Identification Made Fossils Placed in Dr. J. Arnold Shotwell, Univer sity of Oregon paleontologist, has definitely identified fossils recent ly found in a gravel pit easC of Prineville Junction as those of creatures of the world's ice age.

Miles is a pre-dental student at the University of Oregon. He is presently operating the county spraying rig on areas of white top and Canada thistle. Miles is using animo - triazole, a new chemical, on the Canada thistle. OSC experiments have shown it to be 90 to 95 per cent effective on the thistle where it occurs in crop land. Miles suggests, however, that farmers continue to use chorate mixtures on the thistle on non crop lands as it is a soil sterilant and almost completely effective. Miles will soon commence spray ing for wnter hemlock. He has contacted irrigation districts, seek ing their cooperation again in con trol ot this noxious weed along river, creek and canal banks. Promise ot cooperation has al ready come from the Central Ore gon Irrigation district.

Miss Howden replaces Rita Lynch, and Browning replaces Ray Card er. i Elizabeth Lochrie, the former principal at the Metolius school will be a new 1st grade teacher, replacing Ada Quinlan and in the same grade, Blanche Hereford re places Virginia Turner. A new fifth grade teacher is Alda Beckwith. At the Powell Butte school, Mr. and Mrs. Eanard Gentry resigned to accept a teaching position In California. They have taught at the Powell Butte school for a num ber of years.

These included a giant beaver of the Pleistocene and a large carnivore, possibly of the prehistoric dog tribe. Other Bones Removed Also removed from the gravels were bones of a mammoth, pos sibly the "wooly elephant" of the ice age; camel and horse. He will take the fossils to Eugene for further study, and an attempt will be made to determine whether the horse represents a species new to science. The animals are believed to have lived along the shores ot the huge lake that formed in the Crooked river valley alter lava blocked the gorge in the Smith rock area. That lake backed up stream to the present site of Prineville. Discovery of the fossils appar ently fixes the age of the Crooked river lava flow as Pleistocene. That was the age, geologist say, when such volcanoes as Hood, Jef ferson and the South Sister took final shape on the western sky line.
