HOLIDAYS AND THEIR USES.

When it first occurred to any one to
celebrate an event or commemorate
sserson, by cessation from toll and CIV
fHg up a day to idleness, amusement,
and festivity, Is not known, but 1t
must have been early in the history
gg social evolution. In the savage
state of existence men lived from
Eand to mouth, and were obliged to
hunt or fish every day to get their l1v-
ting. In a more advanced stage, when
&Sf7age of the soil became general,
when the years crops were garnered
szz1d stored, there came a time when
work could be intermitted, and 1t was
s2Uubtless then that the first holiday
was instituted 1t was natural to sig
naIize the annual ripening and gath
Naring of she fruits of the earth by
some sort of rejoicing, and 1t was nat
urai, too, that the manifestation of re-
newed life in the spring should re-
eceive similar recognition. These au-
'&umn and spring festivals may be call
SD the natural holidays. Once holidays
were started, it is not strange that
they grew in number, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. 1t is for most a world

statue is about two inches in length
and is made of equal parts of gold,
silver and copper, and is of exquisite
workmanship.
Another image recovered to which
attaches especial interest is the figure
of a man-god, the physical character
istics of which coincide with those of
the mummied bodies. 1t also bears a
marked resem blance to the Egyptians.
The curved nose, running straight
from the forehead, eyes and thick
lips, are closely like the sculptured
heads which have been recovered Of
Tahutmes III. Princess Nefert and
of early Egyptian kings in limestone
at Karaak
These images, together with the
methods of embalming, the art OBJ
jects and household and industrial
implements, it is believed, give strong
grounds for concluding that the civil
cation of the Egyptians of the historic
period and the ancient Peruvians came
from the same source, or that the
Egyptians got their civilization from
the Peruvians.

FISH ALMOST BROWNS BOY
Seventeen-Pound "cat" Pulls Jersey
Lad Out of Boat-Saved
by Friend.

Newark, N. J.-Cuthbert Everett, a
seventeen-year-old Tsitchfeld boy, had
a narrow escape from drowning while
fishing In Greenwood lake, when
seventeen-pound catfish pulled him
out of the boat into the water. Wish
ing to light cigarette. Everett made
a loop in his line and threw 1t over
his head. Scarcely had he done so
when a tug at the line pulled him
clear out of the boat. 1t was almost a
minute before the boys head appear
ed above water, over 200 feet away.
A friend who was fishing near by
reached him in time to lift him out OF
the water before he went down the
third time.

FINDS ANCIENT RACE
Archaeological Remains of I'M

Region Near Lake Titicaca ExcaVateo
and Tombs Are Discovered-Body
Of Princess Buried 5000 Years
q. c., Is Recovered.

San co.-Archaeologica re-
mains of vast Importance to the crit
ical historian and anthropologist and
which contribute valuable new evil
dence, If not an entirely new theory,
upon the origin and history Of races,
are being unearthed in Peru by treas
ure hunters and scientists, according
to Charles r. Keller, an American
mining engineer, who arrived In San
Francisco few days ago from the
land of the Incas. Mr. Keller has
just completed mining survey OF
the region south Of Lake Titicaca,
and while prospecting near Arequipa,
his Indian workmen discovered
number of small tumulii, which proved
to be the tombs of people of an an"
Gent race.
The bodies had been embalmed In
the same manner as the Egyptian
mummies, and the tombs contained,
many statues and idols Of immense
interest in historic anthropology. One
tomb contained the mummified re-
mains of a princess In an excellent
state of preservation. The body was
found In a sitting posture, with the
feet drawn up under the thigh and
the hands folded across the breast.
The body was wrapped in long cloth
of the finest linen, In which had been
woven pictorial and hieroglyphical de-
signs. The body was adorned with
a heavy gold breast plate, necklace,
wristlets and anklets, and carried un-
der each arm golden vase. One or
these vases was the deceased's cocoa
bowl, in which quantity of the pre-
pared cocoa leaves and lime still re-
NAMED.
Professor Hiram Bingham, who Is
at the head of an exploring expedi-
ton from Yale university, has made
several similar discoveries, but what
is considered more important than
the treasure recovered is the finding
of number of idols and images
which throws hitherto unknown light
upon the customs and physiological
peculiarities OF the people.
The tombs discovered near Are
quipa, according to the psychologists,
were closed at least 5000 years B. @.
They belong to pre-Inca race, either
the Chiapas, Sauaseras or the Hua.

Lasting Hatred Is No Virtue

Some brothers are happier a little
way apart, and we may at once love
all mankind and have very little use
for some few individuals. Yet he who
is proud of his hatred has mistaken
for a virtue quality that his friends
mention only by way Of apology. No
body loves good hater, and the
phrase is seldom used save by way
of excuse.

bridge across Siletz river, a half
mile below the Agency. The con-

will span the stream; the approach
on the Siletz side will be 1870 feet
long and the south approach will
be 80 feet long, the bridge will be

MILL TO RESUME OPERATIONS.

Messrs. Montgomery, Huffman
and Hobart, members of the Ore
gon Lumber & Construction Com
pany, were in the city the first of
the week looking after their pro-
perty interests here.
They are considering deal
whereby Messrs. Hoffman and Ho-
bart will lease the mill and run it
independently of the company. If
this deal materializes, and there is
a reasonable certainty that it will,
these gentlemen will move to To-
ledo with their families and person
ally supervise the running of the
mill which will be started at once.
Mr.. Hobart is an experienced mill
man having been identified with
mills on Tillamook bay for the past
several years. E. W. Huffman is
secretary of the present company
and in all probability would con.
tinue to look after that end of the
business. Under the proposed ar.
rangements Mr.. Montontgomery
will furnish the mill with logs anc
will look after that end of the bust
ness exclusively.
