number of rusted old-fashioned
muskets In a cavo north of Iiruce

The skeletons w-ore lying by the

ami until he found litem A. B. Fra
ser, the prospector, believed lie
was the discoverer of the lake.

WINS AIR RACE
FALL FOR YANKEE
' CHICAGO. Auc. 20. (JP) Mem
bers of the British Walker cup!
( team, who are entered in the west- J
ern amateur championship at the j
Bob o'ltnk elub this week, have ;
. contracted the American fever of
; betting on golf.
. During yesterday's practice
! round, two American opponents
suggested the two Britons play
i them for five dollars on each nhm
I holes and another five dollar for
the IK. The Kuglishmen were as
tonished and exclaimed:
! "Why, that's more than a pound
j of sterling."
! Their return proposal was they
i play for a dollar for the entire IK
hole round with no bets on the
single nines, but later they caught
the fever and were betting a dol
lar a hole on tho practice green.
But no money changed hands.
Major C. O. llalet shouted to
T. Perkins as the latter went
to tho first tec to play a round:
"By Jove, Berky. old top, I owe
you seven dollars!"
"Quite so, quite so. hut let it go,"
replied the British champion as
he smote a drive 270 yards down
the fairway. And that was all
there was to it as far as could
bo learned.
El
j Possibly for the first time in the
history of highway building a pro-
posed road-the ran American
j route is being considered not only
jas a means of moving traffic, but
I as a guide and emergency landing
I field for aviators and for promot
i ing international good will.
! This statement was issued today
; at national headquarters uf tho
i American Automobile association,
which has consistently supported
this project nmt encouraged high
way building lu foreign lands,
i The A. A. A. points out that con
1 gress has already provided for
I American participation in the Fan
American Congress of Highways,
(which will meet in Hio do Janeiro
i In July 11129, and a definite jtro
; gram for connecting up tho Latin
I American countries, tho United
States and Canada, with "n broad
paved highway, will in all . prob
j ability be adopted at this session.
! "Uuildihg of sueh a highway,"
!say8 the national motoring body,
! "will be perhaps the most impor
tant physical step ever taken hy a
1 group of nations to promote nui
Itual understanding, encou rage
i travel und to bring about an inter-
mingling of national ideas with re
jsultant benefit to all the countries,
.involved.
j "Recently there has been made 1
i public the report of the committee
ion foreign affairs of the house of
1 representatives dealing with H. .1. i
i Hos. 25! which authorizes assis- ;
tn nee in the construction of the
proposed highway." This report
i follows in part:
l "Tho construction of the pro
posed highway, or highways for
itbey will naturally radiate in sev
jernl directions, especially In South
j America may seem like some
thing dreamed of, hut without h
i doubt this d renin, vast as it is, will
: some day be realized. We even
'hope that it may not be long do
' furred. There Is both Tan Ameri
can sentiment In favor of it and
an economic demand for it.
".Many years ago James (I.
Klaine, conspicuously, proposed a
'similar project in the form of a
Pan AmericHii railroad. Hut at
; the present, time the world Is
thinking in terms of automobiles
and motor trucks, which have in
pa rt at least su perseded rai Irond
1 transportation, und so the big
international project now natural
ly takes i he form of a highway for
such new forms of transportation.
"Not only will this highway be
used for automobiles und motor
: trucks but it' will serve those who
in the future will travel and trims
port matter by air routes. With
this purpose In mind the proposed
'highway will be of such, width
'that It will fit miv nnlnl nnd ut unv
lime afford landings for airplanes
that may bo compelled to deecend
for safety. It will also serve us a
marker, for those .who travel hy
air. Recently Col. Charles A.
