cone of the most interesting developments
which the excavations has shown Is that
IN" citizens of ColOphon clearly understood
some Of the fundamental elements of city
planning. and that they carried it out very
much as some of our larger cities are doing
today. The evidence on this point Is very
clear.
THE terrace where our digging is being
conducted was apparently covered over with
houses for the greater part Of its length, and
then it is evident that the citizens decided
TO make n large open space, evidently for
thc, marketplnce. and to flank it with large
buildings AT right angles. There is also in
disDutnble evidence that streets. which had
b""n originally crooked were made straight
1.-THE public buildings which have been
discovered had been built upon the site Of
private houses, which were condemned for
this purpose. and the new civic structure
built on top Of the houses which were torn
down. The remains of the foundations Of
what were unQuestionably private houses are
still standing under those OF the civic build
ings.
Much Still Uncovered
'The excavations will he continued next
year, and there will probably be three or
four later campaigns before all the treas
urcs Of antiquity of ColOphon will be un-
covered. Probably thd whole area of the
city will never be completely excavatad.
period were one story high. but every house
had one second story room. with stairs
way Lending TO II. Just what the purpose
was of this single room on the second floor
has not yet been shown. Usually the houses
had six or eight rooms on the first floor.
TIL" excavations Of n later period. such ns
those Of Pompeii and DelOs show two story
houses generally in use.
Street Drains Were Known
"Thc Colophon houses all had we'l made
tile roofs. and the streets had equally we'll
made tile drains. A bathing establishment,
which is not yet all dug ont, shows n num-
bcr Of terra Gotta bathtubs. As the cxca-
vation of this establishment Is not COM
pI"tcd, it is impossible to say now how large

thus far, and this feature Of the Colophon
excavations may prove to he of even more
importance when the entire establishment
is cyCavatcd.
'l'rom this and other features which have
been cXcnvatod, there IS excellent reason to
believe that the inhabitants Of Colophon lived
in considerable luxury"

Value OF ColopIon Excavations

"The excavations thus far made at Colo
nhon have largely verified these historical as
snrtions Antiquities have been found which
date back to the tim" usually given as the
date of the fall Of Troy, and they include
some things never before found in Asia
Minor.
"Thc excavations give clear evidence that
Colophon was n hOur!shinG city in the fourth
century b. c.. and that it came to sud-
den stop, thus bearing out what has been
given as its history. This was one Of the
chief reasons for the selection of COlophOn
as a possible site for excavation.
"Whorc II city has continued in existence
for centuries, the later cvilizatiOn as n
matter of course, 10 bound to elminnte, to
n certain degree at least, the older civiliza-
ton, and the two are 30 mixed az TO render
the older things considerably less value to
the student of classical times. But here was
q city which had suddenly ceased to exist
There had been no later civilization laid
on top Of the older, and for this reason
COlOphon represents perhaps more accurately
than any other known place the state OF
civilization in the fourth century, the time
when It was abandoned in favor of the larger
Ephesus. There is no mixture there, and
the city, as It is being uncovered, Is today
Just as 1t was when abandoned.
What Has Been Found
"Already there have been found the mar.
ketplaCe, streets, houses, public buildings
and one sanctuary. No temple has been
uncovered as yet.
'The picture Of the excavations Of the
life of that day, the times and the houses,
adds aGgood bit to the historical background

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT

Just conversation and food were what

contemplative silence without being con-
spicuous; one might even grow sleepy with
impunty before n pleasant fire in an easy
chair. and then wake to talk. or wake to
read. or wake TO take turn in the garden
under the stars, or go TO bed scarcely waking
without any consciousness about SEEM

ABOUT THE RAILROAD

In the Seattle Spirit, official pub llcation of the Chamber of Con- merce, are the following interesting facts concerning the Alaskan rail- road.
 Completion and driving of golden spike expected in mid-February.
 Built by United States Army en- gineers at a cost of $56,OOO,OOO. Connects Seward, on the coast, with Fairbanks, interior metropolis, a distance of 467 1-2 miles. Branch lines bring the total mileage to 539.93.
 Preliminary surveys were made in 1914 and actual construction began in 1915. Last unit to be built, Riley creek bridge. Trains have been running be- tween Seward and Anchorage, IA miles, for IS months. ! The railroad opens up fertile ag- ricultural lands, four wealthy min- I ing districts, Mount Mckinley nat ional park and prospective oil fields.
 Estimated passenger revenue up to final completion of road is $1 ,000, 900.
 Rate on hay, grain and potatoes from Seattle to Fairbanks along the old route via St. Michael and the Yukon, $70 a ton; from Seattle via government railway, $30 d ton. Branch lines tap Chickaioon coal

Got walls, engineer officer of the Alaska Road Commission, in Seattle on his way east to enjoy has first leave of absence in six years. Tn Fair banks" he said, more people are wintering this year than in four years, which indicates a most heal thy sign for mining revival. These people will take the first opportun- ity of weather to start operations. Already the upper Kuskokwim dis trict is very prosperous. One dredge in the McGrath district this past season took out $1,0O0,0OO worth of gold, and three more dredges will be in operation there this winter.
