The length of the walls in cu-
bits, thirty, tel's who the central
figure Is buried there and the
angle of both wall and pyramid,
tiftejn degreed, and forty out
minutes west of north, tells us
the works were laid 5,000 yean-
ago when Dragon was the north
star. 'Jhe works at Chrysta
City and Greenville, Miss., and
Hopeton and Circleville, Ohio,
are built at the same angle
The Dragon star ceased to be
the north star 2170 B. C. ft had
traveled two far northeast, but
this is too misty for the masset
to understand.
The pyramid is divided into
halves by a line running west ol
north, the same as the wall. A
tier four feet in height was built
on the west half, then on the
east half alternately. The west
half had been completed and
beginning at the south end ol
the east terrace they had hur-
ried the dead to some thirty feet
north when interments suddenly
ceased. Was it a flood"
They burnt the caskets in
place as shown by the burnt dirt
tnd soot adjoining the caskets
I uncovered several bushels ol
buitmen collected to burn a eas
«et but something happened to
stop it It was certainly ages in
building. A royal tomb and only
families of the first rank were
ouried in it. Of the forty-two
smaller we would naturally con
.dude them to be tombs of patri
irehs and families for genera
t.ions.
There is not an acre in the
Delta but shows ancient occupa-
tion. In cotton fields, forests,
canebreaks and swamps are re-
mains of old cities. It must
have once been a vast garden
densely populated. The empire
of Atlantis was :!4l' miles east
and west, comprising 6000 sec
lions. The levy for the army
and navy was 1,250,000, twenty
two men to the section. This in-
dicates a population of (500 peri
square mile which Plato calls
very dense.
To guard against being mis
taken 1 described places and con-
li lions that would be there that
[ never had heard of only as I
learned it from the Atlantis of
Plato At Valley Park I told
them there was a ridge thrown
up along the east bank of a cres-
cent shaped harbor (bayou)
Hie dirt to make the ridge was
taken from the harbor, that the
ridge was cut by a narrow canal
connecting the harbor with a
smaller one on the west 1500 feet
from the first harbor which was
1200 feet wide, and that the
ridge should extend from one
harbor to another. When I de-
scribed this tn the cit'zens of
Valley Park I knew no more
about it than a citizen of Calcutta
>r Pekin only as I had read it in
'he old Greek and I could hardly
believe them when they t >ld me
it was exactly as I described it.
md they could not help but
think I had been over it. They
took me out to it and crossed the
1200 foot harbor in a boat which
'anded us in the crescent cut and
vou easily <ru ss that I wh«
stumped. For lack of money 1
could not look over all of it
We bored for the rock walls of
the temple foundations and
found pieces of the red and white
rock of which the walls were
built. The bayou is thirty feet
wide as described by Plato
Steels'intake of water is seven-
five miles up the Mississippi
above Greenville. I knew the
west of north of the old works
ought to be 15 degrees before I
knew how thew were built, if I
was right. I found them to be
so. I could name a dozen crucial
tests so I know I cannot be
wrong.
When you have more money to
spend instead of going to Texas
go whore you can see something,
vour parents' tombs, take a
drink from the cold spring and
hath in the warm one, they are
only fifty feet apart. Sit and
dream of davs gone by on your
parents old home place tiie
mound -and look at the old
mounds with caskets and bones
strewed thick on the ground.

HOLD A HIGHER STANDARD
In Your Public, Business or Pri-
vate Life Than Your
Fellows
Probably no man in all history
has enjoyed such a universal and
singular triumph as has The
dore Koosefelt who has been
welcomed home by his fellow
citizens. And his has not been
die triumph of a conquoring
hero. To see a private citizen
enjoy such homage from kings
tnd rulers is indeed a singular
phenomenon. Both friends and
•nemies have given causes but to
my mind the real cause lie has
given himself in these words:
"The man is not a good christain
who in his business dealing fails
to remember that it is incum
bent upon him to hold a higher
standard than his fellows; that
it is incumbent upon him if he is
a rich man, to make it evident
alike in the way he earns and the
way he spends his fortunes; that
the word of the Lord is to him. a
living truth and not a dead
doctrine And, of course, what
I say applies even more strongly
to the man in public life than to
the man in business or private
life. The nominal character,
the man who has attended to all
the outward observances of
Christianity, no matter with
what scrupulous care, whenever ■
'heless embozzles trust funds, is
more, not less, to blame or un
worthy than if he had never
made profession of belief We
•annot continue as a republic, we
cannot rise to any true level of
greatness unless that greatness
based upon and conditioned
by a high and brave type of
spiritual life." C. C. B.
II. L Miles announces in this
issue of the clippek as a candi
date for the nomination for re
election to the office of county
commissioner, subject to the de-
cision of the Republican pri-
maries August 2nd. Mr. Miles
who has resided in Oklahoma for
more than twenty-one years, is
so well known to the voters of
the second district <>f Kingfisher
county that he needs no further
introduction. During the past
three years Mr Miles has made
good as a county commissioner
As chairman of the county board
of commissioners, together with
the other two commissioners, he
has harnjoninuslv, honestly and
judiciously handled the business
affairs of the county. The pro-
ceedings of the board have been
published monthly and the re-
cord of Mr. Miles has always
been open for investigation and
above criticism. If re-el cted
Mr. Miles will contine to work
for the best interests of the
county as he has done in the past.

We hope the city council, at
their next meeting will take
steps to have the weeds growing
in the streets and alleys cut. By
the heavy growth of weeds ti e
streets have a "haggledepelter"
appearance and they are also a
menace to healthful conditions.
