For moment everybody thought the

of that nature occurred, and Judge Rel

where they would be as much out of

it showed a disposition to use its
power with moderation. There was
nothing sensational about the mar

tendency of prices. however, was re-
strained, and there were sufficient
points of positive strength in the
market 10 serve as adequate sustain

ANOTHER THEORY OF
DEATH VALLEYS PAST
Scientist Believe Famous sink
at One Time Was Full of
Civilization.

Charles Glastonbury. +. K. s..
former Psychologist at Cambridge,
England, and now engaged in arch
aelogical and theological studies. has
just completed a Two months visit TO
Death Valley, and he gives it as his
advised opinion that the country
surrounding Death Valley was the
seat of an ancient civilization. lie
has not had time to pass upon the
data collected, but he inclines 10 the
belief that Death Valley was inhabit-
ed by a race well advanced in the arts
of civilization in times dating far
back into the prehistoric era.
Professor Glastonbury says:
Geological evidence points TO the
conclusion that The great sink now
known as Death Valley was once an
estuary of the Pacific. and the
climatic conditions of the region in
those times must have been practical
y perfect. You men of the United
States talk of your perfect climate of
Southern California. but in those
ancient days. this land-locked body
of water. il is reasonable 10 suppose
produced an ideal climatic condition.
Moreover. ii is reasonable 10 suppose
further that the surrounding country
WAS capable Of supporting an i'm
mense population. for in those days
II certainly possessed great fertility.
When such conditions prevail, il
is difficult to estimate, but il must
have been many thousand years be-
fore. the days of recorded history.
The civilization of Death Valley ante
dates the Mound Builders of the
Mississippi valley and the Aztees of
Mexico and Central America by
many thousands of years. There are
several facts, however. on which my
conclusions are based. The most
noticeable is an ancient dam which
discovered south OF Wingate Pass.
For what purpose this dam was
constructed il is difficult 10 imagine.
II could hardly have been for ir-
rigation purposes. as the sea that
covered Death Valley and the streams
which flowed into il furnished
sufficient water for agricultural pur
poses. Strange 10 say. there is no
remains of machinery. or works of
any kind which would lead TO con-
clusion a. TO the original intention of
the dam.
In other parts of the valley
found hieroglyphic inscriptions on
the rocks, very closely resembling
the inscriptions found in the Valley of
the Nile ! am led 10 the belief that
the ancient inhabitants of Death

well known as some others.
The bishop was once visiting a
small town in Pennsylvania. One
Sunday morning after church was

and began talking TO a class of'small

put numerous questions TO them of a
biblical character. and finally he ask

greater stability for investment or de-
