THE LAND OF NOAH.
1t Was Founded by Cain in Southern
Oregon, Says This Scientist.

That North America was the Bibli :
cal Land of Nod and that its first
city. Enoch, founded by Cain, son of
Adam, was located in the klamath
Lake country of Southern Oregon, is
the statment just made by Charles
Halloek, Ph.D., the archaeo ogis ,
which he has filed in the Peabody
Museum of Harvard University. DIR.
Hallock has concluded extensive re,
search work in the Klamath region
and he found many remains of high
civilization that fourished at d re-
mote period.

the now submerged continent of Tula,
of which the island of Polynesia are
the sole remaining mountain peaks.
The continent, according to DR..
Halioek's view. was submerged ny the
Noachian deluge. and at the same
time the southern part of South
America arose from the sea, the sub
stltute of the other continent, causing
a corresponding bulge. equalizing land
surfaces. DR.. Hallock says:
Many of the residents of Enoch
We're presumably refugees from Tula
at the time of the Noachian deluge.
The region about Enoch was known
through tradition as the Land of
Peace and was communal settle
ment. Cain, son of Adam. represen-
tative of the second generation of the
human race, was born outside of the
garden. which was in Eden, after the
expulsion. Eden lay in a region east
ward of where Adam and Eve were
born. This place cannot at present
be defined, because only small parts OF

deluge. Let the points and pinnacles

tain peaks now above water help us

The actual discoveries on the
Pacific coast regarding the city oi
Enoch have consisted of bone, stone
and few metal tools at various levels.
There are ALSO traces of crude MAJ
chinery, as well as inscriptions and
photographs on what appear to have
been temples Only few bones have
been found, and none of these is in

they are among the oldest ever dis
covered.
THE discoveries show that tie
whole place formed a great empire
and that many routes extended out
from the city. 1t is probable that the
gold was brought up from the South,
or California, while the onyxes were
probably the agates which are found
there in great quantities even todaH.

The "Valaveras skull was found
not more than $50 miles south Of
klamath Falls. This seems to detcr-
mine beyond doubt that human life
existed on the Pacific coast at an
earlier period than had been proved
else where, based chiefly on the
geological strata in which the skuli
was found.
A great number of relics and inn
plements of prehistoric days have
been found in the klamath region, for
which the finders have been wholly
unable to account. Ancient burial
places have been uncovered and other
evidences of a civilization far older
and higher than that developed by the
American Indian.
People of the Klamath country have
taken to reading their Bibles to learn
of DIR. Hallock's discoveries agree with
the Scriptural account of the first peo-
pie, and they are much interested in
his researches. Search has been start
ed for further remains of the first city
founded when people turned from their
nomadic life and THE Land of Nod. .
