Remarkable Animal for Seattle Fair.

A curious image in stone, OF an
animal with the head of a hog and
horns like sheep, has been un-
covered by workmen building a
railroad near Underwood. Wash,
and will be exhibited at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposi ion,
which is to be held at Seattle in
1909.
The image is in some ways the
most remarkable thing OF the
sort ever discovered, and promises
to rival in the interest it arouses
Barnum's famous fake, the Car
diff giant. But the image is real.
1t doesn't pretend to be a perth
fication OF anything, and it
couldn't very well, for, as far as
is known, no such animal as a
hog-sheep ever lived. 1t was
carved out of solid basalt rock.
and is hard as iron.
The image is about two feet
high, and probably originally was
rather taller, as it evidently has
been broken off at the bottom.
Edward Underwood, who dis
covered it, pionier of 1858, be-
lieves the thing was made by
Indians who formerly camped at
the mouth of the White Salmon
river, near which it was found.
Engineers who have examined
the curiosity declare. however,
that it's antiquity is so great as to
make this impossible. Further
more the Indians made their
images not of stone, but OF wood,
The engineers believe the hog
sheep of basalt was in some re-
mote age the hgure-head of a
galley, or some other boat.
Underwood has been offered a
large sum for the curiosity bu,
