It was October 17, 1886. Little Harry was a strong, healthy boy. At that time most of the Utes could still hunt with bows and arrows and as Harry grew up he was taught t o make his own weapons and to hunt the old way. In those days there were only a very few Mexicans and Anglos in the area. A few agency pftople and one or two store owners and their families were here . Otherwise tribal members had the land to· themselves . As a child and a young man Harry led a life most American children would envy today. He fished and hunted He learned the crafts and traditions of his people, participating in the dances and feasts . He helped his father and grandfather and played boyhood games all the while untroubled by the shadow of school . All good things seem to have a way of ending . In 1899 when Har ry was 13 his grandfather put an end to the free and ea~y l ife . Onehalf mile north of the agency was a mission school taught by the blacksmith ' s daughter. Harry went .. The best thing he remembers about school that year was the two week Christmas vacation . He had no idea what plans his grandfather had for him for the following.school year . "One day a man I ' d never seen before showed up at our place . My grandfather told me I was going with him to the Ft. Lewis School to learn English. I didn ' t know anything about it until they told me to get into the wagon . There wasn't any chance to run away or anything . " Harry went to school two years at Ft . Lewis . He learned English, farming techniques and a few other subjects . "That was enough school for me," Harry states. At the age of 18 Harry decided it was time to earn some money of ~is own . His f irst job was with the agency. It was hard work, often with a pick and shovel, but a person couldn't be choosey. Jobs weren ' t too plentiful . To the best of his memory, Harry earned $1.25 per day. That doesn't sould like much, but $ . 25 would buy a lot of groceries in 1905. By t~en Harry was living on Spring Creek and rode a horse to work every day . i it was a fairly long ride and tiresome, especially when there was farm work to do at home, too. When asked how he met his wife, Harry smiled and said, "It was different then. If you wanted to marry a girl, you would go ask her father . He might say ' no ' or he might say 'yes'. If he said 'yes'~ he would call his daughter out and you would take her home with you and you were married . 11 S.ometimes the girl's mother or grandmo ther would object to the match . When that happened, the grandmother might put the couple to the smoke test. This consisted of putting the couple in a teepee, building a s moky fire inside the teepee and sealing up the tent flaps . As the teepee fil l ed with smoke, eyes smartee and breathing became difficult . If the boy broke out for fresh air before the time allotted by the grandmother, shP. ran him off and he couldn't come back. If he . endured the smoke until the grandmother was satisfied, she would open the teepee and the couple was free to marry . Harry married Mary Tobias . Unfortunately, Mary died about 3 years later and there were no children. Afterward Harry moved to Taos and mar ried a tribal member there . A daughter was soon born . Harry likes the Taos people very much and still goes occasionally to visit his daughte and her children . After about three years in Taos, he moved back to the �., Pine River Valley. ·Personal travel was very slow when Harry was young. A trip to the J Uinta Reservation in Utah required 15 days with a horse and buggy. For this reason, when trips were made, people stayed a while·. Time for another one probably wouldn 1 t come for some while. Harry's brother Bob was appointed Tribal judge and held that post for several years. Whenever Bob was needed to hear a case, the tribal police would have to ride a horse out to Spring Creek to bring him in. After a while this became so inconvenient that the tribe suggested that Bob and Harry take an assignment of land nearer the town. The new assigned land is about 2 miles east of town and Harry has lived there ey:e:r si[!ce • .About 13 years ago Bob and Harry wer e given an unusual opportunity. They were offered the chance to adopt a baby boy. Most -men in their 60 1 s would not be interested in giving their lives to the care of a child. Many would not feel competent, but Bob and Harry did. They raised little Ross from an infant, loved him and gaye him good care. The County Welfare Department questioned the sui tability of this arrangement several times, but could find no fault with the care Eob and Harry were giving the baby. Bob died in 1972. Harry and Ross still live on the farm. When Harry is not gardening, he is involved in craft work for which he and all his people should be proud. Harry makes bows, arrows, spears, dru~s, and feathered ornaments for use on ceremonial occassions. His work is very beautiful and valuable. Not many people·skilled in these crafts '\ remain. Harry is looking forward to his 89th birthday this fall. That's getting pretty old, but Harry doesn't act it. He stilL works his garuen and gets around very well. We wish him many more peaceful, happy and productive years. by Shelby Smith REMEMBERED When I shall quit this mortal shore And mosey round on earth no more, Don1 t weep, don 1 t sigh, don't sob I may have found a better job. Don't go and buy a fancy boquet For which you find it hard to pay; Don 1 t mope around and feel all blue, I may be better off than you. Don 1 t tell folks I was a saint or chant a dirge in accents quaint, Please hand it out before I'm dead. Ir you have roses, bless my soul. Just pin one in my buttonhole While I'm alive and well today Don't wait until I've passed away.

Author unkno·wn Mrs. 'Wilda CrtgJ.er a.nd her daughter Mrs. Thelma Jones from Indio, 13.lifornia are spending the summer in Ignacio. They are living in Hrs. J·u.lia Engler's home. Nrs. Crigler's son Connard Burks and Mrs. Burks came with them from Baldwin Park, California and then went on to visit her relatives in Kansas and Oklahoma. The Criglers were longtime Ignacio residents coming here from Craig in 1921. Both Thelma and Connard graduated from Ignacio High. Mr. Crigler - P.J. - was the Rio Grande Western Station agent in Ignacio for 32 years. In those days there were two passenger trains a day and any number of freight trains a month. While living in Ignacio the Criglers built six new homes and remodeled two others and were among the first residents to put bathrooms in their homes. Later they built two new houses by Columbus bridge, above Bayfield. During the years in Ignacio the family took an active part in the community. Hr. Crigler died in November 1972. With the exception of four summers they have spent every summer in the Ignacio-Bayfield area.

