of July" said DR.. Baum, having ex-
amined the cliff ruins thereof the Pue-
bio ruins. and the ruins of the Mesa
Verde. l went then into New Mexico,
visiting Aztec and passing through
Chaco Canon to the south. The next
move was into Arizona, where we turn
ed north TO the Canon De Chiefly. and
from there to the modern and ancient
Pueblo ruins on the Moqui Reservation.
After journeying west and up the west
ern part of Arizona l made a detour
back to Mancos, from which point
entered Southern Utah, examining the
ruins and geological formations as far
as Salt Lake City. Then turned back
to Taos, in New Mexico, and later Wis
tied the Cavate ruins near Espanola.
1.-The expedition probably covered
more ground than any other single one
of the kind the object being to get
view of the whole field and draw broad
conclusions from this wide survey. l
do not suppose that l covered ten miles
any day that l did not see evidences
of prehistoric civilization. The South
west must have had a population Of
several million. for I myself saw
enough dwellings to accommodate D.
0G0. 900.
lone thing is firmly settled in my
mind, namely, that all this civilization
dates back prior to the great lava over
flow of the Southwest. There are num-
erous evidences of lava covering old ir-
rigation bitches and old ruins of New
Mexico.
II am also firmly convinced that the
cliff dwellers and the mesa and valley
jewellers were the same people. the pot
terry, stone implements. and the skulls
of all being identical in character. The
celebrated white house pueblo, in the
Canon de Chiefly, is Immediately under
cliff dwelling, and they must have
been connected.
The cliff dwellings could never have
been built for refuge and defense, for
| they could never Withstand siege, and
the inhabitants had to come out to get
water. 1t would have been possible
| for an enemy to defeat them by roll
ing stones down the sides of the cliffs.
The only house with port holes that
discovered was in Bear Canon, trib-
| utary to the Canon de Chiefly.
II cannot escape the conclusion that
| this prehistoric race was destroyed by
a seismic disturbance similar to that
at Martinique, and the race was wiped
out at least 1000 years ago. l do not
believe there is an Indian in America
that can claim descent from those peo-
pies"
| The great investigator spent some
| time among the Cavate ruins, near rs
pamela. 1t is commonly supposed that
Cavate dwellings are mong the Oldest
! type of house in existence, but he eX-
presses the opinion that those people
| in New Mexico We're contemporane-
Gus with the cliff jewellers. He also
suggests that the climatic conditions of
the Southwest were different at the
| time of this prehistoric civilization.
The results of this trip of DIR. Baum
are these: He will return next sum-
mer with a larger expedition; he will
ask Congress to establish an archae-
illogical survey for the Southwest, and
he will ask that the Mesa Verde in
Colorado, the Chaco Canon in New
Mexico, and the Canon de Chiefly, in
Arizona, be set aside as government
reservations

Tampa Times: Two people were Bit
ten by poisonous snakes yesterday Ia
Tampa, and but for medical attention,
both would probably have proved ia

severely bitten by rattlesnake. The
snake had been given to him and he
put it in a satchel. He went to take
1t out to show to some one, and not
seeing it, put his hand in to feel for
II The snake Immediately struck at
him and fastened his fangs In the fore
arm, just above the wrist. Bell was
not much alarmed, and. walking calm
~ into Weedons drug store asked for
little something to put on snake
bite, nothing much, anything will do"
lie was taken to DR.. Weldon and his
wound dressed, so he is all right, but if
ne had not been speedily attended to
ne would probably have died as the re-
suit of the bite. Estelle, the 13-year-
OLD son of E. II. Kratz, was bitten by
moccasin yesterday while playing in
'front.' of his fathers residence in Hyde
Fark. S. ]. Sigh, who lives across the
street, heard his cries and took the
boy across. to his house and dressed
ms wound, so that no dangerous re-
suits are apprehended. 1t was only
prompt attention in both cases which
saved the lives of the bitten people.

no HAVE A DIsPENsARY.

1t is now thought that Fort Valley,
after having been dry" for twenty
years, will soon have a dispensary.
There is a strong sentiment among our
best and most prosperous citizens fav-
oring it, while at the same time equal
~ as good and well-to-do citizens are
violently opposed to any changes along
this line. The dispensary advocates
claim, however, that there will he no
trouble in getting double the necessary
signatures to a petition addressed to
our representatives requesting them to
introduce a dispensary bill, and as
neither of the representatives are ccm-
mitted one way or the other they will
be free to respond to the appeal of
their constituents.

MILLIONS OF CLIFF JEWELLERS.

