GERMANS 50 MILES FROM PARIS

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The allies are now desperately battling prevent the success O the German assault on the upDer Disc river at spot which is only fifty miles from the city of Paris The battle ragged all Sunday and Monday with frightfu intensity and the Germans by sheer weight of numbers succeeded in crowdg the brl- sh army backward slightly The British troops fight ing with glorious SteadfastneSS although the casualties must have been very severe.
 The German advance is becoming increasingly difficult owing to the natural features of the country and the ari cal defenSeS erected by allied armies as they fall back from point to point The allies playing for tune hoping that the power of the German onslaught will de- crease as the troops become exhausted.
 The struggle be compared to nothing else so well as the meeting of two mountains moving against each other The tremendous numbers engaged on both sides advance like avaanCheS of human beings and the weight fest crowds the other back to the accompaniment Of the most terrific cannOnading and slaughter.
 The western coast of Belgium and the northwestern coast of France are apparently clear of German troops and the whole German strength is apparently con centrated on the effort to reach Paris quickly so that forces can be detached to face the Russians and also to prevent the landing of British forces the north

PORTLAND STEAMERS
 WILL COME HERE
General Agent Titus Arrives to Look Over Field From Traffic Point
 of View

That Portland will have steamers running direct from that city to this part of Alaska in the not distant fu- ture is the statement made today by N. F. Titus, general agent of the Dodge Steamship company of Port land, which recently entered the southeastern Alaska trade in opposr- tion to Seattle boats. Mir. Titus ad- mits that this country IS we'll served now but he declares that Portland has her eyes open to her opportunities in this field and that she is ready to grasp them. He also expresses the belief that Seward will be the gov ernment railroad terminal, but wheth- CT or not the boats will come when things open up.
 Mir. Titus visited the Gateway office today with c. N. Stockwell of the Marshall-Wells Hardware company.

MONTANA HAS
 MOBILIZATION MILITIA WITH MACHINE GUNS LEAVE HELENA UNDER SEALED ORDERS

HELENA, Sept. Ten companies of militia left this city for Butte to- day with two machine guns and under sealed orders. The sealed orders were delivered by Governor Stewart to the commander of the militia just before the train started and the sc- crecy observed in the matter has caused more uneasiness than even the leaving of the troops themselves.
 The governor has received a tele- gram from Secretary of War Garri- son stating that a battalion of troops will be sent from Fort William Henry Harrison to Butte as soon as they are needed.
 The trouble from the factions of the miners union seems to threaten to as sume serious dimensions and that the troops will put an end once and for all to the matter there is every req son to believe, even if they are com pclled to fire at the mobs.

CITY COUNCIL
 HAS HOT TIME
STRONG LANGUAGE PASSED AROUND OVER SCHOOL
 QUESTION

Telling the mayor that he was no kaiser of Germany and the city attor- ney that he was not an eighth mem Der of the city council, as he suggest ed they seemed to think themselves, Councilman Chamberlain at the meet ing of the city fathers last evening mdulged in vigorous speech con demning the action of the council in refusing the bids for the building of the school house which had been handed in some time ago when they were advertised for.
 Councilman Crawford moved that the lowest bid, that of Mir, Krefting, be accepted and Councilman Graef seconded it. In the voting these two and Mir. Chamberlin voted "yes". Messrs. Noon, Patten and Hewitt vot- ed "No" and when the mayor came to cast the deciding vote he also voted, as expected, a big "No".
 It was finally decided to call for bids for the laying of the foundation etc. of the schools and to call for new bids for the school building itser.
 Then Mir. Chamberlin asked per mission to make few remarks and having been granted this permission ne opened on the city attorney and the mayor.
 He declared that the city attorney was appointed by the council and should not regard himself as an eighth member of the council which NIT. Chamberlin said he apparently did. Judge Green got to his feet and declared the statement as false. The mayor ordered Mir. Chamberlin to take his seat and used some strong language to which Mir. Chamberlin answered by denying that his honor wore the imperial crown of the Teu- tonic race. Mir. Chamberlin also made some reflections on the mental capacity of the head of the municipal government and refused to take his seat at the mayors bidding.
 For time the skirmish proceeded and looked like general engagemen, while the audience was very evident ly and very strongly on the side of the Chamberlin- -Crawford-Graef conten- tions.
 The fact that the council has decid- ed to call for more bids is certainly sign that the Chamberlin forces won put, and is taken in some quarters as an admission that the rejection of the former bids was not right.

SAY JAPAN INVADES CHINA

PEKIN, Sept. 2.-Japan has landed ten thousand troops from eighteen transports at LungkOw which is about one hundred miles north of Tsngtau and the Chi people regard this breach of Chinas neutrality and trouble may yet arise between this country and Ja pan The papers declare that Japan has committed the very same Offense for which Germany blamed with respect to Belgium and that she committed it for the very purpose which is that of using the territory of
 neutral nation to better passage into the cOun- try to be attacked.
 The guns of the Japanese ships will probably not be used until the land force gets in touch with Kauchau It is believed that much more than ten thousand troops will be required the German garrison numbers five thou sand and is strongly fortified

LEMBERG MUST FALL

VIENNA, Sept 2.-That the city of Lemberg in Ga
 ca must fall and that its occupation by the Russians is inevitable is the admission officially made by the Austrian government today The provincial government of Galica has removed the archives from the city and has instruct ed the burgOmaSer relative to affairs connected with the of the city when the Russians occupy it. The defeat of the AuSrans north of the city has also been a mtted and, indeed the admission to the imminent fall of Lemberg carries with it the admission of the defeat in the open.
 The government however, states that the evacuation of Lemberg is rather strategic defense of it would place the AuStrianS at disadvantage while treat towards the Carpathan foothills will place the army on safer ground.

