recalling when he was in first grade in school in Saguache he told how the McJunkin family came a-cross the plains in a e overed wagon~ He admitted to being sea.red at night when he .heard the coyotes. He had a lifelong interest in music and played the 11iolin a.nd guitaro He said he remembered his mother saying, 11 .Take, I wis h you would s t op plunking away on that guitar, you are about to drive me . crazy" . . In his early years around this area he pl ayed his fiddle at t he county dances and his wife, Ruby, corded on the Piano. He was still playing for his own entertainment in his 80s. vlhen Chrestino Casias, another old time musician, came to see him the two played for hours at a time. . As a young man he freighted across the Navajo :r.eservation, helped . sutvey for a railroad in Arizona and was in the Silverton - Ouray area when t he mining days were a t their height, before he was out of his te~ns. An older l?rother, Elton, freighted supplies from Silverton across Engineer Mountain to Lake Cit.y. · · ·From the Ignacio Chieftain for J'uly 1 9, 1966 - Mr. Mc.Tunkin recalled · he married Ruby Bryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. (George Washi:qgton.) Bryan at the Bryan home which was across from the present Don Gosney ranch. The Bryans and McJunkin were around before there were any houses in what is now down t own Igna cio. . In 1909 the Bryan store was located on the south s ide of the depot and at a l ater dat e Mr. Bryan built his store down to1mf (corner of Pioneer and Goddard). Mr. Bryan also built many of the present day homes in Ignacio. The Mc.Junkins lived in Durango fallowing t heir !aal'riage. Hr. McJ·un.~in thought it was probably July 4, 1909 that they and the Len.Andersons ca..~e out from Durango en t he t~ain f or the sale of lots as the land had just been thrown open for settlement. So this 4th of July a 30 or 4-0 piece band from Fagosa played for the celebration and there were . eats and speaches ·before the sale was to began, However, around noon; lightning, rain and hail and so· clod it turned to · .. snow. As the snow piled up the people took off and headed .for their hom~s and not a lot was sold. Some four years later the McJunkins did move t o Ignacio. Mr. Mc.Tun.kin ran sheep, then started in a Second Eand store business later addi ng groceries and dry goods.· After a number of years in one location t heybought the store and the business. which t hey operated until selling to Harold Phillips. They had three sons George, Grant and Harry. The McJunkins in later years lived in the :family Bryan home on Browning vhere Ed Mouser now lives. After Mrs. McJunkin's death Mr. McJunkin continued to live he:re during the summers in the house just north o:f his former home. In the winter he lt-as with his son,"Harry, in El ·Paso or his brother, J'illl, at his trading post near Winslow, Arizona • . He paint ed a good many pictures in his later years, mostly from memory of Navajoland and early day scene~. He hung these pictures on the walls of his home for his own pleasure. He did not like vdnter scenes, so he seldom painted bare trees, ice or snow. 1 �{, Get Well Soonl Sanen Frontal Russell Shock Erdman Tobias Belle Cutbair Raymonq.

Almost ready for its second cutting, the hay in the meadows was brilliant green and restful to the eyes. This time ct.year the river was low and clear. Here and there the family could see the flashing movements of large feeding trout. To the south they could see the depot and a few other buildings in the young village of Ignacio. Up the valley to ths ~ight was their destination, several buildings of the Ute Agency and a few homes. Julian Baker was eight years old. He had no idea this trip would mean any more to him than other previous trips to visit a cousin who lived near the agency and to trade fo~ supplies in Ignacio. But it was to be very different. The next morning after all business and visiting was done, Julian's father hitched the horses and loaded the supplies. As Julian approached t!1e· wagon, his father stopped him and said,"These are your relatives here. They will be a family to you. You won't need to feel that you are away from home.~ Through tearful eyes Julian beheld his C3ther in the wagon and began slowly to understand that he was expected to stay. Almost before he could begin to wonder why this was happening a bell began to ring distantly. ''Do you hear that? 11 his father said. "That's the 'school bell. Do you see those boys and girls going to that building? You go over there too. Your cousins will be a family to you. 11 Julian watched the wagon roll slowly toward the river, then turned and walked more slowly toward the strange building across the field. Julian recalls the winter holidays were all new to him. Until school he knew nothing of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. On his first Halloween celebration he remembers a great bowl of a new food called popcorn, and remembers even more clearly how that he ate with delight and great gusto until he was 111. Soon enough the school became a familiar and comfortable place. Most