RELICS OF A
strange RACE
ARE UNEARTHEO

What may prove to be the great
est archaeological discovery ever
made in the Pacific northwest is be-
ing uncovered now by scrapers of
the road crews working on the
Columbia River highway six miles
above The Dalles.
Scores of graves and skeletons
have been found. together with
ruins of buildings, body ornaments,
cooking implements and many other
relics of a civilization that is be-
lieved to have preceded the Indians.
Cello Indians of that district,
richest in lore and traditions OF the
many tribes of Indians residing In
the vinicity of the The Dalles, knew
nothing about the existence of this
burial ground and are unable to-
read any of the numerous signs APP
pearing on the unearthed relics.
The findings indicate that the
community and graveyard were not
overwhelmed by a volcanic disaster,
but rather that the skeletons are
chose OF victims of fire, and that
sand was probably blown in to
bury the community completely.
Sand storms are still frequent oc-
curences in The Dalles and Cello
districts.
More than a dozen skeletons have
been unearthed. These are SO cid
that they moulder to dust upon be-
ing touched Near the bodies were
found ornaments of pure copper.
These were beaten out with ham
mers. and in them one sees flocks
of ore. There is no copper in the
Cello country and it is believed the
tribe wandered down from the Ida
no Snake River country. The beau
tiful vases and ornamental stone
hammers are finer works OF art than
those of any known tribe of Indians
in the northwest.

er's convention, which Is in session
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Prominent men from the western
section of the country will be repres-
ented at the convention including

II is expected from what has been
announced that important measures
for the immediate relief of the sheep
men will be taken up. 1t is said that
measures pertaining to the deferment
of the payment of the government
range fees for the use Of public do
mains for grazing purposes will be
brought up before the forest officials
who will be present. The question OF

NECESSITY FOR
STREET DRAINAGE
NOW APPARENT

with mother week of rain the
erayeed streets of Mountain Home
are still firm and solid to traffic but
their surface is one continuous
puddle of soft mud and water. the
streets ought to be dragged today
and immediate work should pc
started toward getting the drains
omen to carry off the surplus water.
II this is not done IL will be only a
short time until holes are broken
through the hard surfacing and the
streets will go to pieces. The next
year they will have to be repaired
at a considerably greater expense
than would De necessary to drain
them at the present time. There
should also be a comprehensive
plan laid out for the surface drain
age of the city. A drainage system
that would carry off the water as
fast as it felt and keep the streets
dry at all times. Probably the best
plan would be to make Jtch deep
enough to drain the entire town
east Of the railway on one OF the
north and south streets, place cul-
verts of sufficient capacity at the
intersections of all cross streets,
and then drain all other streets to
it. The street work done in the
past two years is said to have cost
about $4,000 1--WE have no figures to
refer to) and if some effort at drain
age is not made within short time,
these streets will be worn out In
half the time they ought to last.

Resolutions Are in Order.

The changing of the years al
ways is a matter OF general inter
est and concern. The completion OF
the annual cycle is like the passing
of a milepost on journey, 1t marks
another step of progress and clos
er approach to the ultimate goal. 1t
therefore is customary to observe
this occasion as great holiday,
and to indulge in various exercises
and parctices intended to indicate
the Joy and satisfaction that are
felt over successful accomplishments
If the past. together with the wish
and hope that the arrival of tpe
New Year means something still
better in the matter of rewards
blessings and general good luck.
From this idea has grown the I'M
iversal practice, at least among
civilized people, of observing the
New Years holiday by an exchange
of friendly greetings and felicia
tons. coupled with the wish that
the New Year may profe one of hap
piness and real enjoyment. With
many this is purely an act OF for
NAL courtesy perhaps. Yet the
sentiment that lies back of 1t Is
one of friendship and kindly con-
sideration, and the effect and in
fluence are beneficial, elevating and
inspiring. For in this exchange of
good wishes there naturally Is
aroused a better appreciation OF the
good qualities that prevail in the
make up Of every individual, and
thus friendships are more firmly
cemented, and respect and conf
dence are bred where before they
may have failed to exist.
The customary greetings, frolics
and amusements that are part Of
the New Years celebration, how
ever are not the only things that re-
ceive the attention of the people OF
this day. Serious minded persons
are inclined to regard it as a time
for atking stock, reviewing the old
records to see where improvement
can be made, and formulating plans
FOR the future that will promise
still better results and greater ace
eomplishments. In this connection
comes the practice OF making good
resolutions on New Years day, q
practice that has been beneficial to
many and deserves to be encouraged.
For while good resolutions can be
made at any time sof the year. there
Is an extra incentive to give thought
to such matters when one year If
being closed and another is about
to begin.

REVIEW Of MAR
,.KET CONDITIONS in
IDAHO FOR MONTH

Smaller shipments of fruit, grain.
livestock and hay, and many reduc-
tons in prices, are reported this
week for southern Idaho.
For the first time this season the
carlot movement of all fruits and
vegetables within the United States
is less than that for the CORE
spending period last year, and with
a total of only 4404 cars, Is little
more than half that of the preced-
ing year. This appears to have In
auenced slight recoyeries in most
classes and otherwise generally i'm
proved conditions in these lines,
Apples are perhaps the only ex-
eepti0n to the generally improved
condition mentioned above, which ia
probably due principally to the
passing of the holiday demand, and
unless this is replaced by some
other of equal proportion, In view
of the storage accumulation, little
hope can be retained for early re-
c0yeries, Carl0t shipments Of
barreled stock totaling 642 cars for
the week are little more than half
those of the previous week, and yet
almost three times greater tlfan
those for the corresponding period
one year ago.
Those of boxed stock totaling 800
ears were also little more than half
those Of the preceding week and
same period last year. Prices at
about two-thirds of those OIL the
points of shipment were ranging
irregularly weak and lower to
steady. Northwestern boxed fancy
Winesaps were reported 25 cents per
box lower at So /, 0. b. and in mod
crate jobbing demand in the con-
Stunning centers around $3.25.
Potatoes show fairly general i'm
provement over last week, with car
lot shipments totaling approximate
ly 600 cars less than those the
preceding week Prices at the
northern shipping points show ad-
ditioaal recoveries of 5 to 10 cents
over last week, closing mostly at
$1.25 to $1.35. Russets held
around so cents at Idaho points the
fore part of the week, weakening TO
rs to IS cents the middle of the
week, afterwards recovering to for
mer levels.
heavier last week than that of the
previous week, and receipts on the
middle western markets have MOI
cleaned up fatiy, permitting Sign
aecumulations, which appear u
have resulted in general depres.
sion. Quotations ranged Is cent
to $1,25 lower for hogs; irregularly
rs cents to $50 lower to rs cents
to 81 higher for cattle, and rs to sc
cents lower for sheep.
Reports for the week indicate =
slight increase in receipts of hay j
the principal markets, but these
have been reported to be cleaning
up fairly well, considering the usual
holiday dizziness the fore part of thu
week Prices have maintained for
mer levels we'll, and in some few in
stances show gains.
More than to hundred thousand
bushels of wheat have been shipped
out under the agreement arranged
for by members Of the Idaho Wheat
Growers association whereby they
have permitted to ship their wheat
| to a milling concern and receive an
advance Of 81 bushel, and 1t is be.
| lieved that more than three hund.
red thousand Bushels more will be
shipped out under the same plan be

care for the planes.
The air men expect to celebrate
New Years probably far from eivili-
cation, in Mexico.
