But back in the days when the Icy
thosaurus roamed the land, and the
horse had a few more toes than he
does now, and some Of u present
river valleys were lakes, and strange
vegetation was ~hereabouts, and gla-
ciers were moving down the country
and blowing it up more generally than
a million million Fordsons-back in
those days they had some whoppers,
both fish and snakes.
Back in those days, when the coun-
try was so messed up that u earliest
resident wouldn't recognize it, they
had fish as was fish, with nary an
Izaak Walton to catch them or leave
word for his friends concerning the
fly they were biting on in those days.
But. if the fishermen don't remain,
the fish themselves do, and when ex-
cavated a few days ago at the plant
of the American Refining company at
Great Falls, were in a condition which
probably would have endured several
thousand years MORE. Workmen found
a big fish, %forerunner of the rainbow,
perhaps, measuring six feet long and
other dimensions in proportion. It
was petrified, and with the exception
of the fins and the thin parts of the
tail was as perfect as though it had
been carved from stone. A snake, 80
feet long and 10 or 20 inches around
at the thickest part, was unearthed.
The head was taken to R. B. McDon-
aid, 1916 Fifth avenue north, Great
Falls.

Dawes, director Of the budget. brought home to more than I.0o0 Of ficials as ssembled today in the second business meeting of the governmel the appropriateness Of his ehen anu maria" nickname. For more than a half an hour he poured forth crit. cism and praise alike on officials oi high and low degree.

 "Wnsre are those brooms9
 Three brooms were produced from under table by an assistant.
 'There." the budget director eN- claimed. pounding the floor with lhe handle of one of the brooms, "is your broom that meets navy specification. And here are brooms that don't meet those specifications but sweep just as well. The navy bought 1S,0O0 of its specification brooms when it could have had 35O,0OO army brooms for nothing"
 The budget director went on b say 1t took a months persuasion i5 make the marine corps adopt a slight change in color in order to use 1O0- 900 army shirts and save S24,000. He told Secretary Denby, however. the record of the navy for cooperation, with the bureau was the best of the departments.

 ANNOUNCING PACT
Americas Position Regarding Open Door Reiterated by Hughes at Session
 Yesterday ~
By Associated Press

Washington, February 3.-Form. regret that Japan has failed to re- nounce all claims against China based upon the 1915 treaty and the opinion of the Chinese delegation that this treaty and the correspon- dence which led to it from the "sub- ject of impartial examination with view to their abrogation, was ex- pressed today by Chief Justice Chung-Hui Wang of the Chinese delegation, at the final meeting of the far eastern committee.
 Dr. Wang's address was in reply to the statement yesterday of Baron Shidehara. for Japan. announcing the withdrawal of group five of the treaty and other clauses objected to particularly by China. The official communique of the meeting, issued tonight, quoted Dr. Wang as declar- ing that the entire covenant should be abrogated because it was forced on China, 1t violated treaties be- tween China and other powers and was inconsistent with principles re lating to China adopted by the con- ference%
 America's Position Given.
 Secretary Hughes followed the Chinese delegate with statement of the position of the United States. He read into the record the note sent to the Chinese and Japanese govern ments May 13, 1914, stating that ''the United States cannot recognize any agreement or undertaking which may be entered into between China and Japan impairing the treaty rights of the United States and its citizens in China, the political or territorial in- tegrity of the republic of China, or the international policy relative to China commonly known as the open door policy"
 This statement was in accord with the historic policy of the United States in it's relation to China" MT. Hughes continued, "and it's position as thus stated has been, and still is, consistently maintained"
 The secretary then expressed the qualification of the United States over the settlement of the Shantung controversy "to the mutual satisfac- tion of the two parties" and over the announcement by Japan of ths definite withdrawal of group five of the 1915 treaty, which, he said, had been "an occasion for considerable apprehension alike on the part of China and of foreign nations who felt that renewal of these demands could not but prejudice the principles of the integrity of China and of the open door,"