years thereafter he rode the train to Ignacio in September. Julian was born July 17, 1892, on his father's farm in a canyon behind Allison. Since the county line runs right through their place, Julian says to this day he is not sure whether he was born in Archuleta or in La Plata County. One of his earliest recollections is a clear memory of men surveying the section lines near Allison. This was done in 1896 when Julian was four years old. This government survey he observed was one inc·ident among others leading to an exciting yet sad rivalry which erupted a few years later near Julian's home, but to tell that story we must go back further into the past. ~ong before the Sp.:1niards and the French and the Americans came, the Utes enjoyed a home territory and hunting ground unsurpassed by that of any other tribe in North America. Though the territory of every other tribe had advantages,and desirable characteristics, the homeland of the Utes, occupying the great valleys and ranges of the backbone of the continent was unusual for its size and beauty. Few tribes ever possessed so large an area or enjoyed such richness and variety of terrain. The Utes made occasional raids onto the great ~ �,-.., plains east of Pikes Peak in search of buffalo or to harry their old enemies the Cheyennes and the Arapahoes who inturn made occasional raids against the Utes in the mountain regions. But finally the whites came and with their numbers and new weapons eventually began asserting their will over the land. Julian remembers the old men who told him of the time when the American Army came to the great plains and ordered the Utes to leave. "You will no longer eat Buffalo. You will eat deer," they said. "Go into the mountains. Migrate among them. When you have found the area you like best, stay there." Each head of a hous hold was told to stake an allottment. (160 acres for farming, 160 acres for grazing) Rather than marking the corners of the allottment, the Indians were told toplant a large post in the center of their chosen land and each year to clear and work a larger area around the post until all 160 acres were being used. Hundreds of farms were started by means of the allottment system, before the land was surveyed. When little Julian saw the surveyors at work, he didn't begin to A Ute farmer had a farm not far from Julian's home acquired by means of the allottment. After the land survey, he discovered another Ute had acquired nearby farmland according t o the survey lines and that the surveyed land and the allotted land overlapped. Rather than attempt some sort of peaceful solution, the two farmers beca~e very angry and proceeded to shoot at one another whenever they watered their horses in the creek each claimed. The feud ended soon enough when one of them killed the other. guess the trouble it would soon cause down the canyon a ways. Julian was asked for any memories of Chipita and Ouray, but he said they died a few years before he was born. Julian and Ultima Baker(the former Ultima Watts, sister of Max Watts) were married at a farm house between Bayfield and Ignacio. They had one daughter, Xary, and eight sons, Walter, Randolph,Ullysses, John, Carl, Thomas, Christopher and Clem. Four of the sons survive, John, Carl, Chris and Clem. Julian has been a farmer and rancher full or part time most of his life. He was selected to be Tribal Judge from 1947-1956. Though this is essential and ioportant work, the pressures and mental strain of decision-making were very strong and Julian r ecalls,"That's not the kind of job to n:.ake anyone the most friends ." Another kind of work Julian especially enjoyed and still enjoys in his shop is carpentry. He has done a lot of construction work including some of the building at Lake Capote. In the last few years Julian has invented several kinds of bead looms and an ingenious stock chute for separating sheep. Julian will be 82 this next July. His life has been long and varied and full. He and his people have survived many challenges coped with many changes during his lifetime. All of us appreciate his example of tenacity, courage and hard work. We wish him many years or happiness and good health.

Variety in your evening drink If, like many people, you enjoy a hot drink in the evening but wisely try to limit your consumption of stimulants, here are some tasty, nutritious substitutes for the traditional hot cocoa: Heat fruit juice. Almost any juice is good hot, but tomato and apple are especially delectable. (For an extra touch of zip, add a squeeze of lemon or dash of celery salt to tomato, a couple of cloves or a cinnamon stick to spple.) Make cambric tea, mi xing the hot water with evaporated milk or nondairy creamer instead of fresh whole milk if you're budget-minded. Then , instead ?sf a~ding sugar, add an inch-long piece of a holiday-type candy cane. Your t ea will be a festive pink and, more important, have a delightfully different flavor. .....

Next morning, she cracked one open - only to find it empty. After opening all 12 eggs and finding nothing in any of them, she took the shells back to the farmer.

