GRAVEL SAND BEING
TESTED FOR DAM USE
Five Carloads Shipped To Denver;
Miniature Dam
Built BY Engineers

GRAND COULEE DAM, Aug.17.
Half a million pounds, five car
loads of gravel and sand ras been
SHIPPED to the U. S. bureau of rec
lamation office at Denver for test
ing purposes, it was learned from
the bureau. of reclamation today.
More will be sent at the work
of concrete placing progresses.
Although many dams have been
built without this, testing of gravel
and sand, the bureau is taking no
chanres in the construction of this,
the worlds largest, and so eXacting
examinations are given all the mat
erial to be used in the concrete.
A crew of men is also working in
the little testing laboratory on the
east shore given the concrete cylin-
ders made out of the aggregates tax
en- from the Brett pit to see under
what stress the concrete will crush.
Many other tests are given also.
At the Fort Collins hydraulic
laboratory of the bureau, water is
poured over the small model of the
dam as engineers check the stress
from the flow of water over the
spillway and also in the river chan
mel. Photographs of the proceedings
are taken of the movement and the
stress thus determined.
Larger of these same models are
in use at the Montrose laboratory
in California, also for testing pur-
poses.
AS Frank A. Banks, construction
engineer, said sometime ago,ia dam
is built twice: once in the planning
for the construction and the second
time, the actual construction.

IMPORTANT FIND IS
MADE IN C0ULEE WALLS

The Grand Coulee, which is the
result of two remarkable periods
OF nature in the past; that is the
Great Northwest Basaltic overflow
and later the great Ice Age, This
combination has glen rise to many
unusual features as we'll as specta-
cular walls, cliffs, lakes and can
yons. Trere are many other expos
ures such as fossil beds and forest,
but the latest is one dicovered the
first part of July this year by two
men from Seattle.
About the 10th of July Mr.. B.
e. Peabody, and a Mr.. Friele, the
first an accountant and the later
an employee of tea importing
company, were exploring around
tire Blue Lake region of Lower
Grand Coulee. They found the cast
of an animal high on the walls be-
tween two flows of basalt. The cav
ity attracted them and they crawl
ed inside of it and found what APP
peared to be the molten remains
OF some kind of an animal They
secured one jaw bone with the
teeth intact, taking it to Seattle
with them. 1t was later turned
over to the University Museum
there. Mr.. Backus, principal of the
Coulee City schools, who is inter
ested in this line of research, also
heard of this and inspected it at
the museum, Prof Beck, of Ellens-
burg Normal, Who follows this
line of research work, heard of
this and went to see the bones
found and secured description of
the place from which they were
taken. He wrote the writer about
this at the time and later made
trip overibut could not find the
place.
However not to be outdone, he
gets one of the original finders
to make the trip over again, and
last Sunday, August 18th, Prof,
Beck, Mr. Foxy superintendent of
the CCC camp at Vantage. Mr.. Pea
Lody of Seattle, and the writer
made the climb, and relocated the
spot where the important find was
made. One can crawl inside the
mold, measurements being IA inch
from base of neck to end Of the
and one half feetto the end of the
COuyh lulcS lcSL llOll UdCh W DOt-
tom of body and two and one half
feet across, bone in place in left
front leg Legs are imbedded in
rock. The animal lays on side at an
angle of about 80 degrees. There is
a strata Of clay or silt between the
two flow and evidently lake of
marshy conditioned existed to
cool to lot lava quickly and pre-
serve the animal mold as found.
What he animal is we do not
know. This will be left until thor
ough investigation as been made by
the proper authorities who are
qualified to make all necessary
measurements, reconstruct and de-
| termine what specie of animal it is.
However, it must be one which be-
lon'ged to middle Miocene period.
| THE horse, bear and sabre tooth
tiger, were not developed at that
time but there were hippotamus
and rhinoceros.
General information will not be
given out until evertri1g is fully
examined and verified. and steps
made to preserve the rlace / which
should be under the supervision of
the Government or the State Park
System. Prof "ssor Beck safs: "1t
is the only thing of it's kind in the
world" More about this later.

