mile wide. It's highest point is hill
about 100 feet above the country east
and west. On this hill Is q gravel pit
with a face about $50 yards long and
in some places 20 feet or more high.
The gravels rest on what are known
as the Red Beds, a Permian forma.
ton. The pit materials consist of
coarse gravels below, alternating with
irregular beds of sand. often cross
bedded. Higher up the materials are
not so coarse and everything all Is a
deposit of fine clay. The whole de-
post is that of a river whose current
must at times have been rapid.
THE situation shows that these ma
terials were laid down long ago.
Rivers do not run on the tops If
ridges and hills. Since that stream
abandoned it's channel the nearby Red
Beds of the vicinity have been eroded
away about 100 feet, still more at a
distance, and the river has gone else
where. The topography seems to
show that the old bed on the ridge
was that of ancient north fork of Red
River. The present river runs in a
bed II miles farther west and prob
ably at level about 200 or $50 feet
lower. The geological map of the
region shows that the intervening
space belongs mostly to the Pleisto:
Gene, and the deposition of that has
probably been the work Of the river.

"As to the animals, hold that they

roughly estimated to be 100000 years

This conclusion is sustained by the
enormous amount Of erosion suffered
by the Red Beds since the river left
its old channel; likewise by the occur

early Pleistocene animals in perhaps

be mentioned About two years ago

Alexandria Mayor Sees Justification

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA,, Va, September %.
Mayor William Albert Smoot. appear
ing before an informal meeting of the
city council yesterday, made the first
formal statement in connection with
the possibility of Incorporation by
Arlington County, which brought
forth a recent resolution by Council
man J. L. w. Timberman that $4,000
be appropriated for a survey with a
view to extending the boundaries of
Alexandria.
This possibility" said Mayor
Smoot, ''justifies Alexandria in pro-
tecting itself, and while / still feel
that Arlington could postpone her in
corporation program and we could
postpone our annexation program if
a sensible and fair understanding
were arrived at, yet it seems to me
that this understanding is not going
to be arrived at, and that it is going
to be necessary to go ahead with these
plans.
Il am interested" he further stated,
I'm a number of pieces of property in
Arlington County, and as taxpayer
of that county would hate to see the
entire county lose the many financial
and legislative benefits which accrue
against the cities and, individually, /
doubt the necessity for hurry in an
nexation proceedings on the part of
Alexandria, but when the matter is
finally summed up 1t will be found
that both communities are hastily try
ing to protect themselves against each
other. Their interests are SO identical
that this is a very unfortunate Situa-
ton, yet, in the absence of any con-
certed friendly effort on the part of
both county and the city, do not see
how the necessity for these proceed
ings can be avoided"
The members of the council, the
city manager, the city engineer and
the city attorney will hold an informal
meeting at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
and at $50 o'clock an adjourned pub
lie meeting will be held, when definite
action on the resolution of Council
man Timberman will be taken.

HALTs PACK OF WOLVES
 WITH HIS REVOLVER

Louis Lyckens was up on the Walkers Fork Liberty creek lately when he saw six wolves which had just killed a caribou and were feeding off the carcass. Louis watched them and counted some seventy-odd wolves sitting in a wide circle around the carcass. Af- ter awhile three of the wolves mo- ticed Louis and his dogs and made for him He had only a revolver, which he used when the wolves stopped within fifty feet of him. He did not hit them. but the shots frightened them away. Louis set traps around the caribou and then chained them to the legs of the caribou, but when he returned the following day all traces of the traps and caribou had disappeared Dawson News.