CITY OF KN|K
 IN THE LEAD
WIDEAWAKE PEOPLE OF THAT SECTION ADVERTISE THEIR
 COUNTRY

That the people of Knik are worthy of the greatest success is made evi- dent by the splendid efforts they are now making in the publicity line. This week the Gateway office received an order from that place 70 get out several thousands of circular letters which will show the advantages of the trail from that point to the interior as well as showing what splendid re- sources the immediate section around Knik itself possesses. The work is being done by the Knik Commercial club which has decided evidently that when one has light it should not be hidden under a bushel while lesser and poorer lights are allowed to shine and attract attention.
 The circular points out the we'll known fact that the trail to Iditarod by way of Knik is only about half the length of the trail to Iditarod via Fairbanks and that this fact should be given publicity is not only due to Knik but also to the people who may not know it and wi:o may be saved a lot of trouble and hardships by being told.
 The people of Knik are also point ing out the splendid resources of the country around their town, but, if anything, they are too conservative. Knik is really the greatest quartz mining country in Alaska today, bar none.

 Most of the leading democrats in this city declare themselves favorable to the candidacy of Mir. Wilson and give expression to the belief that they can see no reason at present why he should not be the strongest candidate available.

in other parts of the world The remains Of other
bcrs of the subfamly have also been found California
The srikngly peculiar character of the group is, Of
course the extraordinary development of the upper
canine teeth the 3sabers from which the animals de-
rive the common name. These cats were among the
most powerfully destructive of any of the preyng types
of animals and however the remarkable "sabers'
used apparently fitted for the destruction Of the
much larger vegetable feeders with which they
socated
The bones of the big cats are found together with
those of the ground soth bson and mastodon in such
way make it probable that the latter spe
ces, though many times the bulk weight of the saber-
tooth, regularly preyed upon by them. Such be-
ing the case, it easy to imagine the desrablty OF
such tremendous stabbing weapon the cats pos
sessed useful it would be in reaching vital point
huge animal otherwise, from its size nvulnerabe to
the attack of such comparatively small assallant.
The asphaltum has yielded few specimens of huge
cat Fes babbD strikingly similar to the modern
African lion, and of approximately the same size.
From the small number found, compared with the
numerous examples of the saber-tooth it would seem
that the lion either much less abundant in this part
of the world else that inhabited very different
type of country.
nF all the animals recovered from the tar there is
none more remarkable than the huge extinct ground
soth so utterly different from any living creature, its
great SIZE clumsy proportions, and peculiar covering
all serving to set it apart from anything we are
familiar with today. The ground sloths had their ori-

The American mastodon ranged most of what
is now the United States from Southern Canada south
to Northern Mexico and to Florida and from the
ner in which its remains have been found it is believed
to have occurred in great abundance, perhaps
bers equal to the bison of recent times
Evidence has been found tending to show that the
mastodon may have persisted in North America until
after the appearance of man, human bones as
well as pottery and implements, have been found as
sociated with mastodon remains in a manner appar
emily indicative of their being of the age. While
the mastodons are so different from the mammoths
and elephants the shape of their teeth they all
renewed
The imperial mammoth elephant (Eiebhas i'm
berafoy) ranged what is the Western United
States from the Missouri River to the Pacific, and
south to Southern Mexico 1t is believed to have been
the largest of the mammoths elephants, with
tirnated height at the shoulder of thirteen feet
inches as compared with shoulder height of nine feet
inches in the American mastodon and eleven feet
six inches in the modern African elephant.
A CONSPICUOUS feature of the Rancho La Brea is
the large quantity of bird remains that have been
discovered Bird bones, from their small size and deli
structure do generally lend themselves to the
methods of preservation whereby many mammal
and reptile skeletons have been saved, and fossized
avian remains consequently extremely The
tar BEDS however have yielded up vast quantity of
such material and, while but relatively small proper

else that has thus far been recovered from the asphalt
and it altogether probable that there peri
os when their numbers great that the herds
cames were much feature of the American prairie
as were the bison of recent times.
The bison Bison dntiquus) found in the asphaltun
of the Rancho La Brea is of species o
this genus, fossil remains of which have been dis
covered in various parts of North America. Bison
antiquus is distinguished from any of the Others by
the different shape of the horns, the horn standing
at right angles from the skull From the modern
bison of the western plains it is also to be distin
guished by its great SIZE well as by other lesser
differences in structure.
Fossil horses (Equus occdentalis) have been dis
covered in other parts of California; but the spec-
mems from Rancho La Brea, though of species
already known to science, far more perfect and
complete than any previously found on the Pacific
Coast. Horses not abundant are some
of the other species; but number of good skulls
have been unearthed, as well fair number of
body and limb bones, enough to indicate the general
appearance of the animal. 1t is of approximately
the size of the modern domesticated horse, from
which it differs in having rather heavier and
coarser head and in lesser details of structure.
During Plestocene time and earlier horses
ranged over North and South America, including
many species and vast number of individuals.
The of their extinction is problematical, but
they are believed to have vanished utterly before
the advent of man in this hemisphere
