BANANAS ONCE
GREW in MONTANA
WIN. M. BROWN, MEMBER OF.
AMERICAN PREHISTORIC So
GETTY GIVES INTERESTING Ac-
COUNT OF REMARKABLE FINDS
IN THE STATE NEXT WEST.

VIM. NJ Brown, member of the
American Prehistoric society of New
York city, was a visitor to Fargo yes
,terday while he was waiting for a
train and he gave The Forum an in
terestIng account of his work Said
he:
I'VE have been finding the region
about Glasgow, Mont. a most fertile
field for our explorations and some of
the finds have been very valuable.
1T may surprise you to know that
bananas once grew in the great state
of Montana, yet such is undoubtedly
the case. 1t may have been millions
of years ago, but certain it is we have
found imprints of the leaves as well
as inrprints Of the trees themselves
in the rocks with which that region
abounds. Here is another remarkable
thing said he. There is a tree that
is peculiar to China and so far as we
can learn it does not exist elsewhere
yet we have found remains of that
tree in the territory about Glasgow
and are just as certain as we can be
that the tree at one time existed in
that part of he country which is now
he state of Montana.
1--WE have been shipping whole
carload of the bones of prehistoric
animals back to New York. They
were found in this same locality which
appears to be filed with just such
relics of bygone ages. Just why all
these animals, plants, trees, etc ,
should have decided to use that section
sp
Of conjecture only, and we can only
believe that Montana was at one time
very much warmer country than
now.
How long ago did these animals
exist? you ask. Wei, that is hard TO
tell, but It must have taken millions
of years for Montana and this section
to have reached the cold stage it has
now.
81 think it was in 1908 that we
shipped q carload of prehistoric ami
NAL bones from Glasgow. There was
one tusk in the lot that measured
seventeen inches in length and fully
half a foot across. In the same car
were the hips and legs of another
animal, that weighed 1920 pounds.
The taking out of these relics re-
quires the greatest of care. As soon
as they are unearthed we are obliged
to shellac them for almost in minute
they would crumble to dust in the
aid. We do this with everything we
find, with the exception of the petri-
factions. In the case Of the banana
tree specimens that we found did the
same thing, for wood, like the bones
of the animals, would all go the same
way.
1T may sound strange to you, but
II is a fact that / can generally tell
by the surface of the ground whether
we will find anything underneath 1t
in the way the prehistoric bones or
other relics. OF course I sometimes
am mistaken, but at my suggestion
the digging is done, and if we do not
find what we expect there is little
harm done. 1t is a very interesting
work. not only to those who are pur
suing it, but to the public in general"
Mr.. Brown expects to return to
Glasgow in the summer and again
pursue his labors. He is said to be the
best posted man in the country in
his business.

A Light MONTH
FOR THE POLICE
DECEMBER, 1910, WAS ONE OF THE
LIeHTEsT MONTHS THAT THE
LOCAL POLICE HAVE HAD IN
YEARs-A LARGE NUMBER OF
LODGINGS FURNISHED.

December, 1910, was one of the light
est months that the Fargo police de-
partment has had for many months,
according to the report of Desk Ser
geant Fred Bowers. Only sixty-one
arrests We're made during the month.
OF special notice in the report is the
large number of lodgings that have
been furnished by the department.
There have been sixty six persons given
place to spend the night during the
last month, while in December. 1903.
there We're but twenty-six people who
applied for lodgings at the police sta
ton.
The cash returns through che court
of the police department are, however,
much larger than last year during the
same month. December, 1909. the po-
lice court received $6S in fines. while
during the last month the court took
in $3.50 in fines.
During the month Just closed the
police have recovered 1855 worth OF
stolen property, street lamps have been
reported out for 191 hours, and an
other good work the department has
done was to feed 1870 meals to needy
people other than prisoners.
Drunks and Migrants have run a
close race for honors in arrests The
Migrants arrested number seventeen
while the DRINKS go one better, being
eighteen in number. Two men have
been captured for burglary and eight
have been placed under arrest for dis
orderly conduct, A long list of mis-
demeanors were the causes of the other
arrests made by the members of the
department curing the month.

