At the time of the discovery of the deposits a careful investigation was made by Chester K. Wentworth of the geological survey. Mr. Wentworth declared the tree stumps and trunks and other woody deposits to be the remams of a forest that existed on an anclent swamp during the IYieistocene age, estimated to have been from 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. His opinion remained unchallenged for a_ few weeks, until specimens from the “ancient forest” forestry service of the of_Agriculture. The gentlemen of the latter office thrashed out be- | when they wers cut down, were thrown {nto an excavation on the site of the present Walker IHotel. Last fall the steam shovels revealed these trees. Their size and appear- ance and the fact that they were apparanently cotemporaneous | déposits of fine clay and pebbles led the geological survey to hold that I they “were laid down during or just befure the gipclal epoch. The geolog- |fcal “survey' made its conclusions | known, but the forestry service has never publicly announced its counter deductions, Those who have heen investigating the entire matter will discuss it at ical socfety. Experts of the geological survey will try to prove the deposits to be very anclent—before the ap- pearance of man on the American continent. They have several inter- esting points to make in support of their contentlon, among them the dis- covery of a small moss-like plant with the tree stumps which they de- e | clare is only found in deposits from the Pleistocene auge.
