DOG DIGS UP XMAS
Indian Torbs Throw Light on First
Civilization on Continent-Pottery,
Utensils and Handiwork
Also Discovered.

Zun1a, N. Mo q prairie dog and
q Zuni Indian belongs the credit fol-
discovery of two ancient kivas or cere-
monial chambers of prehistoric Indian
lie In western New Mexico. Valuable
relics were discovered which it is be-
lieyed may throw additional light on
earliest civilization in this country.
Ihe find was made while Frank w.
hodge, an archaeologist of New York,
and Zuni Indian were making exca-
vations at the old abandoned village
OF HaWiku in southwestern Mckinley
county. The Indian noticed human
comes in the loose dirt around the
freshly dug habitat Of a prairie dog.
Pursuing the dogs underground course
with shovel he came to the remain
der of the skeleton and then to fine
piece OF prehistoric masonry which led
him into the kivas.
Mr.. Hodge draws the conclusion that
the kivas were the work of Indians
from the San Juan district Of Colorado
rather than of the Zunis of tnis Sec
ton. The masonry was well preserved
and not at<all like the careless work
OF the Zunis. The structure was more
like the ruins in the Aztec Mesa Verde
and Chaco canyon
Houses built on the kivas were ap-
parently the work Of later peoples. Ten
burials that were unearthed, Mr..
Hodge believes, were those of Zunis
OF latter times. One kiva was seventeen
feet in diameter and its walls formed
an almost perfect circle, the deviation
from the circle being not more than
an inch. The other was about four feet
smaller.
Mr.. Hodge Is working under the aus
pices Of the Museum of the American
Indian Heye Foundation, New York.
Ed Coffin Of the same Institution and
eighteen Zuni Indians are assisting
him in his fifth year Of investigation
Of the Hawiku village, a place at one
dme inhabited by the earliest Spanish
conQuistadores In the Sixteenth cen
Jury in their search for gold
The present years work has re-
covered many exhibits Of pottery,
utensils and crude handiwork Of the
early occupants Of the dwellings, as
veil as some seeds apparently In Z
rood state of preservation.
Mr.. Hodges camp is eleven miles
outhwest Of Zuni and fifty miles from

SOLICITING OF ADS
BARRED BY STUDENTS
Student Solicitors Must Carry Card
Designating Authority and Signed
by President of Student Body

Indiscriminate solicitation of ad-
yertisements from Pullman mer-
chants by students of the college for
unauthorized publications came in
for a healthy rap at the meeting of
the student body last Thursday The
action of the student body was the
result of the appearance recently of
publication which was not en-
dorsed by the associated students yet
carried the advertisements of a mum
Der of Pullman business men. The
concensus of opinion among the stu
dents is that this class of advertis-
ing detracts materially from the sup
port which is due the Evergreen,
Chinook Glebe, athletic program and
mock sale catalogue, the only pub
lications officially recognized by the
student group, and at the came time
does not provide value received for
the advertisers.
uc SbudthL bOus Oh lHul 6udS
unanimously adopted the following
resolution concerning the solicitation
of advertisements and ask the sup
port of the local business men in
enforcing its provisions:
Resolved, That all advertising So
licitOrs for the five authorized stu
dent publications be required to car
ry an official card designating their
authority and signed by the presi-
dent Of the associated students and
the graduate manager; further, that
the merchants be notified, sem-an-
nually, OF the authorized publica-
tons and the authorized solicitors
for each. "

COME TO PULLMAN
This City Made Division Point Under
New observation-disclosures
Laments Loss of
Payroll.

Pullman is again a division point
for the freight trains of the Spokane
Lewiston division and three full
crews were tiled up in the city Mon
day night for the first time since
Pullmans infancy. The change of
the division point from Moscow TO
Pullman means that Pullman's pom
ulation will be increased to the ex-
tent of at least l 5 trainmen and their
families, some of whom have resided
in Moscow for many years.
At the chamber of commerce
meeting Tuesday a unanimous vote
of appreciation was extended to the
Northern Pacific company for chang
ng the division point to Pullman. and
a committee was named to arrange
for proper accommodations for the
train men and to extend a cordial
welcome to the new citizens.
Pullman gain is Moscow's loss.
and the Idaho citizens are lamenting
the fact that 5 perfectly good citi-
zens and a payroll of upwards of
$4,000 per month are lost to them. In
recent issue the daily Star-Mirror

reduced so per cent. Instead of daily
freight service between Spokane and

Four freight train crews are af-
fected by the change, in addition to

homes in Moscow and have lived here
many years, are to be moved to Pull

The Palouse visitors denied state

louise chamber of commerce Is more
desirous OF securing four and one
half mile Donahue road to connect
Palouse with the Idaho state high

to Moscow than the state highway,
Palouse to Pullman. Certainly we
want the Donahue road" one of
their spokesman said, but most i'm
portant of all is the Pullman-Pa,
louise road, and we are going TO
bend every effort to get it as soon
as possible" He pointed out that
there is not Donahue road within
10 miles of Palouse, that Palouse is
the largest town in the country with
out an improved highway artery, and
that the completion of the Pullman
Palouse highway would place Pa
louise on the main highway between
Lewiston and Spokane, with tho
probability that much of the travel

Admitted Nagrant Will Law Out Fine

The solitude OF the city bastile is
more attractive to w. NJ. Riley, al
mitted yagrant, than work at so certs
per hour on the city streets. and as
a result Riley on Wednesday started
on a fiye-day incarceration in the
Pullman jail, which has not had a

SPECIAL ELECTION TO
RAISE SCHOOL FUNDS
Citizens VIII Vote on Special Seven
Mill Levy to Maintain Present
Standards of Local
Schools.

A special school election to nth
orize the levy of an additional seven
mills for maintenance purposes will
be held in the near future as the re-
suit of the unanimous adoption by
the chamber of commerce of recon-
mendations made by a special COM
mittee named to cooperate with the
school board in solving the question
of school finances. The committee
reported that a levy of seven mills
over and above the 10 mills permit
ted by law would place the school
board in a position to operate next
year without curtailing the Curri
culum. The additional levy will
likely mean that the present salary
scale can be continued and that the
big majority of the present instruc
tors and school officials will renew
their contracts for next year. The
present faculty is the most efficient
in the history of the school district,
WIFI peIIeCl nal llOly plcNdllAht7'
During the present school year IS
more pupils have been enrolled than
last year and the average daily at
tendance has exceeded that of last
year by over 100. Fifteen mills
would operate the schools next year
by continuing the present oyercrowd-
ed condition if there were no in
crease in attendance but it is expect
ed that at least % more will be add
ed to the enrolment with the open
ing OF the new school year. This con-
dition will make it necessary to open
two rooms of the Franklin building,
on Methodist hill, requiring at least
one and probably two additional
teachers and additional fuel. The
expense of making this building
available for instruction will require
the added two mills Of levy.
Last year the district voted an
additional five mills for maintenance
purposes, over and above the 10 mills
possible without election, but the
county commissioners levied only
8. 6 mills, so that the district actually
realized IA mills less than was re-
quired and voted.