JULIUS CLOUD "When I was born in 1895, there was no town here - only the depot and the agency and a country store over where the grade school is now. It was all Indian land from Pagosa to Utah. Not many houses. Tribal members lived in teepees and it was a good life, There were teepees all u:p a..11d down the rivers • 11 These are only the beginnings of Julius Cloud's memories of the old days in the Pine River Valley-. Julius :,1"2-s born on May 30, 1895~ the sori of Edwin and Ruth Cloud. He lives on the same nlace where he was born 3½ miles south of tmm,· 11 Ignacio was a field then~ .John Green used to plow a piece of ground down by the station and I liked to follow along behind and play in the soft dirt, 11 · Julius enrolled in the boarding school and then at the Allen Day School and, finally, was transferred to the Indian School at Santa Fe, N.M. 11 It was OK ·at Santa F'e - not very good food, but ·we got to meet Indian kids from all over the country. Julian Baker and I and several other Utes were there. We had school and learned to drive a car and played football and baseball, which I really liked. 11 After three years Julius returned from Santa Fe. He and several of his friends started an all Indian Baseball Team. PWe played Mancos, Cortez, :Pagosa and Silverton and by charging admission to the games we paid for all of our trips and equipment. We traveled to and from our games in a Model 11 T' 1 • No ma.tter how deep the mud was, we never got stuck. Car·s aren't that good today. Later we got a ·J:.fodel 11 A1t to carry more people , but the Model 11 TII was the best c~r, . After ·we won the champ ion-~ ship at Pagosa, we disbanded the t~am. James Baker was one of our best players. He later got on one of the professional teams in Denvero 11 Julius I'emembGrs the store H.'t'. Burns had up near the Catholic Church9 The building later was moved to dmm-tm•m Ignacio across from the drug store and for a while was used to show the old-fashioned picture 8hows, J'ulius liked to go to the pow-wows. Some good ones were held at Uairajo Springs, south of present day Towaoc, Julius learned to sing for t~e dances. He still lmows so~e of the songs, but doesn't participate any more because "it's too much effort. 11 ·when he was about 20, the U.S. ·-entered the First World War and ,Tul:tus was drafted. He and Andy Frost, Frank Baker, George Bro1m and J'or.'11 Hays were sent to Camp Cody, N.M. for basic training. From there he was shipped to Camp Dixon, New Jersey, and 1'rom there to England and France. On the trip east, .Julius I troop stopped :Ln Chicago. He had never seen such big buildings or such smoky skies. Julius remembers, It 11as so bad they had to turn on electric lights during the day and railroads ran overhead on platforms two or three levels high! 11 As they left New York Harbor Oij the troop ship, everyone watched the Statue of Liberty slowly disanpear. On the ocean Julius could see the curvature of the earth an1 from~the looks of it cou dn't understand why the water didn 1 t run off somewhere. When the ship arrived in England, many of the troops had the influenza. Some died. Everyone was quarantined for 21 days. Crossing the English Cba.nnel was like cross:i.ng a big river. France was a g1·een country. All the roads were lined with trees which overshadowed the road. At every crossroads were religious statues. The wine districts were quite a sight. There were whoJ,.e hillstdes covered wlth vineyards and piles of grapes ready for the wine vats. Life at the front ·was pretty bad. Each soldier carried an 80 lb. pack with a short shovel for trench-digging. One of the ho:rrors of l;J1iJT was th0 poison gas. As a part of training, the soldiers were sent into a room to experience a small dose of gas. Julius says, 11 I cheated. After about 8-10 minutes �3 they let us out. Everyone but me was coughing and crying and struggling to get h1 s breath, I had h.ld my head under ~y coat and ·breathed through my clothes, When the officers saw me, they said, 'What's the matter with that Indian Chief? He didn't feel it.'" There were soldiers from many nations involved in the war. Julius recalls, "'The Germans wore green uniforms; the .Americans had kacki. Some had grey with red buttons. I think that was the British. Sometimes the shelling would be so bad that the ground would shake. A few times I felt lik.e I should say 'Goodbye, .America, '" Sometimes during the three . years Julius was in France he doubted he would ever get home again, After a long time of waiting Julius and one of his friends got leave to · go to Paris, expecting it to be a happy relief from the front, but Paris was a grim city, overcrowded with refugees and short of food. "We had to stand in long lines just to get black rye bread," Julius also remembers there was no real Christmas in France.. "One year all we had for Christmas dinner was bread arid bacon and oatmeal." In 1930 Julius narried Molly Tobias Buck. They had six children. The oldest was Nell, then Jerry, Elliot, Darwin, Irene and Bennee, Darwin died when he was about 20. Ao.11 the others survive. Julius knows a lot of people had a hard time in the 1930's, but says he and his family go t along j ust fine. "A !dollar bought a lot in 1930," He worked as a jo ckey for several years and enjoyed this work very much. "When I rode for p eople around Ignacio, I got fifty cents every t l.me I won a race. When the tracks opened up in Durango and Corte2, I got $ 2 ,00, even $3,,00 for winning•: Later Julius did some farming and sone s heepherding and was on the police force. He worked as a 'llaintenance engineer at a school in ·Dulce for a while. Now he leases his land and stays on the home place, Some of Julius best memories are of the years when he was a boy growing up with Max Watts and Martin Hayes. "We liked to play in the water 'own at the river all sll.mmer and fish and make bows and arrows and run in ../he woods. It was a happy life." • This May Julius will celebrate his 80th birthday. For a person of that age he is amazingly strong and healthy, We wish him and his family many more years of good health and happiness. .7 Jeffery Jefferson estubo en Utah par tres dias en una junta tocante educacion.