So Believes ArchaeoIogist Henry
Mason Baum After Observations.
From the Denver Post.
From all that / have seen of the
prehistoric ruins Of Southern Colorado.
New Mexico, and Arizona / am COM
PEELED to believe that they are the
relics of a civilization that numbered
many millions of human beings; that
this civilization cannot be dated closer
to our own time than 1000 years, and
that the various classes of people in
dicated by the different forms of dwell
ings were contemporaneous and re-
lated
This is the scientific opinion of DR..
Henry Mason Raum, the eminent arch
aeologist, who has just returned from
the most extensive surveys of the pre-
historic Southwest ever undertaken by
investigators. While the tour was
made in less than three months, its
Importance consists in it's having been
systematic and with the purpose Of
laying the foundation for the most de-
tailed and perfect research the doctor
intends to pursue next summer and
during the succeeding seasons. He has
mapped out In such a way the ground
over which he has travelled that his
notes will make it easier in the future
for scientists to cover the territory. He
is very enthusiastic over his investi-
cations. as illustrated by the following
remark:
-''f consider the Canon De Chiefly. in
Central Arizona, the most interesting
historic spot in the world"
DR.. Baum arrived Saturday night,
and consented to give out the first de-
tailed interview upon his recent trip.
Since he left Denver, in July, he says,
he has Travelled more than 700 miles on
horseback, to say nothing of his jour-
neys by rail. He was accompanied on

DAMAGING RAINS.

The extraordinary fall of rain which
has lasted continuously for the past
ten days. has materially interfered
with the preparations being made for
truck growing in Orange county this
coming season. Seedbeds are suffering
and young plants to some extent be-
ing drowned out. 1t is quite early in
the season yet, and the hope still re-
mains that the rains may cease in time
for making crops.

Butler Herald: Messrs. Rogers &
Hinton of Box Springs have purchased
700 acres of timber lying in the south
east portion of the county, between
Butler and Garden Valley and are now
putting in two large saw mills a few
miles south of the railroad. Their ship
ping point will be half a mile east Of
r. G. Tomlin's residence. This will
turn another fine portion of the piney
woods into lumber. There is yet a
large quantity of timber in the coun-
try and if properly used would place
in the hands of the owners thousands
of dollars cash money. The demands
for lumber from the city mills is very
great, but at the present rate we think
a few wants can be supplied

TO HARNESS WATER POWER.

The feasibility of Harvesting the
splendid water power of Kinchafoonee
and Muckalee creeks. near Albany, is
now being seriously considered by a
number of local and foreign capitalists.
An expert hydraulic engineer is now
here looking into the matter, and it is
more than probable that his report will
favor the undertaking. These have
been many efforts in the past to de-
velop the splendid power afforded by
the two creeks mentioned, but for vari-
Gus reasons the undertaking has from
time to time been abandoned. How
ever, now that outside capital has ex-
pressed a determination to utilize the
power to run various manufacturing
enterprises, it is more than probable
that the venture will be pushed to
successful termination.

Jolted out and striking the floor, fired.
Richard Bowles was standing a little
distance from the crowd. and the bull
let struck him in the right thigh, in
fiicting painful, though not serious,
wound. Medical attention was at once
summoned and the bullet probed for
but was not found UP to a late hour

Mart Smith with a rifle as the latter
was said to have been entering Ca

imposed upon him time and again. He
says he warned Smith not to come
nearer him with his knife, and that he
shot him in self defense. Coroner Dor

BALTIMuRE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 1.-There were traces
of feverishness in the stock market to-
day ard constant variations in the course
of prices all day, but the tone became
uuieter as he day progressed and affairs
of the market showed tendency TO SET
tie down to a normal condition after
the excitement of the previous two days.
The rush on the part OF the longs on
stocks to take profits in the opening deaf
ings this morning was entirely natural,
considering the buoyant uprush of prices
at the closing last night and considering
also the denials of the officials amongs,
the coal operators that there was any
basis for yesterdays rumors of settle
ment These rumors continued to play
part in the market and the principal
strength of the day was shown by the
ccal stocks, the buying of Reading ap-
parently coming from inside sources. The
same powerful interest was credited with
the support of other stocks, notably Uni
ted States Steel and Southern Railway
and the sentimental effect of this buying
was a potent factor in raIlying the mar
kct from its opening depression The
only actual news hat became public be-
fore the close of the market concerning
President Roosevelt for a meeting with
him of the representatives of the mine
operators and the miners. The sympa-
thetic effect of the buying of Reading
Southern Railway and United States Steel
was manif est among the Coalers gen,
| orally, both anthracite and bituminous
and among several of the independent
steel companies. But the buying was
not pursued to a notably higher leveI
and there were constant reactions
| throughout the day. In the final houi
| the money rate ran up to its highest
| point of the day and induced considerable
selling. making the closing easy and mod
erately active. Outside the stocks which
Inade show of strength during the day
! final prices were at or near the lowest
| in many cases. Louisville lost an eX-
! trcmc three points and closed within :
poirt of that and st. Paul's loss amount,
to two points, The effect was manifest
