Christ OF I.atter-day Saints" just
AS the parent body is one of the
youngest OF the country, and wonder
full as has been the growth of this pa
rent body, equally wonderful has been
the growth OF the Douglas Ward.
The original organization came as
branch OF the Bisbee Ward on May
"a, 1906, and was formed with n mem
borship OF twelve. Its growth and pro.
gress was Immediate and the first cry
Ing need was for n place of worship
and meeting, aud a movement to OBJ
tain one was speedily set on foot on
September l6 Of that year the first
contribution to the building fund was
made and contributions continued to
pour in. A site was purchased and
work on the edifcc started while the
balance of the necessary funds We're
obtained. OF this amount some $500
was contributed by the business men
and citizens OF Douglas and the bal
anco was raised within the Church.
THE church edifce is substantially
built OF brick aud has an inside meas
urement OF 23S4O feet, giving ample
accommodation FOR It's rapidly grow

that convincing proofs have not yet
been found, And the question Is wheth-
er a similar investigation of finds OF
human remains in other parts OF The
world would not lead to similar con-
illusions. II cannot be denied that there
has been "A very marked tendency to ex-
aggerate the antiquity of the human
race. But one point is conceded by all.
Manis the most modern manifestation Of
life on earth. II will. no doubt, be
found true that man and woman, as
the rulers Of this terrestrial creation, tho
masters Of tho beasts of the field and
the forces of nature, first appeared on
this continent. Some eminent arch@-
ologists have taken this view. They
have proved that civilization first
fiourished here and spread from Amer
lea to Asia. Europe and Africa thou
sands Of years ago. The proofs they
give seem convincing beyond a doubt
The fourteen American finds exam
ined by DR.. Hrdlicka are: The New
Orleans bones discovered In 1874 the
Quebec skeleton of about the same
time; the Natchez pelvic bone I'M
'aarthed in 1916: the Lake Monroe,
Florida. bones, 1852 or 1853; the Soda
Creek, Colorado, skeleton, 1860; the

Florida skull ana bones. 1S7l-SS; the
Trenton femur. 1893; the Lansing. Kan
sas. skeleton, 1902 and the Nebraska
'loess man"
The last mentioned Is the most inter- |
esting find. The "loess man" was un-
earthed with other skeletons from |
mounds by II. f. Glider Prof. E. II. |
Barbour of the University of Nebraska,
and others, last year The most sig
nificant bones lay deep down In the
mounds, below others above them. But
for all that the evidence of their al
legged extremely high antiquity is not
as conclusive. 1t is pointed
cut that:
"Burrowlng animals might well have
carried bones through their tunnels TO
ieeper levels; there are marks Of gnaw-
ng on some OF them; they are just like
zones at higher levels, as far as dis
oloratlon, consistency, and markings

cratched by some sort of knife. and
