ANCIENT INDIAN
 TIMEPIECE IS UNEARTHED

SPOKANE, May 21-While exca- vating on the old Indian battle ground at Kamiah, Idaho, worllmen unearthed a rudely carved, oblong stone said to have served as an In dian timepiece before the whites in froduced clocks or watches to this part of the country. The ancient timepiece Is now in the offices of a Spokane engineering company. Kip Kip-Pelican, the oldest Indian on the Ncz Perce reservation, explains that the stone was used by the tribesmen for marking time before even the white traders had penetrated to this section. He said it was between POO and 300 years old. Two miles dis tant from the place that held the stone, worilmen unearthed an old irving pan, horseshoe magnet. a homemade knife blade eight inches long, and number of crudely fash toned pieces of metal. These had been buried for years, rust having al

PRESCOTT BOY
 WINS CLASSIC EVENT
(Fron Fridays Daily.)

In connection with the unexpect- ed news that Yale won the dual track meet on the Yale field against Harvard, by a score of 56-4S, comes another attest to the sterling quality of Arizona climate for the making of world-beating athletes.
 Herndon J. Norris, son of Attor- ney Tom Norris, made a whirlwind finish ill the mile run, passing two Harvard runners and winning this classic event in 426, score which clips four-fifths of second off the record Of Grant of Harvard in 1898 and equals that of Alcott of Yale in 1904, the best yet made in inter varsity mile running in America.
 The Chamber of Commerce is compiling a list of the achievements, both physical and intellectual, of the sons and daughters of the Mile High City, which will be large and i'm pressive and Is to be used in con- nection with all correspondence go- ing outside the county.

CAMP ]. CREATING MUCH
 INTEREST
Colonel Brodie to Have Charge of Unique
 Experiment.
From Thursdays Daily)

Judging from inquiries from edu- cational institutions throughout the west that are coming to Colonel Alexander O. Brodie, Adjutant of the Western Department, relative to the Army School of Instruction for students 17 years old and overt duly listed in schools and colleges, that will be held at the Presidio of Mon terey from July lst to August 9th, the attendance at the camp will be excellent this year, although this will be the first camp to be held and the War Department made public the plans for it rather late in the school season says the San Francisco Chronicle There are but two of these camps to be held in the Unit ed States. one at Gettysburg and the other at Monterey, in California. If they prove successful, and the atten- dance is good they will become an annual feature.
 From the standpoint of giving young men an intimate idea of Army life, combined, with a healthful, cheap out-of-door vacation under in fuences and instruction that cannot but prove of the utmost value, the plan of the. students camp is believ- ed by army men to be the finest idea so far suggested toward creating closer touch between the civil and military life. The class of young men who would attend the camps would be that from which officers of volunteer forces later probably would be selected in time of war
 The Government will furnish all necessary tenting, blankets and other camp outfits, including instructors in personal hygiene, military science and similar subjects. About four hours each day would be devoted to instruction, the remaining time tn be at the disposal of the student The students would, of course, be under strict military discipline during the entire period of the enactment
 Each student will be obliged to furnish himself with khaki suit that will cost not more than $.50 pay his own transportation to and from camp and pay $l75 per week for food. There will be no other cost of any kind. The young men who attend are supposed to be re- commended by the proper authorities of the schools they are attending.

Tomorrow at Culebra.

To-morrow's big explosion at Gamboa vii! mark
the taking of the last step toward the completion
Of the Panama Canal Already the canal has been
flooded from the Pacific Ocean to Mirahores AMI
thence up to Pedro Miguel, at that end of the
Culebra cut. 1t has also been flooded from the
Caribbean to Gatun and the lake is in process OF
formation from Gatun TO Gamboa, at the northern
end Of the Culebra cut. Tomorrow the great cut
itself will be flooded and the canal will be a water
way from Balboa to Colon
1t will probably always be a disputed question
whether the Culebra cut the Gatun Dam has
been the real of the canal enterprise In earlier
years the former was so regarded, but lately the
latter has had the distinction What seems certain
is that both those stupendous undertakings have
been successfully accomplished at about the same
time Last week the Gatun Dam and locks re-
celved double test of the most practical kind, and
tomorrow the cut will receive the inflow which Is
to make 1t strait between the two seas
The rainy season is now prevailing in those re-
gions, and the 1920 square miles of tributary
watershed should provide water for the speedy fill
ing of the canal to a navigable depth There seems
no good reason why the beginning of December
should not see the canal navigable from ocean to
