Prof. w. H. Reed, jaleontologist OF
the University of Wyoming and cura-
tor of the museum Of natural history
Gently from Natrona county, Wyo., is
now at work preparing for classified
tion and exhibition the paleontologi-
cal specimens he will add to the mu-
scum this year. says the Wyoming
School Journal. The find was one OF
the most important ever made by Mr..
Reed, and, in fact, one of the most
important ever reported to the sci
ence. He secured at least one speci-
men new to geology and confirmed
the surmise heretofore held that Wy
oming was the birthplace of the
horse.
He discovered and has in his pos
session an almost complete skeleton
of the horse, showing that animal to
have been in that distant age no
larger than a fox Of the present day,
but with every bone of the present
horse and in much the same shapes.
The animal was evidently a hardy
grazer, capable of good deal of
hardship in securing its food and
with a fleetness Of foot that made 1t
secure from the attacks of flesh-eat-
Ing animals to considerable extent.
Only One In Existence.
Prof. Reed attaches most import
ance, however, to the fossil skull OF
beaver. This fossil is from the ALI
gocene tertiary age, one of the Oldest
In which fossils are found here, and
shows that the animal flourished at
that early perion in the earth's ex-
istence. The specimen is the perfect
skull and the upper Jaw of this ro-
dent. 1t is Enthusiastically that of a
beaver, as none of the other rodents
have four molars on each side, 9TH
ers having three, five or more.
There is the fossil of a couple of
incisors, again marking the beaver.
One remarkable fact about the skull
Is the size. showing that the animal
In life was smaller than an ordinary
mouse, the skull being less than half
an eighth of an inch long and the
remains Of the incisors not much
an inch long, the motors being about
longer.
Fossil of a Weasel.
Another fossil from the same local.
ity Is that Of weasel. This is not so
rare as the beaver, annd Mr. Reed is
not suit that II had not been describ-
ed In the text books. The beaver
he is sure has not he feeIa oonf fdart
that he has the only skull of that
age. The weasel was perhaps about
the size Of the weasel of the present
lay, the portion of the skull he has
showing many Of the characteristics
Of the cousin Of the animal Of the
present era.
Skeleton Of Dog.
Mr.. Reed was fortunate enough te
secure the complete skeleton of a

AFTER INLAND EMPIRE TRADE.
Seattle Business Men Coming Out to
Get Acquainted.


Get Acquainted.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
The business men of Seattle are
manifesting keen interest in the ex-
cursion to be given under the auspi-
ces of the Chamber of Commerce in
to eastern Washington and Idaho. An
excellent itinerary has been marked
out and the indications are that a
thoroughly representative body of men
will go out from this city.
Trips of this character are of great
value. They put the seller in closer
touch with the buyer, promote more
friendly feeling and a better under
standing generally.
Many important centers will be vis-
tied by the business men of Seattle,
who will take advantage of the ex-
cursion arranged by the Chamber Of
Commerce and the trip cannot fail to
prove a real benefit to them in many
ways. 1t will help Seattle, too, in
other ways, for 1t will show the real
interest of this city in the welfare and
section which is doing so much to
make this city supreme and con-
trolling factor in the commerce of the
Pacific.
There is no richer section in this
country than that through which the
business men Of Seattle will pass The
trip will do them good and should
prove helpful in every way. The indl-
cations are that every interest in this
city will be represented and that the
delegation will fairly represent, as 1t
should, the pluck, pride and progress
of Seattle.
