Not f ar from the Black Forest in the south part of Germany j_s the town of Baden- Baden . .Lridrew Hauer t and his family were the latest i n a long line of Hauerts who had lived and reared t heir families there . All the cor1mon people in Ger many had a c~aft. Jmdrew was a weaver • . He earned extra mqney working on the f arm of a large land ovmer . o,ming his m•m land ,,,as unthi nkable as. it was for most of the common people in Europe . When f....ridrew got the idea to come to America , his brothers did not approve at all, but Andrew persis ted for several r easons . Among them, he wanted to own land and he wanted . to get ~imself and his f ar.1i ly away from t he r!1 ili tar y . All the young men in Germany were d·raf ted , went through rigor ous training and were required to stay in the army a long time . In 1893 Andrew , hi s ·wife Lizzie and their . children sailed for America . His brothers were certain it was a foolish ventur e and t hat Andre,-, . woul d want to return, but they were wrong. Andrew didn ' t stop until he r eached Provo, Utah. There h·e worked for a while unt il he heard about a settlement of German people in Thor.ipson Par k bet·ween Durango and l-:iancos , Colorado. After moving his family to Colorado , A.1"1drew ,,,orked in the sawmill, then t).e l eased a ranch below He sperus. He had only ·,P7. 25 to start r anching, but he. managed. It 1.-,as her e t hat little Karl, who was only 2 years old when t he Hauerts car:ie. to America, began to learn farmin12: and ranching. 'db.en Karl was 6, his par ents boarded him with the Olberts at Thompson Park so he could attend school there. Fairly often the Utes visiting back and forth betueen Ute Nountain and I gnaci o stopped for the night at the Olberts r anch. Chief Ignacio was with theI:1 sometimes. ,· 11 • Usually , the Indinns would have supper with us, 11 Karl r ecalls, "and visit for a while . Once old Hr . Olbert decided to play a trick on one of the Indians . He placed a small piece of limburger cheese on his plate . As soon as the man smelled the cheese , he l eft t he house and refused to re turn . 11 A few years later Andrew bought a farm on Cherry Creek in Thompson Par k . Ka.rl r emembers. 11 That year we didn • t have much money . So we skinned and a te 7 deer . There wasn 't any season then. I got so tired of deer meat that year I have never lik ed it again. 11 As time pErmitted , the Hauer ts built a large farmhouse , a barn and other outbuildings . Their water was supplied by a spring which was piped into the house . For heat the Hauerts mined their O T1m coal. "He had to dig quite a ways back i nto the seam befor e we f ound good coal , but finally we found soue of the best in the area. 11 Karl and his father built a large , very strong corral. Unexpectedly, this made him some new friends and gave him a small bit of income once or twice a year . "A bunch of cowboys would round up wild horses in Utah and the four corners area and drive them to Denver to sell. They always stopped. at my father's r anch overnight because his corraJ. was the only one large enough and strong enough ·t o hold the animals . They always left the best t,.-,o horses for my dad. Re would break them to ride and sell them to the Indians for ;?5.00 or i,~10.00 each. 11 Karl a-rid Hinnie Helugin were married. They had three children: Ruth, Robert a_r1d Shirley all of ,-,hom ·were r eared on the r anch on Cherry Creek . Un~il 1905 t here was no church in Thompson Park. That year Julius Frese, an ordai ned r:::.i nister of the Lutheran Churchfrom Omaha moved there to organize a church. Eventually, a chapel ·was built to ser ve the people of that area . �Tbe Town of Ignaci o was naP1ed af t er Chief Igna cio, a sub-chief u nde1~ \-:ief Ouray of the 'i'ler.ii nuche band of Utes. He was an i ?:Jpress1.vc 1'!1an c·omria.ndi ng attention from everyone. Be stood six feet tall and was on~ of the tallest of the chiefs. Peaceable by natu:re, he was always t r ying to stop f i ghting and U? ri s ings which were usually brought on by cowboys or white settlers . Chief Ignacio ' s life was var:Led. and interesting . Hi s father was a ereat medicine man a;::ong his people . Or gjnially f r om Utah he spent most of hi s life i n t he Pine Hivar area . He was bor n i n 1828 .· In 1895 Congress recornized hir:1 as Chief of the Southern Utes a.nd gave him _;;500 . 00 f or h i s services. La.ny · times he s at in council with Ouray, Buck skir.. Charley and Severo. In his .late!' life he ,-,as honorar y Chief of Fol ice and commanded a salary of .,,;10 . 00 a ~onth. The white people bargained with Chief Ignacio on many occasions . They p:row.ised many benGficial things for h i s peopl e in exchange for his servj.ces . One of the sorrows in Chief 1t;nacio 1 s old age was that the ,-,hi te broth~r did not keep most of his promises .