SENATOR BORAH MAKES ATTACK
 ON Q W N PARTY
Associate Justices for Pres idential Candida a tes
 Serious Blunder

WASHINGTON, July 9.-United States Senator William F. Borah, Of Idaho, believes the Republican Party will make serious blunder' if it seeks to pick Presidential candidate from the Supreme Court of the United States.
 Senator Borah said he was prompted to make the statement as the result of articles mentioning Associate Justices Harlan Fiske Stone and Owen J. Stone as possi- ble candidates to oppose President Roosevelt.
 Senator Borah said the Associate Justices were undoubtedly men, toned because of recent opinions which coincide with what fertile brains of political strategists think were made for Republican Party advantage. Such an action, in talk ing candidate from the Supreme court would be nothing less than an attack upon the Court itself

 Abduction DORE, FOR DEFENSE,
 REMAINS SILENT Salt Lake Floorwalker De- scribes Receiving
 Ransom Bill

TACOMA, Wash, July 9.-Five Government witnesses, including the father of George Weyerhaeuser, testified in rapid succession during the first two hours of the trial of Margaret waley here today. Mrs. Waley is accused of assisting in the abduction and, after a $200,- 900 ransom had been paid in the release of the 9-year-old son of the Tacoma lumber baron.
 Defense Counsel John F. Dore, former Mayor of Seattle, examined none whose testimony marked the Governments preliminary steps to- ward proving that Mrs. Waley was not an innocent party, but an ac- tive conspirator.
 H. 0. Mcdonald, Cashier of the First National Bank of Seattle, de- scribed the preparation of S20o,- 900 Federal Reserve notes which were paid to the kidnapers.
 Tell Ransom Preparations
 Charles Ingram, an official of the Weyerhaeuser company, told of representing the family, of arrang- ing with the banks for the money, of receiving 1t in a black suitcase, and of giving it to Weyerhaeuser at his home on May 29.
 Miss Marian Samuels, floor walker in a Salt Lake City, Utah, Woolworth store, identified the S5 ransom bill which Mrs. Waley tried to pass on June 8. She said she did not talk to the girl, but called Detective William M. Rogers.
 Placed on the stand, he said that Mrs. Waley told him her name was Mrs. Won Metz and that she had received the bill the day before in change from $l0 bill which she presented at a Kress store. He said that she gave this testimony in a Salt Lake City Justice office where he questioned her.
 Father Testifies
 WeyerhaeuSer told of George s disappearance, and of his frantic calls to hospitals and to school. He then told of receiving the first ransom note. He appeared nervous at first on the stand, but regained his calmness before finishing his story.
 Mrs. Valley dropped her head and twisted he handkerchief dur ing the presentation of the ran- som notes.
 The Government charged today that George was kept in a pit near Issaquah, Wash, but. later, was taken to another pit near Nasket, in eastern Washington, near the Canadian border.

SUPREME COURT MIGHTY FACTOR
 NATIONAL LIFE
Although in Recess Con gress Contemplates
 Many Decisions
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Even though it is in recess, and its members scattered far and wide on vacation, the Supreme Court continues to be mighty factor in the daily life of the national gov ernment.
 Not only are several additional New Deal" agencies preparing to fight for their lives when the Court reassembles next fall, but the whole trend of legislative developments speaks of a dominating role for the Judicial Branch during the next two years.
 Every day Congress hears argu- ments whether this or that pending bill will pass muster at the bar of the highest tribunal As matter Of fact, prior notice already has been given that almost every one of the administration measures now before Congress will be hailed into court as soon as it becomes operative
 It all points toward elevation of the court to level of prominence and prestige even higher than that reached in the gold and NRA decis- ions. Both the President and Con gress may find 1t far more difficult than formerly to keep in the spot light.

 The latest chapter of the Long Overton case Illustrates once more how bewildering Senate procedure can be to layman.
 Since 1892, sworn charges have been pending that John H. Overton was nominated for the Senate in Louisiana by fraudulent means, with the help of Senator Huey P. Long
 In the interim Long has address ed the Senate on many occasions. He has called his enemies all sorts of names, and accused a long list of individuals of high crimes and mis- demeanors. His remarks are clothed with immunity. of course.
 Now comes the Women's commit tee of Louisiana. citing the consti- tuticnal right of petition, accusing the Senate of having "whitewash- ed' Long and overton, and asking why action has not been taken. one way or the other, on the charges against them.
