BIG GRAIN YIELDS ON
LATAH COUNTY RIDGES

Reports from the various ridges of
the Potlatch country substantiate the
general idea which has been held that
there is a bumper wheat crop this
year. says the Kendrick Gazette. The
biggest yield so far reported comes
from the first grain threshed on
American ridge which was on the
Chris Maier place, farmed by Sidney
Dicks. He had a field on summer
fallow ground that averaged over 65
bushels to the acre, machine measure,
his entire crop averaging SO bushels.
In the Cameron country the yields
reported are varying from 80 to 40
bushels. Ford Parks threshed 55
acres of Red Russian wheat that
averaged 46 bushels. Lester Hill in
the Fairview neighborhood reports
yield of 40 bushels of Forty Fold
and says his Red Russian is turn
ing out As bushels to the acre
Archie May on Pot1atch ridge near
Leland got an average of 40 bushels
These are but few of the yields
that have been reported but they in
dicate to some extent that the general
average is going to be about as ex-
pected or possibly a little better.

state will rest it's defense of the con-
stitutionality of the investigation into
the death of Clarence Peters. eX-
marine, who was killed by Walter 5.

ceeding and not a criminal trial. The
constitutionality of the investigation
was attacked in an application for
an injunction sought here last week
by attorneys for Ward and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. The
| requested injunction would restrain
Attorney General Carl sherman from
subpoenaing documents of the Ward
family, from questioning WARDS at
torneyS and other acts Whlcn are
vital to the inves tigation.
The state has completed the an
swers and atfidavits required by Su-
preme Court Judge Staley. who Will
pass on the injunction, 1T was said
today, and will have the states brief
before the court Wednesday morning.
Th investigation will he resumed

Origin of Trees Unearthed
At Hotel Site to Be PrObed

Discovery a few months ago in the
excavation made for the Walker
Hotel. at Connecticut avenue and De
Sales street. of tree TRUNKS and
stumps which experts Of the geologi-
cal survey declared to be of prehis-
toric origin and growth has un-
loosened a scientific discussion re-
garding the age of the specimens
which may never be settled, but
which is to be thrashed out be-
fore the Geological Society of
Washington, meeting at the Interior
Department tonight.
At the time Of the discovery OF the
deposits a careful investigation was
made by Chester * Wentworth OF
the geological survey. Mr.. Wentworth
declared the tree stumps and trunks
and other woody deposits to be the
remains of a forest that existed
on an ancient swamp during the
been from 10000 to 10000 years ago:
His opinion remained unchallenged
for a few weeks. until specimens
from the ancient forest came to the
forestry service Of the Department
of Agriculture.
The gentlemen Of the latter office
examined the specimens with great
care, interested to know what the
wood of the PleiStocene age looked
like They found II strangely like
the wood OF trees OF the present--so
like that of trees that are growing
today, in fact, that they investigated
further, and after all their exami-
nations came to the conclusion that
the wood came from comparatively
modern trees-tre"s that lived perhaps
forty or fifty years ago, and which,
Evening star., 1923-03-14

when they were cut down, were
thrown into an excavation on the
site OF the present Walker Hotel.
Last fall the steam shovels revealed
these trees. Their size and appear
ance and the fact that they were
apparanently cotemporaneous with
deposits OF fine clay and pebbles led
the geological survey to hold that
they were laid down during or just
before the glacial epoch The geolog-
ical survey made it's conclusions
known. but the forestry service has
never publicly announced its counter
deductions.
Those who have been investigating
the entire matter will discuss 1t at
length at the meeting of the ReoloE-
ical society. Experts of the geological
survey Will try to prove the deposits
to be very ancient-before the ap-
pearance of man on the American
continent They have several inter-
their contention. among them the dis
covery of small moss-like plant
with the tree stumps which they de-
clare is only found in deposits from
the Pleistocene age.
The forestry service experts de-
clare otherwise. They say the tree
forms are OF modern growth, and
assert they can prove ii by compar-
ing them with wood of modern trees.
While the discussion during the
ides of March may not make any
materials difference in the price Of
food or of rooms IN the hotel going
up on the site of the ancient forest.
1t may prove interesting as show
ing that an ancient forest really eX-
listed in the heart of Washington dur
Ing the ice age.
