COVERED WITH HETEROGENEOUS
Series of Pictures Three Miles Long
an Oregon Bluff.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 11-W. B. White
more, while in Alturas recently, told the
Plaindealer of some remarkable hieroglyphics
or picture-writing discovered about fifteen
miles northeast from the north end of War
ner valley on the edge of what is locally
known as the desert in Lake countv
Mr.. Whittemore is one of the officers and
principal owners Of the Warner Valley Stock
company and is thoroughly conversant with
the locality. He says the hieroglyphics have
been cut with some sharp instrument in the
surface Of the hard basaltic rock and are
perfectly plain to be seen. They cover the
face Of the bluff for a distance of about three
miles and consist Of pictures Of Indians with
bows, arrows and spears, besides deer an
telope dogs and wolves, geese, ducks swan
and reptiles Of various kinds. Intermingled
with these animals characters which of
course, he could not decipher. Mr. White
more says the execution of the pictures is
very good and he is satisfied it could not
have been the work of ordinary Indians
Throughout the entire distance the characters
of pictures in rows.
The Indians Of the vicinity have no knowI-
edge Of the meaning of the hierogyphics or
of the people who ages ago chiseled them on
the surface of the rocks. One old Indian
said there was tradition among his neoDIe
that many ages ago people came there who
were very bad. They remained for a long
time and went anywhere he knew not
Now the question arises, Who were these
strange, bad people? They were not as Mr.
Whittemore says, ordinary Indians for their
knowledge of sculpture could never have
enabled them to execute the pictures so re-
markably true to nature. From the descrip-
ton given the picture writing Bears a close

Prosecuted TREATER HAT.
Minneapolis Aldermen Say 1t Must

The more sanguine predict the speedy
doom Of the theater hat in MinneapO-
lis. They base their beliefs upon the
proposed proposition Of Alderman Cur
rier to class the elaborate pieces Of
head-gear being worn at present in
various places of amusement without
thought of dismantling as culpably
criminal. The ordinance will be intro
duced at an early meeting Of the coun-
Gil. AS far as learned it will likely be
modelled after the Chicago ordinance,
the non-removal of a hat being a mis-
dcmeanor for which the proprietor of
the place will be held responsible. Those
who persist in an infraction of the
measure will suffer unceremonious
arrest and pay a fine not to exceed
$25 and not to be less than S. for
each offence. It is not improbable that
imprisonment will be prescribed for
obstinate and continuous disregard for
the law. 1t is understood that a major

There was some little excitement at mar

cause why these parties should not be Joined

his peace" brother of the groom stood up,

become alarmed at the outlook.

could be found telling of similar
weather in years gone by. We
hunted long tire-.about eight
hours-but rot in vain, for we
came across a paper published in
November, 1855, which went on to
say that while few farmers in Barn

before the middle of May, an
excellent crop was made-one of
the best made up to that time. The
corn yield was also excellent.

JOHNS SON'S
CHILL AND
FEVER TONIC
Cures Fever
In One Day.
The objectionable Sin.

Bishop Hugh M. Thompson, of
Mississippi, known widely from
his literary work as one of the
foremost men of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, is conducting
this week the MONDAY Lenten
services at st. Stephens Church,
10th street, above Chestnut. Elo-
quent, yet incisive, his short ser
mons in the middle of the day
have filled the church to over
flowing.
Intellectual in his methods, he
takes, however, vital subjects.
Yesterday he preached on "Salva-
ton" and "Heaven" and relieved
them from triteness by his original
point of view. Salvation, he said
was not freedom from pain, nor did
it come as a reward only upon the
consummation of virtue. 1t was
in the Bishops view, the sense that
one days moral effort was stronger
than that of the dag before, and
began immediately when one had
begun to climb nearer God. Hea.
van was defined as the sense ol
satisfaction coming from right
doing, and the one unpardonable
ain was named despair.
