Many Are Going To
The Celebration At
Ham gan bleadows

Many Northern Arizona people,
including large number from
WinsIow are planning to attend
the big celebration Saturday and
Sunday at Hannagan's Meadow,
between Springerville and Clifton,
c0mmemoratIng the opening of the
north and south road just being
finished, that will open up to the
aOuth one of Arizona's most not
ed recreatiOnal areas.
The monument at Hannagan's
Meadows will be dedicated by Gov
ernor Hunt Saturday with appro-
pirate exercises. A big barbecue
will be staged, and a rodeo for
both days, Saturday and Sunday,
the 18th and goth is on the pro-
garm.
1t is estimated that over 1000
people will attend the celebration,
In no less than 900 automobiles.
Many of these will not return
via the same route but will make
the loop through Holbrook and
Winslow to Flagstaff and the
Grand Canyon, returning to the
south via Ashfork and Prescott to
Phoenix and other southern points
This will be but a forerunner OF
the hundreds of Arizona auto tour
lists who will make the loop tC
Northern Arizona, and Winslow

OLA CONTAINING
HUMAN BONES HAS
BEEN UNEARTHED

Stafford = Further evidence
that the ella valley was at one
time inhabited by a prehistoric
race of people was revealed with
the unearthing of large Indian
Ola containing the burnt bones Of
what was, without a doubt, human
beings. The find was made by Rex
Bryce, the 13-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. B. Bryce, on their
home place in Layton last Saturday
afternoon. The boy had been put
to work by his father, digging up
some sand in the back yard and
when he had reached a depth of
about two feet, the shovel struck
something hard. The child, think
ing it was only a brick, broke it
in digging it up. While digging
out the small one, Rex discovered
another and larger one close by
the little one. Calling his father
and showing what he had found,
they very carefully dug the dirt
from around the larger one and
made an investigation of the find.
Over the top of each was what
might be called a dish, about three
inches deep and evidently made
purposely to fit the ollas. The
larger dish or plate, shows signs
of having had something burned
In it, perhaps the bones found in
the larger receptacle.
Nothing but sand was found in
the small ola, but in the larger
one was a mass of charred and
broken bones, buried in the sand.
That the bones are those of human
beings is readily seen. Parts of
the different bones of the body are
easily picked out and evidently
bones of both grown people and
children buried in the same urn,
as part of the pieces are from
small body. Pieces of the skull
the two bones of the hip, pieces
of the ribs, legs, ETC., are easily
distinguished and put together.
Both ollas are of different type
from those found here and known
to be of comparatively recent date,
are splendidly well-preserved and
do not show any signs of falling
to pieces since being exposed to
the air. The larger one has cir
cumference of 26 inches with
depth of 10 inches, and the small
er one measures 16 inches around.

higher today, showing better under
tone than had been expected in view
of the weakness in the Liverpool mar
ket Although demand appeared to
come mostly from shorts, some of the
leading local operators were most ia
Vorably disposed toward new crop posi-
tions at these Levels.
Commission house buying of late
months also was reported. consid-
cradle amount of price fixing was
noted, partly for continental account.
Liverpool bought here, but sold in their
own market, reversing straddles, Whlch
helped explain the weakness abroad.
The upturn was continued after the
opening in line with better reports
from the stock market. March ad-

cial objects of attack Tuesday. Many
speculative accounts which had been
carving this class of stocks at con-
siderably higher prices were forced
to liquidate, and it made little or no
difference what prices were obtained
fer these holdings.
Of course, the Interstate Commerce
Commissions decision against the
proposed Nickel Plate merger was a
blow to the speculative element,
which was expecting big things in
the market for the railway stocks.
But as the railway shares have little
market on the curb, the price move
ment here was not affected.