Try simple exercise and herbal teas to relax. 5) Sure reeipes for s]eep Many people stay awake only ·when they have something profoundly worrying them, have eaten too late or have overeaten. Cold feet. poor breathing habits and bad circulation also cause sleeplessness. But most insomniacs are clever, creative people who simply cannot - or will not - let their minds stop working. There are ways to retrain the too-active mind: Before going to bed, do a little exercise - some stretching at least; get into a full warm tub, or take a cold foot bath or sitz" bath; pop into bed; drink an herb tea. Breathe deeply three or four times, holding the last breath as long as you can; repeat several times. Lying on your back. slowiy and precisely concentrate on your feet. Say to yourself, ''lily feet are heavy." Think of each part of your ·body in the same way: legs, stomach, chest, arms, neck. lips, nose, eyes, head. If you have thoroughly concentrated, you can fall asleep immediately. If you still are slightly awake, lift your right foot, tense it, relax it suddenly; repeat with the left. Lift your right hand, clench it, drop it suddenly; repeat with the left. Tighten your face in a grimace, then relax. If you are still resisting, mentally write the number 3 - as slowly as you can three times; you should be fast asleep seconds later. Since relaxed sleep is one of the keys to good health, all great herbalist-healers are preoccupied with sleeping aids. A cold one- to three-minute foot bath with water up to the calves, according to 19th-century· herbalist Father Kneipp, will "cure fatigue and produce sound and wholesome sleep." He also claims a cold three- to five-minute semibath - either kneeling in water so the thighs are covered, or sitting in water up to the stomach "regulates circulation, expels unhealthy gases, and makes the body impervious to catching colds." Calcium and vitamin D are nature's most readily available nightcaps. Warm a glass of whole or skim milk, add a taqlespoon of honey: The calcium tranquilizes; the honey helps the body retain fluids, thus keeping the kidneys from alerting you during the night. Many herbs are used as nightcap teas. Add 1 teaspoon to a cup of boiling water. steep 15 minutes, strain. Add honey if you like - particularly if getting up frequently is a problem. The most effective herb sleepproducer in my view is valerian; it was prescribed to relieve strain brought on by air raids in World War II. Peppermint tea is delicate and aromatic. Chamomile tea is a traditional tranquili,zer. Aromatic woodruff can greatly improve, even prolong, one's sleep. To make tea, use hot - not boiling - water. Sage tea plus honey brings on a sense of calm. We had a "sleep jar" when I was a child that contained a teaspoon of sage and rosemary to every 2 tablespoons of peppermint; use 1 teaspoon of the combined herbs for a cup of tea. Early American settlers used both red bergamot and pennyroyal teas for relaxed sleep. Lemon balm tea removes spasms and '' ~ - ~~ ~~ tensions that prevent sleep. Cowslips have been used for centuries in England for nightly tea. American herbalist Jethro Kloss advises a warm bath and hot tea for immediate sleep. He suggests lady's slipper, valerian, catnip, skullcap or hops steeped in a cup of boiling water for 20 minutes. Kloss says these herbs· induce sleep and t,one up the stomach and nerves. Hot lemonade or grapefruit juice, with or without honey, is an excellent substitute. The Germans use ground anise with honey in warm milk as their bedtime drink. The Dutch use tablet of aniseed in a glass of l-. milk. Grated nutmeg, lemon and boiling water can be used . . Dr. Deforest Jarvis, author of "Folk Medicine," prefers apple, grape and cranberry juices to citrus juices. He also suggests a daily drink of 2 teaspoons cider vinegar in a glass of water before breakfast. This is marvelous for getting the body started and is an effective cure for constipation - another problem that can affect sleep. Did your grandmother have a sleep pillow - a tiny herb cushion covered with gay fabric? These are good for invalids and anyone in need of extra help in sleeping. Crush the dried leaves of lavender, rosebuds, or any pleasantsmelling herbs; add a fixitive; enclose in two men's handkerchiefs. (The pillow should be quite flat.) :Make a washable "pillowcase" of colorful fabric. Pin to the bed-pillow ticking. �POW~WOW - - 0 The Fourcorners Inter-Tribal POW-WOW will be held at Mancos on Saturday, July 27, 1974. ,About a thousand dollars in prizes will be offered to participants, Dancing: will be held from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M.

Suddenly, the boy ducked behind the pile and hissed at his sister to do the same. A t all man in blue pants and coat exa mined t he luggage and the children closely as he rode by on a c hes tnut horse. 11 Don't you know t hat 1 s a policeman, 11 the boy said. Marian and Ethan had just arrived in Chicago with their mother . Everything was unfamiliar and a little frightening. Like many country people of that era the children were nervous and suspicious of town people. Their mother had left them to watch the luggage while she looked for a means of t r ansporting it from one railway sta.tion to another across tovm. Moving was not a new experience for the Wrights, but they had never moved so far. The family had lived in many different places in Michigan. Now they were going to Colm~ado. Eve. Marian Wright was born August 3, 1902, i n Cass County, Southern Michigin. It is hilly, very green, fo res ted country f u ll of clear, flowing streams and "lots of bugs 11 , Marian remembers o Her father, Carl tOJ.} Eugene Wright and her mother , Myrta (Hogue) Wri ght moved frequently doing carpenter work and sales in various communities in southern Michigan. The home Marian remembers b.e st i-s the· country mill her father bought. The mill was four stories high.· The upper two stories were for grind:lng flour and the lower two were for grinding feed grist f or cattle and chickens. Tbe mill w:;is powered by a turbj_ne fed by flumes running from the three streams in the valley. It was a beautiful place. When the children were not needed to work in the mill they were assigned to fish in tpe nearby streams to supply meat for the famil y o Marian and Ethan never became bored with this s.ssignment. Since Mr . Wright was not licensed to grind flour? most of his time was spent grinding grist f eed for animals. Most of his business c ame i n t he fall, but a f ew farmers came during the rest of the ye ar. The wrigh ts acquired t wo prized ani mals with the mill. One was a horse which was e speciall y good nat ured. No one needed to even touch the rein s to get him t o t own . Ther e was, hm•1ever, one place he wauld not pull the buggy. He had fallen t hrough a bridge once and he would not cross a bridge unless someone walked across before him. The other prized animal was a tiger striped mother cat and her litters. They were es sential in keeping down the rodent population around the grain in the mill. One of the tomcats liked to go fis hing with the children. If they were slow to catch a fish to throw to him, the tomcat would wade out into the stream, hook a fish with his claws and enjoy his feast. · School was only about 1½ miles away, but when the snow stood 3-4 feet deep , it was sometimes difficult to make the trip. No one seemed to know