70 THE OLD YEAR
TT & X oTIMAN

Again The ever moving wheels oltipc
naye whirlcd away into eternal space
Twelve shattered fragments of the by gone rear
And on the face oftime's broad dial plate
The figures of the new one now appear,
Farewell old year thine was q reign OF peace,
And wars red hand through all thy time was
stayed,
And clashing cohorts met not In fierce strife,
To shed each others blood in vain attempt
To conquer peace by taking human life.
But fire and food, and fearful wrecks have been
And devastating death hath claimed his own,
And hearts have bled and tasted sorrows blight
And JOY has ruled the hour among the tnrong
Ofmerry maskers. till the morning ii&ht
Pass down oblivion's tide, good bye, Cd year,
Thy records made, thy missions all fulfilled,
And thou hast passed to chase Nth tiree ss hisat
Thy predecessors hasting on for aye,
Losing themselves, and Turing thee 10 endless
night.
Thus it is with mankind, down the long &j%i's
Which buried centuries have trod,"
Up to the hour when thou ddst disappear,
Mankind hath left its impress, and hath passed on
And their successors hail the new born year.
Tins hath it ever been, thus will it ever be,
While suns shall rise 10 light the gladstone ealth,
And move in triumph on from shore to shore,
Till the Archangel rolls the fat forth,
Time was, and is. but time shall be no more

PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC CoAsT.-Thi

PRoGREss OF THE Pacific CoAsT.-This
coast may now be regarded as not only
self-sustaining in the production of
the staples of home consumption, but
as possessing in an eminent degree
such articles of export as command a
ready sale in foreign markets. This
success was hardly dreamed of few
years ago by the most enthusiastic pio-
neer. California was regarded as the
land of gold, where pile" could be
speedily amassed that would astonish
the folks at home; Oregon was an un-
explored region where people might
possibly live to the age Of Methuselah,
but the mind was distracted by grave
doubts as to whether ordinary risks OF
mortality were not preferable to the iso-
olation and hardships and dangers Incl
dent to frontier life; and the rich mines
of Nevada and the exhaustless supply of
timber and coal for which our own Terri
tory has become SO famous, were secrets
of the future. But with every acces-
sion to the population of the Coast
came a corresponding change in adap-
tation, or rather development of its re-
sources, until we find the wheat crop of
California the present year aggregating
a million tons, seven-tenths of which is
available for export. The yield in Or
egon is quite as large in proportion to
the extent of acreage under cultivation,
and the partially developed resources Of
our Territory are sufficient to base the
brightest expectation of future great
ness. Itwould be interesting to forecast
the condition twenty years hence, ii
our progress in the future keeps pace
with the advancement of the past two
decades. What may we not have been
accomplished under similar conditions
of prosperity?

4 WIDE nelu OF observation 1Or the arena
ologist is afforded in Stevens county. The
former accounts of a discovery of the bones
of an unknown animal of immense proper
tions, are fairly eclisped by the more recent
reports from that district. A letter dated
the Goth ult., at Rosalia, published in the
Union says:
1--WE found some large bones few days
ago. We have taken out the head of the I'M
known animal, or the upper part of the
head. 1t is as sound as can be. 1t weighs
about 800 pounds. 1t measures between the
eyes 81 inches, hetween the ears so inches
from the back Of the head to front of nose,
3 feet inches. The teeth are 3X6 inches, and
are four in number. We found it in spring
that we have used the water out of since We
came here. Tie spring is about 20 feet in
depth. When We discovered the bones we
got grapnels made and men to haul out the
bones, bus we found that that would not do,
SO we started to ditch it. We expect to have
| 1t ditched and the bones out in 8 days" The
letter was written by VIM. and T. F. Dona-
hoe, who have lived on Pine Creek, Whit
man county, en- section CD. township 90,
| North of Range 43 East, since December
1871. Letters received from other parties
confirm their statement. One of the COplen
brothers, who found the big bones near
Hangman's creek, several miles nOrthcrly
from the last reported discoveries, writes to
his brother here that he has found the head
of an animal in an imperfect state of preser-
walton, and has taken the dirt away from it
sufficiently to enable him to determine that
the skull is about two and a half feet wide
by four feet long. 1t has one tusk attached,
much flattened. 1t had two tusks or horns
but one is destroyed. The upper jaw has
four teeth, two on each side, two and a half
inches wide by four inches long. The under
jaw which they have found, has four teeth,
two on each side, about the same size as the
upper teeth The last skull found by the
Coplen's, as well as the one found by the
Donahoe's, differ from the jaw bones which
have been on exhibition here, in having four
teeth, two on each side. The ones exhibited
have only one tooth on each side of the jaw.
1t is evident that some time before the flood
or since, the Mammoth. Mastodon, Elephant,
and other game ranged through the present
bunch covered regions north of the Snake
river. Prof. Condor could make pleasant
bone exploring trip to that portion Of the
country.

Tha.-strippod of verbiage-there is
discernab,e some foundation for the
theory, most people will admit, and if
half the wonders narrated are true, the
separation of the rays of the prismatic
spectrum and the assignment to each
color it's specific object or Office, will
become one of the absorbing occupa-
tons of the age. Who knows but that
the secret of health and longevity, or
the essence of perpetual youth, may not
be derived from the colors of the rain
bow!
