RECEIVE FOSSIL SPECIMENS
FROM MIR. RALPH FIELDS

MIR. Ralph e. Fields, now Of Billings,
retains his interest in Libby and Libby
people as was shown in a letter from
him last week in which he informed
the schools that he was sending them
several specimens of fossilized wood
secured while on a field trip in south
eastern Montana. The fossils arrived
in excellent shape and have been cata-
logued and added to the geology coll
lection. As pointed out by Mr.. Fields
the specimens show distinctly the
leaves, the bark and even the cones Of
species that he Identifies as the Giant
Sequoia and the Redwood, trees which
are found only in moist climates like
that of the Pacific coast. The conlu-
sion is that some millions of years
ago Montana had a semi-tropical eli
mate and that it was probably part
of great inland sea. The fossils are
causing quite a little interest among
the geology students. They are run
ming down the big trees in the refer
ence works and have worked out sew
eral theories Of their own to account
for redwoods in Montana. The school
sends its appreciation to Mr.. Fields for
the specimens and his interest
The school received several unframed
copies of Stuart's portrait Of George
Washington last week as the gift OF
Congressman Evans. There will be
enough Of the pictures to place one IN
each school room AS this is the BIZ
centennial celebration of the birth of
Washington, the pictures will assist
materially in the programs given for
that event

WAR NAVY SITE
VERDICT NEAR

The Public Buildings Commits
sion today wrestled for more
than an hour with the vexing
question of where to locate the
new War and Navy building or
buildings, and announced that it
was nearing a solution.
Senator Reed GmOOt (R.) of
Utah, chairman of the commits
sion, said. another session will be
held tomorrow, when he expects
a decision.
Considers Two Sites
The commission now has two
sites before it, one on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, west of Seven
teenth Street Northwest, and the
other in Southwest washington,
south of the Botanic Garden.
The commission has held sew
eral meetings in an effort to de-
eide between the sites, and has
listened to lengthy arguments for
and against each. In addition
to selecting a new site, the COM
mission is faced with determining
whether the War and Navy De-
partment shall be housed in one
building or whether it is advis-
able to give each a building of its
own.
One Building Favored
Officials of the departments be.
lieve that they should be in the
same building, or in adjoining
structures, because of the inter
relation of their activities.
The commission today also dis
cussed several minor projects af-
fecting the building program of
the Government in Washington.
1t was decided to postpone for
later consideration the selection
of a site for the proposed build
ing of the Court of Claims.