When asked what it's like to grow up in a house full of people, Lucy says, ''My_ older brothers and sisters took care of me, carried me, dressed me and fed me. J·lother was busy all the time. She never stopped. The older kids had to help with the younger ones because mother had onl y a little time to spend with each child. When Lucy was 4 year s old her parents, Cornelio and Ferminia Val dez decided to leave Blanco., New Mexico, and moved to a farm south ot.: Ignacio . "When I look back on those days, I think how poor we were, especially compared with today. We each had one set of clothes and one pair of shoes. When the shoes were worn. completely out, father would try to buy us another pair. 11 •Father and the boys were always busy on the farm. They raised grains and hay. We produced our own potatoes and beans and corn and everything else we· could grow • . Mother dried apricots and peaches and vegetables. In the fall our cellar was full of potatoes, squash and apples. After it was cold enough, the butchering would start. The hams were coated with curing sugar, wrapped with cheese cloth and stored in the cool house. We hung a leg of beef outside and cover it with a sheet. Whenever we wanted meat we went out and-cut off whatever portion was needed. In the spring the leg of beef was moved into the cool house until it was used up." "We seldom ever came to town except to go to mass on Sunday. Dad and the boys hitched the team to the big wag,on. To keep our dresses clean we threw quilts into the back of the wagon. If the weather was bad we stayed home and Dad read the Bible to us. 11 Transpor tation in the ol d days s eems slow to people today, but it was dangerous at times . Lucy. recal ls , 1.ronce Dad and Mother and Mary wer e ·driving the wagon from La Boca to Ignacio. When the tail of one of the horses got caught in the reins, it became very frightened and bolted. Tlm •Wagon turned ov·e r . Dad and Mary were unhurt, but Mother I s leg was broken, · After Dad got the wagon t ipped up again, he lifted Mother inside and brought her to Dr . La Forge ." • Like most children of her generation, Lucy loved to ride horses. 11 We always rode bareback to br ing the cows in. We liked to ride fast and to race, At that time I woul d rather ride horses than anything." Lucy got to go to school in the country a few years, then the family moved to town. "I was a little afraid to go to school in town because I could speak hardly any English, but I met Jesse Stauffer and Frences Copeland and they became good friends. Within a week or so I could get along with the English pretty well. I began earning my f irst money washing and ironing clothes for Mrs. Wayt (Vida Ritter 1 s mother). I went earl y before school t o wash and hang the clothes. At noon I would take them off the line and sprinkle them. Then in the evening I ironed them. I made $. 7 5 an hour doing that. 11 11 I . Dad didn t care for dances, but Mother loved them. She often took us kids to the dances at the S.P.M.D.T.U. Hall. It was at one of the dances there that I met Andy Duran. Andy's first wife had dierr some time before. We dated for about two years and then decided to get married. Andy Duran was born in Purango on October 29, 1902. His mother died when he was still a small child, so his grandpa.rents raised him \ ) �3. ;i,, in Rosa, N.M. Andy quit the 8th grade to go to work on . the railroad. He was still working on the railroad when he and Lucy were married. The Dura.t1s have 1 O children, Andy Jr., Cornelio, .Jack, Orlando, Rudy·, . . -1 Lillian, Eileen, Corinne, Martha and Yolanda. As a railroad employee Andy and his family had free tickets to ride the train. Most of their travel was back and forth to Durango for shopping and visits. In 194-1 Andy was moved to Rico as Section Boss. After a couple of years there he got an opnortunity to·work in the mines at Telluride and Ophir and stayed with that for 12 years. That is definately not easy work, but living ther e provided a magnificent place for the children to grow up . Probably no place in this country has more spectacular scenery or more opportunity for outdoor fun than the mountains around Telluride. Lucy remembers, 11 0ur house was full of fishing gear, snow shoes and skiis. The boys were.out camping or hiking or fishing er hunting as much as they could. Even today the boys take their families over there and 11 camp and fish and· try to share that beautiful place with their children. Boys, even good boys like Andy' s and Lucy ' s, are r ascally at times. They were in and out of mischief, 11 Lucy recal ls . "I especially remember the time they and their friends were dar ing one another to ride the tram cable across the valley." A trara withbig ore -buckets carr ied the ore from the mine down to the mill. Unknown to us the boys had been daring one another to jump up and grab a hold of the. cable and hold on until it carried them across the valley to the next hill where they could jump off. I guess some of them had been doing :tt. Finally, it was Cornelio 1 s time. What he didn't know was how close it was to 12:00 noon. At noon the mine whistle went off and everything, including th0 tram stopped while the miners had lunch. Cornelio