BURIED IN JUNGLE
Tropic Growth Overwhelmed, City
of Angker Thorn.
Devastation Wrought, Especially by
tho Deadly Fig Tree, is So
Complete as to Be Almost
Unbelievable.

In the heart Of Cambodia, one of the
five provinces of French Indo- China.
lie the ruins Of the royal city Of Ang-
kor Thorn. built somewhere between
the fifth and seventh centuries, and of
the marvellous temple, Angkor Wat.
The architecture, which is Hindu, is
being discntangled from jungle growths
by French psychologists. The city and
temple are thought to have been built
by the Khmers, n long-vanisbed race
which certainly has no connection with
the Cambodians Of the present day.

jungle on an elephant In order to visit
one Of the more remote ruins.

and cracks, then grow and develop

by the fierce heat and fierce rains Of
the tropics until they overthrow and
destroy everything in their pathway.
One fearful root that wandered in it's
course through whole corridor Of
mighty carvings was 90 meters in
length, with the circumference Of an
elephant. And the tree is useless, too
just spongy. porous wood, unfit for
anything.
'FOr an hour we wandered through
dim, ruined chambers, scrambled md
climbed over fallen pillars and carv-
ings OF great beauty and delicate, in
trlcatc deslgn-nll in utter ruin and

elephants again and to leave behind
that overwhelmed and evil spot.

Error in Notice Of Heating Rate
Request, But Terms Are Not
Modified in Least

City Attorney Robert L. Watson
has received word from the Illinois
state utilities commission that the
notice regarding heating rates
which was sent here several days
ago was erroneous. In place of the
request for a continuance of last
years rate, the Illinois Northern
Utility has petitioned for permis-
sion to increase its heating rates
rs per cent over last years charge.
The increase which Is requested
by the company amounts to ap-
proximately 100 per cent over the
original contract rate. 1t is said
that several business men of the
city who have been subscribers OF
the heating plant are planning to
install private heating systems in
an effort to get out of paying the
increase.
Officials of the company declare
that losses have been sustained in
previous years while charging low
er rates for heating. With the in
creases in the price of coal. the
company officials declare that the
advanced rate which is being re-
quested is not exorbitant, but is
the lowest rate they can charge
and maintain the plant.
