DIG UP MANFRED FOSSIL
Remains Found In Montana Show Head Like Human Being, With
 Body Like a Fowl.

A strange fossil. which some credu- lous persons say was creature that was half man and half bird, was placed on exhibition ut the Billings (Mont.) chamber of commerce. It was found near Fromberg in the foot hills and is composed of the sedimen- tary rock of the Mosozoic period which has furnished most of the geo. logic data on which the Darwinian theory Of evolution is based.
 The fossil is about 24 feet high and the head is shaped like that of the human. with welI-developed pro- lection over the base of the brain, 2 larger forehead than that of the ape and prominent jaw. The body is shaped somewhat like that of a peli- can with large projections at the sides and the well-defined breast of a bird. That the fossil, despite It's hu- man suggestions, is that of a creature half bird and half reptile is suggested by students.

The school as q whole has been very

there arisen any trouble between teach

worked together in the most pleasant

year the work ought to be even better.
There have been few failures this
year, but those who were in attendance
this year will know that they must be-

next year, and those of the eighth
grade that will enter will catch the
spirit and no doubt will be as interest

you readily see what results could
be expected. On the other hand
non-residents and spectators
have boosted and boosted and
boosted about what they knew
nothing. and in many instances,
never saw. They bought some
cheap land and wanted it to make
them a fortune.
Instead of investing few dol
lars for development here they
got busy and exaggerated true
conditions and plain facts to the
extent that they have destroyed
the faith of many hundreds of
people in the possibilities of the
country. Why, they have said
that the water just spu. ted out
all over the ground. that the soil
was from 20 to 80 feet deep. that
we raised 65 bushels of wheat
per acre out here 1--WE may have
at some time had a few acres
which reached that yield. but all
of US know that it is an outland-
ish prevarication to try to make
people believe that we could do
| it more than once in a life time
under existing conditions.) We
wish since they will not come
here to li.e. since they absolute
ly refuse to invest a dollar for
development, that they would
let us absolutely alone while we
promote progress. The truth
about this country is good enough
for the sensible man. who is will
ling to use his brain as well as
his muscle and as soon as the
eastern renter and the great
middle class which are an actual
benefit to any country. are able
to realize it, there will not be an
acre Of undeveloped land in the
country. Mr.. nonresident, per-
nit me to inform you that when
you spend the money developing
Eastern Colorado that you spend
in advertising US, you will have
no difficulty in finding buyers for
your $25 and $35 land. Why
some of you have even offered to
put us in the movies-of course
you were considerate enough to
ask us to help pay for the pic
lures and give US an opportu-
nifty to help sell your high priced
land. If the cities cannot get
along without you. if you MUST
be there to keep things going.
why not give some of your less
fortunate brothers an opportuni.
ty to come here and make money
for you. Furnish him a few
cows, horses and farming inple-
ments, erect for him a decent
abode, corral some of this water
which is going to waste for his
use and yours, furnish him some
seed and begin realizing some
thing on your investments. In a
very short while ycu will not
| need to take a measly little SIS
for your land. 1t will go far be-
yond that price the first year. l
think that all of Cheyenne coun-
ty will join me in saying that it is
PEOPLE which we need here
people with a little means and
some grit to take advantage of
what nature has provided. They
will come too, as soon as they
learn that Eastern Colorado is
prosperous and productive coun-
try in the heart of Uncle Sans