was about half ';Jay across the valley when the whistle blew and the cable stopped. Well, i no one can hold on for an hour. Cornelio's arms gave out, he fell and fortunately, only broke a leg. 11 For several years the family lived in company housing at the mine at Altus. Sometimes we were sno\.;red in for a week, but we always had plenty of coal· and plenty of food stoclrnd u:p. Avalanches would cover the roads and the big rotary plows would haYe to come. dig it all out. 11 As anyone kno,;.1s who lives around Ignacio, Andy and Lucy have wonderful children. Their method of child rearing is as follows: nwe always tried to make our children understand that God should be first in peoples lives and then a good education so that they can earn a living and be of use to others. Children should be whipped when they are bad .until about age 12. From then on they have minds of their oi<m and if they haven't learned right from wrong by then it 1 s probably too late, anyway. 11 When the mines closed around Tellurinde about 1954, the Du.rans moved back over to Ignacio. Andy did farm work around this area until it was time to retire. But like many other active people have discovered, retirement is not necessarily that much fun. So Andy is working again this summer. When asked if there is something she would like to do that's never been possible, Lucy replies, 11 ! have al\•mys dreamed of going to Rome to see the Pope, but that's a long way over there. 11 Even if Lucy never gets to go, she and Andy can look back on a panarama of ,life experiences with many good memories. Their lives have sp2...nned great changes in this country :nl they still enjoy- good heal th, \._) We wish them many more years of health and happiness and their children many more reunions at Telluride. · Shelby Smith 11 �September 19 ·senior Social (with a session on Arthritis) Welcome to our Sentember Social!

I think the house is still · there. My father built a good barn and corral. We had chickens and milk goats and hogs and range cattle and riding horses and draft horses. The draft horses were 11 Perchn (Percherons) and weighed 1500 to 2000 lbs. They could really plow and pull the wagons. Hy father raised wheat and hay for the animals and potatoes and beans for the family. 11 When Jimmy I s mother died j_n June of 1 907, J·immy and his father and his sister Grace and his brothers Julian and Frank and Cassey faced a l onelier world~ It was still two years until J·immy 1 s father took him to' t he Indian School at Ignacio . During summer starting at the age of 12 Jimmy was sent to the hills to herd the cattle. "I rode my horse up to the Vega every week to count the cows. Some of them would be way up in the brush. \fnen we went up some of the steep h:i.lls I would get off the hor se and grab a hold of his tail and he would pull me right up. The first year I went up I was afraid a lion or a bear or a bobcat would get me, but I never had any trouble. 11 One of these trips Jim.my will never forget. He was late g_etting started back and then it started to rain and how it.rained! 11 Before I got out of the Vega ·, it started to rain. By the time I got to the Di pping Vat on Cat Creek my horse and I were both soaked and it· was so dark we cot~ldn I t see nothing except · when those big lighten~rtgs came down . I didn't get home until 1 : 00 or 2 :00 o'clock. n In the days when Jimmy was a boy, one of the best ways and certainly one of the most exciting 1-rays to obtain new weal th and val ua b1 e property -, was to hunt the wild horses in the hills above Caracas. Jimmy and his father and brothers sometimes were gone several days patiently tracking, listening, stalking and then off on a wild chase t o rope a few or, if possible, to drive a herd into a box canyon. 11 0ur friends Tito and To_ny and Narc is so Gomez sometimes went with us• Then we all got together to brand the horses and break them . Our brand was a curved arrow with a split tail like this~ 1 11 In the winter of 1915 we went out one morning and all our horses were gone . ·we told the marshall, Porfirio Chavez. There was deep snow and he tracked the men all the way to Lumberton and brought our horses back and put the men in jail in Pagosa. They turned out to be so~e of our neighbors. After the trial, they were put in the pen." Jimmy lived at Caracas until 1916, then he moved over toward Ignacio . In 1918. he was drafted and sent to Brwonsville, Texas, then to Laredo, then to San Antonio and finally to Ft. Riley in Kansas. Ji!llIIlY was in Company A, 9th Engineers and was trained to be a blacksmith; During the First World War the army had some motorized vehicles, bu:t it also retained many horses and mules and wagons. Therefore, blacksmiths were needed to shoe the horses and to keep the wagon wheels in repair. Jimmy would have been sent to France soon, but, as he explains, 11 Woodrow Wilson and Ka~.ser v.filhelm signed the peace." When Jil'Il.I:'.ly was mustered out of the army in 1921, he decided he wanted to see the country, so for a while he rode. the rails. "I went all over the country as far as Bismark/, North Dakota, but I never got caught because I moved like the coyote. 1 • �Then J-immy got a job on this D. & .R. G. W.

