RACE OF GIANTS
ON PACIFIC SLOPE
Skeleton Remains of Ancient
Inhabitants Found in
Santa Clara

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. IL
digging in mounds about two miles
south of here, has led to the discov-
cry of several skeletons of men, all
of which measured over 6 feet. The
Investigations have been carried on
for some time by Professor Harold
Heath of the zoology department, and
these discoveries, in connection with
others, seem to corroborate the fact
that the entire peninsula, as far north
as San Francisco, was once inhabited
by a race of giants.
Interesting instruments and Orna-
ments found in the ruins indicate that
the people attained a proficient de-
gree in craftsmanship. Bone needles and
avis, mortars and hammers, some OF
which were polished to a high degree,
have been found, and the best speci-
mems placed on exhibit in the Stan
ford museum, together with a skele-
ton in an excellent state of preserya-
ton
While the inhabitants were large
and strong, they apparently were not
of a warlike nature, and seem to
have been very lazy. Their principal
means of livelihood was hunting and
fishing. In buryiug, they inferred
their dead very near the surface, and
covered the bodies with refuse.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Exanina Grain Letter.

.H -. -
Chicago. Ill. April 11.--Wheat: The
market opened about steady and adj
vanced sharply. with the greater
strength shown in the deferred flu
lures, May wheat being again on sale
supposedly by the leading long inter-
est Prices eased around noon being
influenced by the weakness in the
northwestern market, particularly
Minneapolis. The continuance of SEN
sationaI reports of damage from the
winter wheat country, both east and
west Of the river, were the basis OF
today's further advance in prices
those from the eastern country show
ing q great unanimity of opinion ana
pleading such damage on a very large
percentage of the growing crop. Re
ports from Kansas called attention TO
the fact that the ground being dry and
cracked, although the plant Is not
suffering from lack of root moisture
at. present. Illinois and Indiana reports
were particularly doleful, and clalmeo
q complete failure in many sections.
The broadness Of the market, with the
barge increase of outside interest, Is
khe best possible evidence of the re-
stability of the discouraging reports re-
garding the growing crop and we feel
that there is much truth in these re-
ports and that the market is destined
toward a much higher level Of values.

s~roomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, April 11.-Wheat: The
market opened with free covering and
prices % to q higher with the prin-
cipal strength in the distant months.
This advance was due entirely to the
strength in America which was I'M
expected. The Buenos Ayres market
was strong at the close but the
strength was explained by the strong
American markets and plate offers
were freer on the advance and later
was offered lower. There was gen.
orally an advance in cargo offers on
passage by holders but this advance
checked business and with the larger
shipments expected this week from
Argentine, as estimated by private
houses, and the disposition to realize
in May and the strength shown in
distant months, caused profit taking
and prices declined a to Bd from
the opening. At 1880 p. m. the mar
ket was easier and u to 70 higher
than yesterday. Corn opened u to
81 higher and further advanced II
to u with the undertone strong. The
strength in America caused free COW
ering by shorts.

Crashed Into Freiaht Cars.

Grafton Record: The SOUTH bound
express train on the Great Northern
narrowly escaped a serious wreck at
st. Thomas Monday evening when 1t
ran into an open switch and crashed
into two box cars that were being
loaded with wheat on the siding.
The accident occurred Just as the
train was pulling into the city and
was due to the switch being left
open which .ufned the train onto
the siding instead of keeping the
main track. A. Leisson and e.. j.
Strupp. mail clerks, saw the danger
and jumped. Both were slightly
injured. Fireman Muehler and one
OF the brakemen also Jumped, but
Engineer Morgan Curran remained
at his post, Through a quick ap-
plication OF the brakes he lessened
the trains speed and the accident
was not as bad as it might have
been.
The train was backed onto the
main track and proceeded on its
journey with only a loss Of about
fifteen minutes. None of the s
gers were injured but many were
badly frightened
