One of these toes is spread at a much larger angle fron. the centre toe than the other. The measurement of one of these strange footprints, showed it to be fifteen inches across from outer to outer toe, and to have a length of about seventeen inches along the central toe, Numerous footprints of this an- cient form of life have been re- vealed. In one case alongside the large prints there arn a trail of smaller footprints, preserving in literal tablets of stone the record of a mother bird being followed by her little ones. These footprints were found in the coal seams. This coal measure is one of the highest of Fernie shales about one foot above the series found at Michel, in the Kootenay strata. Many delicate fern-like impres- sions 'have also been discoered in these shales, and they are so per- fect that almost every frond is clearly shown, They tell the story of a time thousands of years ago, when the climate of the Crows Nest Pass country, being very warm and moist, was conducive to a luxurious, tropical growth of vegetation. The whole area = +s evidently a great swamp in which ferns as large as trees flourished. It was the fallling leaves and stalks of these enormous plants that composed the present coal measures for which the country is noted. Shis luxurious vegetation foster- ed animals of an equally fabulous size, such as could have grown only where there was a huge sup- ply of foddder. Those vegetarian animals were, in turn, preyed up- on by carnivorous monsters. Anthropologists believe that the animal life of the perind indicated by the footprints was mostly of a lizard type. The birds also had characteristics of lizard life and were very different from the bird species of today. Several years ago there was found in the shales of Fernie a gi- gantic fossil lizard twelve feet long, having a vast horned snout. It was found in strata underlying the coal measures and was said to be a fish-eating lizard of an age before the coal horizons were form- ed. Lying in the still waters of the swamp it hecame gradually in- filtrated with lime or silicates out of the water until every particle of of its body was replaced by these hard substances, thus preserving through the ages a perfect replica of the animal in its original form. Geologists believe that the lizard belonged to an age more than a million vears older than the bird footprnts.

The ° mem- orial is the work of Major Frank H. Norbury, sculpture, this city. It will occupy a prominent position on the 60th pargllel, about a mile south of the Fort Smith settlement on the 16- mile portage between Fort Smith and Fort Fitzgerald, on the dividing line between the Northwest Territories and the Province of Alberta. The monument, which is of Indian limestone, is in the form of a neatly piled cord of wood, surmounted by a stump with roots cut near the tree. On the upper part of the stump as if the bark had been scraped off, is the inscription, and on the face is the 00th arallel with "N'W'T" on one side and "Alberta" on the other. Follow- ing is the fnscription: "To the Memory of Edward Mar- tin, died June 13, 1928. The best woddcutter of the North; he supplied fuel to the steamboat. A silent and lone man who took pride in his work and built an honest pile." "Martin died as he had lived, alone. His body was found in his shack by a woodsman who happened to be pass ing and looked into the shack. Near- by was a discharged gun which. told the story of his taking off. Doubtless the grim silences of the north had af- fected this lonely soul till they at last became unbearable. "He built an honest paile," as the inscriptien on the memorial states, and in doing so left a name that will live long. i BY EXPERT MECHANICS 014 floors finished like new.