(GORMAlf) JONES Charlotte Gorman was born in Chicago, the daughter of William and Frances Gorman, both of whom were Canadian i mmigrants born near Toronto, Ontario. ·when William and Francis met in Chicago in 1900, she was working as a bookkeeper·ror t he Balti~ore and Ohio Railroad . William worked for the Chicago Street Railr oad Co . which operated horse-drawn street cars all over the Chicago Metro ar ea . Women were supposedl y unliberated in 1900, but Frances played golf often and well. Both she and William were interested in the theater. Years later Charlotte says s he recalls hearing them talking about the Barrymores and th~ Drews and other f amous acting families of that period. Host recreation in Chicago during the summer centered around Lake Michigan . "In the summer my mother and her brothers and sisters usually rented a houseboat on the lake. The boat was moored to a pier off the shore several miles from. town. The only access to town was a pac~et boat which came along once a day . If we wanted to go to town for shopping or to send mail , we raised a flag on the boat as a signal for the pack3t boat to stop . These vacations were a cool relaxing time of swimming , fishing, sunbathing and r est. 11 Charlotte's memories of Chicago , such as those above, have been reinforced by her par ents, since she was only about four years old when t he Germans moved to the Ozar ks.. Before William retired he began dabbling in the buying and selling of real estate. He moved the family on to one of his plots near Ironton and Burbank, Miss ouri, about 90 miles south of St. Louis. During t he year and a half t he Gormans were there, William was the post master in Ironton. Then William heard of the Loma Land Development Co., which was opening farming land in the Colorado River Valley west of Grand Junction and Fruita. William and many other easterners invested in far mland there. A Presbyterian Mission was opened at Loma and is still operating, but the farm projects did not do so well. Neither the Germans nor the other easterners had heard of alkali land. Most of the farms at Loma proved largely unsuitable for irrigated farming. Therefore the Gormans moved to Orchard Heights near Fruita. Then began some of the most enj oyable years of Charlotte's life. "Orchard Heights was a beautiful place. We could look right up into the Colorado National Monument from our yard. The orchards, mostly apples, occupied hundreds of acres. Our place was rented from a New Yor k State man who had planted every kind of apple we knew about and many varieties we never knew the names of . 11 Charlotte and her br other, Douglas traveled to school at Fruita 3 miles away in a horse - drawn school bus. The bus consisted of a wagon with seats along the sides and benches for ,the little ones down the middl e . It was roofed and had black oil -cloth curtains which could be closed during bad weather. . "All the young ones in our area played "hide-and-go-seek ' and went swimming during the warm months . During winter we had community parties or went ice s kating on t he stock ponds . 11 Fall was a time of work, a time of apple picking and potato digging and of constructing apple boxes . The grower s built their own appl e boxes from pre-cut sticks .a nd boards . Charlotte remembers doing her share of nailing. Then the apples were pa cked , hauled to the Railroad Depot and shipped. Farm children have opportunities for varieties of pets largely unavailable to city kids. Charlotte remembers one pet lamb which became a nuisance 1n the neighborhood. ) �:2_ "He would follow our buggy wherever we went. Once he followed us all the way to Loma where he made himself a nuisance in the flower beds. Almost the whole town turned out to make sure he followed us when we left." When Charlotte was about.10 years old, her parents moved to another place near Fruita where they attended a country school for gr~des 4-8. William grew potatoes and tomatoes as well as apples there. "While we were there a counle of burros ca!!l.e to live with us. They just showed up. Douglas would try to ride one of them to school, but he usually didn't make it. About halfway there the burro. would turn around and head for home and Doug would have to walk all the way to school ·anyway. 11 Charlotte loved to read and did a lot of WTiting, too. At the age of 9 she announced that she intended to be a newspaper reporter. 11 I don 1 t know why I said that, but it nmst have been a premonition of things to come. 11 In high school Charlotte especially enjoyed English, dramatics and journalism. She was the editor of the first Fruita High School newspaper. In college, Charlotte majored in journalism and would have accepted a job on the Grand Junction newspaper, but the wages were · too low. Instead she taught .school in Fruita for l+ years. i ; r first came to the San Juan Basin to visit a college friend who lived in Cortez. I stayed. in Durango a while at the SterJ_ing Hotel which was operated by Lawrence Wiseman's mother. Mrs. Wiseman and I became good friends and she took me ~Tith her on a visit to Ignacio to see Lawrence and Hargaret. It was on this visit that I met my future husband. Fay Jones worked at the sugar beet mill in Brighton during the fall and early winter. During spring and sumruer he came back to Ignacio to help his. aunt and uncle run the Comme!'cial Hotel which was located on Goddard Ave. where the recent Bill Liese auto repair shop is located. 