on a mount named Calvin Coolidge.
The usual large number Of callers
were received today by the president
in his offices in the Rapid City high
school. He heard of favorable crop
conditions in North Dakota from a
delegation of jamestown people and
he received an invitation to visit
Spearfish Canyon, S. D., an unusual
ly attractive part of the black hills
where beef steak barbecue awaited
him.
Late in the day Mrs. Coolidge re-
ceived Mrs. Gladys Pyle, South Da-
kota secretary of state and her mother
Mrs. John Pyle, of Huron, S. D., who
took the Harding Coolidge electoral
vote for this state to Washington in
1921.
The president retreated to SquaW
Creek for few hours of fishing, US
| ing flies which he is trying out in
place of the worms he used when he
first started angling in the black hills
streams.

COWBOYS RELAY
INVITATION TO.
THE PRESIDENT

RAPID CITY, S. D., July II, ga
relay of western horsemen rode swift
ly over prairie and hills tonight in a
revival of the pony express, bearing
an invitation to President Coolidge to
visit Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Into the pocket of each rider as he
picked up the trail where his predec-
essor left off, a roll of buckskin was
slipped and on it was inscribed mes
sage of good will to Mr.. Coolidge and
the hope that he would attend an
other rodeo in the Wyoming capital
July 28.
Although it has been Indicated that
the president may find it impossible
to make any trips outside of South
Dakota, Mr.. Coolidge watched the pro-
gress of the riders with interest, see
ing in their ride what miraculous ad-
vance in the transportation of mail
has been made IN the west during a
quarter of century
A hundred miles from his summer
residence, the latest development in
the postal service was Winging through
the air at high speed, yet a few de-
cadeS agoe the delivery Ola letter in
these western parts was fraught with
the greatest hazards both to life and
property.
Tonight as the twenty-seven relay
riders rode on their mission they
travelled over the same Cheyenne
Deadwood stage coach trail used in
the old days, when ambushing In
dians and marauding badmen were
looked for at every turn. Now the trail
was over mostly graded and graveled
roads through peaceful valleys turned
to the production of crops.
The end of the 27O mile journey
which began, at Cheyenne this morn
ing, lies at the summer White House
In company with Governor Emerson
of. Wyoming, who was expected to
come here by airplane, President Cool
idge will receive the last rider-Da-
kota Clyde Jones, tomorrow after
noon. Twenty seven riders will have
ridden 10 miles each on horses named
in honor of distinguished wyoming,
Nebraska and South Dakota citizens.
The trip was started by John H.
Butch) Bell on horse named Frank
Emerson, in honor of the Wyoming
governor and will be ended by Jones

CHINESE CHARIOTS
500 YEARS B. c. FOUND

Washingtington, June 20, (AP)
= While Chinese armies are en-
gagged in civil Warefare with mod
ern weapons, American archeol-
ogist have brought to light two
Chinese war chariots, 2, 500 years
old.
The chariots which were exca-
waited by the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition scientists near c. e n G
Chow, Honan province, indicate
that the ancient Chinese civilizs-
ton antedated the western civil
zation in the use of wheeled We
hicles. The Chinese chariots, the
archeologist assert, date back to
500 years before Christ, the lat
ter part Of the Chou dynasty,
while the earliest wheeled vehic-
les found in the western section
of the world date back only to
400 years B. C.
The ancient chariots were
found by accident. A Chinese
farmer, while digging a well, dug
up a number of vessels, which he
sold to some local dealers in an
tiques. The military authorities
heard of the find and took pos
session of the relics, the Smith
sonian expedition later taking
charge of the excavation work.
Coincidentally, the discovery
disclosed that a Bronze Age exis-
ted in China as we'll as in other
parts of the world, the chariots
having been made Of that metal.
It also showed that the Chinese,
like the westerners, followed a
custom of burrying chariots, hor-
ses and other valuable possessions
with their owners.
Two dimunitive models of the
chariots, fashioned after the ex-
cavated models, have been placed
on exhibition by the institution.
Unusual features of the ancient
chariots were the great width of
the hubs and large number of
spokes in the wheels. Each spoke
had a fange extending out a con-
siderable distance to prevent it
from sinking in the mud. 1t is
believed oxen drew the charlots,
although at first it was supposed
that man-power was used. The
vehicles were equipped with huge
bamboo umbrellas, similar to
those seen on present-day farm
wagons.

DR. E. /. PHIPPS PASSES AWAY

This entire community was i'm
measureably shocked and sorely
grieved at the death of DR.. E. l..
Phipps on June "a, 1927. DR.. Phipps
was one of this county's best loved
and most valuable citizens. Death
came almost suddenly, only an ap-
parently slight and brief illness pre-
ceding the end. The deceased was
born about seven miles north of
Clintwood, sixty-seven years ago.
He was Injured to the hardships of
all the boys growing up in this Sec
tion in that period, was educated in
the public schools of this county,
and graduated in medicine from
the Louisville Medical College more
than forty years ago.
He was a highly successful pract-
itioner of his profession and one
of the most popular physicians of
this whole mountainous lection.
| ALTHOUGH he was confined to his
home by a stroke of paralysis
twenty-one years ago, he continued
the practice of medicine by patients
resorting thither for treatment.
He was a man of abundant viz
tues among which were his rugged
honesty, unbounded common-Eense,
straight forwardness, truthfilness,
devotion to his profession and an
uncanny business acumen. He was
a director and Vice-President of the
Dickinson County Bank of this city
and was one of the two surviving
directors at the time of his death
who organized it.
He was staunch supporter of all
progressive movemests and believed
in thorough preparation for any
profession or avocation of life.
This is attested by his educating
his three sons, all of whom have
Inherited degrees from some standard
college or university.
The funeral was conducted in the
Clintwood Baptist Church. The ser.
mon was delivered by Rev. ]. B.
Thomas of Bristol, Tenn, who was
a close personal friend of DR.
Phipps. Rev. Thomas portrayed the
many sterling virtues of his deceas
