DR.. Cummings reports that the

the slope of q hill.-
1t was judged that the age of
the ruins was at least 1000 years
from the weathering Of the walls
and the types of she'll ornaments
and pottery at the ruins. This
would place the ruins at q period
at least contemporaneous with
and possible antedating the Casa

In speaking of the ruins, DR..
Cummings said: The ruins pre-
sent q particularly rich field for
archaeological researches and
excavations. and it is my hope
that details will come to light
that will add much to our know
ledge of the culture of the pre-
historic peoples of the Santa

The ruins were located by &C

edges of the wall along the road.

He Immediately mortified Doctor
Cummings and turned his find
ing over to the Arizona State
Museum of which Dr.. Cummings
is executive head.
The pottery discovered at the
ruins is of both the plain reddish
brown ware and the red on buff
ware. Precise information as to
its age may be forthcoming from
DR.. A. E. Douglas, director of
the Steward observatory at the
University Of Arizona. Doctor
Douglas. internationally famous
for his recent tree ring discov
cries, will study the beams and
timbers of the ruin.
The ruins are situated some
forty miles from Tucson on the
Nogales highway. The exact
location is four and a half miles
south of the Tumacacori mission.
They are just off the highway
on the west side of the road.

PLACING SIGNS AND
RAILS ON TROY ROAD

That he has had a road crew under
Supervisor Ford at work the past week
erecting turnout and other safety
signs and placing logs along the outer
side of the roadway where it is narrow
and dangerous was reported by Coun-
ty Commissioner George J. Monio of
Troy while in Libby the first of the
week at the regular monthly session Of
the county commissioners. Other work
will be done at the same time, said Mr..
Monio, to improve this highway over
which so much travel-both local and
tourist-has to pass, although it will
be impossible to do as much work as
should be done because of the dry
ness of the soil The placing of the
signs and the logs will add to the
safety of this rather bad highway in
no small degree and win remove much
of the fear from tourists passing over
it.
Mr. Monio has also been doing some
very good work on the Bull lake road
which has greatly improved that high
way. This road also has considerable
traffic over it. to and from the Noxor
district

In Airplar,c Crash.

Floyd Shipman Of Spokane was in
Libby the first of the week on his way
to Kalispell after a rather unsuccess-
full attempt to reach that city by air
plane. According to reports Shimnan
was in hurry to reach the Flathead
metropolis and chartered a plane in
Spokane to deliver him in an hour and
some odd minutes in Kalispell The
aviator was unacquainted with this dis
trict and became somewhat confused
regarding landmarks, it is said After
circling over FlathAsd lake he later
found himself in the Troy district win
gas running low and a forced landing
necessary This he negotiated without
injury to anyone but with more or less
damage to the plane, it is reported
Shipman was obliged to continue the
trip by auto.

Says Kalspeu
Spreading False
Road Reports

That parties In Kalispell are spread
ing very exaggerated and false reports
regarding the roads in this district is
the word brought to Libby by E. W..
Oylear after visit to that city He was
there recently and made investigation
and found that the almost universal
practice in Kalispell is to discourage
tourists from coming this way, prefer
ring to route them over the Plains and
Thompson Falls highway.
Three cars from California stopped
at the Libby Motor garage one day
the past week and reported they had
been advised at Kalispell that the Lib
by-Kalispell highway was absolutely
impossible, that ruts in the road were
so deep their cars would be hung up
by the axles riding on the ground.
1t is difficult to imagine why anyone
would be SO unfair as to spread such
reports SO completely and wholly false.
The Libby Kalispell road is being
travelled daily by any number Of tour
lists and local people and they find it
in very good condition. As convincing
proof that such reports are wholly un-
true, it is only necessary to cite the
fact that last week E. p. Woodwork
and Jas. Fitch drove over this road
from Kalispel to Libby in two and a
half hours, distance of SO miles. This
and much other evidence ought to in
duce the Kalispell men to revise the
erroneous reports they are spreading

Fights Grizzly Bear

Kalispell Monitor William Reimer,
who was attacked Friday night by a
grizzly bear while locating fire In
the North Fork country, will be able
to return to work within few days,
but is now recuperating from his un-
usual experience.

the Ford ranger station in the North
Fork, left the station between IL and
IL o'clock Friday night to locate fire
which had been reported by look

rest for moment He heard crash
in the brush and saw grizzly bear
coming toward him and turned to run
from it but was overtaken by the ami
NAL which struck him, first across the
back and then on the hip, the first
blow wrenched his revolver to the mid
die of his back where he was unable
to reach it. Reimer was then knocked
to the ground as the grizzly attacked
his left leg.
As he tried to kick at the animal il
took the toe of one Of his shoes be-
tween its teeth and reared upon its
hind legs, holding him dangling in
the air entirely off the ground, shaking
him about in suspended position a
he struggled for grip on the 32-a
revolver at his waist. Still suspended
from the mouth of the grizzly, with hi.
head down, he poured five shots int
the bears stomach with no apparent ef-
feet, but the sixth and last shot causet
the animal enough discomfort to drol
him and 60 running toward a rocl
where it disappeared.

and rock. Walking and crawling 70
