truth about Fiji" he said. "Of
course, the old system Of indenture
which all Indian people regard as a

there are still difficulties about which
conflicting statements are made. ThA

Expedition to Hunt
Huge Mammals

Chicago, March 20.-One doesn't
usually hunt l 500 pound mammals
with turtle-likc shells and 1O-foot
tails with spiked warclubs except in
bad dreams, but party from the
Field Museum will hunt for such an
animal, and others as strange in Ar
gentina, this fall. Elmer S. Riggs,
curator of the department of paleon-
tology, will head the expedition, and
he means to bring back the mega
therium and the glyptodon dead or
alive--probably dead, as they are
recorded as having been extinct for
long while. The glyptodon is the
creature with the charming tail de-
scribed above; the megatherium, a
variety of ground sloth is fellow a
few sizes larger than the elephant.
The sloth known today is dweller
in trees, from which he hangs all
day, moving slowly about towards
dusk. The megatherium, however,
had no need to climb trees, for he
could stand on the ground and reach
lofty branches with his ,forepaws.
These are a few of the huge mon
sters Mr.. Riggs will seek in the
southern wonderland. He won't dis
dain, however, to look for extinct ami
mails as small as mice, and expects
to find remains of number of them.
Mr.. Riggs expedition will be one
of five which the museum has begun
to send to South America. A .botan-
ical party is already in British Gui-
ana. Mr.. Riggs will sail in the fall
in order to be in the southern hemi-
sphere when it is spring there. The
party, which will also include j. B.
Abbott of the museum and one other
experienced field worker yet to be
selected, will look for fossils where
the sea has worn away the rock along
the Argentine beaches. In some
places the rock system of the Argen-
tine coast is exposed for mile.
The extinct mammals of South Am
erica are particularly interesting,
Mr.. Riggs says, because they are
chiefly marsupials and are more
closely related to the fauna Of Aus
tralia than to that, living or extinct,
found in North America or elsewhere.
The distinctly South American an
imals now extinct included, besides
the ground sloth and the giyptodon, a
camel shaped beast with the snout o:
tapir, and Il hcavy-bodied river an
imal which rescmbled the hippopot
anus. having hoofs, huge teeth and
the skull of horse.
The prehistoric South American
and North American animal life is
di&similar because the continent
were long separate. When a conncc-
tion arose some Of the animals cross
ed over, the ground sloth into the
northern, the mastodon ard NAM
moth into the southern continent,
scientists say. The first ground sloth
found in North America was describ-
ed by Thomas Jefferson, and bears
his name: megalonyx Jeffersoni.

No Agreement on
Cost of Projects

prOximate Costs of the Platte

Fred II. Healey of the Stock Growers
State Bank has received the following
from Congressman Mondell concerning
the long delayed reports of the state
and federal engineers who spent last
summer and fall surveying in this val
ley for the purpose of arriving at APP
proximate costs of constructing the
proposed reclamation projects:
'This will acknowledge yours of Ian

the matter of a report on the proposed
reclamation projects in the Upper
Platte Valley.

to have a final report made on these
two projects, Inc particularly as to
the estimates of their probable cost.
We have been giving this matter very
earnest attention here quite recently,
and nave been cooperating with State
Engineer Emerson who has been in
Washington for the past I'VE weeks.
Delay in making the final report is
due to the difficulty in reaching an
agreement between the State and Fed
eral engineers as to the probable cost

The annual report of State Insur-
ance Commissioner Forsyth, recently
presented to Governor Carey. is an in
teresting document in more ways than
one, and especially as regards the
enormous profits made by the insur-
ance companies i'll this state. Accord
ing to this report, Wyomingites paid
insurance premiums last year totaling
81. 6,903.65, an increase of S1,O5l,
099.63 over the premiums paid in 1920,
and the companies paid losses in this
state during 1921 OF $1,530. 1G3. 43, an
Increase Of $174,2Os.21 over the losses
paid the preceding year.

Wyoming Bankers
Will Aid Farmers
Quarter-Million-D Dollar Corporation is
PrOpOsed-May be Start of Biggest
Loan Project Ever Undertaken.
CBy +. l.. Babcock.)

Wy = -. i'dbNb'h.l
There was placed on foot in Chey-
enne last week what is believed to lie
the first practicable movement to fur
nish the dirt farmers of Wyoming
with credit machinery whereby they
may secure adequate longtime loans
upon their land at 6 per cent interest
and without either delay or red tape.
The movement may prove to be the
start Of the biggest single project ever
undertaken to develop the agricultural
resources Of this state.
The plan calls for the organization,
perhaps in the very near future, of the
Wyoming Joint Stock Land bank, a
quarter-million dollar concern which,
under the law, win be authorized to adj
vance farm credits to the extent of $4,-
100000 and which will attempt to
lend all the money needed to tide the
farmer over not only their present
emergency but all other emergencies.
AS soon as the Si,0O0,000 is exhausted
the plan is to increase the capital
stock, thereby providing additional
sums in the same proportion of IL to l..
An idea Of the benefits that may ac-
crue to the farmers is to be found in
the vast moun IF relief accorded by
the War Finance Corporation revived
by the present national administration
for just such a purpose to the stock
men of this state.
These stockmcn's loans are limited
to grants ON livestock there is no pro-
vision for adequate loans on land. The
Joint Stock Land bank proposes to
make this provision. The wyoming

Southwest Petroleum Company's Rig
Totally Destroyed By Fire Last Night
Said to Have Been Caused by Explosion of Oil in Blast Furnace
Two DriIlers on Night Shift Seriously Burned = New
Rig will Be In Operation Within a Month.

The drilling rig of the Southwest Pc
troleum Company, operating a few
miles from Saratoga on the Pick
Springs Oil Compaiis's land. was total
ly destroyed between 10 and II o'clock
last night by IA fire said to have been
caused by explosion of oil in the blast
furnace where the tools are sharpened.
The drillers on shift had only time
to shut off the oil supply from the
storage tanks and get out of the dan
ger zone, and two of the men were
quite seriously burned about the face
and hands in the explosion. They ar
rived In town IA little before midnight
and were treated by DIR. Irwin.
1t is reported this morning that all
materials for another standard rig
have beer ordered by wire by Manager
Oberlee and that drilling operations
will again be under way within Il
month. 1t is said the burned rig was
fully covered by insurance.
The 1O-inch drill had reached a depth
of about 1900 feet at the time of the
explosion, and some people are specu-
lating as to whether or not the explo-
sion might not have been caused by n
gas pocket in the well, as the bore had
reached a depth where most anything

might he expected to happen. How
ever, a terrific fire was developed in
the furnace when tools were being
dressed, and the men on shift declare
that the explosion which caused the
disastrous fire came from the furnace.
iQuick thinking and action on the part
of the workmen undoubtedly saved the
storage tank and several hundred bar
rels of fuel oil, as this would have
quickly ignited from the burning rig
had not all connections been quickly
closed.
The debris is being cleared away to
make way for the new rig, materials
for which will begin t arrive within

of these two projects. What it will
cost to reclaim these lands is of course
the vital question, and until the esti-
mates have been finally agreed to, it
will of course be impossible to attempt
to interest the Reclamation Service or
Congress in the matter of funds for
these projects.
"From some talks / have had with
various parties interested. ii seems
likely hat the estimate of cost as to
one of these projects will be in the
neighborhood of $50 per acre, and
the other one somewhat in excess of
500 an acre. although of course until

may not be definitely stated. In any
