Who WERE FIRST INHABITANTS
OF The STATE OF IDAHO

BOISE Ida.-Symbols and signs
chiseled, it is believed, ages ago, were
discovered recently on lava rocks in a
remote section of Owyhee county,
southwestern Idaho.
Many of the inscriptions bear strik-
ing resemblances to Chinese alphabet
characters of today, it was said, al
though Psychologists say they may be
anywhere from 400 to 5000 years old
Discovery of the inscriptions, which
are said to be a mine of archaeologi-
cal treasure, was made by Robert Linn
bert, a Boise taxidermist. Their exact
location will not be made public until
they are examined thoroughly this
summer by number of scientists who
are coming here.
The volcanic rock on which the in
scriptiOns are carved, is scattered
over 80 acre sagebrush flat In the
immediate vicinity are several large
caves, around the entrance of which
the rocks are also inscribed. 1t is
believed these caves never have been
explored. Possibly, it is said, they con-
tain many relics of scientific value.
Two distinct types of carvings,
Geographic and Photographic, have

been noted. Archeologists believe
the Geographic antedates by many
years the Photographic. Both systems
have been found together on one
rock and near them can be discerned
what appears to be a third system,
supposed to antedate both of the
others, but which has weathered be-
yond possibility of deciphering.
Clear bits of this prehistoric writ
ing are found on one huge water
worn lava boulder 25 feet long, IA feet
wide and feet high. Near the center
is a series of triangles believed to indi-
cate Indian teepees. and next to them
are rows of dots and dashes. thought
to be numerals.
Resemblance of many of the inscrip-
tions to the characters of the Chinese
alphabet was taken by some to sub
stantiate the theory that the North
American natives descended from a
race which came from Asia by way of
Bering straits.
Indians now living in Idaho. when
questioned regarding the carvings,
says the more modern or Photographic
are the work of their forefathers, but
they assert the others to be the work
of spirits.

Baltimore, Md. Oct. s--After a game. uphill fight in which they overcame a five run lead which St. Paul, of the American association piled up in the third inning. the Baltimore club, of the International league won the third game of the Little World Series here his af- ternoon 1s to 10. The contest was wit messed by a capacity crowd, there be- ing 14,oss paid admissions. Thousands were turned away.
 Joe Sheehan, of the Saints, and Jack Bentley, of the Orioles, considered the pitching aces of the rivals, both were driven to the showers. Bentley was touched up for six hits in the third including honners out of the park by Golvin and Dresser. The Orioles came right back in the third with a four-run rally which put them with within one run of the visitors. In the next inning they continued pounding the ball at the expense of Rogers, who had relieved Sheehan in the third. A homer by Bish- op, of the Orioles, in the fourth, with two on the bases, was the blow which ciinched the game for Baltimore. Score

 Kelly has been a weak hitter. He had not batted effectively against any of the Yankee hurlers. Huggins fig #ured all these things and ordered Young passed. That. in my opinion was the best piece of strategy in the series.
 But Kelly broke the law of base ball averages and hit. That was bad luck for the Yankees and great bit of work by our first baseman.
 'sThe Giants have fought their best throughout the series, and fighting has won for them. We have had good pitching; so have the Yankees, but we had the breaks and we took advan- tage of them
 There isn't any use quibbling about it, said Miller Higgins. We were whipped soundly and we'll and mostly through our faults. John McGraR has a great ball team. His men hac lots of good luck, but they didn't miss one opportunity to score during the series. They didn't throw chance ] away.
 'In today's game, when Bush wa. in trouble in the eighth, I ordered hin to pass Young because Young is dangerous hitter.

ACADEMY ELEVEN BATTLES
 TO TIE WITH sTONINGToN

The Academy eleven battled to scoreless tie against the Stonington team on Saturday afternoon. The game was hard fought in all four periods and the play was most in the middle territory each team holding the other to downs the greater part of the time. The near est to a score was when a series of end runs and line plays put the ball on Stonington's 8 yard line but here Stonington held and the Academy lost the ball.
 Stonington executed a number of good forward passes and trick plays that netted about 30 yards each time in the third period that brought the ball to ! the Academy yard line but a tumble lost them the ball. These were the only times that there was any danger of ei- | ther putting over a touchdown Both
 teams showed a lack of football know
 ledge and the playing at times was rath- l CT ragged.