11 The hotel has burned down: 'since then. but in its day Charlotte says it was a very nice place and.an interesting place to stay. "All kind of travelBrs, including Washington officials hereon Tribal business were there. The parlor was a place of lively conversation and fun in the evenings. The restaurant served delicious food. A complete Sunday dinner cost $.40." Inflation operated then, too. Charlotte says Louis Morris recalls what a blow i t was when the Sunday di nners increased f ram $. l+o to $ . 50 per =i_eal. 11 I s tayed there in tb.e hotel several days. They were so snort handed that I was offe:i:'eo. a job and took it. It ·was there I got a cquainted with Fay. We got married ~n November ,of 1933 . Fay worked i n t h e mill i n Brighton t ill Christmas time. Then we ca~e back to Ignacio. 11 _ Since steady jobs were almost ~mpossible to find during those depression years, when Fay a..~d Charlotte got a chance to buy the Ignacio Chieftan, they took it. At that time the Chieftan was located in otehalf of the building now occupied by Rudy's Lounge. The other half of the building was Mr. Stauffer 1 s Barber Shop ( Jessie Hott's father ) . Charlotte was the editor and renorter and Fay was the publi sher a~d advertising manager ; . It wasn't- easy to keep a newspaper alive during the 30 1 s.

I •r I �- PAULINE RODRIQUEZ When Pauline Ruth DeHerrera was born at Antonito, Colorado , on Sept. 15, 1907, Spanis h people had been living in the Rio Grande and San Luis Valleys f or a very long time. The dates in the graveya r ds , if nothing else, will tes tif y t o that. The old Conej os communi ties of Antonito, Las Mesitas , Mannasa and Espinoza s till mainta i n a Spanish flavor. The Las Mesit as Church with its two steeples i s a s triking landmark. Beside it is the church yard were generations of Pauline 1 s ancestors are buried. Pauline's parents, Alfred and , Adala Rodriquez, owned a home and small acreage near Antonito, but in the sumr:ier the whole family headed f or the mountains. Alfr ed was a cowboy. In May many farmers turned their cattle over to him to t ake into the high sum:1ier range near Cumbr es . "Dad would drive the cattle along , some times as many as 500, and Mother and all of us children foll owed in t he buggy. We had a·cabin overlooking a big meadow. It was such a carefr ee life. We picked strawberries by the· gallons. They were s mall, but , oh, s o s weet. Other days Mother sent us for gooseberries. Once in t he gooseberry patch my brother Chris and I got a· terrible fright. We were picking when suddenly we came to a place under some overhanging branches where the grass and flowers were flattened like a nest. Some of the stems were still springing up. It was so plain we had just roused some animal (our imagination told us it was a bear). We screamed and threw our buckets into the air and ran. Occasionally , Dad took off a little t :Lme for fishing. o~ar favo rite place was La Laguna Azul , a beautiful mountain lake wlth gold water lilies along one side . We caught a lot of .fish there. Always we wanted to see• a deer, but we never saw one. I guess those mountains were hunted out in those days . About once a month we went down to Antonito to stock up on groceries . 1ie would leave on Saturday and come back on Monday. Dad had two beautiful mares just for our buggy trips. We had such a relaxed and carefree life until the fall when the cattle were branded and moved down to the farms. 11 Pauline remembers one time that was definately not carefree. In the Spring of 1911 there was a terrible flood all across Southern Colorado. Alfred was already in the mountains with the cattle. When Adala and 0 the children awoke that morning the fields around them were a lake. There was water in every direction. My grandmother Lujan was there with us and we decided it might be higher at her place in Las Mesi tas, so mot her went out and hitched up the mares. We went through deep water, but the r eal t r ouhle came when we got to the Las Mes itas Ditch (which was as large as t he All i son Ditch). The bridge was washed away and the men on t he other side said,'Don't cone across. The mares will drown and so will you! • My ~other was very brave. She de cided it was better to t r y than to be trapped on the low side. The mares wen t clea r under . Mother j u mped from the buggy and lifted the head of one of t he mares out of the water. Finally one of the men jumped in to help and the mar es began to swim. When we got to the other shore, we were all soaked t o the bone and crying. There was water around Grandmother Lu j an' s house too, but it didn't get any deeper. In a couple of days it went down . All our chickens were gone and-everybody's crops were ruined." Idyllic and pl easant as a Rocky Mountain summer can be, winter is another thing, especially in the San Luis Valley. Then the valley becomes a col d and windy place with vast, drafty blizzards howling dorm its l ength. Every evening bef ore bed Pauline and Chris had to .a..