Y. i Buffafo, N. Y., Jan. 7—(NEA)—} High up in the Selkirk Mountains of | British Columbia, in the Nakima! Caves, Dr. and Mrs. Carroll Lane Fenton, paleontologists of this city. found what is thought to be the old- est fossil plants known to science. These plants, forerunners of all present-day fruits, grains and vege-/ tables, are algae, and are believed to be about a billion and a quarter years old. They grew in a shallow sea that once covered the entire western part} of the North American continent, ac- cording to the Fentons. They were found on the walls of the caves. Dr. and Mrs. Carroll headed an expedition into the mountainous wilds of British Columbia to explore the caves, which were reached after an arduous climb over the mountains. ‘The caves are formed by a series of caverns up in the Selkirks, in a very unusual way. Mammoth Cave; and other great caves of the Mis- sissippi Valley were formed by un- away the gypsum and limestone that underlie the region, leaving the cav-/| erns. Quake-Formed Caves But the caves in the Canadian Rockies were formed millions of years earlier, by earthquakes that accom-/ panied the uplift of the Selkirk | Mountains.

Similiar to U. S. Fossil The billion and a quarter-year-old seaweed that the Fentons found this | Henrickson of McHenry county, al year in Nakima Cave is similar to fos- sil plants that they found a year ago in Glacier National Park, Montana. There they discovered it on a great slab of rock that had toppled off a mountain onto a glacier. When they located the cliffs from. whence it) came, they were able to trace the; plant for 50 miles in the mountains. | The plant was growing on A pre-/ historic mud crack when it became fossilized. This mud crack is grecn- ish, while the fossil plant is a beau-/ tiful pink color. The contrast is most | striking. Evidently the portion repre- sented by the fossil mud crack had at | some time been lifted up from the! bottom of a shallow sea loug enough to become thoroughly baked by a pre- historic sun. Then it had, in some; way that is peculiar to coastal regions even today, sunk again, and the plants grew upon it. They grew in a narrow line all along the mud crack, but not on either side of it. One plant, a par- ticularly fine colony, with 15 feet inj) diameter. Submit Police Report To City Commission In his monthly report to the board of city commissioners, chief of police, Chris Martineson, lists 808 calls as having been received and answered by the department. According to his report 32 business places were found unlocked at night; 16 accidents reported and investigat- ed; 21 men were lodged in the city jail, overnight; 11 arrests made and 51 letters received and answered. Land Owners Meeting To Be Held in City Informal discussion of the many | problems affecting the large land owner or farm manager in this state will be conducted when the Greater North Dakota association sponsors a: group of county-wide gatherings throughout North Dakota. B. E. Groom, chairman of the agri- cultural committee of the association, is scheduled to meet with local par- ties, and to bring to them reports and recommendations from the third an- nual state land owners’ conference held in Fargo. Cropping programs, forms of leases and sale contracts, raising of grains and livestock on shares, and metnods of financing by which low-producing farms can be brought into line for profitable pro- duction, are among the matters to be discussed. The Burleigh county, gathering is scheduled for Bismarck at 2 p. m., Jan. 10 in the Association of Com- merce rooms. J. P. Wagner is acting as chairman of local arrangements.

Orders for rails, for rail cars, for locomotives, for automobiles, for steamships, for corn products, for hardware, explosives, plumbing and window glass as well as dwindly stocks of once overproduced textiles 1 are demanding the laying-on of erst- while idle hands. Advices from industrial sections, taking no account of construction, revealed in some cases enough factory reemployment to alleviate materially local conditions. Added was the in- start or restart in which no estimate was made of the number of men ex- pected to be employed. Order for four steamships from the Panama Mail company assured two years of work for 3,000 men at Kearny, N. J. The automobile plants in the De- troit area recalled 22,000 men. Two Ford plants reemployed 12,000 and Buick at Flint took back 4,500.

