Did CAIN, SON

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 27.-That
North America was the Biblical 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 statement
just made by Charles Hallock, Phi. D.,
the famous archaeologist, which he
has filed IN the Peabody Museum Of
Harvard University. DR.. Hallock has
concluded extensive research work
in the klamath region and he found
numerous remains of high civiliza-
ton that fourished at a remote period
of time.
Here. says Prof Hallock, Tubal-
Cain, first artifcer in iron and bronze,
fourished, and Namah, his sister,
granddaughter of Lamech. Eden it.
self, he believes, was located on the
now submerged continent of Tula, Of
which the islands Of Polynesia are
the sole remaining mountain peaks.
This continent was submerged by
the Noachian deluge. At the same
time, the southern portion 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 reside ats 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
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 region
eastward of where Adam and Eve
were born. This place cannot al
present be defined, because only small
parts of it were left unchanged after
the deluge. Let the points and pin
nacls of Polynesia, the islands and
mountain peaks now above water
help US to determine.
"The actual discoveries on the Pa
cific Coast regarding the City oi
Enoch have consisted of bone. stone
and a few metal tools at various lev.
els There are also traces of crude
machinery, as well as inscription:
and photographs on what appear tC
have been temples Only few
bones have been found, and none O
these are in perfect condition, but Il
is evident they are among the oldes
ever discovered.
"The discoveries show that the
whole place formed a great empire
and that many routes extended ou
from the city It is probable tina
the gold was brought up from tn
south. or California, while the onyxe
were probably the agates which ar
found there in great quantities evel
today. The facts indicate the birth
place from which the early inhabi
tants Of North America sprang.
There is seeming proof of Dr. Hal
locks claoms. The "Calaveras skull
was found not more than $50 mile
south Of klamath Falls. This seem
TO determine beyond doubt that hu
man life existed on the Pacific Coas
of an earlier period than had beei
proved elsewhere, based chieny OF
the geological strata. in which IN
skull was found.
A great number of relies and i'm
plements of prehistoric days hav
been found in the klamath regiol
for which the finders have been Who'll
" unable to account. Ancient buria
places have been uncovered and' otne
evidences of a civilization Tar olde

People Of the klamath country hav
taken to reading their Bibles to lear
II DR.. Hallock's discoveries agree wit
the scriptural account of the first peo
ole and are much interested in hi
researches. Search has been starte
for further remains Of the first city
founded when people turned fror
their nomadic life and gathered j
communities.
At Klamath Falls the people ar
planning to put on an old Engls
