THE BAD LANDS.
Strange Sights Along the Line of the

Mo-, 1903

Strange Sights Along the Line OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
The DALLEs, Nov. 4, 1895.
Editor TIMES Es-MoUNTAINEER.
After passing through the Gallatin
valley and leaving Glendive the
traveller along the line of the Northern
Pacific is treated to view of some
strange formations, known as Bad
Lands. They are properly named, for
one cannot conceive of anything more
forbidding or detrin entail to settle
ment, and apparently it would be i'm
possible for anything animated to live
in or upon them. For miles they
stretch on either side of the railroad
track, and consist of mounds, large
and small, somewhat resembling the
domes of Mohammedan temples. The
formation is strata of red clay, inter-
spersed with veins of coal. In CONVEX
sation with resident, the opinion was
advanced that the queer shape was
given by the spontaneous combustion
of the layers of coal, which, burning
out, left the mounds in the jagged
shape they now are. OF course, in
some previous age of the world, there
must have been glacial action or water
courses to wash out the deep gullies,
so that the hills were left, before ex-
posure to the elements caused the
combustion. 1t may be contended
that spontaneous combustion of coal
seams or other igneous substances
cannot only result from heat generated
by the coal being covered and not ex-
posed to the air. Be this as it may,
the clearly defined mosque-shaped
mounds demonstrate that some active
agency had been at work only in places,
or the contour of the ground would
not have had the unique appearance
each mound completely segregated
from the other-that they now have.
Water confined will produce upheav-
ais, the same as gases-according to
Prot. Winchell's theory of volcanoes
and heat will destroy: but to either
wear channels or create mounds.
there must be vent. But this question
we will leave to geologists, who may
reason abstrusely from purely scientific
bases.
The Bad Lands always claim the at
tention of the tourist, and are such
phenomenon that will repay any one
making the trip over the Northern Pa
cific. But along the Yellowstone val
ley, in the midst of the Bad Lands,
there Is good grazing land, and count
less herds of cattle range there during
the year. After feasting ones vision
on this strange phenomena, he is
hurried through Montana to Dakota,
where the bonanza farms claim his at
tention, which, with the permission of
the editor, shall treat of in future
article. Ex.

ALMOST A FIRE.
Caused by Dropping Lighted Lamp This
Morning.

Morning.
The alarm of fire Saturday about
4 A. NJ. was caused by small blaze
in Epstein's tailor shop, next door to
George Ruchs' grocery. Epstein had
an .overcoat to finish for one of the
showmen, 'and got up early for the
purpose Of working on it. Lighting a
small hand-lamp. he was preparing to
go to work when in some manner the
lamp slipped from his hands and fell
to the floor. The oil ran out and
caught fire. Epstein ran in the back
room and grabbed blanket with
which he tried to smother the flames
but fearing he would not be successful
ran to the door and gave the alarm.
He again set to, work getting the blan-
ket over the flames and throwing water
on it, and before the fire engine ar
rived he had the blaze extinguished.
The side OF the counter and the floor
were pretty well charred. and it was
pretty close call for the building.

The Portlanders Not in IL.

The football game played in Port
land last Saturday between the Reli-
ance team of Oakland, Calf. and the
Multnomah clubs team resulted in a
complete wipe-out of the latter, the
score being 40 to 0. The Reliance
team was much heavier than the Multi
nomah, and their playing was superior
in every respect. The Oregonians,
however, concede that the Californians
played square game and that the
home team was simply out played.

A STRAY MAsTODoN.
Big Bones Found on Mr.. southwell's
Place Near The Dalles.

Big Bones Found on Mr. southweI's
Place Near The Dalles.
Mr.. John Southwell brought some
fossils to town Saturday that are
monsters. The specimens were found
in bank of blue clay on his place on
Ten mile creek, about two months ago.
The creek had cut down through the
clay bank, and the bones were exposed
at depth Of about eight feet. One of
the specimens was horn five inches
across the base, about foot long and
slightly curved. The other was the
h1p-bone, showing the joint and about
18 inches of the bone. 1t had been
broken in getting it out but was glued
together. The joint measured foot
across. Mr.. Southwell says he has the
ankle bones, which are in much bet
ter state OF preservation, at home, and
that when spring comes and the
ground gets softened, he will dig out
the balance, of the skeleton. It is a
monster, sure, and if it could be gotten
out and the bones all put together it
would be quite curiosity. With the
meat on those bones there would be
enough to start cannery, and the
bones themselves would run a Chicago
free-soup house for a whole winter.
just what the big animal was doing
around this country at the compare
lively recent date his shallow grave
indicates would be hard to guess,
though it is probable he had heard of
the superior bargains he could get
from our Dalles merchants and had
come in from the John Day country
after his winter clothing. OF course
If his trunk could be found the, evil
dence would be stronger, but as it is,
it is only guess work. One thing is
certain, and that is that he deposited
bis bones in a Wasco county bank,
and they were safe.

Mr.. Cone agrees to keep the peace, at

Charley Fairs gasoline yacht Lucero,
built on the Sound, started for San

Frank Malone, Of Antelope, was

Of his legs being broken and hip dis
located in the fall. Our informant,
Mr.. Wiley, says he was getting along
nicely when he left Antelope Thurs
day morning.
There was fine rain last night that
when it first began, with the clouds
sweeping up from the southwest, gave
promise of being the regular fall
soaker. The weather clerk changed
his mind though, and t-ls morning
the sun rose in cloudless sky.
Only few weeks ago the Hood
River fair managers advertised among
other things, baby show. This
proved very attractive feature OF the
fair, and it was announced that an
other would be held next year. We
notice In today's Glacier the record of
four births; and yet some people pre-
tend to think that advertising doesn't
pay. s@ .iit fSo
The sheepmen held Q meeting at
Antelope couple Of weeks ago to dis
cuss the question Of offeringa bounty
for coyote scalps. The meeting was
we'll attended, and it was agreed that
II the county court, which has been
petitioned in the matter, will offer q
bounty OF 81 each for coyote scalps,
the stockman would add another dollar
to the bounty. To meet this expense
3 tax OF half cent will be collected