To do this they want to eliminate the income tabJ.es now being used to figure the cost of_ stamps based on the size of the family and instead charge a flat 30'.~; of the fa:r:iilies income. Those hit hardest by this increase will be the millions of one and two person households where most of the :µation's elderly~ and bling . and disabled live. . . For example a one person household ·with an income of ~?{85 .09 and :no deductions would have _to pay ~;;55.00 for ~)+6.00 Horth of stamp·s.; ... Even with deductions of 035.00 and an adjusted income of ~)150.00 this person would have to pay t'.;45.00 for $;:46.c:io worth of stamps. Thereby most elderly, lm•r-income people would be pushed out of the food _. stamp program. . . · During this period of inflation and recession, it seems unfair for the U.S. government to deliberately 1:1ake the necessities of life even more GXDensive for senior citizens who need th.is hel"O. If you ;re opposed to this price rise, write· to your-congressman and semi.tors. They can pass la\-rs. requiring the USDA to keep _.the prices right we1~e they are or oven lower. _ Your letter does not have to b1:3 typed on fancy :9aper to get attention. Inf act a handwi--i tten letter on a -sack '.muld p1•obabiy get more P.sttention than a formal letter. So ·wRITE. If ycu oppose this price rise, just tell them· so. .. �. -· ' ~ .. Mr. & lif+s.

It was there Paul Brake . and Hazel Gunderman became acquainted through their interest in music and dated and became good friends. Ithaca, in the finger lakes district of southern New York, is a very beautiful place. 11 It 1 s very much like here, only less rugged and has much more rain, 11 says Hazel. . When Hazel was born on August 30, 1901, her parents, Charles and Ethyl Gunderman, lived in Waverly, New York, about 4o miles south of Ithaca. Mr. Gunderman was employed by an aggressive company with a great future, the Bell Telephone Co. "Dad was a construction .foreman and a trouble man for 33 years. This job eventually took us to Ithaca. It was hard work without the machines used today. The telephone poles were raised by horses and the men had to pull the wires by ha~d. During the years he was trouble man, he was called out during storms · and in the middle of the night whenever service was interrupted. 11 School was quite demanding in those days. "We didn 1 t get any credit for just being there. Every year we had to pass the Regent's Exam or we would not be passed on to the next grade. Our home was heated by a coal stove. We had running water from the town's spring-fed reservoir, so pure it needed no filtration. We had no supermarkets. We bought milk and eggs at the creamery and our meat at the butcher's. The stores did have some canned goods, which was a h~lp, since the only fresh things available during Winter were cabbage, celery, t~~nips and plenty of apples. Bacon was 20¢ a pound and if butter go~ to 35¢ a pound, people thought it was too high to use. Refridgerating food was never a problem in winter. We always bad a cold room, but in summer every one used an ice box. Blocks or ice were delivered twice a week. Ice cutting on the river provided work for many men during winter." During the 1920 1 s Hazel taught music to many private students. This work was successful and enjoyable until the years of the depression. Suddenly people were too poor to pay for music lessons and.Hazel was out ot work. In 1932 Hazel and her mother went to Los Angeles for a visit and decided to stay, since there were more · jobs in California. av.er the next 30 years Hazel had a variety of jobs. "I took whatever was availableduring the depression. There was no unemployment compensation then. 11 In 1962 Hazel made a trip back to Ithaca. While visiting Miss Holmes, one of her old teachers at the conservatory, she learned that Paul Brake, whom she had not seen for over 30 years, was teaching school in Salida, Colora~o. When she returned home, Hazel wrote to Paul and the friendship which had begun so long ago resumed. They met in Las Vegas, Nevada, over Christmas vacation of {962 and were married. Paul returned to Salida to finish the school year. The next summer he joined Hazel in Los Angeles. The Brakes came to Ignacio and Durango for a vacation in the summer or 1964. This was not Paul's first trip to this area. He had taught music in the Ute Vocational School 6 years from 