Phoenix Built on Ruins.

By far the most interesting remains
of the lost people of Arizona are their
network Of canals which prevail
through all the valleys. The longest
Is the one tapping the Gila river, and
which supplied with water the ancient
city, now marked with the one stand
ing building. This is the Casa Grande,
about which so much has been written,
and which has excited much interest
among achaeOlOgists in the last ten
years.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense,
for it supported millions of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand, but it's course is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Mericopa canal made use of the y
old Aztec ditch, and today water runs
over it's pebbly bottom just as it did
two thousand or three thousand years
ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravages of time Phoenix was
built on the ruins of this ancient city, |
and the relics frequently are found Of
this ancient civilization. - Detroit

FEAR GHOST OF BIG WOODS
Reported Appearance Of "stlek 81.
wash" Causes Indians to Abandon
Hunting Grounds PrecipitateTy.

The "Stick Siwash" has returned to
haunt the trapping grounds north Of
Fort st. James. Terror stalks the will
derness trails and panic grips the In
dams. If a brave hears the crackle
OF a twig in the woods he looks about
him in fear that this ghost Of the big
woods is dogging his steps. A num-
Der Of Indians, it is said, have been
frightened off their trap lines.
Fort st. James is one of the oldest
posts in British Columbia owned by
the HudsOn's Bay company. 1t was
founded in 1906 by Simon Fraser, the
pioneer explorer for whom the Fraser
river was named. Several hundred
Indians live about the fort and market
their furs there.
"Me ketchum fox. in trap" said
Musk-a-nO-wah, who has abandoned his
Trap line on Manson creek. 'Me hear
little noise. Look up. See Stick ST.
wash. He heap big Indian. Got war
paint on. He look mean. He say
nothing. Wave tOmahawk like he say,
You get OUT Me heap scared. Shake
like leaf. Me run back to camp. Tell
squaw and papOose. Pack up and
get out heap quick, by golly, you bet.
Stick Siwash bad medicine"
Other Indians have brought back
the same story from, the Manson creek
region. The "Stick Siwash" has long
figured in the traditions of British
Columbia tribes. The name means
ghost of the big woods. "Stick" is
slang for forest and "Siwash" is a
corruption of the French word "Sau-
wage" and is applied to all the Indians
Of the Pacific coast. The superstitious
natives believe the appearance of the
lpparition presages misfortune to the
tribes.

FACTS ABOUT MILK AS FOOD
As an Article Of Diet There Are Many
Things That Are Not Properly
Understood.

The use Of milk as food has been
so extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists a somewhat
erroneous idea about 1t which a re-
cent speaker, before the American Ped
iatric society, is endeavoring to cor
rect.
These errors principally concern the
group of children between the ages of
and 6 years. These errors might be
classified under the headings: (D
Prolonged use Of milk as an exclusive
article Of diet. (2) Increased guam
titles of milk given along with other
foods.
Milk might not only be used too
long as an exclusive article Of diet and
in excessive quantities with other
foods, but it's nutritional value might
be injured by boiling.
The laity were taught, and rightly
so, that milk was an ideal breeding
place for germs, and that the growth
of these germs might be inhibited by
keeping the milk on ice, or the milk
might be brought to a boil. The use
of boiled milk was becoming more
prevalent, and many injuries to nutri-
ton occurred.

Eminent NaturaIists Who Gave Good

Almighty God would be very hard up
on one who loved His fishes and 9TH
er living things as much as he did.
Another friend Of the fishes, Sir
Charles Edward Fryer, knight, died
not long ago at Watford, near Lon
don, England.
His whole life since he began active
work was devoted to the promotion of
knowledge of fish and fishes, in rela-
tion to the service of mankind. There
was no higher authority. He was
awarded endless medals and h0nors
by expOsitions and societies for his
monographs and annual and other re-
ports.
He was one of the first to define the
international regulation of fisheries Of
the high seas, and was leading men,
Der of many fish congresses and COM
missions.
He was the final authority, with the
last deciding word to say on all mat
ters relating to fish. and the fishing

SOME LOGIC; LITTLE REASON
Examination Papers Turned In by
Youngsters Proved They Gave
Thought to Questions.

