CYCLERS FOR The ROAD.
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATED
CYCLING CLUBS SPEAK.
Their representative Body In
dorses the Yosemite Road Pc
tition promptly.

When the Record Union" suggested
the idea of appealing to the Federal
Government to construct a good road
over the lands of the National Forest
Reserve from the Yosemite Valley to
meet the best connection with valley
roads, it felt confident that the propo-
sition would have the Endorsement OF
the wheelmen of the State.
Our expectation has not been without
reason. For who is there who rides a
bicycle well, who does not realize the
necessity for good wagon highways
And who is there who rides a wheel but
does not look forward with hope to the
day when wheelmen can roll their We
hicles into the Yosemite Valley over a
good grade, crowned by a firm, perma-
nent and well-kept roadway?
Perhaps wheelmen are. from their in
innate association with bad road con-
ditions, more earnest and intelligent
gcod-road advocates than any other
group of people They know that not
only does the good road operate eco
ncmically for the farmer, and probably
for the whole country, but they know
that it adds immensely to the comfort
Of life.
1t is not with surprise, therefore, that
the Record Union" learns that the
proposition it has been instrumental in
promoting has the hearty Endorsement
OF the legislative and governing body Of
the wheel organizations of California,
known as the California Associated Cy-
cling Clubs. At the meeting of the
association held at Oakland Saturday
evening the Yosemite Federal road APP
peal was thus intelligently and warmly
indorsed:
Delegate Charles Albert Adams pre-
sented the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we view with pleas
ure the effort being made to induce the
Congress of the United States to con-
struct a good, easy, swift wagon road
over the property of the United States
in the forest reserve to and into the
Yosemite Valley that shall be free OF
passage by all the people, and that we
give such effort our Endorsement, be-
lieving it to be directly in line with the
good roads sentiment, that it is wise fol-
cyclists to encourage"

PAINFULLY INJURED.
An Old Lady's Fall Yesterday.
Caused by a Drunken Man.

Mrs. Slusher, who resides at Blacks
Station, Yolo County, but who is at
present visiting the family of Fred A.
Ochsner at 7211a K street, met with
serious accident at Third and L streets
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Slusher, who is IS years of age,
was crossing L street at that point,
and had reached that portion of the
walk which crosses the gutter when a
drunken man staggered toward her. To
avoid a collision with the gfn-soaked
individual, the old lady stepped from
the walk and fell heavily to the cob
bles in the gutter, about two feet be-
low.
One Of Mrs. Slusher's knees was bad
~ bruised and sprained, and a convey
ance was procured in which she was
taken to the home of Mr.. Ochsner.

ANCIENT MOUNDS IN ENGLAND.
Relics Found in Them-Undisturb-
ed for Centuries.

Scientific men are deeply interested in
archaeological discoveries just made
concerning the ancient Britons Thir-
teen graves opened at a little place
called Danesdale. near Drif1ield in
East Yorkshire, revealed relics that
showed that the burials took place at
least thousand years before the ad-
vent Of William the Conqueror to Brit
ish soil. For so long that the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary,
the mounds or graves just opened have
been supposed to be the last resting
places of ancient Danes, They were
called the Danes graves" Indeed,
the town of Danesdale referred to
gained its name from that superstition.
The graves or mounds are 173 in num-
Der, but only thirteen have thus far
been opened. They are surrounded by
forests, and upon some of the mounds
huge trees are growing.
Archaeologists have long believed
that investigation of the ancient
mounds would lead to important dis
coveries. It was this sentiment which
led the East Riding Antiquarian Society,
through Canon Greenwich Of Durham to
institute the inquiry which resulted in
opening the mounds. Deep down in
the first mound opened was found not
only the bones of an ancient Briton,
but the iron tire of his chariot, the
iron bit and trappings of his horse,
and a bronze pin, beautiful in design,
and enameled. The shape of the grave
and the curious curled-up position of
the skeleton left no doubt as to the
age to which all belonged and disposed
to the satisfaction of every one of
the Danish theory which had SO long
prevailed.
Perhaps the most notable of the rel
les. GO far as establishing the antiquity
thereof is concerned, was the bronze
pin. IT is a specimen of the earliest
known British enameling, and is of
type most peculiar to the iron period
1t has a peculiar twist in the Shank
which makes it's origin an absolute Ger
tainty. 1t is one of the curious facts
found in British history that pins such
as the one described only existed dur
ing a certain period. Distinct changes
in articles Of this sort were made at a
certain point in the development or
Britain. This fact is known absolute
~, and therefore this pin settles beyond
question the point as to the time be-
fore which it must have been made.
Two other graves We're opened at
Areas and Beverly in which chariots
We're found, and in the one at Arras
the tires and naves Of the wheels were
complete she tires are of iron and
the naves OF bronze. There We're also
found in these graves an iron mirror
with bronze mountings. the end OF a
shank of a bronze whip and two or
three rings through which the reins
Of the chariot must have been carried
The bones found at Beverly had gone
to decay, but at Arras The human re-
mains and the bones Of the horses APP
psared as fresh as if they had been
buried a hundred years ago.
The graves referred to as being open
ed We're not close together. For in
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-09-06

stance, the places of discovery, Danes
dale and Arras, are twelve miles apart.
The theory advanced by the archaeolo-
gists who have taken the matter up is
that the district throughout which the
mounds are found was formerly the
burying place of the ancient Britons,
probably years before the Danes at.
tempted the conquest of the island.
The relics discovered indicate that
they once We're part of and the prop
erty of leaders among the aboriginal
inhabitants of Britain.
Thele has been dispute for a very
long time between archaeologists as to
the occupation of the territory in which
the mounds were found by the Danes
and by the early Britons. One faction
of disputants held that the mounds, be-
ing accepted as graves of ancient
Danes, were conclusive evidence that
the Danes We're in possession of the
country centuries before some persons
claimed to believe. The second faction
held that the Danes had never held
possession of the country, but that II
was for centuries located in the CEN
ter Of the stronghold of the BritonS OF
early days.
IIbG FORMATION u the tires diiQ liz
naves of the chariots found also indi-
Gated hitherto unknown communica-
ton between the Romans and the early
Britons. The tires and the naveS are
almost exactly similar to those now in
the British Museum at London, which
are known to have been in use in Rome
about the same period in which the
original chariots to which the British
tires and naves were attached sped
over the soil of the island. 1t estab-
fishes a new fact in history in refer
ence to the relations and power OF
Rome, and while it settles one dispute,
makes seemingly incorrect a number OF
assertions regarding the period in
which the burials in the British graves
took place.
1t is very likely that several more
of these mounds will be opened for the
purpose of ascertaining whether they
are the resting places of Britons of
certain century, or whether, as many
believe, the mounds are located in what
was the burial ground of the leaders
of the early Britons for many centu-
ries. Should the latter prove true, it
is more than likely that discoveries will
be made which will entirely change the
history of Britain as far as it relates
to that period which led up to the Con-
est.-Philadelphia Times.
