TRIP IlEVKALH GOIJ) AXD FUR
Important Commercial Powtibllitles
Developed by Third Asiatic
Expedition
Fur Trailer Already Following
leader's. Example by Using
Dodge Brotliers Motor Cars
iWhile science toys with the 25
dinosaur eggs brought back from
the Interior of Mongolia by the
Third Asiatic Expedition, and
wonders about their relationship
to the dinosaur skeletons now and
then unearthed in America, indus
trial leaders are giving deep and
serious thought to the commercial
phase of the expedition's many
remarkable discoveries.
Numerous important mineral
deposits were found, according to
Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of
the expedition, and it is only a
matter of time until modern trans
portation makes it accessible.
The plains are also inhabited by
millions of fur bearing animals,
and fur traders are already hot on
the trail followed by the Andrews
.party in Its search for fossllsi
Mr. Andrews demonstrated that
it was not necessary to rely on
the plodding camel in order to
penetrate the rich interior. His
three Dodge Brothers motor cars
did what the fur traders and oth
ers interested, in the commercial
development of Mongolia bad con
sidered impossible. The fur trad
ers 'promptly bought up -his three
Dodge i Brothers cars, proved to
their satisfaction that it was In
thercar to- do' it and not luck
and, are now operating, three of
the same sturdy American cars In
pursuit of the fortunes that roam
aimlessly on the ' plains. Trips
that formerly required months are
now made in days. 'There are no
roads, - but that seems, to make
little difference when one is using
a Dodge Brothers car.
. Thus the for trade already has
been given a definite Impetus by
the Andrews expedition's revela
tions. Information regarding the
geographical discoveries, such as
mineral deposits, was turned over
to the Mongolian government.
How soon active development, of
these resources will' begin, de
pends largely on the condition of
state affairs and the Interest of
outside capital. - -!
.The Importance with which the
results of the expedition viewed
by the press Is reflected in the
countless editorials which fol
lowed the travelers return. Typi
cal of the comments is the follow
ing, frpm the Dallas Journal:
'"How many of us grubby folk
know 1 that dinosaurs - laid , eggs?
Who among us could estimate the
Value bf dinosaur - eggs ? . . Geolo
gists working In the. wilds of Moa
golla coder the auspices of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory have discovered a whole nest-
ful of dinosaur eggs, twenty-five
of them, to- be specific, and they
say that the value of the eggs i4
priceless. Their evaluation will
not be 'challenged. For these
eggs are big as moons,1 compared
to those of the industrious hen of
our own time, and they are past
the possibility of deterioration,
since they are fossilized and are,
estimated to be 10,000,000 years!
old.
"Old . King Tut. it will appear,
has no sort of monopoly on relics
of antiquity. This lay of the an
cient dinosaur antedates the
pharaoh's time by ages and
epochs. As an exhibit from a pri
meval past it will stand in a class
to Itself. The exhibit, is made
even more impressive by the addi
tion of tons of other fossil re
mains which were found in the
Asian desert.
"That the discovery was due to
the courage and determination of
the men who comprised the scien
tific expedition need note stated.
But an interesting revelation is
that it would not have been pos
sible without the aid of that mod
ern of . moderns, the automobile.
Motor cars penetrated hundreds
and hundreds of miles into regions
that had never scented the odor
of gasoline, following with ease
the trails which had been made
by caravans of camels. The lead
er of the expedition, Mr. Roy
Chapman Andrews, is quoted as
having , said that all of Mongolia
is accessible by motor car, and
that a new field for commercial
exploration and development nas
teen opened.
"From which It may be" seen
that great possibilities may be
hatched from dinosaur eggs.
Commerce is a follower of the
flag, we have been told. But it
may also be said that it follows
the explorer in the name of
science."

liAXll AFTER PKCULIAR
DEMONSTRATION
Yesterday Paul Davles, one of
Vlck Brothers' new salesmen, was
at Jefferson looking after a car
sale and incidentally run n to
a man in trouble with a car of old
vintage. This gentleman and his
family were touring from Califor
nia and were anxious to get on to
Portland, so Davles hooked on to
their car with his Overland Tour
ing, car and brought them in to
Salem. The demonstration given
of Overland power was sufficient
to give this touriist the Overland
fever and Davles took his order for
a new Overland and delivered it
to him Immediately.
The old car towed in, together
with its . cargo weighed 3500
pounds and was towed in all the
way from Jefferson by this new
Overland without even heating
the motor. Davies believes strong
er than ever that it pays to be
courteous always.