-- ..._.., __ _ _ - -••---- •~•-. ~ __. �u~el enouoh notatoes for the n ext d~y and place them in water to keep them :-,bite . "Every l!lorning the ho1..1Se was cold. Dad got up first _to light the coal oil lamp and to 'build a fire in the kitchen. Then I had to get up to slice and start f r ying the potatoes. Then mother got up and. illade biscuits, white gravy, fried eggs and always oatmeal with lots of .fresh milk and butter . 11 Pauline and all the children needed a good breakfast,since ·they walked 11 three miles to school at Esuinoza. Sometimes it was an ordeal. When the weather got real bad, m:y father wrapped our feet in gunny sacks and tied them to our ankles with wire. At school our teacher would unwrau the sacks, hang then to dry by the fire, then help us put them back on when it was time to leave. That was all we could do,because, of course, none of us had over.shoes. 11 Pauline feels that one mistake many parents made at that tj_me was to keen their children out of school too mu6h. 11 Some of the boys in the 5th-and 6th grades were great big things, old enough to be ·in high scho9l today and when they would get restless and bad, I can remember the teachers sending them to the river to bring their own willows to be whipped. 11 Alfred DeHerrera liked politics. In Pauline 1 s words, 11 he was always 'taken' by politics. 11 About 1924 Alfred decided to run for sheriff of Conejos County. If there wa.s any big money around to buy the politicians into office, ·Alfred didn't get any of it. He had to use his o-wn. When he lost the election, the family was nearly broke. To help recover the losses Alfred moved the family to Millikin which was about half-way between D-enver and li't. Collins where he could get farmwork. 11 We· didn't stay. there very long. It was strange country to us. Dad worked lm!g enough to buy a car and then we headed back for the valley. We .stopped to visit someone in Salida9 While we were there. Dad found a job in a creosote plant~ so we stayed and bought a home there. I was about 16 or 17 by then. 11 Soon afterward Pauline met Vic Rodriquez. 11 Vic was one of' 12. His mother was dead. Hy mama tried to help those kids~ She sewed and mended their clothes and asked them in for cookies and did rr:any oth0r things which only a mama can do. 11 Vic was working on the tram line to Shirley when he turned sweet on Pauline. 11 He began signing his checks and just handing them to me. Mama said I better not spend any of that because if Vic and I broke up, ther0 could be trouble over the money. So I ~ut it all in the bank. 1' Vic and Pauline were married in 1928. Pauline handed Vic $900.00, every penny of what he had given her. With the $900.00 Vic set up a saw mill at trujillo southwest of Pagosa. Whatever lumber wasn't sold locally was trucked to Jaunita and shipped on the train tn other ~~rket~. Later Vic moved his mill to Blanco Basin and finally to Red Creek north of Bayfield. · When the government started building Vallecito Dam in 1937, Pauline got a new job. She started doing laun~ry for all the crews working on the dam. 11 I had a gasoline _powered Maytag tha.t ran fron 7 :00 A.H. till 7:00 P.H. every day. There were clothes lines stretched fro111~ tree to tree. I guess we. were the first mountain l aundramat. I made about ~10.00 per day. Sometimes my neighbor Mrs. Millsap would help and I gave her half of what I made. Pauline has good memories of Red Creek since most of - the kids were raised there. 11 They were good kids. We never had trouble with any of them. I guess being raised 1n the mountains, they would have to be good kids. We always had plenty to do, both work and fun. Every Saturday there was a dance. Someone brought a guitar and someone a violin and did we dance! But no drinking. It seems like it snowed more then, ln:J_t_ :L:t didn' t seem so hard on people then. We always had fun in the - �winter . If we needed food, we ' d hitch up a team to the sled and go to town . All those years seem so car efree . l1e never had any worries . I don 't think I ever had any worries until Vic died . We had just bought this house and lived here two months when he died." Pauline has seven children . All of them are married. Irene lives in Bay.field; Ernest in Bellingham, Washingt on; Helvin in I gnacio ; Jeanie in Farmington; Helen in Los Angelos; Della Rae in Bloor.'.l.field; and l-fary Ann in Colorado Springs . Pauline also has 30 grandchildren and l.J. greatgr andchildren . A lot of years have passed, but Pauline well remembers the ustar' 1 automobile Vic bought to bring her to Trujillo . She remembers t he frightful, narrow 1--oad over Wolf Creek Pass and h01•1 rrruch she really didn't want tq leave Salida . 