Mr.. Goodrich remarked today, that
southern Juab county, and southwest.

the most extensive kinds. The fossils
are almost entirely cretaceous and pis-
catorial. and Of a great variety both

monster of great length, and evidently
worthy OF considerable study. The re-
mains OF the great saurians are more
plentiful over near Mancos Colorado,
and there has been considerable ex-
plotting in that section by sayants
The cretaceous deposits lie IN great
beds near the San Juan river and could
be easily utilized for macadamizlng the

inequalities seem to be content with six
inches OF sand In lieu OF macadam or
paving OF any kind. However, on the

the place Of human hands In every de-
partment Of industry. and has i'm.
mensely increased the productive Gu
paclty Of the artisan. On the farm. too.
TIE same rule controls. The modern
binoers have superseded the old. slow
methods OF the harvest. and made the
great grain fields a possibility. To the
effective use Of machinery on the farm
Is due the great exporting capacity OF
the country. and in every avocatlon In
life 1t Is the man behind the machine
that Is moving civilization forward.
Brain power Is taking the place OF
human muscle. and the result Is an ele-
yation Of the farmer to a higher plane.
requiring the application Of business
methods to agriculture. The inevita-
ble tendency Of the increased use of
machinery on the farm Is the increase
In acreage In the hands Of one man.
since tic machines make extensive cul-
ture possible over larger areas. The
more effective the machines are made
the wider scope they will need. and
great farms. conducted on wise bust.
ness methods. will become more and
more common as men realize the pos
abilities OF such culture. The great
accumulations Of capital will not nj
ways be kept out Of the farm. for the
capitalists will come to see what
money will co in businesslike farming
It Is the age Of tools and machinery
and the farm must keep W with the
