SAYS RAINFALL -CREATED
LAKES
(By Associated' Press)
JIKXO Nov., Apr. 2S. About 400
years before the birth of Christ
northwestern" America experienced a
period of heavy rainfall and thus
western .Nevada lakes were formed,
according- to Dr. J. Claude Jones,
dean of the geology department of
the , University of Nevada here.
Dr. Jones believes that many of the
lukes in this region are the residue
of the ancient body of water known
as Lake Lahontan and he discounts
the theories of other geologists that
Lake Lahontan was lormed by an
arm of the sea that extended into
Nevada from Oregon
At its greatest heiirht. ho believes,,
Lake Lahontan covered an .area of,
8,500 square miles and had a dram
aye basin of 45,000 square miles in

ho have been somewhat dismayed,
by this turn or uf fairs will he particu
larly IntereHted in a statement hunied
today by Itoger W. Jtabson in which
liu explains the situation.
"Hund prices," says, Mr. Bubnon,
"are governed by a combination oi'
three factors: the demand for pood,
the, supply of money, and the psychol
ogy of the times. The cumljluuton of
these three net the price for money
(the yield of bonds) which governs
the market value of the Individual se
curity. Comiiiotlily Trices Low.
"If we begin at the bottom we find
low commodity prices, dull business
and little demand for commerciu
money. Add the psychological factor
of Increased confidence on the part o
the public and demand picks up, prlc
es strengthen and manufacturers be
stir themselves to take caro of new
business. As soon as these conditions
exist, buying starts In earnest. Peo
ple always like to buy in a rising mar
liet. The moro they buy the higher
prices go and wc head for a boom. All
this buying takes more money and the
manufacturer requires added funds to
take care of increased demand.
"Kunds that would otherwise be in
vested in bonds are used in business,
in fact, many bonds arc sold to get
thu necessary cash to carry on opera
tions on the new scale. The hanks
meantime huvo a heavy demand for
commercial loans and the bonds the
bought with Idle funds during dull
times are sold. All this reduces the
demand for investment bonds and in-
creases the available supply of sunn i
issues. . i
Uoon i Times KxplalneU.
"As the boom goes too far, banks'
get over-extended and must call in !
loann. More bonds are sold and pric- j
es tumble. Concerns which are caught j
must liquidate and forced sales mean
sacrifice prices. The.,., moment thu
public sees prices begin to weaken,
demand disappears as quickly us ii
appears in a rising market. Itusinessi
. slows up and funds begin to accumu-
late both with the investor who saves:
more In dull times, than in boom
times and the banks who now have u
slackened demand for commercial
loans.
"both turn again to the bond mar
ket and seuk to invest these surplus
funds. Demand for bonds again picks
up and prices begin to rise. As they
go up the luiying increases. A certain
speculative element, busy in the stoeji
murket during the boom turns to
bonds for a possible speculative profit.
"The true investor," concluded Mr.
Ilabson. "should not be upset by
these fluctuations but should buy for
regular Income rather than specula
tive ttroflt. The position of the mar
ket when the funds arc available i rations and the cost of removing the

lake also extended slightly into Cali
fornia and Oregon.
Dr. Jones bases' his estimate of
the age of the ancient lake on the
thne required for the Truckec river
to make the salt deposits which apt
pear at Pyramid I-ake. The 'belief
that tufa grew only in saline wa
ters, and the presence of largo de
posits of tufa at Pyramid, was one
of the reasons eurlicr geologists had
for believing- that Lake Lahontan was
originally part oi the ocean, accord
ing: to Dr. Jones.
BUILDINGS WITHOUT

CLEVELAND, Apr 28 The down
town building1 as well as the factory
of the near future . is - destined to
bo without windows, and to depend
upon artificial means for light and
pure air, according to officials of the
Nela Park Laboratories of the Gen
eral Electric, company here. 1
"Interior lighting for every work
ing purpose has been perfected to a
stage where it even surpasses day
light," said Dr. iMatt Luckiesh, of
the laboratory.

hiehwav of the Columbia river iruu In
spreading fan-like over the North
American continent from the Worth
Pacific slopes, in the opinion of Dr.
Edwin T. Hodge, nrofessor of geol
ogy at the University of Oregon.
After cro&inir tho Berimr straits
from Asia, the first racc3 in North
America moved southward f rom I
Alaska, explained Dr. Hot lee. These
tribes of hunters followed the ier
tile coastal regions as far ;4"uth as
tho Klamath mountains in Oregon.
The high Siskiyous prevented fur

cestors of the Indians found in Amer
ica, by the explorers, entered the
plateaus of Oregon and Washington,
said the geologist. Then enticed by
the roving herds of bison which
dwelt on the plateaus, the neolithic
men gradually moved eastward along
the Snake river country of Idaho,
thence through the open ranges of
Wyoming onto the Great Plains.
From here thev moved eastward to
all parts of the American continent.
In an article, "The Ancient Men of
Oregon written by Dr. Hodge re
cently, he pictures the paleontological
events which led up to the meeting
of the white man and Indian in
Oregon. "The white man who 'began
to arrive 'from Europe on the. Pa
cific coast in 17-11 had the same
origin as the Oregon Indian, but
along a different line of descent.
Thev are brothers, and like brothois
they have so treated each other
one with hospitality, and the other
with a sense of superiority anil
greed."
Writing about the Albany mounds,
Dr. Hodge- made, this statement:
"There interred lies the mute evi

Monl., Apr..,28. A nur
rative of the Sioux campaign of 1870
in which the Custer massacre, writ
ten at the time the fighting occurred
by a participant in it, will be pub
lished this summer by the Montana
Historical Society.
The narrative is from a' manu
script record by Lieut. James H.
Bradley, who was a member of the
Seventh United States Infantry sta
tioned at .Fort Shaw, a few miles
west of what is now Great Falls,
Mont., when it was ordered to the
valley of the Big Horn river to meet;
the Seventh Cavalry under General j
Qustcr and several other detach-;
ments. Its arrival was a few hours
too late. Several thousand Indians1
had overwhelmed Custer's force and i
were gono before the other troops i
arrived. !
Lieutenant Bradley was- stationed j
in Montana, at Fort Benton and Fort !
Shaw, from 1871 until he was killed
in the battle with Chief Joseph, the
Nez Perce leader, in the Big Holei
Basin, in what is now 'Beaverhead
county, Montana, close to the Idaho
line, in 1877.
Lieutenant Bradley was a prolific
writer and filled a dozen manuscript
books with data un the early days of
Montana, Indian hnbit and customs
