the United States Ma
tional park system and
Palm Canyon National
Monument has been well
started on its way. Ho-
venweep lies on both
sides of the boundary

Then there is Holly House, which ap-
pears to have peer n pueblo of rec
tangular form. These are but a few
of the historical structures that await
the pleasure of the tourist. However.
they are typical of the splendid relics
that are TO be found In the Hoven-
weep Monument"
Palm Canyon National monument
was created by act of congress-with
two strings tied to It. The act author
lies the secretary Of the interior to set
aside 1,6OO acres In the county Of
Riverside. California, provided. that
before such reservation and dedica-
ton as herein authorized shall become
effective the consent and %relinquish-
ment of the Aqua CalIente band of In
dlans shall first be obtained, covering
Its right, title, and interest in and TO
the lands herein described, md pay
ment therefor to the members Of said
band on a per capita basis, at a price
to be agreed upon, when there shall be
donated for such purposes to the sec
rotary of the interior Il fund in an
amount to be fixed and determined by
him as sufficient to compensate the
Indians therefor"
That's the provision, verbatim ct
literatlm. II certainly means that the
promoters must raise the money TO
pay for the land. II apparently also
means that the Indians shall willingly
sell. Anyway, Uncle Sam isn't going
to pay anything. II is said that n pur-
chase fund has been or will be raised.
The Indians, however, are reported to
be unwilling to sell.
Anyway, the area set aside with its
strings consists of three canyons with
their desert approaches: Andreas,
Murray and Palm. The center Of
things Is the village OF Palm Springs.
which Is n fourlshlng winter and
spring resort In "Our Arnby" OF tho
Colorado desert of southern Callfor-
nia. The purpose of the mum is
to preserve fine growths OF a native
American palm. the Washingtonlan
flifera.
Palm canyon, most impressive Of tho
three, is n pass rather than n canyon,
about ten miles long, with Palm creek
flowing through II. The palms nre in
groves. Fifty feet Is their average
height, with here and there one reach
Ing 40 feet. Andreas canyon also has
its stream and It's palms with their
picturesque ''pettlcoats." Murray can.
yon lies between ihe other two and Is
much like them.
In early spring the Colorado desert
here blossoms like the well.known
rose, only more sO-in sand verbena,
desert gold, luplne and primrose. Keep
OF he desert is the proper summer
sign.

''The ruins in the Square Tower an
yon may be described somewhat as
follows: Ruins which have indica-
tons of inclosed circular kivas, with
mural pilasters and b~anquettes, and
closely approXimated surrounding
rooms To this class belongs Hoven-
weep castle, the Hovenweep pueblo
and the so-called Unit Type house, the
last named belonging to the simplest
form of the pure type. Second, there
are the ruins, the main feature of
which is the absence of a circular
kiva. The Twin Towers belong to this
second or great house type.
"The largest of the ruins I'm this
canyon is Hovenweep house, situated
at the head of the South Fork. AL
though many of Its walls have fallen.
there still remains a s"emicircular
great house with high walls ~consplcu-

pueblo of rectangular form belonging
to the pure type, showing circular de-
pressions identified as kivas, imbedded
in collections Of square and rectangu-
lar rooms, and massive walled build
ings on the south side. The standing
walls are remains of n conspicuous
multi-chambered D-shaped tower.

ASKS MODIFICATION
 OF U. s. ROAD BAN
Colonel Fordyce, Highway Commis- siOner, Confers With Federal Off,
 cials in Washington.

