Canadian Scientist to Search for 8,000,000 Year Old Fossil

New York – February 4 – The steamship Cameronia departed yesterday, bearing WE Cutler of the University of Manitoba at Winnipeg, who goes to East Africa in search of fossil, known to scientists as the Gigantisaurus Africanus.  The specimen is said to be at least eight million years old.  The scientist will take with him into the jungle more than 100 native carriers.  The heat in the section of the fossil bed ranges from 130 to 140 degrees.

Unearthed Dinosaur Skeleton

Calgary – February 4- Prof WE Cutler, who sailed Sunday from New York to East Africa on a scientific expedition, worked in the fossil beds of the Alberta badlands for the University of Alberta and for a Calgary syndicate, while a resident of Calgary.  He unearthed one of the finest specimens of dinosaur skeletons ever brought to light, his discovery being housed later in the British Museum.  This brought Professor Cutler international recognition.

Benedict Bantly Concert, Puente, CA 1924

The Los Angeles Times, 29 August 1924

St Joseph’s Church, Puente

Puente, Aug 28 – St Joseph’s Catholic Church, opened for the first time last Sunday, was the scene of a sacred concert and organ recital tonight, which was attended by an audience taxing the capacity of the new auditorium.  It was the first time many of the residents had had an opportunity to hear the new organ and to view the interior of one of the most beautiful small churches in the Southland.  The recital was under the direction of Prof Benedict Bantly, church organist, who was assisted by members of the choir and several vocal and instrumental soloists.

Services were held for the first time in the new edifice last Sunday when a special mass was celebrated by Rev Father Louis Ph. Genest, resident pastor, whose efforts are in a great part responsible for the new church building.

Cutler Urges Museum Here – Winnipeg, 1924

Cutler urges Museum Here

Professor Scientist Tells of Pre-History Life on Western Plains

Intimate details of the lives of giant reptiles who were probably the most prominent citizens of the Red Deer Valley, Alberta, 4000000 years ago, were revealed by Prof WE Cutler, FGS, in a lecture at the University of Manitoba Friday night.

Prof Cutler leaves Winnipeg Monday for German East Africa, where he will lead an expedition seeking the remains of dinosaurs who lived there aeons ago.

In his discourse the speaker deplored the lack of a provincial museum for Manitoba. Rare and valuable fossils he said, were continually being discovered in the province, and the museums of the United States were getting them.

Vegetarians saurian of the period about 4000000 BC were described by the Professor, who used numerous slides in illustrations.  His investigations revealed the fact that walnut, oak, fig and sassafrass once flourished abundantly in Alberta.

Relics Reveal History – WE Cutler, 1924

Fossil Relics Reveal History

Western Canada Enjoyed Balmy Climate 12,000 Years Ago, Says Geologist

Perfect forms of fossil [illegible] relics of ages long past, when Western Canada knew a climate much warmer than the vigorous one of today were exhibited to members of the Canadian Credit Men’s Association at their weekly luncheon today.

They were part of a collection accumulated by WE Cutler, member of the staff of the University of Manitoba, and Fellow of the London Geological Society.  He was the speaker at the luncheon and his talk attracted intense interest.  The fossil figs were found by him in the Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan.

There is no doubt, according to Mr Cutler, that from 12000 to 20000 years ago the Cypress Hills and also Alberta, were fruit bearing territory.  Not only figs grew there then, but also the accompanying plants.

During his researches in Saskatchewan and Alberta Mr Cutler unearthed large collections of dinosaur teeth and skulls of prehistoric animals, which he sent to the British museum.  These relics, he said, date back to the Old Oligocene age.

The Cypress Hills are a remnant of beds that covered the whole west before they were swept away.  He was not prepared to say in just what manner these beds were swept away but, in all probability, it was done by water.

“Until the later discoveries in Mongolia, Alberta it is said, was one of the richest fields in the world for searching for the remains of these ancient animals,” the speaker stated.

Mr Cutler will leave Canada shortly for England to take charge of an expedition which is being sent by the British Museum to recover dinosaurs, larger than any others unearthed in South Africa.  He has not yet received definite word from England and could not give the exact date upon which he would sail.

Mr Cutler declared that Greenland once had a much warmer climate.  It was never tropical, no more than the climate of Western Canada, but it was very warm.  The coal beds there and also in the Red Deer district of Alberta, he said, were evidence of this.  He explained that the currents of ocean govern the climate entirely.  The currents pushing north made this country cold.
