NEW YORK, March 24.-lnaI
North America was the Biblical Land
of Nod and that it's first city, Enoch,
founded by Cain, son of Adam, was To-
Gated in the klamath Lake country of
southern Oregon, is the statement just
made by Charles Hallock, Phi. D., the
archaeologist, which he has filed in
the Peabody Museum of Harvard
University. DR.. Hallock has conclud-
ed extensive research work in the
klamath region and he found many
remains of a high civilization that
flourished at remote period.
Here, says Prof. Hallock, Tubal-
Cain, first artifier in iron and bronze,
he believes, was located on the now
submerged continent of lula, of
which the islands of Polynesia are
the sole remaining mountain peaks.
This continent, according to DR..
Hallock's view, was submerged by the
Noachian deluge, and at the same
time the southern part of South
America arose from the sea, the sub
sidence of the other continent caus-
ing a corresponding bulge, equalizing
land surfaces. DR.. Hallock says:
MANY of the residents of Enoch
were 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 a communal settle
Tnif @f to
tive of the second generation of the
human race, was born outside of the
garden. Eden lay in a region eastward
of where Adam and Eve were born.
This place cannot at present be de-
fined, because only small parts of it
were left unchanged after the deluge.
Let the points and pinnacles of Poly
nesia, the islands and mountain peaks
now above water, help up to deter
mine.
THE actual discoveries on the Paci-
fic coast regarding the city of Enoch
have consisted of bone, stone and a
few metal tools at various levels.
There are also traces of crude ma
chinery, as we'll as inscriptions and
photographs on what appear to have
been temples. Only a few bones have
been found, and none of these is in
perfect condition, but it is evident
they are among the oldest ever dis
covered.
"The discoveries show that the
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 today
The facts indicate the birthplace OF
the people from which the early in.
habitants of North America sprang.
The "Calaveras skull" was found
not more than $50 miles south of Kla.
math Falls. This seems to determine
beyond doubt that human life existed
on the Pacific coast at an earlier pc.
Rod than had been proved elsewhere
based chiefly on the geological strata
in which the skull was found.
A great number of relics and nipple
ments of prehistoric days have been
found in the klamath region fol
which the finders have been wholly
unable to account. Ancient burial pla
ces 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 te
| learn if DR.. Hallocks discoveries
agree with the Scriptural accounts Of
| the first people, and they are much in
! terested in his researches. Search has
been started for further remains Of
the first city, founded when people
turned from their nomadic life anC
gathered in communities.
At klamath Falls the people are
planning to put on an old English ex