11 I always missed Salida . I liked it there and didn't want to leave. And I have always mi_s sed the Italians. They were good neighbors, nice people . All of the years we ' ve spent on this side of the divide I've been hapyy, but I never felt r eally at home. I always had in the back of r:iy r:1ind a wish to go back over there, but the last few years I feel different. Ignaci o is a nice town with a lot of nice peop_le. I think I belong here . 11 Shelby Smith June 27 Senior Soci al & Clinic Welcome to our June Social DATE WHERE : WHEN HOW : (see below) June 27 , 1975 Community Center 12 :OO noon Pot Luck Allison-Arbol es - Please bring vegetables and salads Town of Ignacio - Please bring ~ain dishes Rural areas North ru1d West of I gnacio and near Ignacio Please bring desserts. Free Clinic Offered at June Social High blood pressure ~nd diabetes are t wo conditions which can cause a lot of trouble if undetected. Most of us do not go to our doctors for checkups as often as we should . Partly because we don't think of it, partly because it seems an unnecessary expense . To save you the expense of a trip to the doctor Lorraine Duran PHS Nurse and Betty Fedrizzi nurse with San Juan Bas in Health are of'fering a fr.f& clinic to all senior citizens who attend our June Social. Similar tests at the doctors office would probably cost {t10 . 00 - $15'. O0. Test 1~ Bring a urine sa~ple taken shortly before coming to the s ocial. The nurses will t est this for any tendency for diabetes. Test #2 Sometime during or after the social you will be given a blood pres·sure test. Participation in the tests is entirely voluntary~ of course; however, for peace of mind we urge you to be tested. �.. A Creed for Positive Living How to live a full and hap:;Jy life'? Louis Stevenson's: 1) Make up your mind to be happy. . . rb ~ Here's one man I s formula-Robert Learn to find pleasure in simple things. 2) Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. 3) Don't take yourself too seriously. Don 1 t think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others. 4) You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. 5) Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself. 6) Do the things that you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. 7 ) Don't borrow trouble . Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones. ' 8) Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities, grudges. Avoid Deople who nake you unhap~y. 9J Have ~any interests. If you can't travel, read about new places. 10) Don't hold post- ~ortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things. 11) Do what you can for those less fortunate that yourself. 12) Keep busy at something. A very busy person never had time to be unhappy. 0 Energy savers Check -::he seals around vour refrigerator and oven doors.

Shortly after he was born the family moved to La Boca onto his grandfather I s farm. 11 My grandfather mostly taised sheep and goats. That 1 s where I learned sheep ranching." John got some sense knocked into him at an early age . "I found myself knocked to . r the ground more than once. You have to watch out for the Billy-goats ···, "and rams. 11 When John's grandfather, Tom Talyon, wasn't happy ·with the price offered for his sheep locally, he went looking for a better market . "I learned a lot from my grandfather. He wasn•t af:raid to go out and do things. If the prlce .was too low here, he would load his sheep on the train and go to Denver. I went with him a few times and learned a lot .about how to do business." •When John was a boy, most farmers raised some oates and wheat. 11 The Salabar ' s had a· thrashing machine and would move it from place to place, whichever was ripe first . All the neighbors helped one another until every one was finished. Mr. Barnes had a grist mill poweree by a water wheel where we could grind our grain for cattle and chicken feed. 11 Some of this grain was sold for cash, but a lot was kept for feeding on •the farm. . · In 19i 8 Suzie Wj.lliams d:i.ed in the great flu epideru:lc. Jobn was enrolled in the Indian Boarding School north of Ignacio . After 3 year s he was transferred to the Indian School at Santa Fe where he stayad till 1928 . That year he was called home for sheepherding, but in 1929 John resumed school i;:). Albuquerque for two ·~10:re years. Most boys don't care for school very ~uch, but John didn 't mind it. He says, 11 There was a time to study, a time to learn a trade and a time for games. 11 Speaking of games, John, like most Tribal members was a very good athlete. He participated in baseball, football, track, wrestling, and boxing. · From 1930 -1949, John worked at a variety of jobs - building the hospital(which is now the Tribal Building), operating the powerhouse at the Indian School and farming. During this period John married and had three children . When he and his wife were separated, John move to Durango to do construction work and then was offered a job at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. (Dugway was a center for uranium and chemical testing.) Most of his work there involved plumbing and construction. From there he got a job painting section houses for the railroad in Nevada. 