Washington, April 23.-Col John R. Fordyce, one of the three members of the Arkansas Highway Commission, arrived in Washington today and con- ferred this afternoon with officials of the Federal Bureau of Roads.
 It is said that Colonel Fordyce is here in an attempt to obtain restora- tion of federal aid in the state or some sort of modification of Secretary Wal laces orders discontinuing federal aid.
 Details of the conference this after noon could not be learned, but it was said at the Bureau that the govern ment is standing pat on Secretary Wallace's original conditions. Secre- tary Wallace, however, is out of the city and in his absence it would be i'm possible to arrange any sort of a compromise, even if one were contem- plated.
 Assistant Chief Engineer James to- day submitted to Chief Macdonald of 'hN CNt0l GU iAlSHNdy Dul eau d SuppIe- mental report regarding District No. } in Conway county. The report is based on certain statements made by the road commissioners of that dis trict during the House case trial at Morrillton, which are referred to in former Chief Justice Joseph w. Hills brief submitted to the Arkansas Su- preme Court in the House case.
 Judge Hill charged that "at least two of the commissioners had admit ted on the witness stand that they were unofficially lying to the Highway Department to obtain federal aid "
 The instance referred to was a com munication to the State Highway De- partment at Little Rock saying that the commissioners had decided to re- duce the mileage on a certain road project although they had no inten- tion Of making a reduction, but were using the statement to allot addition al federal aid.
 The statements of Judge Hill are considered by bureau officials to be very grave and it was indicated that they will be taken into consideration in connection with the handling of any phase of the Arkansas road prob lem.

Florence, s. C., April 24.-Taking is- sue with the recent report of the De- partment of Agriculture, that the in- dicated cotton acreage is 12 per cent greater than last year, Senator Smith of South Carolina declared today that in the Carolinas and Georgia at least the outlook of the cotton crop is the poorest in years.
 Unfavorable weather migration of tenant farmers and discouragement felt by farmers from the 1920-21 price were the causes he gave.
 Whatever may have been the in- tent of the department, the result of the report was, at least temporarily disastrous to the price of cotton" the ment, but l do know that so Tai. as senator said. q do not know the sources of information of the depart the Carolinas and Georgia are con- cerned, conditions of the cotton crop are the poorest in years, perhaps the poorest in the history of the South At lantic cotton states.''

Will Be Big Rush for Jury
 Duty In Booze Law Trial

Los Angeles, April 24.-Juries in bootlegging cases are legally entitled to drink the evidence, according to w. Maxwell Burk, deputy district attor- ney
 His ruling followed the trial of Joe Lankin, charged with violation of the Wright act. Burk introduced bottle of liquor as evidence.
 The jury heard the testimony and retired with the evidence. When it returned it was hung-seven five for conviction. The evidence was gone.
 "The jury has the right to sample the evidence" said Burk. "It has the right to take the liquor into the jury room and determine whether it is liquor. In this case the jury evident ly found the evidence genuine, but you would not know it by the disagreement as to guilt or innocence"
 With the evidence gone, Burk said, it is improbable Lankin will be tried a. gain.

Noted Preacher to Preach
 In AshdOWn Sunday

At the Presbyterian Church Sunday Dr J. $. Baird will present to the Presbyterians of this community the statewide movement for Christian ed ucation now being conducted i'll Ark ansas. This is a campaign for $4O6,- 900 to be apportioned as follows: Ar kansas College, $325, ,0O0 Caddo Val ley Academy, Womble, $7,O0O; Noun taincrest School, Mountaincrest, ST. 900 for work among Presbyterian stud ents at State University, $7,O00; and $60,000 for endowment of Arkansas Chair of New Testament Language and Exegesis at the Austin Presbyterian Seminary. So far, according to news received from headquarters at Little Rock, the response has been most gratifying. The Presbyterians have a period of four years or longer to pay their pledges. Every effort will be made to finish the movement up by the end of June. The movement was de- cided upon after several meetings of the Presbyterian Synod and the needs of the institutions named as benefci- aries carefully gone over The Semi nary at Austin, for example, is partial ly controlled by the Presbyterians of this state, and it is felt that unless something is done to supply the church with Christian leaders and ministers for the vacant pulpits in this state serious situation will arise
 It is emphasized by those in charge of the work here that there will be no solicitation of funds from the pulpit. It is planned to present the cause and afterwards to organize and discuss the apportionment among the members of the church here.
