LOOK OUT FOR HIM.
One Clarence W. Clark Tells Portland Bicy-
ciists Rather Doubtful Stories.

PORTLAND, April 25 "A man came here
several days ago and went to bicycle store
to borrow blcy Gle, representing himself to
be Clarence W. Clark, a professional bicy-
clist, who had come here to arrange races.
He said he came here to race with John
Prince, the famous bicyclist.
He said he had FIVE l9-pound racing
bicycles coming by freight. 1t soon be-
came evident that he was romancing. No
John Prince came, and he went to another
bicycle store kept by Mr.. Haggett. He
proposed that he and Haggett ride to Boston
together on wheels to be furnished By Hag-
gett. He told Haggett that John Prince
was in the city but i'll.
He said he was one of five professional
bicyclers from England, Charles ASKING
ton, William Martin, Lamb and Prince be-
ing the other four. He said he holds the
24-hour and 4S-hour worlds record. the dis
tances being $50 and 5l2 miles respectively.
Also that he holds the 20, 80 and so miles
worlds record. He said he was here to
race at Rigby Park with the fastest horses
that would come there this season.
1t has been as scertained that he is an i'm
poster and bicycle men ought to be warned
against him. The men whom he mentions
some are not in this country and others not
in his vicinity. No swindling has been at
tt tmpted by Clark SO far. 1t is supposed
he has by this time left the city.

MUMMlEs IN THE SAN JUAN VALLEY.
They We're Found With Many Interesting
Relics in Mcuntain Caves.

SALT LAKE CRY, April 25 An exhibit
of mummies, alleged to have been recently
found in caves between the Elk and Bule
mountains at the head of Comb Wash,
empties into the San Juan river, 10 IN les
below Bluff City. Utsh, was opened in a
room in the Walker house this week. There
are six, all very well preserved, one of a
giant, one of a chief, two Of women AMI
two of boys.
At first it was thought that they were the
bodies of cliff dwellers. but as they were
found under the ruins of cliff dwellers'
habitations, its believed that they belonged
to some race that antedated the cliff dwell
lers. Another point of difference is in the
features of these mummiied specimens.
They have reddish hair instead of black,
and have not the f1Atness of the head noted
in the genuine cliff dweller. The skull
look much like that Of a Caucasian.
The bodies, SO it is stated by Charles D..
Lang, who came out with the Hyde explor-
ing party, were cramped into constrained
position, covered with very curious mat
ting or blanket of ool and feathers. then
enwrapped with cedar bark The bodies
were found in various positions. With
them were the remains of hundreds of wild
turkeys, while by the side of one was found
a well preserved specimen of a mouse.
Many curious relics were also found with
these bodies. There were some black ashes
in wooden receptacle, some red corn in
an earthen vessel, rude buckskin pouches,
the tanning of which was different from
that of the present day particularly fine
carved onyx pipe, flint arrow heads deftly
shaped, broken pottery and many other in
teresting articles, the use for which is not
known.
So well preserved are the specimens of
some extinct race that it can easily be told
that one of the boys met with violent
DEATH the moustacbe is still plainly seen
upon the face of the chief and the course
of vein can be traced in the arm of one
of the women.

THE lNTERvALE FLOODED.
Mountain Snow and Rain Sends a Raging Tor
rent Down the Valley.

PORTLAND, April PA Portland man
who has just returned from North STRAIT
ford, N. H., the scene of the late accident
where the bridge gave way and let the
Grand Trunk right into the river. say 8
that the whole country there is flooded by
the Connecticut river, 20 that the intervale
is big pond, railroad fences are covered,
and even tracks in places.
The clay embankment had spread out
Sunday, and let Maine Central train down
through into four fee. of water. Another
engine went down to Iull it out, and the
hank spread and let that in. Between
Groveton and Lancaster, the Concord &
Montreal tracks were so washed out and
flooded that train service was stopped.
Therefore all day Sunday and part of Mon
day, North Stratford was shut off from its
three railroad connections.
Between the scene of the accident on the
turbulent Nulhe gan river and North STRAIT
ford, Monday morning, a hagman was
stationed to stop all trains, for the embank-
ment was fast yielding to the rushing
waters.
BY Monday afternoon the Maine Central
engines had been pulled out and a train
made up. The slump in the embankment
was filled up, but when the train passed
over it shook like jelly. Father on the
water was several inches over the rails and
the train crept along carefully, wheels
splashing water. Out on the flooded inter-
walls, II man in a boat was seen tow ing
barn that had broken from its moorings.
The flood is filled with debris and great
dtmsge had been done along the river.
People say it is the worst frt shet for l8
years and attrlt ute it to the large amount
Of snow in the mountains and the recent
rains.

WHERE SINGLE TAX HURTS.

The Kern County Californian comments
wisely upon The CALLS statement that
il 100000 persons recently engaged in manu-
featuring should turn their attention to
agriculture their crops would have TO go
to an already overstocked market. But
the Californian imagines conditions under
which It would be otherwise. 1t says:
The CALL overlooks the fact that we import
every year tens of millions OF dollars worth Of
agricultural products which might just as well
be raised at home. For example. there Is no
reason in the world except the action OF
Democratic Congress) why we could not produce
every pound of sugar that we consume, and the
same is true OF a variety of other articles.
The exception named is of considerable
importance. The Democratic Congress
has put sugar on the free list. The tens
of millions of dollars worth of agricultural
products which we might raise but do i'm
port are OF such a nature that certain
foreign nations can supply our market
with them at lower rates than Americans
can. Duties on such products would he a
violation of the single-tsx principle. The
men therefore who would be driven TO
farms by the closing of our factories would
be compelled TO raise wheat, corn. meat
and other things that we can produce more
cheaply than other nations. Our SOUTH
ern friend will admit that under single
tax system we cannot have duties on for
eign products.

SAVINGS OF THE PEOPLE,

A New York paper has suddenly con-
ceived an extraordinary solicitude for the
people. Having contributed materially to
a policy which prevents the people from
having any savings it now insists that the
Government shall incur a large bonded
debt mainly that the people may have
safe Investment for their savings. 1t will
be admitted that under free trade il may
for a time be easier for the Government to
borrow money than to collect it in the
usual way. but this is side issue. The
main thing is that savings that have been
drawing from to per cent interest
shall in the future be taken care of by the
Government at 3 per cent. There is a
large amount Of accumulated savings to
draw upon. Last year 4,781, sos people
had in the savings banks of the Union the
sum of SLIP, 796, ,026. If the reader will
stop to think this is good deal of money.
1t is enough to carry on the Federal Gov
ernment three years and half. That it
will be safe and the interest paid regularly
if loaned TO the United States will be ad-
mitted, but as it is safe now and as the
interest is paid regularly what is to be
gained by taking per cent in place of ) /?
The Chicago platform was not a perfect
political structure, but there is no plank in
it declaring it TO be the duty of the Gov
ernment to run into de bit for current ex-
pendtures.