11 I didn't expect to see anyone I knew in Red House , Nevada, but Manuel Baca and Julian Romero were there laying track for the railroad. On a trip to Salt Lake City~ John was offered a construction job at Ft. Duschene on the Northern Ute Reservation . (Local Tribal members call them Yankee Utes.) In the evenings a bunch of the young men at Ft. Duschene liked to play baseball. John was right in the middle of it. Since the Ft. Duschene Boarding School was close by the playing field, the dorm kids often came to watch. That 's where John met 16 year old Wanda Accuttoroop . A short time later they were married and came to Ignacio fo~ their honeymoon . Wenda says, "When John and I were married, he was real skinny, but I fattened him up. I think he likes ham and beans better than a..11ything . One year he was the Santa Claus for the Tribe and he fit the suit just right." { �..1 3, I John and Wanda have 1 O children: Roderick and Ronald( t'\'lins), Stanley, John Chadd, Elizabeth 5 Michael, Mary .Ann & Eric(twins) and ··) Michelle & Susan( twins). Wanda says, 11 I 15.ke my children, but when the last ones were born, I decided that was it.tr For three years Wanda has been a waitress at the Pino Nuche Restaurant and enjoys it. "I like to meet people, both new people and old friends. 11 In 1956 John Williams became a milestone in Indian Health. He ' .r was the first tribal member in the country qualified and hired as ~ .. · ., Sanitarian. From 1962 -1972 John was a member of the Tribal Council. During several of those years he served as Chairman. Presently, he is Resources Coordinator for the Tribe. John has lived long enough to remember ma.ny ·of the old ways and to see many things change. 11 I r emember seeing the old :people dry deer mea.t and dry and pound chokecherries into cakes. We used to be afraid to get wild honey, but then ·we lear ned to put on ploves and wear a net ove~ our ·heads. Years ago there were so many fish in the stream in the Vega that we c ould drive them into gunny sacks. Then we'd boil them and dry them for winter." Though John has many good memories of long ago, he does not live in the past. ·when asked :for his age John said, 11 I' m 35. I feel like I 1 m 35 and :people treat me like I 1.m 35. That's why I keep worlt:ing. I'm not going to fold up at 65'. I I ve got a job and a farm · to take care of.

There were no street lights - no sewer system - no watel' suitable to drink piped into any of the homes from a town water system. A few homes did have drinking water with the water coming from a spring above Dr. Lefforge 's home. Drinking water was pumped from the various town wells - one was located on Bro'\<ming at the W. L. Wiseman corner, one in the I gnacio Motors garage on~.near the Silva station (later Bennie's Gas). The town pump was almost as. good a meeting place as the postoffic e on Sunday aftel"noon . Ignacio did have a Sunday train eastbound out of Dul"ango and out of Alamosa westbound as well as daily train serviceo There were hardly any telephones . There was electricity to be s ure, but from a somewhat erra.tir: power system at Bayfield, privately owned. Fortunately no one 01,med a deep f'reeze . Many rural families drove to tollm with horses and wagons and the roads being what thoy were it was prol)ably a good thing. F....itching posts lined the alley to the west of the main street. Ordinances prnhibiting livestock in t own had not as yet been dra"t-m up and me.ny .families kept cows, horses, chickens or pigs in their· yards . Hain street was no exception and the lot between the Economy Store and Phill ips was fenced -wi. th a high board fence for a barnyard wl th cows, pigs and chicken s . Few homes had bathrooms and the Commercial Hotel and the Ignacio school building didn't either. · There was quite a bit of bootlegging a.s liquor was not supposed to . be sold on the reservation. But there were dances ·and parties, bridge games, school entertainment, plays, and most of the residents had good times indeed. !-"".il'. and Mrs .

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 . .

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 .

J.s the old DG.:RG•! station was transformed into the Parish Hall 1 t underwent another paint job. It was also used as a Day Care Center, the American Legion Hall etc. Reflecting the earnest e.nd outspoken nature of the people of Ignacio the . ·arishioners were asked for a resident priest. Over early opposition their voices began to be heard in various dioce·a san meetings tl.xoDghout Southwestern Colorado. In 1975, a missionary priest f:r-om the Order of the Divine 1r}ora }~issionaries offered his serYices to Bishop Bu sell to serve the comrm.mt ty for thl"ee yea.rs.

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.
