OREGON FOSSILS.
The Wonderful Museum or Buried
Prehi st0ric World in the John
Day Region.

The John Day region in Oregon was
the scene of the Pfincetown University
expedition last summer, and as result u
grand collection of fossils was obtained.
From thd Blue mountains west of the
Cascades the country is great volcanic
plateau, made up Of lava sheets piled one
upon the another and indicating ancient
volcanic outbursts upon stupendous
scale, In comparison with which such
events ut Etna and Vesuvius are the
merest pigmies. Through this mass of
lava the streams, aided by the atmosphere,
have cut deep valleys, some or them
broad and open, Others deep, narrow
gloomy canyons.
This country is very dry, but the soil
isexcellent, and when irrigated produces
well, the vegetables and fruit being of
particularly fine quality. Great acres
that are ard sage brush deserts will one
day be turned into fertile farms by means
of artesian wells, and the mild climate
will insure success. Al present the great
industry is wool raising. The enormous
bands of sheep utterly destroy the grass
of the country over which they range, till
it looks as If plague of locusts had
visited it.
The scientific attraction in the John
Day region ls the vast assemblage Of fos-
sill animals which are entombed in the
rocks there. Theentire district was in
former geological age the bed of great
fresh water lake, into which the streams
brought masses of sand and mud. and
volcanoes sbowered cindcrs and ashes.
Animals which were swept into the lake
in times of flood became covered with
salt, and as the latter was in the course of
ages consolidated into rock, the bones of
the victims were gradually petrifed and
thus indefinitely preserved. Now the
rock is slowly disintegrated by the action
of the rain, snow and frost, and the bones
exposed to view or washed out entirely,
For the most part, however, the speci
mems must be cut out with pick, ham
mer and chisel, very la5orions process,
as the rock is extremely hard and the
blazing summer sun makes the face of
white cliff anything but an ideally COM
Portable place.
Could We produce view of that ancient
Oregon when the John Day lake existed
we should find ourselves in q very strange
animal world; little three toed horses, no
larger than donkeys, rhlnoceros, camels,
peccariesta great assemblage of large
and fierce cat-like, dog like, hyena like
ahimals-not to mention hosts of little
rabbit and squirrel like creatures. The
animals of this time were all rather small,
the largest being the entelodon, beast,
not unlike the hippopotamus IN size and
general appearance. As the list shows,
this assembage has a very Oriental char
acter. The climate was perhaps rather
milder than at present and the forests. of
which the leaf beds on Bridge creek gave
ample illustration, were like those now
found in the warmer parts of the United
States. This wonderful museum of
buried world has been sealed up by the
subsequent lava floods, and is accessible
on the sides of the canyons and valleys,
where the streams have cut down through
the overlying volcanic masses.

His Wonderful Adventures.

HC VI tAITfCd-A rev BOOK
His Wonderful Adventures.
Henry NJ. Stanley stands now as the
greatest explorer and adventurer the world
has known. He is the hero of the most
remarkable discoveries in all the records
of daring and explorations.
Emin Pasha was wandering somewhere
in the tropical wilderness, and struggling
to hold the country of which he was
ruler. Stanley hastens to the rescue. lie
yanishes from the sight of the civilized
world; months and seasons pass, and
still no news from Stanley.
After untold privationS and amazing
trlumphs, he emerges from the wilds of
the Lark Continent accompanied by
Emin Pasha. In his last great triumph
he has put the climax upon all his pre-
vious explorations and victories.
His adventures and discoveries have
been grand, wonderful and marvellous.
The full and authentic accounts will be
related in the new genuine Stanley book,
rom his first entrance into Africa, and
richly illustrated with over 400 of the
grandest and most wonderful new en-
cravings and colored plates ever seen in a
book of travels. The History Company,
723 Market Street, San Francisco, Cal,
are the publishers. The book will be
sold by subscription only. Agents are
wanted to sell the book, TO whom most
liberal inducements will be offered on
application. We call attention to the ad.
vertisement in another column.

Hon. Binger Hermann says he does
not expect to get an appropriation
this congress for the irrigation of
arid lands. He says the east is SO
bitterly opposed to any expenditure
of the public money that it is very
likely the bill will be defeated. The
New England and Middle states have
all the development of their natural
resources desired, and they are de-
termined to oppose any effort for gov

favor of liberal River. and Harbor

will benefit their constituencies; but
they always find arrayed against them

IMPORT DUTY ON WOOL.

Whenever tariff questions are under
discussion, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, it is natural for the repre-
sentatiyes of each industry to imagine
that their particular industry is pivot
around which the whole protective
system should revolve, or, to change
the figure, that their industry is the
foundation upon which the whole su
perstructure of protection should be
reared. This fact, which is often lost
sight of, accounts for the vast differ
ence in tariff suggestions which ema
nate from different people, each of
whom wants to see the tariff adjusted
so as to meet his special needs or
wants, and after that is done is per-
fectly willing to let the rest of it be
adjusted as the party having it in
charge may think best.
This was illustrated recently by the
appeal made to the ways and means
committee by carpet manufacturer
of Philadelphia. He argued that
wool-srowers of the United States
would not and could not produce the
quantity of carpet wool used in that in
dustry, because, while they received
$l.50 for the fleece of fine wool sheep,
they would not receive 25 cents for
that of coarse wool sheep. The cor
ollary of his proposition was that wool
should Le put on the free list becau
the carpet manufacturing industry
would thereby be benefited, although
the wool-growing industry of the
United States as q whole would be
ruined.
William Whitman, of Boston, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers, seemed to have
about as clear an idea of the situation
as any one who appeared before the
committee. He said that under no
circumstance would free wool enc BILE
American manufacturers to make An
impression on foreign markets. He
thought that free wool would stimu-
late production and give manufactur-
ers a chance to displace foreign pro-
ducts here, but he also thought that
the effect of free wool would be to di-
minish the price of wool, and conse-
quently to discourage the sheep raisers.
John F. Plummer, of New York,
said that the country is suffering under
the popular prejudice that better
clothes can be got abroad than here at
the same price. He declared that there
was no country where man could get
as good a suit of clothes for as little
money as in the United States
1t will be the duty of the ways and
means committee and of congress, SO
far as may he possible, to protect all
the industries and interests which
have an immediate connection with
wool. In the nature of things some of
these will not be satisfied, but il the
greatest good to the greatest number
is secured, no one will have any right
to complain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Senator Nit
chel's bill appropriating $l5O,OOO for a
public building at The Dalles, aud Sena-
tor Dolph's bill appropriating $1,000
for public building at Salem, have been
agreed to by the committee on public
buildings and grounds, and will be re-
ported favorably without amendment.
Senator Mitchell introduced to-day q
bill which legalizes the testimony taken
before either q register or a receiver of a
land office, if either official is dead, sick
or unable to De preseat at the hearing.
The secretary OF the interior will not ap-
prove land claims under the law as it now
stands. The senator's attention was
called to the matter by the death of one
of the officers OF the land Office at La
Grande, Or, where about fifty proofs
were made before a single officer, but
they could not be perfected on account
of the vacancy. The law is designed to
cover this case, but applies to the whole
country.
