SNOW FALL
MAKES SLIPPERY
GOING FOR CARS

Although no accidents of serious
nature were reported with the ex-
ception of a large closed car which
was said to have left the road and
rolled over twice, short distance
from Manchester on the road to this
city, and another which skidded off
the highway near the Hallowell line,
numerous minor troubles were en-
countered by motorists who were
forced to drive about the city streets
and the State roads in this city on
Friday.
The light fall of snow, of the right
consistency to pack and make the
travelling very slippery, kept auto
mobilists guessing, and hills such as
Rines hill and Cony street hill Of
fered opportunity for much excite
ment for drivers and spectators
alike. At one time shortly after l
o'clock Friday afternoon there were
about Is automobiles on Rines hill,
the majority of them trying to get
over the grade. With wheels spin
ming and snow flying they would
creep up for short distance only
to come to a stop. One in parti-
cular, which was having more trou-
BILE than the majority as far as trace
ton was concerned, had things "all
gummed up for a considerable per-
iod of time and in endeavoring to
get by him, there was a time when
five cars were counted abreast of
each other, part way up the hill.
Several of the machines were
forced to back down the incline, and
once, as one car was going down
front to. as it should, another was
backing down, and third was go
ing down sidewise. One small truck
attempting to make the grade by
driving up in the car track, got
caught directly on the rails and when
progress could no longer be made
and the brakes were applied, the
machine with locked wheels Slid
backward down the track.
An automobile approaching the
spindle at the corner of Water and
Bridge streets at fair rate of speed
swung around twice when the brakes
were applied quickly, it was said,
and when the driver had caught his
breath he remarked in answer to the
words of advice given him by an OIL
ficcr, that he had not realized that
it was so slippery.
Throughout the city automobiles
were doing stunts that their makers
never intended, but fortunate except
for an occasional bent mud guard or
broken headlight no damage was
done.

NEVADA LAYS CLAIM
TO BURIED CITY SITE
Governor Wants State to Have Full
Charge of Explorations in
Ancient Ruins.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RENO, New, February 19.-The
recently discovered ancient cliff dwell
Ter city sometimes referred to as
Pueblo Grande de Nevada, or Lost
City, located along the banks of the
Virgin River in southern Nevada, is
largely on Federal land and. in the
opinion of Governor James Scroug-
ham, should become the property of
the State and a separate State de-
partment created to govern 1T and
conduct further explorations.
Nevada has several claims against
the Federal Government for public
lands. and the Governor in a recent
address at Lovelock said some sort
Of compromise agreement may be
arranged whereby the State will be-
come sole custodian of the buried
city area.
Two or more thousands of years

ing high stage Of development, was
allowed to go to ruin. Whether 1t
was deserted by its residents volun-
tarily, whether they were all slain
or captured and carried off by their
enemies, or all died of disease, is
a matter for speculation. In aRy
event, the city was deserted, and in
time became buried under sand and
debris so that hardly a trace of it
remained until recent discoveries.

tenn has been found, and from this

For those who prize the modern meth
DDS of city building there are the
broad, airy ,thoroughfares of the new
er parts of Seville, and the shady gar
dens and parks along the banks of the
muddy Guadalquivir.
"Sevilles latitude is that of Rich

tropical. Palms flourish and roses and
oranges bloom the year round. The
Winters, Springs and Autumns are de-
lightful, but in Summer the tempera-
ture is uncomfortably hot during much
of the day. The ardent Summer sun
does not bother the seasoned Sevillano
overmuch, however. He has developed
to perfection the art of living in such
climate. From shortly before mid
day for four or five hours Seville
takes it's siesta. leaving the streets
practically deserted. BY o'clock the
city is alive again and from then on
one may watch the ebb and flow Of
smart life in the narrow Gale de

clubs, cafes and the better shops are
concentrated, or in the charmingly

Watch Tower OF the Centuries.
"The center of interest to a tourist
in Seville, both physically and his
torically, is the beautiful and graceful
Giralda, watch tower of the centuries,
as famous in its way as the Cam
paniie of Venice. Rising more than
500 feet. it tops everything in Seville.
The lower two-thirds of the structure
was built about 1900 A. D. by the
Moors to serve as a call tower for
their mosque, and the upper portion
was added in the same style by Spanish
builders in 1868
From the Giralda one sees the
bright. clean city of Seville spread out
in every direction. 1t is set in a vast
plain Of extreme fertility. The squares
and triangles Of gardens and fields fill
the ground for many miles. Beyond
rise hills covered with vineyards and
olive orchards. 1t is a land filled with
the Latin equivalent for milk and