anything a bout skiis or sno·wshoes in that area at that time. At 5 yea r s of age i•far i a...'1 shrrtP.d to pre-school, which in those days was cal:Led. primer cl ass . Children we:.:en ' t expecte9- to learn t o r ead in primer clas s , but Marian did . He1~ father had instilled in her a love f or reading from an eaI·ly age. Coal was expensive in southern Mi chi gan , so the Wrights chopped a lot of wood for t he wi~tcr. On t h~ l a.nd adjacent to the .mill Mr. Wright raised oates and a little barley and wheat. Occasionally, he raised buckwheat for cakes. When the crops were ripe, Carlton would hire a steam powered thrashing machine and its crew. Marian and Ethan were �.. :fascinated by the steam powered machinery and.often would follow the thrashing machines from field to field to watch the crews at work. · I They can remember getting up at 3:00 A. M. one morning to stoke the steam engine for the crew. Always, Carlton had bees for honey and a good garden for produce. The mill and the garden provided for the needs of the family. A little extra cash, however is always useful, Ethan had a part time job which was the envy of other young boys in the area. One of the neighbor l adies operat ed •a bird farm. She had 200 kinds of unus ual Amer ican bir ds, var i •ous game birds and exotic foreign kinds. The bird l ady could n ot possi bly f i ll all .the orders she received. E"tcp.tµi r eceived one dol l ar per day f or feeding, watering and cleaning cages. Occasi onal heavy r ai ny periods had caused floods which threatened t he mil l, but none di d any r eal damag~ until 1917. A hefty floJd tha t year destroyed all the f lumes leading to the mill. Carlton said, "Tha t .' s enough. We' r e going t o Colorado. 11 Colorado had been on their min ds for some time . Marian ' s mother had a cousin living at Tiffany who had been urging them to move out here. Carlton sold t~e place, boxed all their possessions and put the family on the train. Carlton himself went by auto by way of Wyoming to visit relatives before coming on to meet the family at Tiffany. The Wrights had never seen real mountains until they reached the plains east of·Denv~r on the train. Marian still remembers that first day she saw them. ·11 1 couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved the mountains from that first day I saw them and I still do." The family changed to the narrow gauge at Alamosa and traveled over Cumbres Pass to Chama and Pagosa Junction to Tiffany. Marian thought she knew quite a bit about farming, but one practice at Tiffany baffled her . Coming from the lush, green c~untryside of Michigan·, she had never seen irri gating before. Mr. Wri ght bought J ake McJunkin' s farm located just west of the present day Dlaughter house including his crop and aniID_als. A year or two later Carlton acquired the ranch land several miles on-west of Ignacio where Marian still lives. Marian completed her sophomore and junior years here. The end of her junior year was disturbed by a dispute which seems a little ridiculous today, but which r eflects the attitudes of that t ime . Marian and her classmates heard that one of their f avorite teachers , Ra venna Groat, was being refused reemployment. by the s chool board. Mari an and Virginia Russell and others in their class met with the board to ask whether this were so. The board said, yes, they had fired Ravenna Groat for riding a horse in riding britches instead of a riding skirt. The junior class told the board they would not return to school if the board persisted in this action. The school board members doubted the students could afford to attend school in Durango, but most of them · got jobs, saved their money and did manage to enroll in Durango for their senior year. Actually this was a wise thing for them to do as the Ignacio school was not accredited at that time. Following graduation Marian attended a two week teacher's institute at Pagosa Springs and then took a stiff exam to receive a county teacher's certificate. This may seem like very little training (which it was), but Marian says it was a stiff exam and many people had to take the exam mor e than once to pass. Marian taught in various schJol around the county. She loved the work, though conditions were often less than ,_) i deal. Some of the buildings were completely uninsulated and haJ r"\ �3_ poor heaters. w'hen Cedar Grove school was closed against Marian 1 s object ions, s he started · a ''bootleg school " in her home on the· ranch. 11 Sqme of the students, 11 Harian explains , 11were walking 7 miles to Cedar Grove. How could t hey go several more mil es to another s chool? 11 Some f amilies would send one child to s tay wit h · Marian f or a week and then they ·would take that child home and send another ·one to learn all they could for a ·week. The schoolMarian remembers with most affection was the school in Thompson Park just this side of Mancos Hill. 11 The students there were so intelligent and decent and nice. I really enjoyed the time I taught school over there • 11 In 1928 the Frank Harmon family asked Marian to go with them to · Michigan and to help take care of the Harmon children on the trip. Marian ·was very happy to do this since she had not be,-:in able to return to visit relatives and see her birthplace since she had moved. On the return trj_p the Harmons stopped in Hamilton, Kansas, to see some relatives of theirs. There Marian met a. young man named Bowen Worford. He spe·nt quite a little time .driving the Harmon kids around to see their relatives in the area and Marian accompanied them. Before she left Bowen got Marian I s . address a.--i.d wrote to her during that summer and fall. Bowen had lived in Montana for a while before returning to Kansas and was eager to return to the mountains. At Christmas time Marian returned to Kansas and she and Bowen were married. The follow"ing April t hey came out to LaPlata County. Shortly after Bowen and Marian were married Mr.s. Har mon died. Aftera while the court aslced Marian and Bowen to take care of the two Harmon gj.1•1s. The girls stayed with the Worfords until they were grown. · Harian remembers with a chuckle the time their dog tried to 11 herd 11 Bowen 1 s Ford Coupe. Bowen and Marian took·the coupe over to Spring Creek to get a cow t.he:v· had bought . Their dog, a s hepherd and collie mix went along~ One o:~ them was dri:\ring the coupe and the other was out with the dog hording the cow·. When the cow made a sudden turn to escape, Bowen yelled, 11 get her" to the dog. Somehow 'ole Shep 1 s doggy brain got its wires crossed, apparently thinking Bowen :meant the coupe instead of the cow. The dog made a ferocious J.eap and bit the tire of the moving car . Of course, he got t hrown for a l oop by the whee l and that was the last time old Shep tried to herd a coupe. Bowen died i n 1967, but Marian· stays on the ranch.. I ~ 1 s in a remote area and t here are times it 1 s a little difficult to get in or out, so many people have urged Marian to move to t own . So far s he has refused. She loves her animals and the wildlife and the peace and quiet of the land. Beyond that the place is full of memorj.es of Bowen and her parents and of her first years here. For these reasons Marian's ties to the ranch are strong. We wish her many more years of happiness and peace. ~ff~~~ffi .0'~1Gtti·:~ by Shelby Smith ~f.~~II ~ ,... r.-! , ·->+-vcf'~ J.

