There were a few local engagements
north of the river. in which the Germans
captured two small works north OF Hem

London. July Having captured the
whole German second line south of the
river Somme. from the river TO Belloy,
the French have resumed operations
north of the river and have cleared the
bank almost to Clery. The British are
still heavily engaged all along their front
from Hasdecourt to Gommecourt. Not
withstanding the heavy German counter
attack they have been able to maintain
the ground gained and to extend it in
some points.
As the German trenches are occupied
the evidence aecumulates OF the deadly
execution of the artillery. In some cases
50 per cent of the defenders were killed
by the terrific shelling. British observers
express satisfaction with the progress
made without heavy casualties and with
the taking of 10000 prisoners and great
quantity Of war material together with
the subsequent losses inflicted in counter
attacks. 1t is believed here that the
German power of resistance must have
been weakened

THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, June 5.
Receipts OF cattle on the Denver

Today. with nearly 10000 cattle
here, offering of natives was only
fairly good and prices were firm to
shade higher than last weeks close.
Good fat steers are selling to pack

ECONOMY COMMITTEE
 D|SCAROS ZINC LINING
Associated Press)

PARIS, Mar. 7.-The Parliamentary Committee on Economy, which has been Investigating ways and means of saving money in the public service, tells in it's latest report how mem Der of the committee was one day by the fact that all the ammunition sent to the front was packed in zinc lined boxes. The attention of M. Thomas, minister of munitions, was called to the fact, and he suggested that inquiries should be made at the front. If the zinc was superfluous it would be suppressed.
 Two members of the committee ac- cordingly followed box of cartridges from Vincennes up to the front trench, but failed to find out where the zinc was necessary. They consulted every body enroute from generals and cap- tains down to privates, but without result At last the general command ing the Fifth army solved the puzzle the zinc was used, he said, merely

the crust of the earth. By looking at some of these il- luStrations that represent plants we can restore in inn agination the ancient vegeta- ton of parts of the world.
 Fossil plants are very abun- dant in the Fort Union for nation in North Dakota, where they are found in the sandstone, in the harder con- cretionS or lenses, and in the clay between the beds of sand stone. Most of them, espe- cially those in the clay, are preserved with remarkable fidelity. About 300 species of plants from this formation have been described, and the total number of species it contains may perhaps reach 500 or more.
 This abundant fossil flora shows that what is now an almost treeless plain was once covered with splendid forests of hardwoods, intersperSed with scattered coniferS and ginkgos. The presence of numerous and at many places thick beds of Ignite make it clear that in this re- zion there were great Swamps which must have existed with but little change for long periods of time.

GAGING OUR STREAMS SHOWN IN NEW
 BOOK

One of a series of twelve reports presenting the results of measurements of flow Of streams in the United States in 1913 has just been publish ed by the U. s. Geological Survey as Water Supply Paper 359.
 Measurements of stream flow were begun by the Sur yey in 1888 in connection with special studies of water needed for irrigation, and since 1895 the bills passed by Congress appropriating mon ey for the work of the survey have carried an item for ga- ging streams. Measurement 0f stream flow has been made at about 5000 points in the United States and at many points in small areas in the Seward Peninsula and the Yukon-Tanana region, Alas ka; and in the Hawaiian Islands. In this work many private and state organiza- lions have co-operated, either oy furnishing data or by pro- yiding financial assistance in collecting the data. In July, 1913, about 1880 gazing sta lions were maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations, and many measurements of discharge were made at other points.
 The report on the Colorado tlver basin, which forms part ) of the annual series entitled Surface water supply of the United States" represents the results of cooperative work between the federal sur gey and the States of Arizona Utah and New Mexico. The records presented include de- Scriptions of stations on the Colorado and its tributaries 1t which measurements were made and tables of daily gage heights and daily and month y discharge.
 The report is highly techni- cal in character and has no interest for the general read er but will be useful to engi- 1eers and others interested in utilizing the streams.
 Copies may be obtained without charge by applying to the Director, U. s. Geolog- 'ical Survey, Washington, ID C.

COUPONS & TOBACCO

One of the reasons assign ed for the decreasing volume of newspaper advertising by the American Tobacco com pany is that the expense of trading stamps and coupons eats up the advertising appro- priationS, and agencies like the Frank Presbrey concern in New York, while badly hurt by the conditions, ap- pear to lack the nerve to take up the cudgels against their foes.
 Since Ben B. Hampton, made a big reputation as the publisher of Hampton's Mag azine, ascended to the posi- ton of vice president of the American Tobacco company, where he is regarded as the principal authority on tobac- @ advertising, it would ap-
 ear as though reputable publications might have real friend in the saddle; but MT. Hampton, like the rest, ap- pears to be under the spell" cast over all safes proposi- tions by trading stamp and coupon schemes; or, he has concluded that these devices which are robbing the pub fishers of their legitimate business, are more voluable than newspaper and maga- zine advertising.
 As long as the publishers depend upon the agencies to fight their battles against coupons and trading stamps, just that long will those de- vices grow and flourish.
 There is a timidity among the agencies in handling this question; superinduced by a fear of antagonizing their clients, who, in turn, are in position to do business direct with the publishers as way of showing their displeasure with any agent who has the effrontery to express an opinion publicly.
 The evils referred to above are such as should command the attention of all publishers and a little healthy discussion might have a fine effect on advertisers and their agents.
 Publicity has cleared up many a bad situation, and as this is one that affects the bank account of every pub fisher it might be we'll for them to get busy and lambast the offenders.
 While serving themselves, the publications affected could do still greater good to the public by helping to drive

emigrant trail from Kansas City and the Platte Valley trail.
 It was the center of turbu- fence during the time of h. dian warfare.
 Here, during the construc- ton of the Union Pacific rail- road, according to Gen. c. M. Dodge, there were more des- perate fights and literally hair-raising adventures than James Fenimore Cooper ever dreamed of, and here Maj. Frank ]. North, with his four companies of Pawnee h. dians, made history defend- ing the Overland Route against hostile Indians.
 The Plum Creek, Ogalalla, and Summit Springs cam paigns under Maj. North's di- rection did much to prove conclusively to the Sioux and Cheyenne that he was their absolute master.
 The same writer says that every mile of the railroad had to be surveyed and built with in range of the rifle and un- der military protection, and much of the success of the enterprise he attributes to the active support of Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman.
 West of Kearney the bluffs consisting of loess overlying rocks of late Tertiary age, are about a mile from the rail- road. Could the traveller re- store the landscape of late Tertiary time, he would find himself surrounded by scenes greatly different from those ! of the present. The swampy lowlands of that time were covered with vegetation simi- lar to that now growing in moist climates farther south.
 He would recognize few of the animals. Though they formed an aSsemblage very different from that of today, they much more closely re- Sembled the living animals than those of former ages.
 Camels and llamas were abundant and great ground sloths and glyptodonts whose relatives now live in South America, inhabited western Nebraska during Pliocene time.
 Mastodons with tusks on both the upper and the lower jaws, much like those of the Miocene epoch, still persisted. Short-legged rhinoceroses re- mained abundant, and there was great variety of wolf like carnivora. Saber-toothed tigers and true cats, some of them considerably larger than the modern tigers, were also abundant. Three-toed horses were still numerous, but the modern genus EquuS was not among them.
 One of the most curious animals of the time in Kansas and Nebraska was a gopher like rodent that had two large horns on it's nose. It's enor- nous claws indicate good burrowing powers and it's horns also may have been used in digging.
