WHALE FOSSIL

SEASIDE, Ore, Aug. 7. U.H -
Bones of a whale, believed perhaps
to be the one observed by Lewis
and Clark on their exploring ven
ture in 1905, were dug up from a
creek bed near here recently.
Along with the whale bones were
partly fossilized bones of a huge
land animal larger than any roam
ing this part of the country now.
The identity of the whale bones is
vouched for by their discoverer, r.
A. Price, but the animal fossils are
puzzling.
It is Prices theory that the
whale was stranded in the creek
more than 200 years ago, just about
the time Lewis and Clark were en-
camped along the coast. 1t is not
ed that members of the early ex-
ploring expedition made q special
trip here to view the whale, or
"ecola' as it was called by the In
dams, stranded in a comparatively
small stream.
History relates the Indians were
so impressed by the sight of the
gigantic mammal that they named
the creek "Ecola," which meant to
them big fish"

ball joint II inches in diameter, and

while OUR salaries have always

places a load on the motor which
may be varied at the will of the

sails along at top speed.

of gasolines. On the right is an
elaborate panel of instruments
showing the number of revolutions

Charles Becker, superintendent of
the motor testing laboratory, and
authority on petroleum research,
demonstrates the device. He turns
on a petcock at the bottom of one
of the glass containers, allowing a
well known brand of gasoline to
run into the carburetor of the
test motor. He adjusts the dyna-
mometer control to simulate the
hard pull of a steep grade. He
makes note of the speed to
which the motor is pulled down
by the heavy load, and of the pow
er developed as registered on the
sensitive balance.

torrance using other we'll known
makes of gasolines from the glass
containers. And finally he turns on
