What Is considered the most Impor
tant collection of quadruped fossils
over secured by the stnte museum
from tho stato has Just been un
earthed by a party ot geologists from
tho Btato university, led by Prof. Er
win If. Harbour, curator of the state
museum, University of Nebraska.
Tho fossils were found on tho fnrm ol
W. A. Jamison, lu what is known ns
Devil's gulch, Brown county, 200 feet
below tho surface of the earth. The
most Important consisted of two
skulls, with Jnws attached, of the early
mastodon, known as four tusker (tot
tablelodon), which nnciont nnlmnl
was twice tho size of tho ordinary
circus elephant. Besides this, a wldo
rango of animal forms was secured,
consisting of the fossil horse, rhinoc
eros, ancient deer nnd camel. The
collection makes two wagon loads of
material. Tho task of unearthing
theso bones In good condition, boxing
them In the gulch nnd hoisting them
out of the canyon was no easy task,
according to Professor Barbour, but
It was completed with wonderful suc
cess within two weeks' time.
Board Dismisses Contest.
The action of tho state board of
Irrigation which was taken Saturday
clears tho way for the completion of
tho fourth, nnd what is said by soma
engineers, to bo tho best water power,
plant that can be built on the streams
of Nebraska. The board dismissed,
tho contest of William Coad of Omaha
against tho filings of Chnrloe P. Ross
of Omaha, an engineer employed by
tho Union Pacific Railroad company.
Tho board also dismissed tho filings
of Cond which cover tho same water
applied for by Ross. This leaves Mr.
Ross and his associates a clear field
to develop water power on tho lower
Platto, near tho town of South Bend.
Although the proposed plant Is to
havo only 10,000 horse power, nnd to
cost $2,000,000, It can be enlarged It
the project is undertaken so thnt
power can bo supplied to nil of tho
eastern portion of Nebraska, Including
the cities of Lincoln, Omaha and Fre

Total expenses of tho extensive and
wnrllke national guard maneuvers
which Adjutant General Hnll Is plan
ning for "Nebraska soldiers for the
month of August will reach about $30,
028. This Is less than camps of other
years havo cost. Of tho entire amount
tho stato will bear about $13,000 or tho
burden and the federal government
will likely foot tho balance of the bills.
Tho reduced cost is made possiblo
through tho transportation arrange
ments which General Hall has made.
Instead of carrying all guardsmen to
the maneuver grounds, all of tho com
panies will bo required to march two
days, first to battalion and then to
regimental mobilization points. As
planned now, 1,374 men will tako part
In this year's maneuvers nnd state
camp. The highest number that ever
participated beforo was In 1011, when
1,170 men saw service In tho Bellovuo
camp.

cording to Dr. Cnrr, It will be from

Thnt $150,000 for a state reforma

to expend $150,000 for lands and build
