THE WILLOWS COURSE.
Second Day of she June Moeiin.

Second Day of the June Meeting.
Yesterdays programme was carried out
to the letter. The first race, which began
about three o'clock, elected much inter
est, as the horses were believed to be well
matched. 1t was a contest of mile heats,
best two in three, for a purse Of $1,000
1925 to the first and SIS to the second.
There were three entries, as follows ::
Sooner, bay gelding, by Sam Mosier Red
Jacket, bay stallion, by 0. L.. Scott Mil
lionaire, bay stallion, by J. K. Handy.
Sooner was ridden by Johnny Talbot, Red
Jacket by Jas. Stinson, and Millionaire by
the pools, bringing about as much as the
others together. The betting was quite
lively. The judges were the same as the
day before. +. O. German officiated as
timer. Red Jacket, who sold for a mere
song in the pools, came in an easy winner
in two straight heats. There were some
pretty bursts of speed in both heats, but it
was evident that Red Jacket was not driven
to the top of his speed. Sooner was sec
ond in both heats, the first Of which was
made in 1854 and the last in 200. The
friends of Sooner fell heavily.
THE SECOND AcE
Was a quarter dash for a purse of $3.50
SIPS to the first horse and $25 to the Sec
ond. George Ellison named sorrel gelding
Archie; Lou Carpenter, sorrel mare, Mag
gle Burns; J. Smith, bay gelding, Dandy.
This race was unfortunate, and caused
some dissatisfaction. Maggie and Archie
made two dead heats. The pools and race
were then declared OFF, the judges alleg-
ing "skulduggery in the riding of the
mare. They acted wrong in deciding the
race off on this account. If they suspic-
toned foul play, it was their duty to place
a new rider on Maggie. The programme
for to-day is one of the best for the
season.

ANCIENT
An Interesting Discovery Of Relics
Off Pre-Azisforic Rnec-

Out in tho great valley that stretches
southwark from the foot of the Pancake
range, and entirely isolated from the hills.
there occur several curious shaped mounds,
which are not more than three hundred
feet in circumference, with an average OF
twenty-five feet. They are four in num-
Der and in close proximity to each other.
As they are situated some distance from
the Travelled road, and aside from the sin
gularity of their rising from a level plain,
present no very prominent features. thew
nave heretofore failed to attract any partic-
ular attention, until about a week ago,
when Mr.. Leslie, a gentleman Of an OBJ
serving turn of mind. examined them.
and came to the conclusion that they were
artificial in their construction. The bet
ter to demonstrate his theory, he provided
himself with tools, and camping near them
for a couple of days last week, devoted
that time to exploring thtm. The surface
soil on the mounds presented the same
general appearance as the plain, and was
covered over with a growth of sagebrush.
After sinking some four feet further prog
ress was arrested by en~countering a hard
sandstone rock, identical in its formation
with the Pancake fire rock. Another point
was tried with the same result. His third
attempt to penetrate was from the base,
and lie ran an open cut until he reached
the sandstone. Here he made an inter
esting discovery. What had been taken
for a solid formation was in reality a work
of masonry, and the stone was laid in sec
ions and courses. in blocks about three feet
square, the interstices filed with cement,
which in places had partially crumbled
out leaving spaces of half an inch in width
between. He uncovered half a dozen of
these huge stones, and succeeded in re-
moving one, but only to find an inner
course of the same character and material.
Not being prepared to penetrate further,
ne left the place. but before going, found
in the debris from the cut two articles that
prove the elevations were the work of the
mound builders. One of these is a stone
AK, cut ont of very fine, close-grained
granite, and the other a pestle Of the size
of an ordinary brick, square at one end
and the other rounded, an implement
doubtless used to grind seeds and grain.
As there are no granite rocks in the region,
a question arises as to where these We're
brought from. The mounds and relics are
undoubtedly the work of some prehistoric
race, whose existence antedates our knowl-
edge, and whose fate is enveloped in obscu-
rity. Mr.. Leslie is of the opinion that the
mounds are the tombs Of the race, and that
excavations to the center of the elevations
would prove this to be the true solution of
their construction. They are situated
about thirty miles from this point, and are
well worthy of a visit from any one who
feels a sufficient interest or curiosity to eX-
pend, the time and labor in solving the
problem. Mr.. Leslie will himself accom-
pany any party who feel like making the

New Hose Cart.

The Richmond Company have just turned
out of their workshops a handsome hose
cart, one of the most compact carriages
that we have ever seen. They have also
provided five hundred feet of new carbo-
lied hose, which was wound on the reel
yesterday. There is plenty of water in the
reservoirs, an immense pressure, and in a
trial yesterday it was demonstrated that a
powerful stream could be thrown all over
the buildings and charcoal pile. Ahydrsnt
will be placed at the northwestern corner
of the refinery, and the hose carriage kept
in the yard, ready for instant use. The
employees will organize a hose company,
and be ready to man the machine at a mo-
ment's notice. The hose cart was con-
structed by Chief Engineer Jones and the
blacksmiths at the works, and is a neat and
creditable piece Of workmanship.

is worn out with the constant care that is
her daily task. They are without means
and food, and have depended upon the
charity Of the immediate ~neighbors for a
month past. 1t is a case that calls for aid,
and the generosity Of our residents should
he taxed in their behalf. We have been
requested to call attention to the case by
those cognizant of the facts. At an early
hour this morning Mr.. Vaughn died,-ED.

From Hong Kong, China, comes news of
a terrible tornado, which visited Canton
and its suburbs on the 18th of April. The
storm levcled all the houses in its course,
making a clean sweep of everything for a
width Of about six hundred feet. The vi
olence of the wind was as great as that Of a
typhoon. Granite blocks were lifted from
their places and hurled a great distance,
and boats were carried far in shore. Nine
thousand houses are known to have been
destroyed, and the loss Of life is estimated
at from five TO ten thousand. In an eating
house, containing fifty-two employees and
about one hundred persons taking
refreshments, not one escaped. About
one thousand persons persisted on
the water. The Chinese authorities
acted with promptitude in clearing away
the ruins and burying the dead, and the
visitation, so awful in itself, has probably
not been followed by pestilence.
