fully adapted to the rough stone roads
of the country"
Two absolutely unique characters
tics of the ancient people who built
these ruins thousands Of years ago,
and Of whom they and the pyramids
on which many of them are built are
the only trace, were noted by Mr..
Hornbostel. The first Is that the
towns were built without walls or
fortifications of any kind. there were
no roads and the houses were far
apart. making them indeed garden
cities, and there were no beasts Of
burden. 'This vanished race was a
peaceful people," said Mr.. Hornbostel.
land such architecture Of a primitive
race is absolutely unique in history.
They had no fear of an invading army
and no preparation to repulse one.
They had no means of moving either
an army or supplies" The second pc
culiarity noted by the travellers is the
original form of architecture In the
construction of the buildings. which
are made OF small stones, cut and
dressed, with an original cantilever
construction of arches. This struc-
ture, Mr.. Hornbostel claims, he has
not found anywhere else in all his
study Of architecture, ancient, medic
val and modern.

say;
eve are not suffering any big

the shipments for the spring
market will be about an average.
Cattle are not as plentiful as they
were last year and the feeding is
lighter this winter. Good cattle
at the present time are scarce and
will be scarce for the next three
months as about all the long fed
cattle have been shipped We had
fair crop this year and the
quality was right good. Wheat
made an average yield and the
quality was excellent. There was
quite a large average or whea'
