Hovenweep National Monu- happenings ment, In the remote canyon country north The Annual Harvest Festivities and Auction was a decided success, both socially and financially. So many articles were donated for the auction, that at times we wondered where so many had come from, and all added to the funds collected which will go toward swell-- , ing the Building Fund. Congratulations to all who helped and we are sure everyone In the stake must have had a part in this successful event. But to Evelyn Kirk, Stake Finance Chairman, Building well a earned thanks goes from all of us. Melba Nelson, Stake Many years ago, long before the white man set foot upon Utah soil, primitive peoples of the San Juan, Pari a. Virgin and Kanab River valleys began to raise com on the alluvial fans left by the flowing streams. Thus began the prehistoric Indian culture known as the Anasazl, which is Navajo for the ancients. Little is known about the origin of the Anas-azi noon Friday at Goshen Can-iro- n, where the event is to be staged. Overnight camping, as well as participation in 15 events is on the agenda. Prizes will be given for excellence and participation. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coffey were in Payson Thursday evening calling on the Henry Jeppson family. Funeral services for Mr. Jeppson were held Friday afternoon. Miss Mary Ellen Frrguiion and Miss Marjorie Randle, students at Westminster College In Salt Lake, are spending the Thanksgiving weekend holiday here with their parents, Bert Ferguson and Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Randle. where Exactly they came from remains the people. mary President was released last Thursday, with a vote of thanks after serving in this the-ne- Utah-Golora- w subject of controversy to this day. - Some archaeologists believe these primitive people were descendents of Old World hunters who crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia to inhabit North America. Others believe they are descendents of eartifcr nomadic races that came from South America. Whatever their origin, the Anasazl populations rose to prominence about 1200 A.D. and then mysteriously disappeared from the Utah scene, leaving lasting marks on the landscape . . . marks which have become popular tourist attractions in modem times. The Beehive State's rich Indian lore, including ancient ruins, museums and artifacts, and pictographs and petro-glypare being featured in this week's See Utah promotion to encourage Utahns to become better acquainted with the prehistoric era of the state. The best and most extensive Indian ruins in Utah are centered in the southern part of the state, the focal point of the late Pueblo periods of the ice-bou- nd hs widespread along the Colorado River and its tributaries, although many of these are in remote, isolated areas reached only by the ardent hiker or river runner. Archaeologists and anthropologists from the University of Utah, working on a contract with the government, are currently excavating Indian ruins in the Lake Powell area to learn as much as they can about the primitive people who lived there. These studies will be completed before water backs up behind Glen Canyon Dam to cover the sites. Another important site excavated by the University of Utah and other colleges was the Coombs Ranch site near the town of Boulder, Garfield County. Here archaeologists uncovered one of the largest, open-ai- r, ancient Pueblo vilin Utah. lages Indian writings, called petro-glypand pictographs, are also in Utah. Just about every area of the state has its share of these ancient hieroglyphics. Petroglyphs were chipped, pecked or scratched on rock surfaces, while pictographs were painted on with red, white and even green or blue pigments, though the latter two are rare. Most of the Indian writings feature mysterious looking human figures, animals and strange undeciphered hs symbols. ad .
