RIVERSIDE, Oct. 24-(Regular Cor
respondepce.) Another heavy rain
visited this section last night. Rain be-
gan. falling at $3.50 and continued up to
midnight. The precipitation amounted
to go of an irIch. The raisin men, whose
fruit was still on the drying trays, were
warned by the weather bureau to expect
rain, so were prepared for it by having
their fruit stacked up. This rain, which
makes the total for the season about
two inches, has put the ground in good
shape for blowing, and it will cause
great activity among the ranchers of
the county.

ny Shipping Culls to England They Are ne.
ducinE Their Apple Trade.

OTTAWA. Nov. 25.-It is generally admitted
that Canadian packers practically had the
British apple market In their own hands at the
beginning of the season, but lost 1t through tho
deliberate shipping Of inferior and badly packed
stock. Culls were shipped in large quantities.
care being taken to put good apples both at
the top and bottom Of the barrels. This old
trick 10 still as much practiced in Canada as
ever, and all orchard packed apples are likely to
be so put up. Tho British ma0ket for Cana
dian apples has gone to smash several times
during the season. owing to the Large quantity Of
culls dumped upon 1t by men who care nothing
for the credit OF the business. Honorable ship
pers are thus made to suffer on account Of
these discreditable practices, for English
dealers who are once loaded up with unstable
fruit of Canadian origin will not buy again un.
til confidence is restored. 1t is we'll known that
ately shipped culls to the British market this
season, hoping to take advantage of the good
prices which obtained there from time to time.
Such operations have brought the bushes s into
disrepute. and incline the British public to tho
belief that knavery Is rampant on this side of
the Atlantic. 1t is not likely that the English
market will be in n satisfactory state until
shipping for the Christmas market, which will
probably cause a glut. Canadian orchard
packed apples are now pretty well cleaned out,
and from this time forward practically only
storehouse stock will be shipped. Apples are
exceedingly scarce in tho Dominion, and
Gamers have great difficulty in obtaining sup
plies, as such large quantities in proportion to
Evaporated apples. it is reported. will be very
scarce.

Il BAT1LE hit 1000 YEARS AGO
Prof. walters Finds Evidence or 1t In . Prehis-
torio Buying Ground I'm Indian Territory.

torfc BuT ytnE Ground In Indian Territory.
WICHITA, Kan. Nov. 2s.-Twenty thousand
years ago. according to the announce
ment of Prof. Walters. tho archeolo-
Eist. a terrible battle was fought on the
Arkansas River in the Indian Territory
between the mound builders and the Mayas,, in
which over 5000 warriors bit the dust. He
has reached this remarkable conclusion on ac-
count OF his Investigations of a prehistoric bury
ing ground in the Choctaw Indian country,
which he has found to cover thirty acres and to
contain fully rs, 900 skeletons.
His attention was first called to the remark.
able number of human skeletons to be found
there several months ago, when the Kansas
City. Pittsburg and Gulf Railway was built
through the Choctaw country.
Tho workmen. in grading, brought TO light
tons of human bones and a remarkable num-
Der of implements of savage warfare. and
Prof. Walters set about TO investigate the
matter scientifically. To his amazement he
found a large tract literally underlaid with
these relics OF q forgotten race. The skulls were
pierced with darts or arrows heads. one speci-
points. This proved that they died in battle,
The skeletons were found buried in sand, and
above the sand werC two distinct strata formed
in geological periods. These facts enabled Prof.
Walters to compute approximately the period
when the battle occurred.
He has completed the facts. just learned with
the result Of seventeen years previous study OF
the mound builders, and formed the theory that
the battle was one of a long series of sRnguinnry
encounters between that mysterious race and
the Mayas. which latter race came from Central
and South America and sought to gain posses
s1on OF North America.