there is not enough profit in it
to encourage private enterprise.
ABOUT FLYING MACHINES
The other day I received a
pamphlet from some Prepared
ness" society in Congress was
denounced for not appropriating
fifteen or twenty millions for the
purchase of flying machines for
the army and navy. presume
similar articles are being distrib-
uted over the country.
Personally, I am earnestly in
favor of investing in airships as
weapons of defense. In my
judgment many Of us will live to
see a gigantic struggle for the
control of the air. There is no
reason why Yankee ingenuity
should not develop the aeroplane
to the point where it would be
impossible for a hostile fleet of
troop ships to approach our
shores.
But I have voted against big
appropriations for airships and
it is time the people were told
the reason why.
Not one Aeroplane has been
made in this country, up to date,
which could successfully under
go the test of war conditions.
All the aeroplanes which the
American manufacturers have
shipped to Europe are being used
behind the fighting lines to train
aviators. The ,airships which are
credited with the performances
which have thrilled mankind are
all of foreign make.
The weak point in the Ameri-
can machine is the engine, and
the engine is the heart of the
aeroplane.
American manufacturers have
been making machines for ext
bition p lrposes and have not
found it necessary to concentrate
their talents on the construction
of an engine which will come up
to European standards.
At this session we will appro-
pirate 81, 800, 600 for an expert
mental labracory and one of the
first tasks assigned the experts
who will find employment in the
labratory will be the fashioning
of an engine for aeroplanes
which will be equal to anything
in the world.
In the meantime Congress will
refuse to throw away millions in
the purchase of flying machines
which are incapable of doing the
work expected of them.

Washington Letter
BY Edward Heating

District.
The Democratic House of Rep
resentative last week setNa high
record for constructive legisla-
tion.
In six days the House passed a
rural credits bill which will save
the farmers of this country tens
of millions in interest charges,
and a shipping bill which will re-
store the American flag to the
seas, from which it was driven
by the stupid tariff and maritime
legislation Of the Republican
party.
Probably never before in the
history of this country were two
measures of such widespread
Importance put through the
House between Monday and Sat
urday night.
WILSON'S SHIPPING BILL
The shipping bill is regarded
as one of the big items on the ad
ministration's program. 1t pro-
vides for the investment of $780,
600, 600 of government funds in
merchant ships which may be
used in the trade with South
America and other countries dur
ing times of peace and as naval
auxiliaries during times of war.
President Wilson urged the meas
ure in the last Congress but the
Republican majority in the SEN
ate, aided by a handful of DEM
ocratic Senator, talk, d it to death.
At that time there were a
great number of fine vessels on
the market which could have
been purchased at bargain counter
prices. 1t is estimated that if
the President had been given his
way, the government woula have
more than doubled it's money be-
cause Of the increase il value of
the ships, besides forcing a re-
duction in the outrageous trans
oceanic freight rates.
Thanks to the activities of Re
publican Senators these millions
of profits instead Of going to the
national treasury have been de-
posted in the strong boxes of the
shipping trust.
Prior to the Civil War. the
Stars and Stripes were seen in
every port ir the world. To-day
after fifty years of Republican
rule, practically all American
trade is carried in foreign bot
toms.
SUPPORTED BY A
REPBLICAN
No wonder Congressman Mil
Ter. one of the Republican men,
bers from Pennsylvania, said
during the debate on the ship
ping bill:
This is great business prop
osition which every man who
has any products to ship to for
eign countries, every manufac-
turer who wishes to ship his pro-
ducts to foreign countries is in
terested in. We have practically
no mer .hant marine. and ~nen
the people of the United States
! heretofore wanted to ship their
products to South America they
had to ship by way of London or
Liverpool in English bottoms. be
cause we had no American bot
toms in which to ship them. l

when it comes to final passage.

crosses have tried it time and

Some Of the most bitter reflections
IN the ienominy the Congress Of the

uttered By men of Ir. Cornwell's own

upon them for eXpedtencys sake. One
OF them, Senator Hardwick, Of Geor-
ga. spoke TO the point in condemning
the very action that the Democratic
candidate for governor Of this Stale
holds as praiSeworthy. In addressing
the Senate on the Adamson bill Sen
ator Hardwick said: We must enact,

approves, not the legislation that our
wills. our consciences, our mlnus az

other words, we must pay the price,
not out OF the Public Treasury, nor
yet out OF the railroad treasures, b
out Of the pockets Of the people whose
representatives We are, and without
their consent, certainly without con-
sulting them
That is the concrete situation which
has been forced on the country by he
passage Of the Adamson bill. which
does not provide foe an eight hour
work day 1t purports TO have done, but
does effect a wage increase OF GER

have TO pay the bill. Mr.. Cornwell
