OREGON FOSSILS.
DIR. Thomas Condor Writes of Pre-
historic Seal

The last issue of the University of
Oregon Bulletin is devoted to an ac-
count of new seal fossil by Professor
Thomas Condor. the venerable pale
ontclogist of the Pacific coast, says
Eugene dispatch.
The fossil is catalogued as Dermato-
phoea Oregonensis and is of interest TO
geologists all over the world as being
the oldest fossil of its kind ever dis
covered and is especially important
since It goes far to substantiate the
theory that certain marine carnivora.
like the seal family. took their origin
from terrestrial carnivora of the dog
family or its ancestors. The opinion
of Huxley and Mivart that seals are
derived from bears is practically de-
stroved by the new fossil seal. since It
was discovered i'm n miocene formation
of sandstone much older than any
known formation containing bear fol-
sils.
The bulletin containing Professor
Condon's discovery will be sent to
scientists throughout the country and
will constitute the most important
contribution to paleontology of the
last 10 years.

Afternoon Sales,
GOOD BLACKSMTTHING COAL.
Discovered Near Haycreek. In Crook
County.

The Madras Pioneer has the follow
ing to say of an important discovery.
McElroy & Sons, blacksmiths a.
this place, are using coal from Crook
county mines in their shop. and they
pronounce it as good for their purpose
as the coal which they have been
hauling in from the railroad. The
coal comes from the recent coal pros
pect discovery five miles southeast
from Haycreek, where large amount
Of prospect work Is under way. Pros
pect holes have been sunk at different
points and 1t is claimed that coal has
been uncovered for a distance Of five
miles. Work is being concentrated
now at a point five miles southeast of
Haycreek, and two shifts are kept at
work.
Should these coal measures be found
to be as extensive as has been report
ed, the discovery will be Of immense
importance to Crook county, and in
fact to this section of the state. It Is
claimed that the ledge of coal Is fully
five feet in thickness and that 1t has
been followed for a distance of five
miles. All tests made of the coal have
proved highly satisfactory, although
these tests have so far necessarily been
confined to coal taken from near the
surface. The McElroys had about
1900 pounds of the coal brought over
to them and during the week there
have been numbers of visitors to their
shop, to see them use the Crook coun-
ty coal in their blacksmith work.

ter under advisement and will decide
before the trial is ended.
The contention made by Attorneys
Chance and Hyde for the defendant is
that the Indictment Is defective for
the reason that II does not include all
the names of the compalnants when
those names We're within the knowl-
edge Of the grand jury or the witnesses
before the grand jury,
The first indictment against Mar
cum was dismissed on about the same
grounds for the instrument did not
contain the names of the members OF
the Bourne Miners union. a mutual
association not incorporated. District
Attorney Lomax then took the case
before the grand jury and new In
dictment was returned containing the
names of about a dozen officers and
members Of TIE union.
When the case was called this morn
ing and Treasurer Manz of the union
was on the stand, District Attorney
IomaX asked him as to the number
of members of the union. Here the at
torneys for the defense asked a few
questions and ELECTED from Manz that
he. MANI, knew the names of all the
members of the union or had access
to them. The defense then moved
that the indictment be quashed as 1t
was defective on that ground.
The court took the motion under
consideration saying he would pass
hot t.i, nj
trict Attorney Lomax then proceeded
to show that the membership of the
union was continually changing.
