It mijjlit be a desire to connect with the past. It might be that old stuff makes for such great conversation. Like I said, I don't know. Most likely it i because old stuff seems to speak to me. I love to gaze into old things and listen to the stories they have to tell. This is yet another of those things that I mull about, that drive me crazy when I should just accept and erjoy the way things are. More than 35 years ago I was poking around a homestead. I came upon the old, cellar. I crawled down through the mostly caved-idirt and timbers of the collapsed doorway, mindful of creepy-crawlthings, of spiders and snakes. I inhaled the cool, dusty, musty smells, and let my eyes adjust to the gloom. I got a little thrill of discovery when I saw two crockery jugs, half buried in the dirt that had washed in through the collapsing roof. As I wiggled them fm of their grave I saw another jug partly burled under a warped shelf. Wow! Three old jugs! Their monetary value is small, hardly worth the trouble and exjmnse of being out poking around. But, I still have them and they are worth a lot to me. In that same cellar, resting on a warped shelf, I found a ladys boot. It must have been quite stylish back in the teens or twenties. Unlike the jugs, I lost track of the boot over the years. As a matter of fact, I waa thinking about it just a couple of weeks ago, wondering what ever happened to it. A few days ago I was poking around an old house we lived in long ago. The house is now filled with storage and the junk and treasures of many years accumulation. As I slowly walked through the old house I thought I saw the boot stuck bark in a recess in the adobe wall. I climbed over some boxes and reached through the cobwebs to pull It out of it resting place. No question, it was the same boot. Th brown leather ia amazingly supple.

The boot is about 12 inches tall from the bottom of the heel to the top. It has a brown ahoelace and 21 eyelets for the lace. Again, this old "treasure is of little worth. But, I found it and, along with the jugs, resurrected it from a dusty grave. The boot tells me a tender story about a girl, of dreams and loneliness and hard work. It whispers a tale about dancing. All that remains now is for me to pick the Bpider skins out of it, clean it up and display it with the rest of my old stuff. Some years ago I was with my dad out in ons of his sheds. At the time I needed an axe. I saw a double-bitteaxe with a badly weathered gray split and checked handle. I asked if I could have It. I figured on knocking the old handle out, putting a new one in, touching up the blades and using it. But, as I began to study the old axe, it began to tell me stories. The split handle was wrapped with rusted haling wire down by the head. Hie edges, though rusted, were keen. There were no nicks in the blades, nor were the forward comers blunted from having been driven Into the dirt. This axe had been well used and well cared for. It now rests on our living room wall. Not long ago I found a companion for the old axe. I was poking around in yet another dusty shed, less than a quarter-mil- e from where I found the axe. Inside, hanging on a wall, all ingrown with nests and spider webs, was a two-ma- n crosscut saw. The blade is just over six feet long. Both handles are original though worn. I went back to the house and talked to mother about it. It now hangs on my wsll, its handles bracketing the axe. Who knows? Maybe the axe and the saw were well acquainted when they were young. They may have worked together. If I listen closely, I bet theyll tell me stories of men and wood, of muscle and sweat and of work well done. Maybe the men went to dance where there was a girl in brown boot.... d mud-daub- High Country News Writers on hie Range Hopis and hipsters have something in common Pie West to see lamas, r t SAxTi.HiteTAflijemrittm ttm n, ttie cam1 n Asjxxi, n rxrxis, u'Ttrxims ard rvai yaks roarrxng Pm range BP al T'it'xs9 Jay Yoaig A mosa.

Waas by Jean Kirsten Johnson The steamy aroma of blue com meal dumplings travels with "me today even though 20 years have passed since white-haireJoyce Taleyesva taught me to make the Hopi dish. A narrow back porch joined our pueblo-etyl- e apartments in the Second Mesa vilof Shipaulovi, where I lived back in the early lage d 1980s. Whenever I wasn't teaching school in this long-live- d Arizona settlement, we ran back and forth carrying piea and pots of Hopi stew. Meals, chopping wood, hauling water and long winter evenings were ours for the sharing. I remember living on the mesa the food, the friendship and the gossip. fondly Yes, gossip, which reflected the considerable interest cloee-knpueblo dwellers take in each others doings. We didn't watch television much up on the mesa. Rather, we watched our neighbors, and they watched us. If I'm not mistaken, pueblo life is coming to mainstream America, though since there are no tribes with centuries of tradition behind them, the gossip might be more free form. Termed "sustainable communities," these pockets of high --density housing are gaining attention throughout the West. Considering that the goal is nothing hiss than revohitionizingrtan entrenched model of development suburban sprawl that has held sway throughout the last affluent the shift seem radical. In Portland, Ore., for example, where I live now, one of the first streetcar lines to return to an urban area in 50 years opened last summer to national attention. The line links Portlands urban center featuring a university, art museum and theaters to the citys Pearl and River districts, where developers are building loft bousing in former warehouses and blighted industrial lota. For these residents, the streetcar has become a cool way to travel. Galleries, restaurant and yoga atudios have already started weaving themselves into Portland's new communities. Maybe it's just my nostalgic bent, but H sound like pueblo life to me. While the lofts might not look out at bread ovens or Hopi cornfields, the residences cluster around centers that promise cultural and commercial vibrancy it half-centur- Between the streetcar, which exceeds 2,500 passengers daily, and new options thst are gaining popularity through the West, many commuters have weaned themselves from dependence on fuel private vehicles. And like the Hopis of il days who made treks to springs and cornfields on foot, a sizable number of bicyclists and walker dot the scene with activity. Some foundation! in California have picked up on this new brand of radicalism. Unlike the free spirits of the late 60s, though, today's Tipsters" as the Hewlett, Irvine, and Packard foundations have been dubbed have a distinctly pragmatic bent. They also have a pot of money that commands the attention of state policy makers. Hipster fomdatum are funneling minions of did-lakrto the exploration of whats become known ae smart growth." Joel Hirsdihorn of the National Govemnnf Association calls the idea of returning growth berk to dty cores one ofthe itrongost soda! and political movements in the country ever." Hie Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation thinks the idea has merit as well and recently awarded National PuHic Radio 1 100,000 to report or, topics related to suburban prwL Whether Westerners accustomed to wide-ope- n spaces will accept the idea of living closer together remains unclear Only 1 percent of the housing market's growth thus far is in urban high rises or mass-trans- it villages. Still, according to a Packard Foundation staffer, the country has hundreds of sustainable community project in development, with Salt Lake City and Tucson joining Portland in leading the way. As for me, since leaving Indian country. Tv lived out of town, though the idea of coming together pueblo-styl- e is compelling. Not only do the new urban mnccas promise an antidote to the angst of bring in contemporary society, they also hire by virtue of Iheir frugal use of natural resources. HI probably look into this new mode of urban existence, and while Td be surprised to find anyone simmering blue dumplings, theres hound to be some great gossip to share.