Speaking at a special colloquium held at the university, Dr. Smith blamed lack of social interaction, more than any bio• logical, process of aging, .!}.S the reason that some people act "old." Dr. Smith cited experiments in· which people in their 20s and 30s began to exhibit certain behavior patterns attributed to older people. The characteristics emerged hours or days after consistently oeing ignored and made. to believe that they were superfluous by having their opinions discounted or ridiculed.

She was very excited and a little fri ghtened. to be going so far from home. Haskell Institute, a secondary school for Indian children was located in Lal,Tence, Kansas. With the help of the B.I .A. superintendent, Sunshine was enrolled at Haskell . She rode the train to Alamosa and in the . evening boarded a Union Pacific Pullman for Kansas. After ~:upper a porter appI'oached her and said, "Little girl, your berth is ready. 11 Sunshine slept, occasionally awakened by the roar of passing ~rains and the screeching of brakes as the train stopped in sma11· plains towns. In the early morning hours, the porter came to her berth and said, "Little girl we're a.lmost there. 11 Sunshine dressed quickly and in a few minutes_ the train stopped and let her off. She was greeted by two girls from Haskell who told her they were to be her big sisters until she was settled in the new school. Haskell was a wonderful place. '.l'here were Indian students there from dozens of tribes all over the country. There were Senecas, Otoes, Fo.ttawa tomies, Pa,mees, Qreeks, Papagos and many more. Sunshine enjoyed the school band and the football team (which beat the University of Kansas) and especially enjoyed the 11 Indian Club. 11 The club was intended to preserve Indian history and culture. It produced pageants depictine Tribal histoTy for fairs and other public event~-· _ p!J.n?hi1:ie__ _ ·says -FritzBox -was· there and -wa-f a mer.iber of a·· band Eall ed tl1e "Hi ght Hawks 11 • Sunshine worked part tim·e in a hospital in Lawrence and considered going on to nursing school. One o.f the nurses in the hospital took such a liking to Sunshine that she even offer·ed to pay her way t.h1'ough nurses training in Independence,Hissouri. Sunshine~s parents, however, had other ideas. They decided she had been far away from home long enough. She spent summer at home and after ~onsiderable thought decided to go t o college at the University of ::e·w Mexico. · Sunshine took many courses in Home Economics and Art, but the eourse she enjoyed most was probably hoI'seback riding. She had to act a little inexperienced to get into the course, but the truth was Sunshine had ridden horses all her life and loved it • .As a child she had ridden a horse to school in good weather and ·bad. The I·gnacio school had a stable ,,rhere the horses could eat their oates a'.na. rest for the ride home. By the time school was out both students a.nd horses were Hfeeling their oates 11 • Sunshine recalls, 11 \ve often raced our · 11 horses all the way home. Her love for horses and riding ·was a natural outgrowth of her father's race horse ventures. Ed1-n.n Cloud mmed several rac e horses,.hired men to train them, entered them at Cortez, Farmington, Montrose and 1.fonte Vista and made good money at it. His best horse was called Bumblebee. Sunshine ·remembers crying to ride Bumblebee at the age of 8 or 9. Except for learning to jump horses over fences and hedges, tho horseback riding course served mainly as recreation. earned/ In the summers Sunshine money ,wrking in the Ed C. Taylor Hospital in Ignacio. Later she worked at the hosni tal at Tm,,aoc. :Fra.ncj_s Buck was the secretary for Superintendent lfoS;:iadden. Whenever he would come to Towaoc, Francis came, too, and she and Sunshine would have a good visit. · 1 In the early 194-0 s Sunshine moved to Nuncie,Indiana and workGd for the Owens-Illinois Glass Co. which·made land mines. She made friends ��.d.. , . . wi t.h a group of ladies who beg·an tal1dng about joining the W.A.C. 's, F::cnally, they talked themselves into joining. Basic training at Ft. Des Moines, I 01,ra, was in the hf.~a t of mid-summer, It included K.P. duty and drill on a blisterinz parade ground •. After basic training Sunshine was given the blitz course for surgical technician. From there she was stationed at a hosnital on Staten Island. 8he well remet'1bers the damp cold ol that . winter. P.O. W. 1 s were imprisoned in a nearby compound. l!Every· mor~ing one of the prisoners was sent into our barracks to build our morning fire." Sunshine ·worked a while at a hospital in Utica, New York, and then was sent back to Staten Island for convoy duty. This was a· 2L1- hour duty to receive the sick and wounded who were arriving back in the U.S. Sor:ie of these men had b een involved in t he European war for years. "Many of them cried when they got off the ships, they were so glad t o be back in their own country. Some would ask to be taken off t he stretchers so they could kiss the ground. We would get them. settled in the hospital and tr~en allow them one free telephone call to their folks. It was all a very emotional and touching experience. 11 After this Sunshine uas given tre.ini:ng in occupationnl the1·apy, the field in whi ch she worked · until she was dischar ged in 1 94 5'. By then sl1e had rea ched the r ank of T-4-, Tec:hr1ical Sergeant .· Sunshine was very happy to r eturn to Ignacio. "The thing I missed the most was the mountains. 11 She uorlced for a while at . the girl's do1'm and while there became acquainted with· a fellm•l doing construe. ~ i o n 'l.·l02.'"k n!'l:d pninting--on -the campus. Sun-sM.ne 2.nd Diamond -£mi ch were oarried and soon afterward movetl to Calif ornia, but not just to Calif orni2. - to Hollywood. They J.i ved in Holly"\.mod Hills overlool{ing the whole beau.