"Tell me all you know about CEN
iaurs."
The response Of one boy to this
demand in a recent examination was
as follows:
"a centaur was ancient cavalry and
archery all in one piece He could not
be knocked out of his saddle because
ne didn't have any, being the same
person as his horse. If he needed
stable he did not need a tent, do
not know which, and if he needed for
age he did not need rations, or if he
needed rations he did not need for
age"
Evidently the youngster who gave
that reply was of a military inclination,
and had thought out for himself the
advantages of centaurs on the fighting
line. 1t was funny, but not unin-
telligent. Less original, with only one
little slip indeed to mar its accuracy.
Is the version Of the schOolboy of the
story of the GorgOns.
"The GOrgons," he began confident
", "were three sisters that lived in
the islands Of the Hesperides, some
where in the Indian ocean. They had
long snakes for hair, tusks for teeth
and claws for nails, and they looked |
like women, only more horrible"
1t was a little Boston girl whose |
definition of the minOtaur has long |
been remembered by the elder pupils
in the school that she attended:
"The minOtaur was a large bull
which lived on tributes in a Iaby-
rinth. He was mythical, carnivorous
and fond of young people,"

Not only in quantity does the
American fleet excel, but in quality.
Here are some of the features Of

Two Poison Antidotes.

The old method of administering
an emetic in case of poisoning has
given way to a lavage Of the stomach
which is claimed to have many ad-
yantages over the older process. This
flushing of the stomach must be thor
Oughly done and water musr be taken
at close intervals until about 15 pints
have been consumed. This is fol-
lowed by a quantity Of animal char
coal taken into the stomach to insure
the absorption of any poison which
may be left This takes the place of
old antidOtes, although there is moth
Ing to hinder one from adding some
of the usual antidotes to the water
made use of for flushing purposes.

A NYWHERE in the world on an
~ American ship! Americans no
longer need go to sea or ship
their goods in foreign bottoms.
That, to-day. is the proud message
from the National Capital to the
American people.
From every port in the country
now sail stately and luxurious ves-
sells, under he American flag, car
rying passengers and cargo to every
country in the globe.
The nation, through the United
States Shipping Board, is flinging a
new Declaration of Independence
to the world, independence of for
eign vessels, for American travellers
and commerce.
With a proud merchant fleet num-
bering 300 vessels OF 19.533.89O
deadweight tons (not including
small ships), according to official
figures compiled to May 1, it is now
''up to" the people of the United
States to keep that fleet on the
seven seas. OF this great total the
United States Shipping Board owns
and controls 1920 vessels of
11,139, ,406 deadweight tons.

Color and LIGHT.

To get color and light is the great
thing. The difficulty is to get them
both. Turner in his Italian land
scapes, enhanced the color of his sky
by a dark pine-tree in the foreground,
sacrificing the color of the tree for
the sake of accenting its value and
warmth; and the old landscape
painters device Of a brown tree is
used for the same end-to make the
blue of the sky and distance more
luminous and beautiful. This is also
the reason for the dark-brown fore
ground usual in old landscapes; and
our eye is not arrested by the tree or
the dark foreground, but goes past it
to the point of the picture.-GeOrge

GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

Hot, hot and the fine rain and heavy
hail on Monday seems to intensity th'
heat, instead of relieving it, and al
humanity must suffer
The lumber business in this section
is slowing up, and it is rUmored that
Harry Jester and Bob Clendaniel will
soon close down for want of paying
orders. This will throw many of OuI
best working men out of employment
Perhaps this will help the farmer out
of an embarrassing situation for fOd-
der saving will soon be on, and men
are demanding three dollars day,
and the farmer cannot pay such an
unreasonable price and they will not
try to pay such an eXhOrbtant and
greedy demand. They will resort to
machinery, or lose the fodder, which
is not worth the cost. Then there are
other problems that come up to worry
the perplexed farmed, so we are anx-
ious to see this matter discussed by
farmers in an intelligent way through
the columns of the Chronicle.
Our base ball fans are having quite

losing some games. Two weeks ago the
Lincoln boys reported erroniously
their game here, and gave an account
of their fine victory over the Ellen
dale boys, which was unfair and dis
courteous on their part. The facts CIV
en- us by the newspapers are as fol-
lows: The Lincolnites at first seemed
much pleased and cOmplimented the
umpires on their honesty, when the
game was going their way; however,
when the tide turned, and they found
we had a Milford boy in pitching they !
began to contest the decisions OF the |
Judges, and refused to play fair |
game. and quit. Our boys insisted on
finishing the game, but were refused
in this instance, which is the general
rule. The Ellendale boys claimed the
game 9 to 0. This statement as re-
quested by the manager is not to~
cause any hard feelings for we have
the highest respect for the Lincoln
BOYS, and only ask them in good faith
to meet us on neutral grounds, with
fair umpires and play the game with Z
a good spirit.