The TOWER CITY
SCHOOL LANDS
CASE BEING HEARD IN THE DIS
TRIcT COURT TODAY WHICH
ASKS FOR THE RELEASE or
SCHOOL LANDS ATTACHED TO
THE TOWER CITY DISTRICT.

The civil suit OF school district No.
"a of Cass county. against w. w King
and others OF Tower City, is being
tried in the district court today before
Judge Pollock. The case is one where
the plaintiff asks for the release of
certain school lands in this district
which have been attached by the Tow
er City school district.
John Schmitz is the principal wit
ness for the plaintiff and part of his
land has for a number of years been
located in school district No. "a, but
recently has been attached to the
Tower City school district. Tower
City in her efforts to build a new $40, :
900 school building has attached some
land for taxation which lies in the
territory of the complaining school
district, and Schmitz is one Of the
land owners whose property has been
transferred from one school district to
another.
School district No. ga does not want
to be, attached to, nor absorbed by,
the Tower City school district. The
patrons of the country school district
is too far for their children to attend
the town school. They again have
good schools and excellent teachers in
No. "a, and the patrons of the dis
trict cannot see where they will be
benefited by any such move as join
ing with Tower City.
Tower City residents, who are rep
resented by w. w. King of their
school board, claim the right to attach
certain lands for taxation in their dis
trict under certain conditions, such as
building a new building. They fur
Their maintain that with the joining
of the two districts much better and
higher class school would be main
tanned than either district now affords.
District No. 81 is being represented
by Atty. M A. Hildreth and the at
torneys for the defense are A. A.
Twichell, L, L. Twichell and STAN
baugh & Fowler The hearing will
probably continue tomorrow morning.

MICHIGAN HAS
A FIERCE FIRE
CITY HALL AND METHODIST
CHURCH WE'RE BURNED TO
THE GROUND.

Michigan. n. D., Jan. 5.-Michlgah
was the scene of a disastrous fire When
the CITY hall. in which was located tne
fire department and operahouse' anu
the Methodist church were burned TO
the ground. The fire started In the
fire hall from some unknown Origin
and handicapped by lack of fire hght-
ing apparatus, the department and citl-
zens generally waged hard fougIit
battle with the flames, managing 70
save the surrounding buildings a
brisk wind would have meant the tocal
destruction of an entire block In the
center of the city. The loss on the
city hall is $4,000, with insurance OF
about $4,000, and $500 insurance on the
apparatus The loss on the Methoolst
church is from $500 to $4,000, partly
insured
The fire was discovered shortly be-
fore midnight and after strenuous
efforts the volunteer firemen were sue
cessful in saving the fire engine the
hose and other equipment, however
was burned and this rendered the en-
CINE practically useless for sighting
the fire. Hose was secured, however,
and a hose line laid from the Great
Northern water tank. This and the
usual bucket equipment was all the
citizens had to combat the blaze and
the work was rendered especially dff-
ficult because of the cold weather,
Local thermometers showed tenn
perature of 80 degrees below zero.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Chicago. Ill, Jan. S.--Wheat: The
market opened strong and nearly !
lcenr higher and continued to rule
firm throughout the session. The buy
ing was largely by the leading local
bun interests. with stress being laid
on the low temperatures in the south
west and no snow protection. The
southwest wires us that the weather
conditions did not seem to bring In
any new speculative buying. NO Inn
provement was noted in the cash de-
mand locally. AS far as we can see
today's advance was based purely on
speculative sentiment rather than on
any change in the legitimate condi-
tions surrounding the worlds posi-
ton, and as long as this continues
the case, we cannot advise our friends
TO buy wheat.