1946-53. Of all the bands he taught in various schools across the country 1 Mr. Brake says he got the most satisfaction from his bands at the Indian school. Primarily,, Mr. Brake says, "Because the Indian children are very talented, musically." ) ) �. ~Paul had good memories of Ignacio and Hazel took an immediate llking for the area . After a little searching, they· located a house to buy, then returned to Los Angeles,since Hazel needed to -work only a few more moaths to reach retirement age. She had no regrets about ~ leaving Los Angeles. . "Los Angeles offers many cultural advantages, such as the- Hollywood Bowl, the museums, and the symphony, but I never really liked it there very well. It is damp and fog 6 y much of the time. Then the town began to grow until all the autos made the air almost unbreatheable. '' Pulling up stakes to move to Los Angeles and then on to Ignacio 1s part -of the pattern of Paul Brake's life. His career in music has .taken. him to more places in the country than most people have heard of. Paul's father, Charles Hobart Brake was a school teacher. educated in Canada. Later he bought a Business College in Norfolk, Nebraska. Paul was born there on December 14, 1897. After selling the college , Charles farmed in Nebraska and then decided to go back to Nev York. Not long afterward, Paul began to demonstnate the beginnings of the musical talent which would dominate his life. Paul had been forbidden to 11 bother 11 his father's clarinet, but wnen he was alone in the house Paul experimented with it until he could play a tune. When his father caught him, )le . de_c ided 1 t was not mischief b1:1t po~ential . talent showing up. So Paul got lessons. - Then he was sent to the conservatory where he met Hazel. His first jobs were providing theme music at the theatres in Ithaca. Then he went on the road with the band in Ve.n Arnum's Circus and became fascinated with the traveling life. Over . the next 20 years he traveled the country with a marvPl n11s variety of circuses road shows and melodl"a~s. Paul worked one season on a living legend, ihe Cotton Blossom Show Boat. "We played the tm,ms up and down the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, one play going down and anoth~r coming back up the river. We did Little Shepherd .Qf. J5:j.n_gdom .Qpme and )1n;wanted .Q..hild. The band provided incidental !]iUSic. · ~or the plays. · When the boat stopped near Hannibal, Missouri, I asked an old timer whether he had kno'1m Mark T,-rain. He said yes; he had lmown him and that Mark was a pretty good man, but an awfUl liar. 11 The show boat was a theater built on a barge. It would seat 500. "Most of the time we stopped at townsi but occasionally we'd tie up at lonely little docks in farm country. ~hat night we 'd see the people walking through the woods with their lanterns and rowini; down the river in their skiffs . People in those areas were hungry for eatertainment and it was surprizing what a crowd we'd pull out of seemingly empty country • . Seats cost 35¢-75¢. There we~e 10 in the cast, 12 in the band and a crew of 3 operated the stern-wheeler steam boat which manuevered the barge.~ Paul played tuba for the Youngstown, Ohio, Symphony for several yearsi then went back on the road with the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bai ey Circus. Other years he taught band in schools in Ohio, Texas and Colorado. . The Brake's time in Colorado has been retirement in the best sense of the word. Now that there ·is time, tney have· both worked to developfurther their talents and interests. · Hazel_ has taught piano to many youngste:rs and_ sp~nds hou~s oil painting. Paw fishes in .t he Pine River when he takes a notion, t.eaches violin and comnoses music • . His latest creation, a symphonic composition of four suites for band was conducted by ~ • . Brake at the Ft • .Lewis Band Concert last December. Our senior citizens are people with abiliti~s and interests as varied and as valuv able ss those o~ any other age group. The Brakes are adequate- evidence of this. · We send both or them our best wishes for good health and for many years to work and create and contribute to their community. by Shelby Smith �WP;i,gQ~ TO OUR .JANUARY SOCIAL Date Where When HOW 301 1976 .••• January Community center 12:00 noon Pot Luck Rural Areas near and northwest of Ignacio--Please bring main dishes.