-~iful metro are?. of Los Angeles. Sunshine wouldn't mind living there a.gain if it ,rnre as clean and uncro1·1ded as it was r::·. thenp In 19L1-7 Surn.?hine I s only child, Gayla, ·was born. They lived \.,.;· in San Diego and Bullhead City, Arizona,a ~iliila before coming back to Ignacio. Iri 1950 Sunshine ':;·as elected to the Tribal Council. It was s,n interesting transitional period. for the tribe. During the preceeding <lGcades the B. I. A. Super:1.nt8nclents had generally man2 ge d the affairs of the tribe in a paterna.list-ic manner~ 0xpecting t he tr j_bal council to act merely as yes nen. About this time the council s 1-:iftly changed this. They b0gan meeting separately- rathe:r t han und0r the watc b.ful eye of the superintendent and soon enough began to act independently on all matter related to tribal , olicy and welfare. SometiY.'.le during 1952-54 the Southern Ute Tribe won their land cJ.aim case and ·was . award.ed a very large slim of money. It became thG job of Sunshine, Eddie Box, Fritz Box, Jack Frost, Julius Cloud. Sam Burch and other 'l'ribD,l leaders of that per:iod to create a program for administering the money. Of all the work required during those years it 1 s obvious Sunshine is most proud of one idea she put forth. IT was her idea to set up a trust fund for each Ute child. I'he young people in the tribe are still benefitting from her fores5-ght. . When asked about the old days, Sunshine Days there 1-rt?re more farx:1ers and mo1·c livestock in the country then. lfore people gre•.r 1rl1eat tmd oates and other c:r.:-ops, and neighbors hel:oed one another. She reme!::::.ber.s fondly their neighbors - the Washingtons, Joneses, Stones, Holinsons and others. 11 Hy fath~r would helJ:i then wj_th their harvesting and then they would come help him ·wj_th his. He didn 1 t think of our neighbors as Imelos or Indians, but just as people. 'de had no tTouble and we were happy. 11 Tho greatest improvement in the area· since the 1920 's acco2•ding to, Sunshine has been tl1e roads. Pavement and graveling hns made a great1difference in convenience.

At the crest of a small rise the clear swift Navajo River came into view. The shouts · of the children and the smile on their mother's face were signs almost as plain as the warmth of the day that the long cold mountain winter was over and once again the time of new life and renewal had begun. The wagon stopped on a grassy rise near the river. The mother gave swift directions. 11 Ben, unhitch the team. Conrado, unload the wagon. M~nuel, gather some firewood. Lucio, get a pail of water right away. 11 The Cruzes were camped at the river several times a year for a very simpl~ reason. When you can't take the river to the wash, you take the wash to the river. Bedding, quilts, mattress covers, clothing,curtains,· and every other washable item in the house hold was brought the eight miles to the river several times a year, i.va.shed by hand in the rocky shallows on the washboard, dried, folded and carried home smelling sweetly of mountain air and sunlight. Each wash requixed 3-4 days . The boys fished, hunted, waded in the river, frolicked, ate like mules, helped with the washing chor~d when necessary and. enjoyed the whole affair. Conrado Desiderio (C.D.) Cruz, 2nd son of Leandro and Rafelita Cruz was born in Chimayo, N.M. on February 19, 1914. The fa mily moved to Chama, then to Haines north of. Cuba and finally to Dul ce ·where Leandro worked in a lumber mill. Leandro wanted land of his owno When he heard about a homestead available near the town of Edith, he took the chance and filed on 160 acres of dry land. Soon after the Cruzes settled on their land, their neighbors came in force, chopped down trees, hauled logs and helped erect a well-constructed, warm log house. This same cooperative spirit prevailed during the rest of the year. 11 0ur neighbors watched one another's fields. Wherever the wheat ripened first, the whole neighborhood would gather for the harvest. The wheat was cut with hand s cyt hes and tied i n small bundles. As soon as one fiel d was finished, t he ",'.Orkers would move to the next ripe field. If the moon was bright, t he men often stayed with t he job until 12:00 or 1 :oo. We enjoyed hel pin g our neighbors and got a lot of work done together. I think people were happier then. 11 The Cruzes raised most of what they ate potatoes,beans~habas, squash, peas, blue corn, fruit, wheat,oats and blue corn. Whenever they needed flour, they and their neighbors would take several wagon loads of wheat and corn to the mill at Bayfield 9r the one at Tierra Amarilla. It would take several days to reach the mill and then perhaps a week for the grain to be ground. Those who had money paid for the grinding. Those who had no money could pay the miller with grain. It was a good thing the Cruzes raised their own wheat. C.D. says with a family of eleven it was common to use up a 50 lb. sack of flour each week. Garden produce was either dried or kept in the cellar. Dried apples, apricots and peaches were apportioned out to the children during the winter. The children relished these fruits as .much as any Sunday sucker. C.D. did not get to attend school every year and when he did, it was usually for only 2-3 months in the winter. He rode a burro to aschool 8 miles across the border in Colorado , carrying hay _for the animal and lunch for himself in a 3 lb. lard can. 11 1 wasn't any angel," C.D. freely I �. . admits. 11 Whenever the teacher sent a student to the river for wj_llows, it was usually me or Ben ·they were used on. 11 When it came to throwing r ocks, dipping a girl 1 s pigtails in ink, getting into fights or playing hockey, it was C.D. involved more often than not. A girl named Margie Abeyta was a special problem to C. D. I! She ·was a bookworn and a tattletale. Even when I hadn't done anything, she would tell on me and the teacher would always believe he:r.n C.D. hated old Margie as only children can hate. He would never have believed it if anyone had ever told him that Margie would one day be his wife. ) During the summers C.D. and Ben were assigned to herd the sheep in the hills near their home. C .,D. 11 suffered 11 from a strange affliction which can only be called 11 sleeping sickness 11 • 11 .As soon as ·we 1 d get the flock over the first hill, I'd find a s hady patch of bushes, lie down and go to sleep. 