Startling Data From Ar

San Francisco, April I3.-The earliest
American civilization, antedating the gen
erally-accepted limits of pre-Columbian
cultures, has been discovered by Professor
uhle, director of anthropological excava-
tions and explorations of the University of
California in that country, where before
Incas tradition has led scientists to be-
lieve that Peruvian civilization extended
back only few centuries before the COM
ing of the Spaniards, archaeological work
of DR.. Uhle has established the fact that
a great civilization fourished 1000 years
earlier, at the least estimate, and that a
cultured race of higher development than
the Incas was in existence before the Tro-
jan war.
This remarkable discovery follows as a
result OF study made in the two expedi-
tions which DIR. Uhle led in the past few
years at the expense of Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst and under the auspices OF the Uni

Mr.. Gould said: II have never seen
wheat look so we'll as it does today. Ii is
a bit too early to speak of corn or cot
ton; but as the soil is thoroughly water
soaked, these crops ought to thrive
amazingly. The railroads won't have any
trouble in moving the great wheat crop,
but | think we will be short OF cars in
the fall If there is a big corn crop.
"The physical condition of the Western
roads was never better than it is now.
Il have heard no talk OF shortage while
was in the West. The banks were hold
ing their own balances in their vaults,
and they won't have to draw on New
York for money to move crops. From
what | saw | believe that this practice
of drawing on New York, as it is called,
will be an uncommon occurrence in the
future. The Western banks have their
own money to lend to their own people,
unless money should get so high in Wall
street as to make it profitable to send it
East. From all indications | can see, a
full year of prosperity ahead for the
