BONES OF ANCIENT
PERSON UNEARTHED
NEAR SP00NER;; MAY
HAVE BEEN GIANT
Skeleton Leads Physicians to Believe
Being Was That of Seven-foot
Tall Woman.
TO BE PRESENTED TO
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Large Mounds Found in Territory {;
: Pieces Of Pottery are
" Found.

An enlightening contribution to
historical data concerning the early
mound builders of the Rainy Lake
region has been made in the finding
Of skeleton of prehistoric being
near Spooner.
The skeleton was found on a caved
in bank of clay off the Rainy river
1t is we'll preserved and is thought
to be that of woman. The bones
have been taken to Spooner and
placed on exhibition.
Prehistoric Person.
Physicians who have examined the
skeleton declare that it represented
a type of early prehistoric persons
who were seven feet or more and who
possessed an especially large lower
jaw. They drew this conclusion be-
cause the skeleton found was that Of
q person of a very large stature. The
Jaw bone was wide and its construc-
'tion is said to be special gift of ma
ture to the early man in order that
he could masticate the c0arser foods
which then made up his subsistence
The skull is very large. The well
rounded forehead gives evidence Of
considerable development of intelli-
gence among these early inhabitants
of the Rainy Lake territory. The
fact that the skeleton was found at
the base of the mound established the
fact that the being once belonged to
a race of mound people builders, sev-
eral persons declare.
Pottery Unearthed.
\ Some large mounds have been
found in this territory. In some
places a number of pieces of pottery
have been unearthed. It will be re-
that when the dam at In
ternational Falls was under construc-
zion several hundred pieces of temper
ed, copper were unearthed from "a
depth of Is feet.9 The articles con :
sisted of fish hooks, knives. spears
and arrows. The art of tempering
copper which was known to these
early mound builders is now lost
art. At the time of the discovery of
these articles it was estimated that
the mound dwellers lived in the
Spooner territory between 1000 and
1900 years ago.
The mound at the base of which
the skeleton was found was opened
about three years ago. At that time
several pieces Of pottery were found.
There is no question in the minds Of
the people in the Spooner district
but what the skeleton unearthed rep
resents intelligent, Industrious mound
dwellers who lived before the days
of the red men.
The skeleton will be sent to the
Minnesota Historical society.

Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production. y

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dalrymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress Of 1915 which shows great in
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. HI also said the Inn
provement In quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 80 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase OF over 1,000,0 900 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease In dairy butter and over 25,0OO
lbs. increase In the cheese output. The
increase of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $427 900. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
tOba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and II brought an average price Of 23c
per h.. of creamery butter 5S30607
lbs. were produced which commanded
20c per ID. on the average; cheese pro-
ductlon was 726,7gJ lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products Is given
as 81, ,760,69S, In addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at SJ25.G59
and the cream ut $15S,S27, the average
price of the milk being reckone6 mt
21c per III. and of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fnt. In connection with
the dairy industry II Is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, Of which the
1918 production amounted to 100 132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,Sl5 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle In the province
Is given ms G31 ,OO5. which is an In
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory Is handling four times
as u.Ach milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing Improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. II, 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons rate Of 27Ac per
III. for butter fat and had profit re-
manning over all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers SOL III and manu-
featured 2jG,OOO lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2Si4 cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta Is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of prominent
dairy business here, which I'm 1915 pro-
duced 2,525, 900 lbs butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