11 Ben complained, . Hr . Cruz t hreatened, but Co D. couJ.dn' t resist t he lure of his siestas. 11 Dad caught me one day, took me straight to the house and told Mother to put me t o bed and keep me there all day. I couldn't sleep a wink in the house. I guess that broke me.n Over the years Leandro and Ra.felita slowly inq:reas13d their flock until they a.ad· about 1 ,ooo head. C.D. r emembers November of 1931 . The lambs had been separated and taken d otm fro m the high c ountry . The e,·m s were still there. No one expected 7 feet of snow that wi n t er , much les s did t hey expect it to start t his early. Over n ight 3-4 fee t fell . The herdsmen s tarted immed.:i.ately for their w1nter grounds in Gobernador Ca.nyon. I t continued to snm·1. 11 We broke a trail for tl;l.e flock with the horses and mules until their legs ·were sore and bleeding. · Every day many sheep dlod. He finally realized the snow was as deep at Gobernador as it Wc"cS in the mountains and just gave 'lp. Only about 50 sheep survi•ved. That winter just about wiped out everybody. 11 ~ One year C.D. 1 s cousin, who had bought 10 acres on the Navajo River, hired him and Ben to clear the willoi.vs. They worked 1 5 days f o:c a • 22 r ifle and a guitar; t hen another 5 days for a violin. Nei ther of the boys had ever played an i nstrument before., nor was there a nyone to give t hem lessons) but they taught themselves to play and soon were being h ired for parties, weddings and other celebrations. Wr.1.en times got har d in the '30 1 s, C. D. joined the CCC and wa~ sent to camp a t Los Alamos, NoM. He was paid $25.00 per month. $20.00 was sent h ome and the other $5.00 was issued to the boys in the form of coupons for candy, cigarets, etc. The boys were often given passes to Espanola or Albuquerque o:r Santa Fe for the weelrnnds, but anyone who had not returned to camp by bed check was put on KoP. for 2-3· months. Conrado was on K.P. a lot of the time. · When C. D. and ifargie Abeyta (his old enemy from grade ssl1.ool) dec1ded to get married, both sets of parents were opposed. Tb.eir reasoning was sj_mply that a horse and a mule shouldn't get ma1 ried. C,D. was known as a. hell-raiser and Margie uas a school teacher and pretty much the same book worm as before; but inspite of the OPlJOsition, t hey were married in 1935, C.D. worked as a logger while Eargie taught s chool. From 1939-48 C.D. herded sheep in Utah from sprirg to late fall and spent the winters at home. They had four children"".' Ivonne, DavJ.d, Sofie and Deanne. Margie died in 1955. 1 After working in the coal mines in Dragerton, Utah, and on the pipelines near FarmiD;gton, C.D. moved to Ignacio and married Concie Keys �3 in 1960. They have one daughter, Kathy. Today, C. D. still plays his violin for weddings and parties c:md has a good ttme wherev_er he goes. Like his fa ther-:i.n-la.1.,r, Louie Valencia, he 1 s a good guy with a little bit of the devil in him.

Even though the machine they :were watching was still far down the road, the boys coul_d hear its rhyt.hr:J.ic pop-pop-popping as it approached. A lone figure in -the ~uto sat very straight, holding stiffly to the steering bar. The boys were excited because they were encountering their first automobile. They would have been more excited had they known they were about to see their first auto wreck. The driver, approaching at a fast clip, was unaware of a stretch of eeep sand in the road, The hard front wheels sunk into the sand; the steering bar jerked from the driver 1 s hands; and as the boys stared .in fascination, the auto promptly capsized. Hastings, a town of about 4,000 in southern Michigan ,was a good place to live in 1898. Located mid-way between the cities of Chicago and Detroit, it was an especially good place for a curious teen-age boy to observe the mechanization and scientific revolution occurring in America. The town was surrounded by rolling, forested hill s with rnai;iy clear streams running thI'ough the country-side. A person c ould hardly travel a mile in any direction without finding a pond or lake. George was born there on October 22, 1886, the son of Martha and Willian Hams. William was a carpenter, then started a grocery and bakery and did well with these businesses. 11 We al~ays had plenty to eat, 11 George remembers, 1 ' beca:use many of the farmers who traded in the store di dn 't have any cash and would pay for their supplies with meat or fruit or other garden produce. Our meat house was always _full of hams and turkeys. The Hams bought a summer cabin on Gunn Lake near Hastings. George, his brother William, and their mother spent the summers at the lake. It was a grand life for a boy. The long summer days were occupied with fishing, swimming, boating and playing with friends. On week-ends ~,r. Hams would travel out to the lake in an open buggy with an umbrella top. . As fall approached, the family moved back to town for school enrollment . Mr. Hams bought wood and set the boys to splitting it. 11i-'te mainly used maple, oak and beech for firewood. Even after we installed a coal furnace, mother used wood in t he cook stove. 