OLD STUFF

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec., g. That race corrrespondingto the cliff dwellers of Arizonia or the Axtecs of Mexico, though not so highly civilized as the latter once lived in the region along the Columbia river is the opin- ion of George H. Hines, assistant sec- retary of the Oregon Historical soc- iety, who recently returned from the scene of excavations at Big Eddy, Ore. where skeletons and implements of various kinds were unearthed by state road construction crew.
 Copper utensils which were uncov- cred along with stone implements and stone image of the sun correspond to other relics dug up at other points, according to MT. Hines, though some of the objects uncovered in the latest find were of finer worlm anship than any in the possession of the historical society.
 MT. Hines expressed the opinion that these articles had been left by a race of people preceding of the white men.
 F B. Hall, who lives at Big Eddy, uncovered what can nearest be de- scribed in modern terms as vase. It is made of stone and is slightly larger than teaeup, with handles projecting about four inches on each side. It is made of solid stone and is decorated with symetrical design formed by hapital "V" standing erect with capital "V" inverted, the two letters Joined.
 John Powell found what was appar- ently an idol worshipped by the tribe, g stone image of the sun. The center of the disc is depressed forming the sun, while from it to the edge of the circle are wavering lines such as used by modern artists to indicate light waves.
 On the cliffs back of Big Eddy many, hieroglyphics suggestive of those found in ancient Egypt are to be seen. These are all painted in red, yellow and black colors. In all these the sun predominates, images of it ap- bearing in virtually all designs. At one place high on the cliffs crude figures of what were evidently intended to re- present two men may be seen. At an- other place an excellently designed human face. with 9 hideous grin upon it is. painted uponthe rocks. The ex- treme age of these paintings is shown by the fact that many of them have been obliterated by the clements, per feet specimens being seen only with moss in many instances and some are cracked with part of the design miss ing, where the cliffs splintered years ago.
 B. Frazier, a travelling man of Port land reported that.on 8 recent hunting trip he found picture writings chisei- ed on the cliffs at Roosevelt. Wash, across the Columbia river from Ar lington, Ore.

Harding called at the White House. Left his card. Did not meet Wilson. Telegraph flashes tell us this. Wonder if Woodrow will mention the occasion in the history he is contemplating writing when he retires. When his book is completed it will probably be among the best fiction sellers. He ha lots of material for a series of books. The other day little fellow was rolling in the snow and having won derful time regardless of his clothes. That night his mother who was al- ways scolding him about getting his clothes soiled and dirty, showed hinl the picture of two little boys all dress ed up in pretty white suits. Jimmy, she said, Wouldn't you like to be nice and clean like these children here. "Huh", replied Jimmy scornfully They're not children, them's, pets"
 President Wilson has at last turne; l

trees. Next, they're dolled up-and

And then, they're priced a bit high so

Spur Cigarettes offer the highest possible
quality q the lowest possible price:
II there are any finer tobaccos from the
Orient and the good old u. S.. A. than
those selected for Spurs, they must be a
secret cha- the world has never heard.
And when We got these combined in Spur
Cigarettes, what do you suppose was the
result: Just the best taste and aroma
that any cigarette could give, and Willie
Do-l-up or Freddie Flavoring hadn't a
thing TO do with it.

L fact that there is an all-pervad-
hg glitter In the displays Of dresses

discrimination that designers use in
