Meaning Is Even Lost From Traditions of Indians. Probably no other relics of early Indian occupation of the United States are so shrouded in mystery as the medicine wheels of the Big Horn mountains in‘ Wyoming. These, covered in the ear'y part of the present century, have since been an ¢ much di fen and con- as to their origin and anti- In the American Anthropologist of March, 190 S. Simms of the Field Columbian Museum gives an account of the wheels found on the summit of Medicine Mountain of the Big Horn Range at an elevation of over 12,000 feet. Mr. Simms was conducted to the spot by “Silver Tip” a prospector and. hunter, who had lMved with the Indians when a boy The ascent was slow and dif- ficult as there was no good trali and heavy snow drifts were encountered. The ummit of the mountain is bread at the west and tapering to narrow limits on the east where the Medicine Wheel {s located. This is decribed, by Simms as consist. ing of an immense whee! bullt upon the ground with slabs and boulders of limestone, cfr ference of the Wheel asures 245 feet. In the center which corresponds to the hub of a @ wheel is a circular structure built of stone about three feet high and from this radiates twentyseven I! of stone, forming the spokes. The outer cir cle or rim is at seven aff- ferent places, marked | by stone structures, erected on the rim, ex- cept the one on the south which is bul!t several feet beyond but con. nected to the whole by an elongated ‘spoke.” The eastern rim structure @iffers from the others in construc- tion, and is nearly square, and un- like the others is higher, while the opening faces out instead of in. On the projecting slabs of this struc- ture rests a perfectly bleached Buf- falo skull which had been so placed that it looks into the rising sun. Within the central structure which resembles a truncated cone, there is a slightly circular depression in the ground. While the existence of the Medicine Wheel is of course known to the Crow Indians, and was un- doubtedly erected, elther by their forbears, or an earlier tribe, none know of its origin, excepting that it was made by “people that had no iron.” veral years ago a trip to the Medicine Wheel was made by Doctor Long of Sheridan, Wyoming, going up through the main canyon, of the Little Big Horn. He says in writing of thy trip, that the history and orig- in the Medicine Whee! is yelled in obscurity, ‘The Indians of today fratikly acknowledge their ignorance of either its history or meaning. One Crow chief said, “It was built before the light came,” meaning it was prehistoric, while another claimed it was a shrine for the wor- ship of the sun. Doctor Long is of the opinion that it is in some way.related,to the.wor- ship of the Astecs, or aigpeople akin to this Mexican tribe, who at some far past time inhabited this moun- tain region, Others thing that its origin dates back to a much earlier period, or as the Indian says, “To the time when people had no fron.” The Astecs carried certain arts and manufacturers to a high degree of perfection. They were especial'y skilled in making pottery and every- where they lived in New Mexico ana Arizona, left pottery and other spe- cimens of their handiwork, among their ruined structures, but at the Medicine Wheel, nothing of this sort is to be found, leaving its origin still open to speculation and conjecture, Oregon Sets The Pace With ‘Dry’ Schools aches, liver trouble, nervousness constipation, ziness, _sjeepless- ness, bladder disorders often come from sluggish kidneys.

The school was started last and achieved very good results The method then used was to have one class night a week for a period of three months, It was decided to improve this system by concentrat ing the work in a two week period, holding a class each night of the week except Sunday. In this way the Interest will be kept up and the work can be expedited.
