President May Fish
Where R0oseueLta and
Taft Proved Pro1Uess'

STURGIS, S. D., June Is. AT 6
trout pond in the Black Hills where
Presidents Taft and Roosevelt have
distinguished themselves as anglers,
President Coolidge is to have a chance
this summer to prove his prowess as
fisherman.
The pool is at Davenport dam, pri-
vate preserve of a power company at
Sturgis, where Bear Butte creek has
been obstructed to form a fishing
spot as rich in trout as any in the
hills.
Twenty years ago, Roosevelt stop
ped there on a flying tour of the
west, cast his line and pulled out an
eight-pound brook trout
Taft visited the dam in 1911 with
rod and steel, and in half an hour
caught the limit of some 20 trout.
If President Coolidge can match
these peri or Inances, Black Hills
sportslnen will concede to him the
reputation as an angler which pre-
cedes him to the scene OF his sum-
mer outing.
Trout are even more numerous in
the pool this Summer than When
Roosevelt and Taft fished there, an
glers say. A Rapid City man caught
l6 trout in 16 minutes with birch
fishpole, and state official extract
ed 20 good sized specimens in Is
minutes.
Posted against trespassers and
guarded by watchnen, the pool is al
ways well stocked with good sized
fish, and the public is admitted only
when the pond is too full of trout.
Jarvis Davenport of the power
company has invited the president
to bring with him to the dam Gov.
w. j. Bulow and Senator Peter Nor
beck of South Dakota, and the visit.
may turn into a contest among the
three. The pond lies some so miles
north of the summer white house.
Most of the executives fishing will
be closer at hand. SquaW creek,
which runs close by the presidents
vacation home, has been set aside for
the sole use of the White House
party. and abounds with brook, noun
tain and Lochlaven trout not yet
educated to keep away from hooks
and bait. And if he wants diversion,
a little farther from his front yard
another wealthy trout haven, French
creek, lies in the park only few
miles south of his lodge.

colo. RIVER
SECRETS SOUGHT
BY SCIENTISTS
General Readjustment of
Science On History of
Man May Follow

OAKLAND, Calf, June 18. P)-Are
there secrets inbedded in and pre-
served by the red iron" sands and
limestones of the Colorado river dis
trict which may cause general re-
adjustment of the theory of science
concerning the history of man?
Samuel Hubbard, honorary curator
Of archaeology of the Oakland Mu-
scum and director of the E. L. Do
heny scientific expedition to the Hava
Supai canyon of northern Arizona,
thinks it probable.
Hubbard goes so far as to say it is
possible the pick and shovel some day
may disclose the existence of:
An "ape man. with nine feet of
vertebra ending in a long tail--claWs
instead of feet.
Twelve legged dragons and other
animals of shapes and sizes as yet
unknown to naturalists.
Animals that answer Biblical de-
scriptions, but which some scientists
say "never were"
when the fossilized bones of each
OF these many strange types of crea-
lures have been disclosed we can
say that they did exist, but until then
we can only surmise," Hubbard
added.
Hubbard declared in his opinion
sufficient has been learned to war;
rant new expeditions into the south
west to dig for prehistoric types OF
man and animals.
A digest of the results of the Do
heny expedition coupled with recent
archaeological finds has led Hubbard
to a number OF conclusions which he
classifies as probable" or possible, :"
but most of which he thinks must
have further scientific corroboration
before they can be accepted as defln-
itely established.
However he said, "I am more
and more convinced the DarWinian
theory is erroneous in SO many par
ticulars that it cannot be accepted
as a theory Of how man came upon
earth"
Among Hubbard's tentative conclu-
sions are:
That man and animals of the dino
saur type were co-eXistent
That the Colorado river district will
reveal eventually proofs which may
force readjustment of ideas regard
ing the antiquity of man.
That eventually science may disclose
the truth of the biblical version OF
the origin of man through Divine
creation.
That "there were intelligent men
ON earth millions of years before
apes are supposed to have evolved"
That the Eskimos are descendants

German Solons Act to
Protect Young Prince

BERLIN. Parliamentary inmu-
nifty saved Prince Otto Won Bismarck
the Iron Chancellor's grandson, from
being pros cnted for automobile
speeding. Neither his princely title
nor his recent appointment to the
diplomatic service availed him before
the stern district attorney, who car
ried his prosecution so far as to de-
mand that the reichstag waive young
Bismarck's immunity.
Here, however, the solidarity of the
German solons asserted itself. The
district attorneys demand was read
out in open meeting amid hilarious
uproar. President Loebe, socialist, did
his German national colleague a
good turn by referring the whole

GREATEST word
Task NEARING
ITS COMPLETION
New English Dictionary
Representing 48 Years
Work Nearly Ready

OXFORD, Eng, June 18. P9-It is
expected that this year will record
the successful completion Of the
greatest lexicographical undertaking
the world has ever known, the New
English Dictionary, after more than
IS years of constant work
Already the n1agnum opus OF Sam
uel Johnson is referred to as "an in
complete piece of hack work." and
his definition of the word network
anything reticulated or decusSated
at equal distances, with interstices
between the intersections cited as
an example of how not to write die
tionaries.
1t was in 1879 that Sir James Muir
ray started work on the Oxford Dis
tionary, as it is familiarly known. It
was first proposed in 1857 by Dean
Trench in his noted Study of Words. "
The main feature throughout the
work has been to select and gather
quotations to illustrate fully the his
toric development Of every English
word and it's ninutest shades of
meaning and for this purpose all
English books written before 1900
have been read by scholars all over
the world. as well as thousands of
books written since 1000.
The nearest approach to the New
English Dictionary is the great Ger
man lexicon Of the brothers Grimm,
who also wrote fairy tales in idle mo-
ments. 1t was begun in 1858, but
after SO years it had reached only its
18th volume, down to VEG.
Even with its supplements, Litre's
French Dictionary IS small affair
compared with the oxford distionary.
Students find that Webster's die
tionary cannot be compared with
the New English dictionary for scope
and thoroughness.
Most of the work on the Oxford
dictionary has been done in the
Scriptorium, little tin tabernacle
erected in Dr. Murray's own garden
at Mill Hill, and in 1891 taken over
by oxford university.
When the editor started work he
had more than 100000 quotations at
hand, and since then. has handled
countless numbers.
