MYSTERIOUS auNep CRY.
Honduras Government Has stopped the
Work of Excavation.

-
Work of Excavation.
All work on the ruins of the great
prehistoric city OF C,3pan. in Honduras.
has been suspended by order of the
Honduran government Extensive eA-
cavations have been made at Copan oy
agents of the Peabody Exploration
Fund, and great palaces and temples,
giant stairways and broad plazas have
been unearthed. Enough was uncover
ed to show that Copan was the capital
of great empire which has entirely
vanished. leaving no history, not even
traditional history. behind it when
man as yet can read.
The government of Honduras gave
no valid reason for stopping the ex-
cavations, and the custodians of the
Peabody Exploration Fund hope TO be
able to get permission to resume work
next year, as the prohibition seems 70
be only the result of a temporary freak
on the part of the native officials.
Meantime wall has been built around
part of the excayated city and watch
men. living in huts amid the ruined
palaces of forgotten kings. keep away
natives who might deface and destroy
the elaborate stone carvings and
sculptures.
The history of Copan and its mighty
warriors, wise statesmen and splendid
kings is all written on numerous col
umns of stone and on the walls of the
palaces and temples, but no man as
yet can read the inscriptions. Archaeo-
Iogists of the Peabody Museum have
however. mastered the calendar OF the
vanished people. and, with this as
starting point, are gradually making
progress toward the acquisition Of a
knowledge OF the language of the mys-
terious people of the forgotten empire.
If the work on the ruins Of Conan
can be resumed next year 1t is expect
ed that many finds win be made
which will DE of the greatest import
asce to American archaeology.

associations was amended on motion of
Mr.. Anderson, to include in accounts
payable all items due to stockholders.
Work progressed on the Roberts
amendments, relating to statements from
corporations. Mr.. Jacobson objected to
the item providing for statement Of the
cost of renewals of plans or road bed.
He said 1t was a loop hole by which
street railways would get an offset and
escape a just assessment Mr.. Roberts
said it was in the direction Of getting
at just assessment The Minneapolis
street railway company had spent $780,
900 on cable system which was torn
out without using it, and it ought not to
pay taxes on bonds issued for that pur-
pose. The object Of the franchise tax was
to squeeze some of the water out of the
stock, not to Cypress the corporations.
Mr.. Peterson opposed the amendment,
and said his colleague from Hennepin
was talking through his hat.
Mr. Larson said it was beginning to
appear who were the enemies of the
bill. = q
Mr.. Rich made little talk on fran
chises He said the value Of franchise
depended on its life. s.
The amendment was lost.
The house then began to play, horse
with the Roberts amendments. One was
voted down. Mr.. Roberts explained that
it's effect was identical with that of an
other amendment already passed and
moved reconsideration of the vote by
which it had carried. The house in it's
most jocund vein voted him down again,
and Mr.. Nyquist came to the rescue with
motion to adjourn.

Two Ways tt
hake Money.

One way to make money is to work for
it. It is honorable and praiseworthy, no
doubt, but 1t Is so slow that no man can
get enough In lifetime to count for
much. The other way is to invest in a
money-making enterprise and let your
money breed more. Nothing breeds so
fast as money we'll invested.
There are two ways to make money IN
the stock of the Union Oil, Gas and Re-
filming Co. One of them is On the divi-
bends, which are guaranteed to be IL per
cent per annum-$12 in one year on every
500 you invest. That Is just four times
as much as you get on your deposit in the
savings bank-a pretty good proposition
in itself, but you get something better
still in buying this stock now.
Let us explain. The price to-day is 10
cents share (par value 81 full paid and
-assessable). In few days or a
few weeks at the farthest. the ice will
be advanced. 1t may be to 15 G is. per-
haps to 20 cents a share. That means
that you or any one else buying will have
to pay the new price for shares that will
have the same earning power as those
you now get for 10 cents; consequently
your stock bought at 10 cents will be
worth Is or 20 cents, and you can sell fo1
that.
Don't you see that you really make
OF 10 cents on every share you hold before
the rise? That's the second way yor
can make money on this stock.
There are people in Minneapolis who
have bought the stock of the Union Oil
Gas and Refining Co. and earned last
year 40 per cent on their Investment. Yor
are guaranteed II per cent. The dividend
for last month was IN per cent.
Doesn't that look good enough at an!
rate to spend one cent for postal care
for request for printed matter, banl
references, etc? We will send them free
