ARMORED cars.
■a silver-colored armored car with
r formed attendants stopped in

rc cntly. It was just out of the
si. op and ready for the Loomis Arm
01 'd Crr service, with headquarters
in Portland, owned by L. B. Loomis,
former well known sourdough of the
E ikokwim section. Another car
rr de its bow in Tacoma a week
p vious, making a fleet serving the
ci ies of Fortland, Tacoma, Seattle
ta Vancouver, B. C., that assures
r'solute protection to those trans
i rng money or precious cargo.
The car is made of bullet proof
ir-otal and glass and is the last word
in anti-bandit designing. Each car
cs cries a crew of at least two men
who ride in the cab which is also
to edit-proof. They are armed ; with
high-powered rifles and revolvers
j. . are as safe from attack as if
they were enclosed in a small fort.

MANY MILLIONS OF UNCLAIMED
DOLLARS IN THE U. S.
Back in 1790 the government of
the U. S. A., then in its infancy, had
to borrow some money. It offered
what now seems an exorbitant in
terest rate, 6 per cent, and borrowed
a total of $30,880,389 at that time.
Of this amount $27,870 has never
been reepaid because the lenders
have not asked for it.
This $27,870 represents the oldest
unredeemed government securities
in our history. This issu® matured
more than a century ago and while
no inteiest would be paid since ma
turity, the bonds, if produced, would
be honored just the same today as
if presented a hundred. years ago. .
Since that time the amount rep
resented by unredeemed government
securities has reached a total of
approximately $20,000,000. Their
holders are- entitled to cash them and
the money is waiting but for unac
countable reasons the owners, of
these written promises of Uncle Sam
to pay back the money he borrowed,
with interest,, haven’t come forward.
A considerable per cent of this un
claimed money is represented by, un
redeemed Liberty .Bonds and war
savings certificates issued during,
the late World War so that many of
the owners must still be living. Why
they don’t cash in is a mystery.
Added to this $20,000,000 is $34,
000,000 more of unclaimed funds
still in. government hands represent
ed in part by treasury certificates
and notes, and other forms of cur
rency never turned in for redempt
ion. Uncashed government checks
account for several millions of this
aduea amount.
And all of this is only the begin
ing of hundreds of millions of for
gptten money, in this ountry. The
government is prohaoly the largest
holder of such funds but there are
many millions more in possession of
state and local governments, banks,
trust companies, insurance compan
ies and various corporations await
ing claimants who cannot be. located.
It is estimated there is $50^)00,C00
alonep in dormant, accounts of Am
erican banks.

DINOSAURS ONCE HAD'HOME
IN WHAT IS NOW WYOMING.
In a low spot in the Big Horn
mountains 25 miles east of Grey
bull, Wyo., 12 skeletons of prehis
toric monsters known as “saurop
pod” dinosaurs have been dicovered
so far by an expedition of the Am
erican Museum of Natural History.
‘ hese huge beasts weighed 15 to 20
tons each when alive, and were
nearly .60 - feet'’ long. The scientists’
theory js that this whole region was
tropical/ in nature and covered with
water 125,000,000 years ago. The
water gradually receded which caus
ed these dinosaurs, unable to live on
dry land, to gather in the low swam
py spots where ■ water remained the
longest. As these swamps dried up
the monsters perished like fish irn^a
dry pond.
