One of the most important discoveries Hurrlngton made, said Heye, was that the giants burled their dead under the floors of houses, which apparently were abandoned after the interment.

"Beyond the Border" the hew Harry Carey picture which is the feature Sunday and Monday at the Princess, and delighted a large audience last night at its premiere, gives you a first hand look at a local election with all riotings, drinking, shooting and whatnot.

No one who has ever lived In a Main street town will gainsay that this scene as it appears in the Hunt Stromberg production is a faithful re-1 production of an election in a typical one horse town. But this scene Is only one instance in which the stirring action drama attains verity.

The vast unknown regions of the arctic will be explored this summer with naval aircraft by navy pilots, but not as a government project. The attempt, at observing the uncharted area ot more than l.Oon.OUO square miles lying between Alaska and (lie north pole, viicre "coutir-ent may exist, will bo made in connection with an expedition beaded by Donald MacMillan. the explorer, who will return for the ninth lime to hi3 favorite haunts of i-e and snow on a ship leaving WMscasset, about June ir. The plan has been approved by Secretary Wilbur and indorsed by President Coolidge. The exploration also will have the backing of the National Geographic Society, which has voted, eto contribute towari; financing it.

The naval officers who will accoru-; pany Mr. MacMillan will be granttd cxttnded leave, as has the case in previous polar explorations and tho entire party will have a private stut-' us, notwithstanding that Mr. Mac-Miiliiti is a lieutenant coiir.iiaiidor in the naval reserve force. Differs from Shenandoah Plan. Li this respect the exploration will differ from that projected for the tlir-, Iribla Shenandoah last year, but abandoned.

Under that plan, the Shenandoah was to leave from Alaska and proceed over the same unknown region, aiid possibly to the pole. This flight was unuudoned when President Coolidge took the position that in view of the expense involved, he would not authorize it without the approval of congress, and the latter failed to take any action In the matter. For the MacMillan expedition two planes of the amphibian type will be 3'Ji'plied and the personnel for I hem will be selected from volimters in the navy aviation service. Although details have not been completed, at least three officrs and two or three mechanics will be accepted for the trip, one of whom will be Lieutenant Commander It. W.

Bird, now with the navy bureau of aeronautics here, who will be in charge. Already twenty-four naval officers, jix marine corps officers, tdeveu navy enlisted men and two marine corps enlisted men have offered themaelven is pilot or aviation mechanics for the attempt. The plants which the navy probably will auk the army air service to provide, because naval machines of tho type now under construction will be completed in time, will be of the Lnening type, and will hae a cruising range of more than 1,000 miles, with a speed of more than miles an hour. Mr. MacMillan believes more can he accomplished with the in in arctic expeditious than hns been done In the last century.

Another plan, advocated by the auditor Is to construct two additions to the building itself, one ot which would be on the east side and the other on the 1 i The problem for the commissioners to decide is whether thu county needs' a larger court house and then to ask the County council to make the neces-1 sary appropriation for Its construe-! tion.

COmlng 'The 5th Horseman' Prehistoric Indian Town 2,500 Years Old Found in Nevada. St. Thomas, Nev. Cleopatra and Mark Antony were currying on the most notorious love affair of the ages, beneath the Kgyptlan moon, while thousands of miles away in what is now Nevada, a feather-bedecked Pueblo chieftain, seven feet tall, wns wooing a bronze-skinned maiden in the lost city of Pueblo Grande. This Is evidenced by excavations being carried on in the muddy and virgin river valleys nnr here, which show that Pueblo Grande was ttie largest blngle prehistoric settlement ever found on the western hemisphere.

Culture had not found its way Into He barbaric cltyless countries to the north of the Italian peninsula, and Christianity was unheard of at the time the ancient Piutes of Nevada were worshiping the sun. They shaped graceful urns embellished with colored geometric designs, weaved rugs of feathers, wool and fur, cultivated corn and spun threads of silk made from a then common desert shrub. They were wearing tunics after the fashion of enrly Greece, living in orderly, well-planned cities and writing history. Unearth Layers of City. Indications are that human beings had been living In Pueblo Grairartor centuries, for the expedition from (lie Museum of the American Indian, headed by M.

R. Harrington, widely known anthropologist and nrcheologist, is finding strata upon strata, each layer denoting a certain well-defined period In the ancient civilization of America. Exploration has been going on for months, but only recently, according to Mr. Harrington, has excavation uncovered almost incontrovertible evidence that the once lost city will prove to be the largest prehistoric ruin of the western hemisphere. Big, sturdy round adobe buildings, some containing as many as twenty rooms, with hard-glazed floors, have been excavated, revealing under their circular- courtyards the graves of a vanished race, with the average height skeletons found to measure over seven feet.

A woman wrapped In a feathered blanket was found In One circular burial place, with a set of new-born twins buried with her. In muny mounds already unearthed Mr. Harrington has found beautiful shell jewelry, artistically cut beads and decorated pottery of fanciful design, in addition to quantities of crude hunting implements and other primitive tools. Several sets of perfectly formed dice, some with the corners rounded; were discovered In clay urns. Indicating a fondness of this race for the thrills of gambling.

Evidence that class distinction prevailed among the vanquished Nevada race was furnished when It was observed some of the giant skeletons were found to have far more objects of art surrounding them than the average burial mound contained. In the unearthing of this, lost city, which was eight miles wide and which extended thirty-five miles to the south, has been found proof that the once thriving metropolis was from 2,000 to 2,500 years old. Harrington said: City 2.500 Years Old. "The corrugated and painted pottery alone would be enough to Identify the vanished race as Pueblo Indians, and then when to that Is added their home building, agriculture nnd use of turquoise and stone griddles such as the modern Pueblos use to cook their famous water bread, there can be no doubt that prehistoric Pueblo Indians dwelt In Pueblo Grande. "The bottom has not been reached yet.

Heavy erosion In the ruins indicate that Pueblo Grande was prehistoric. That houses here were occupied for perhaps centuries Is shown by deep beds of ashes In numerous fireplaces. "We have found countless fragments of flint and pottery and evidences that the houses of Pueblo Grande had been remodeled again and again. The scarcest article Is a coiled basket nnd some sandal reed work which has to be Immersed In melted wax to prevent disintegration. Race of Giants.

"This vanished race were giants, as skeletons1 measure over seven feet In height. What became of then) Is a mystery. Like the pigmy cWTdwellers of the South, they have vanished." One theory explaining the extinction of the giant Pueblos, according to Harrington, Is the progressive drying up of the country. The Indians could no longer, get sufficient water for their crops and they perished. The wind of the desert eroded their dwellings.

Weeds grew in their gardens, temples caved In, and the relentless desert sand drifted In and covered the whole city, burying all evidence of a once great race and keeping the secret locked in the depths for centuries. Equal to Tut'e Tomb. Officials of the Museum of the American Indian In New York declared that the finding of the lost city in Nevada Is as Important to America as the excavations of Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb are to Europe.
