Hess. 1 The Find Described by Jlr. Xose Johnson of this City. Remarks on Other Laud Marks in Eastern Oregon. Praiuie City. Oregon, ( Jan. 4th, 1 S Editor Independent I have been on a voyage of dis covery since leaving the land or my nativity, seeing many things of interest. inter-est. A few diiys since I was piloted by a "Hiucaio" through a blinding snowstorm to a cave, where I saw for the. llrst time a prehistoric animal of which the ancients had no record. Let me give you sonic measurements measure-ments of this strange, "defunct" wonder of Goo'i handiwork. The pelvic bone measures 4 ft. 3 Inches across. From the upper lip to top of bead, 3 ft. I inch. The socket of hip bone is large enough to contain a man's head. The tune at knee is il inches through aud measures from from knee cap to thigh 5 ft. 0 inches long. The foot is as large as a good sized dish pan, while a single tooth weighs 6 1-2 lbs. The skeleton shows that this monster was 19 ft. high and 31 ft. long. One of the tusks (of which I have a piece) has been broken oil, (J ft. from the roots, and measures at the break 21 1-2 inches around. How long ago was it that' the Mastodon roved this "Our U. S, A." living on tropical plants? It must have been long before the watjs of Isabel were builded, and Old Cheops had not been piled up then. Down the John Day river for 60 miles, there are fossil remains of palm trees, ferns and other tropical plauts. Several elephants (in tolerable preservation) have been found in Eastern Oregon. The rhinoceros, camel and moukev have left their imprint here, showing conclusively that this land was once as Central Africa is to day tropical. The mound builders did not know anything about the megatherium, or they would have left a picture of him on the cliffs, etc., as they did other aniiui's, nut resembling the mammoths In the least. Methuselah didn't hunt the mastodon. He only lived 9(19 years; perhaps he didn't havetim'! to hunt small game. Noah, who built the gopher wood ark, 50 x 300 cubits, was mum on the question of megatheriums. He. may have smashed the gang plank, in trying to load them. Perhaps the i fodder was scarce on board and he concluded their room better than those "broad guage" ami 'unclean animals. '' The commandment w;is, 'Take a pair ench but Noah didn't h ive a derrick. So, how could he load such whoppers? The mammoths must have nourished long years before Adam, Eve, and the apple cnisode. Even God himself has not hinted very loud ai to the mnstodon. He tlxed the windpipe of Mi. Whale; perhaps per-haps the megath'M 1 im didn't need fixing but once. "Marvelous are thy ways, Oh! Lord." Hoping all is O. K- with you, I am. Kindly, Mosk Johnson.