Plan Steel Plate Mill The Inland Steel company an-/ nounced it was negotiating for $4,000,- 000 worth of machinery to equip a projected steel plate mill at Indiana Harbor. Ind., and steel makers in the Youngstown, Ohio, district said the month should bring substantial gains in their operations. Working hours in the plants of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company were increased 20 per cent and Goodyear Rubber re- turned to the eight-hour day. An order for 40 new locomotives for the New York Central railroad as- sured an increase of employment in the Schenectady plant of the Ameri- |can Locomotive company and reports from Seattle, Wash., indicated a dozen new plants of varied industries about to start operation. The Boeing Airplane factory there has @ government contract for 110 planes to be filled in the early part of the year, Increased operation was reported by the Crown Manufacturing com- pany cotton mills at Dalton, Ga., and by Cluett, Peabody & Co., with shirt mills running at full capacity at At- lanta and Bremen, Ga., textile mills throughout Alabama announced they expected ‘to reach capacity produc- tion sometime during January and all of them were recalling their forcés. ‘WAR VETERAN DIES Minneapolis, Jan. 7.—()—Edward Sullivan, 42, died suddenly from heart disease. He was a veteran of the World war and had been a patient at the Fort Snelling Veterans’ Bureau hospital various times since coming to Minneapolis from Fargo about 10 years ago. He was a salesman. Left are his widow, a daughter, his mother, a brother and three sisters. The body will be taken to Fargo Wednesday for burial. ‘SPREAD IN PRICES MAY MAKE IMPORT OF WHEAT PAYING Difference in Foreign and Do-| mestic Levels May Exceed 42-Cent Protection | i St. Paul, Jan. 7.—If the spread in| wheat prices between the American and foreign markets continues to in- crease in the next few weeks has in the past, several prices would be at levels so that the import of wheat would be practical in spite of the tariff of 42 cents a bushel, the Farmers Cnion says in its weekly re- view of agricultural conditions. “Such a development is not likely, however,” the review says. “This is especially so since it appears likely are to be stabilized at minimum levels. The price of wheat in Amer- ica has been maintained at the pres- ent levels principally through the buying by the federal farm ard. The holdings of the Grain Stabiliza- tion corporation, subsidiary of the Farm Board, are reported to be well above 100,000,000 bushels and the ex- portable surplus of American wheat ‘has been largely taken care of, | though how it is to be disposed of still is a question. “Where the Federal Farm Board was severely criticized a year ago for maintaining wheat prices at pegged 'levels of $1.20 and $1.25 @ bushel, millers, bankers and business inter- ests of the nation are practically unanimous in praising the policy of the farm board in not permitting wheat prices to drop below around 70 cents a bushel. With prices on the farms at from 45 to 50 cents a bushel for high quality wheat, there is little or no eriticism. The American wheat producer cannot hope to make a liv- ing by producing grain at prices fixed by world competition with such countries as Russia, where a farmer is paid about 17 cents a day, unless wages of other labor would be sim- ilarly reduced. If the American standard of living is to be main- tained, this would be impossible. “In a recent reply to a charge that the Farm Board could lower or raise the price of wheat at will, Chairman Alexander Legge vigorously denied the charge. He pointed to the fact that wheat prices have been main- tained for weeks at 25 to 30 cents above world levels, and .«ssured farm- ers that these prices are to be main- tained for some time to come.

The city of Park River is furnish- ing the town hall as a place for the recreation rooms and is to provide heat and light, and the Civic club and American Legion are furnishing the money for the purchase of equip- ment, and are paying the salary of Mr, Edgar White, who has been em- ployed to act as secretary and gener- al manager for the club. The board of governors, composed of two students from the Agricultural and Training school, and two students from the Park River high school have been named to work with Mr. White in arranging tournaments, games and to inave general charge of the club. The students named for this committee ate Harold Hanggi, Calvin and Roy Geiger, Cavalier, to represent the Walsh County Agricultural and Training school, and Edwin Herwick and Clinton Arnot, Park River, to represent the Park River high school. The.club rooms will be kept open each week day between the hours of 4:00 and 9:45, and will be open too all boys of the two schools who hold membership cards in the club, These cards are issued to the boys free-of- charge, subject only to repeal through the violation of rules drawn up for the management of the club. The plan for the club was worked out by a committee named sometime ago by President William McEachern of the Park River Civic club. It was composed of E. J. Taintor, C. P. O'Brien and Dr. F. E. Weed. This Committee worked in cooperation with a committee from the Paul Farup Post of the American Legion, com- Posed of J. A. Halberg, Clifford Over- bye, and Albert Luetjen, with the mayor of Park River, J. D. Robertson, and with committees of the various churches of the city. ees MAY PAY NORSE CLAIM Washington, Jan. 7.—()—Because of the curlosity of the coast guard in looking for rum it looks as if Uncle Sam will pay Norway $8,765.