11 Every fall the Hams gathered walmuts , butternuts and hazelnuts. George liked some fun with his nut gathering . After a freeze he liked to climb carefully into the branches of a nut tree overhanging a path er lane and wait for someone to come along. At the strategic moment he would jump vigorously up and down on the branches and bomb the daylignts out of his victims. As it is today, winter was a marvelous time for kids. 11We would sharpen our skates like razors and race up and down the river or around the ponds near town. · If we wanted to ski, we usually ties barrel staves to our feet; or if we wanted something better, we took elm wood to the engineer at the furnlture factory. He steamed and shaped the wood. Then we tacked old shoes to the boards and had a pretty fair set of skis. Each fall Mr. Hams traded supplies to one of the farmers for ten gallons of wine which he kept in a barrel in the cellar. What boy could resist sampling it? George surely didn 1 t. One day he and Lee Canfield sneaked into the cellar and sampled and sampled and sampled. 11 We got sick, 11 George remembers. George has good memories of school days. · He was an honor student most of the time. He admits to getting into mischief (some of which he • �- ·- ·- j .,. 3 ;;i_ ' II _ ' • won I t tell a bout), but does a dmit to playing ''Penny ot\. a Board with '1 greenhorns who moved into Hastings. To play "Penny oft a Board" George · would bring out a pile of sand on a shingle, push a penny into the pile and s et it on the ground. Severa l youngsters, including the greenhorn lined up a ways from the pile anq on the count of three raced to see who could get the penny. Actually , the innocent-looking sand pile was . more than sand. It was a pile of very fresh cow dung or other manure covered with sand. As you can guess, .the greenhorn was allowed to win and "Wound up with more than h e coul~ handle. · In 1905' GeoI'ge's father sold out i n Michigan and moved to Lake Arthur, New Mexico, south of Rosi·rnll where he bought a hardware and lumber business. Since George had only one year of high scheol left to finish , he was allowed to remain in Hastings. After high School George was apprenticed to a pharmacist in Grand Rapids. He rented a small apartment nearby and began his training . George dated a pretty little girl named Amy Belle Cope who came into the drugstore occasionally. Amy wo±-ked at the Fox Typewriter Co . in GrandRapids. On dates George and attended silent mcvies, burlesque shows and the circus (AI::ty especially liked the side shows) . Vaudevulle s hows were $.35 in the e-yening and ~t.15 in the afternoon . They made frequent visits to ice cream parlors, ra.rely to reataur ants. George and Amy were married in 1910 . In 1911 Vi ola was· borJt. She was their only child. Amy The Hams made occasional trips to visit his parents in New 1-foxico. Cars had become quite common, but good roads were rare . They have vivid memories of trips across the plains . vI'nile crossir,ig Oklahoma on one t rip the Hams came t o a region ,,r hich had been soaked with heav-.1 rain. 'ltJhen t hey got bogged at the bottom of a hil l, Amy agreed to get out and pu sh. Once the car got going, George couldn 1 t stop. Not only was Amy s plattered with mud f r om head to foot , she also had to walk all the way up the hill through deep mud to r each the car. Another time the Hams had completely bogged dm,m in a mud hole and were feel ing hopeless until four young men on motorcycles appeared. The cyclists got off their machines, walked over to the car(one to each fender) picked the car up·with the Hams s till inside, set it on firm ground and left. In 1920 when Viola was about 9, Amy contractei tuberculosis. The doctors recommended that she go to a dry climate like new Hexico for treatment. A year later she was pronounced cured •. If 10 year old Viola h~dn't asked f or an i ce cream cone a s t hey passed through Hagerman , N.H., on t heir ·way back: holile to Grand Rapids) the Hams family might still be in Michigan. George stopped, went in to the drug store for t he ice cream and discovered the store was for sale. He bought it on the spot. Life in Hagerman on the legendary Pecos River was quite different from life in Grand Rapids. The Harns bought a place near the Russel Ranch and became good friends of the Russel family, who proved to be invaluable help when most any problem arose. George_got a few cows to raise. When it came time for one of the calves to be weaned from its mother, Amy had trouble. Mrs. Russel, who weighed about 200 lbs., came over to help. She stepped astride the shoulders of the calf, grasped its head and ears and forc ed its head into the bucket. "If it gets balky any more , just do that, 11 Hrs. Russel advised. The next day Amy decided to try force feeding t he calf. It had not occurred to her ·tha.t a differencl:! in weight of 110 lbs. would matter. Ai-ny, who weighed only 90 lbs . got astride the calf and got the ride of her life. Any had �lf as good a sense of humor about this as about the nud. George O!:Jerated the .drug store in Ha.german- from 1921 till 1946. Though he preferred not to be,he was considered a counter doctor by many of the residents of the area. George and An.y seweo. up more peo:ol~ than they like to remember. none man had such -8. large k..""lif e wound~ we could 2ee his heart beating. 11 As in all parts of the country duriI!g the great depression, many transients ca::ie through Hagernan. 11We never refused anyone a prescription, money or no Boney. One fanily passing through asked for medicine for a siclc baby. Years later we received. a letter from them with money for the prescription.I? Viola moved to Ignacio in the 1940' s. 1'H1en the Hams cane to visit, the green trees and flowing streams brought back memories of 1-!ichiean. They had always cissed the green countryside while living on the dry !)lains. In 19l+6George and .A:my bought, 40 acres north of Ignacio 5 reI11odeled the house and spent many hapryy years here.

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.

His great-grandparents migrated to California from the Candelaria Valley in Spain, By the time Manuel's father, Joe was born, the family lived in Chile, N:M. 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 .

Over early opposition their voices began to be heard in various dioce·a san meetings tl.xoDghout Southwestern Colorado.

