RACE THAT eouALEp GREEKS.

In writing OF his investigation OF the
wonderful ruins IN Yucatan. Ellsworth
Huntington says in Harper's Maya
zine for April that there is every evil
dence that there wss once a city there
with as large a population as the en-
tire country now possesses and that
these people were the equals of the
ancient Greeks.
Various authorities have ascribed
20 the ruins an age of from 1000 to1i,-
goo years. These figures are based on
data derived from calendar stones pre-
served in many places both in Yucca
tan and in neighboring regions such
as Mexico and Guatemala. The stones
canhe described with considerable ac-
curacy. and exact dates can be as
signed TO the construction OF many
buildings. The only trouble Is that the
dates belong 10 the various local eras
of the different countries. and nc one
knows when a single one of the eras
began. This Ignorance affords an am
pie field for speculation. There are,
however, strong reasons for believing
that the ruins date back a long time
before the coming Of the Spaniards
Two Of the strongest OF these reasons
are that when the Spaniards came to
Yucatan. early in the sixteenth cen
tury the Mayas, in the first place,

HOW 1T STRUCK THE INDIAN.

| An official long in the service of the
Office OF Indian Affairs at Washington
tells of a pow-wow that once occurred
between agents of the Department of
the Interior and the Red men on a
reservation in Idaho. The meeting
had been arranged by the government
with The view of inducing the Indians
20 remove another reservation, since
the government wanted the land that
the red men held for some purpose or
other
The NEGOTIATIONS were delicate and
called fer the exercise OF the greatest
tact and diplomacy Accordingly, one
Of the best Of the Interior Department
officials was ordered 10 undertake the
task of making the appeal To the In
dams The chief thing was to "get
around" a certain stipulation in
treaty with the Indians whereby the
government had agreed never to re-
move them from their present reser-
walton.
The ascent addressed the chiefs in
these words: 'rhe Great Father at
Washington has heard with deep
grief OF your grievances. He said to
himself, 4 win send my red children

elbow replied as follows
Good friend look at me. The winds

with this the pow-wow ended.

THE ORIGIN OF DIXIE"


The Wall Street journal IN review
ing the London Times history Of the
Citizens Bank Of Louisiana at New
Orleans. The bank that after eighty
years cf honorable history was con-
yerted into the Citizens Bank & Trust
Company In 1911, gives an interesting
account Of the origin Of the y5rd

UTAH AND IDAHO SAFE
WITH GOOD CROPS SURE.

! AS long as crop conditions remain
good in this state and Idaho there can
no serious disaster come to these
states from bad financial conditions
in the east, and the residents of the
Bee Hive and the Gem state need not
fear the outcome Of the present finan-
cial quietude. This is the opinion Of
l.. l.. Evans, pioneer Of American
Falls, formerly a cattleman of this
state and now one Of the most active
promoters of the Snake River country,
who with Mrs. Evans, is at the Hotel
Utah for a few days.
"Our dry lands and our irrigated
lands in these two states are so sure
that regardless of what may come
to the big cities of the east, we are
practically safe from any serious in
jury" said Mr.. e yans today. when
we depend on our agriculture for so
much of our activity and so much Of
our income, we can not be materially
injured by a stagnant business period.
Thus far the spring gives hope that
)ur crops in Idaho, both on the dry
md the irrigated lands, will be as big

BEAUTIFUL RELIGIOUS CUSTOM.

Just west Of the little city of Riv-
crside IN southern California are two
small rocky mountains, Rubidoux and
Little RubidOux. A fine. broad road
leads TO the summit of the larger
RubidOnx, another leads downward;
several paths wind up the steep sides.
From the top you can get an ex-
tended view of the surrounding
country; there are high mountains to
the north, low brown hills far away in
the other direction, with fertile val
leys lying between. Riverside may
be seen in detail on clear days. 1t is
marked off by pepper -bordered
streets. and set in the midst of orange
groves; these IN turn shade off into
fields Of barley and alfalfa.
beautiful custom prevails in
Riverside Every Easter morning
thousands Of people gather on the top
Of Rubidoux at sunrise, to sing praises
TO the risen King. On the very sum-
NIT Of the mountain a great wooden
cross stands between the huge boul-
ders. and the solemnity and impress
iveness OF the occasion is heightened
by the mysterious light of dawn. and
by the vastness OF the open sky. And
then the sun floods the scene with ra
dance. and the songs swell with a
still louder note of joy and triumph
The services grow in popularity and
beauty each year; notable persons are
often present, and many are attracted
who are not ordinarily interested in

sides. Those who worship on Rubi-
