HERDS OF PREHISTORIC
ANIMALS IN BIG BOG

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. what is
believed to be the most e%xtraordi-
nary deposit Of remains Of prehistoric
animals in the world Is to be developed
extensively in the vicinity Of Spokane.
At the village Of IAtah, AZ miles froM
Spokane, is an oozy area surrounding a
large spring. Geologists4 say this spring
ana it's surrounding strip OF swamp has
existed for countless centuries In pre-
cisely the same spot as 1t does today.
Prehistoric animals coming down to
drink sank in the bog and their bones
exist in quantities that makes the sink
hole a mine Of wonderful richness for
the scientist.
The skeletons Of % prehistoric ami
mails have already been taken from
the Latah spring. One Of these. the
framework OF the largest mastodcn IN
the world, is now mounted In h Field
museum at Chicago. It Ia said to be
worth $25, 900 as ii stands. From all In
dications the spring Is likely to yield a
whole herd Of mamtodons In skeleton.
The Eastern Wyoming Sta&e Histori.
cal society, headed by r.. C. Lindsey. OF
Spokane, president, has acquired the
spring and will develop the ground eX-
tensively with a view to thorough ex-
ploration. Portions Of a big mastodon
have already been uncovered and 1t Is
proposed to exhume the complete skele-
ton and reserve IT for a Spokane mu-
scum when one is erected. The cham.

GERMANY IS LOOKING
TOWARD OLD MEXICO

COBLENZ, Aug. THE eyes Of the
commercial world OF Germany are d.
rected toward Mexico. according to Ger
man newspapers of recent date.
With reference to Germany's pros
pective trade with Mexico the German
Anzeiger, which Is devoted to the chem
ical industry, says: I'm Munich there
was formed in 1918 a German Mexican
society composed of educated people.
The purpose Of this society is to dis
seminate Information about Mexico;
lend impetus to the study of Spanish;
bring about the teaching Of the German
language and German culture in Mex
lean schools; induce Mexican statesmen
to visit Germany; and induce Mexican
youths to attend German universities.
In March, 1919, a similar society was
organized in Bavaria with a charter
membership Of 200 persons.
I'm Renthingen there has been in
c%orporated the 'Alrpeco' founded by in
dustrial firms, the purpose of the or
g~anization being to facilitate exchange
Of raw products and other commodi-
ties between the two countries.
"Seventy-five per cent OF Mexico's
exports found their way to the United
States, which regards Mexico as Its
warehouse. OF course those exports
will now go to Germany. Our first duty
Is to secure from Mexico large imports
OF raw materials and not regard 1t as
q dumping ground for German goods"