VIDA RITTER ~ Mary La Vida Wayt, daughter of Louis and Margaret Wayt was born October 29, 1891, in Indian Territory(now Oklahoma) four miles from Maysville, Arkansas. Folks in the .a rea . referred to it · as "Lapland". meaning the reg ion where Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri have a common border. Vida has only slight memories of those early years. Her family left Indian Territ ory and moved to Texas for a while and then ba.c k to Indian Territory. One thing she does remember is crossing the Red River. Crossing the prairie rivers was an experience to be reme~bered, especially if it were the big ones. There were fe~, if any, bridges anywhere in the Indian Territory and none across the big rivers. The Red River in many places is a mile wide. The amount of water depends on the season of the year~ Ferries were not possible since even in flood season the water is deep only in a few channels. Most of the year the river- consists mainly of sand bars, treacherous mud bogs, quicksand and log-stre\'m shallows.1 Getting across was mainly a matter of slogging through the · mud flats, avoiding the quicksand and hoping the wagon· would float. Vida remembers a . fri ghtful crossing. Her family made it across all right, : but not everyone was so lucky. When the Wayt•s moved back to Oklahoma, they settled on a farm just across the border from Chetopa, Kansas .. Most of their neighbors in the area were Cherokee Indians. It may seem unusual to gather nuts to go fishing, but that's what they and their neighbors did. Buckeyes, small nuts growing profusely in the area, have a chemical which stuns fish, The men would p ound the nuts into a meal, scatter the meal on a pool in the "crick" and almost immediately the fish in the pool would float belly-up to the suface. Vida ;was very frightened when the men jumped into the water . whooping and hollering, but her mother explained what was happening, "and then," she recalls, "we had a real fish fry." There is a section of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa kno.wn to weathermen as 'cyclone alley•. This region has some of the most frequent violent weather on the continent. Nearly everyone today, as well as then, has a cellar for refuge during tornado weat her. V~da recalls the old dugout cellar her father built and recalls she was more frightened of the snakes and spiders · anct creepy things she imagined in the cellar t.han of the tornados. However, her father knew what he was doing. One day when the family scurried to the cellar a tornado twisted their house on its foundation, requiring her father to prop up one wall with log-sand poles. The Wayts raised corn, black-eye peas and sugar cane. At an early age Vida was taught to milk and was assigned the job of washing the pails and the. separator. When Vida was 12, her father sold the farm and moved to Pueblo to . work in the steel mi.1 1. Shortly after arriving in Colorado Vida saw a sigh~ she could harly believe. She said,"Oh, mother look at that wagon going without any horses." The year was 1904 and that was Vida's first encounter with a mot.orized vehicle. After a year Louis moved his family to a: .farm near La Jara in the San Luis Valley . where they stayed for ~hree years. "We raised potatoes and field peas and did all rig ht, but it was too cold and windy there- to suit us." Vida was sixteen when the Wayts moved to the Pine River Valley and settled in this region for good. ~he fam~ly took the train to.Ignacio and rode in the mail wagon to Bayfield. We always traveled light. Dad sold everything but our personal belongings whenever we moved. It was too difficult and expensive to move furniture and implements. Everywhere we went we had to start all over again. · I I I l ~ • �3) iouis got a job as a logger in the woods north of ~ayfield for a When the 'town of Ignacio·· was organized , Louis v1as hired on the survey team. which . named the streets and laid them out. Later Louis constructed the · building which· is now the north section of the SUARC Lodge and Mrs. Wayt operated it as a hotel. Vida attended the OC~rrison School. She remembers well the day at school when whe looked out of the window to see a tall · young man riding a horse along the r oad. Vida had no idea this ' yo ung man would one day become her husband. At the age of eighteen Vida started dating Paui Ritter . "Paul and I liked to dance. All of the young people in the area would pile into a wagon·· or onto a sled. if it was . winter and go to Spring Creek or Bayfi eld or wherever there was a dance . . On Sunday there were horse races up Goddard Ave. in Ignacio and ball games and,finally, someone started a movie theater (silent pictures, of course). · . . Vida and Paul were married in Durango in t he home of Paul 's parents on Aptil 10, 1911. "After the wedding , we drove l;>ack to the ranch in our buggy. Since the sprng and s ummer work was just getting started, we put off o:ur honeymoon until the fall." After the . crops \vere in that fall Paul and Vida went to Denver. Paul had worked as a cartoonist for · the Denver Post and had many fri ~nds there • . The train . ride to Denv~r was an experience in itself·. Senator '\'lest obtained ticket passes for Paul. The. train steamed to Telluride, where they stayed overnight and then on to Denver the next day through Mont-rose , Gunnison, Salida , Canon Ci ty , Pueblo, and Colorado Springs. Vida en joyed the big city. Every evening the Ritters were guests of Paul's friends £or a nic e dirmer and a movie or concert or stage play. Paul never let Vlda forget that she went to sleep during the stage production of Ben Hur. Vida explains, "We had ;been out late every evening that week and I was tired." · The Ritters lived on the ranch for 33 years. They raised hay and gr~ins and animals of all kinds. Paul and Vida never had any childre~. but for a number of years they kept thr~e brothers, Ray and Ralph and Robert Dickey. Ray now lives in Alaska, Robert lives west of Ignacio . Ralph was killed in a construction accident in California after ·,,rw· -II. The Ritte~once owned a spirited trotting horse named Queenie: Vida . dearly loved to hitch her up and drive to town. One reason she needed to go to Ignacio regularly was t ·o ship cream on the train to Durango. She recalls one day that the time of day 6 ot away from her. A8 she left the houseshe noticed she had 12 minutes to cover the t~ee miles to the depot. Clipping down Goddard Ave, Vida could hear the train approaching. She whipped across the tracks ju.s t ahead o:f the train and · got aJl angry whistle from the engineer. · · Paul acquired one of the first automobiles in Ignacio, For a long time he wouldn't allow Vida .to drive. but she wouldn't stand for that forever. Vida practiced driving the car when Paul was away. One day when they left the house for town, Vida jumped under the wheel. and said, "I'm driving today." Paul was leery·and said, "Just to the gate, But Vida kept going. Paul said. "OK, but just to the main road." But again Vida just kept going. Vida states, "Paul had his hand on the door handle, ready to jump out the whole way, but I made it just fine." In addition to his farming, Paul . operated a business in Igna cio for many years. The Ri'tters inherited an interest in a cabin at Electra Lake and enjoyed many fun weekends th~~e with friends. . ) Paul died in 196J. · Vida has been alone for 12 years, but not really ', _, alone. She has many friends and receives a lot of attention from them. There are several r easons for this. ·· First and -probably the most imnortant is that Vida takes an interest in other people. Endless reci tat..i.,:,n of ::li.fe I s aches and pains are not the subject of. her conversation . . Vida year and then moved to a ranch J-4• miles north of Ignacio. 0 'I �keeps herself actiye, entertaining friends and going out whenever possible. Undoubtedly, she will continue to face life with the same courage, sense • of humor and good spirit that she always has shown. We wish her many more y·e ars of good memories, friend$hip and happines~ • Shelby Smith Easter Senior Social March 21, 1975 Who Where: 1 When \ s Hor s Riaes s Senior Citizens ( age 55 and older) in the Ignacio, Allison, Arboles, Oxford ahd La Boca areas Community 'center . . · · 12:00 noon, March 21, 1975 Catered by Pi!1o tTuche Resta ural"lt ( no on_e· rieedE:i to bring Pot-luck dishes to this social. ) Call 563-4561 if you n.eed a ride . ~ ~ .
