its own decision ao as to cover the
amount. It waa collected and the pris
oner released and his name put in the
box for the next venire.

hill-sides can be seen in grand review,
farm after fan v as far as the eye can
reach, is covered with fields of waving
grain. The w hole country is hopeful of
a bountiful harvest, made certain by the
late heavy rains. The largest farm is
that of Smith Bros., seven miles south
west of Arlington, consisting of 1,200
acres of as pretty grain as ever was seen.

Written for Tun Chronicle.
In some former articles I have given
a teeble description of the wonders of
the great fossil beda of Eastern Oregon ;
also of the causes which, from all the
evidence handed down to us in these
rocks by the hand of a generous Creator,
have produced these mighty changes
upon all the earth.
The next thing to lie considered is the
time. How long has it been since all
these multitudes of strange beasts wan
dered over the hills and valleys of the
old miocine and pliocine Oregon? In
years there is no way to answer ; but
data has been provided by which we can
determine with certainty that the time
in which man has lived upon at least
thia part of the earth is but a day In
comparison to it.
We will begin with the overthrow of
the wonderful inhabitants that once
constituted the life of the older period,
represented here in the John Day fossil
beds, a land teeming w ith a life of act
ivity by God's creatures, never disturbed
by man. Already we have seen the
causes which changed a beautiful land,
full of life, into one of desolation ; causes
which on a much smaller scale spread
destruction and death upon parts of the
earth today. Mighty rumblings could
have then been heard within the earth ;
fearful earthquakes frightened the crea
tures here, and finally great fissures ap
peared in the face of the land, through
w hich mighty rivers of lava poured out
and overwhelmed them all. During
this great overflow this region was en
velojied in a layer of lava several hun
dred feet in thickness, and in the Cas
cade range of mountains it is shown
that this bed of lava reaches in many
places the enormous thickness of 4,000
to 5,000 feet. In making an estimate,
then, of time, how many years did it
take this mass of molten rock to cool?
Then, again, that these great monu-
ments were here, with their wealth of
remains of countless numbers of what
once made life, there is abundant proof,
as in very many places can be seen
those same fissures, through which the
lavas once poured. These fissures ex
tend for miles, and quite frequently run
directly through the fossil beds. Al
though I have called them fissures, they
are not properly so now, but are called
by geologists dykes. These dykes are
made by the lava left in the fissures,
which on cooling off, was ao much
harder than the other rock that the sur
rounding rock (has worn uway, and in
many places Jin the foesil beds left the
dykes standing up many feet like a solid
wall. These dykes run in various di
rections, just as the earth cracked open
during those awful convulsions, and are
of all widths, from small seams a foot
or less wide, t? forty or fifty feet in
width. One of these larger ones I have
traced from a point five miles north of
the lower end of the John Day valley in
a northwest direction for thirty mileB,
ami ii: thia distance it crossed the river
twice. Ita course ia as Btraight as a line
could lie drawn, ami in places it ia seen
for ten miles standing out like a great
wall. In places ita bight ia forty or fifty
feet.
Now, we have eeen that these fossil
beda were here when tho lava wan
poured out ; also tho great depth of the
lava formation, which I think ia not lea
anywhere In the John Day region, than
1,000 feet in thickness. The eminent
Prof. Helmholz, In making a calculation
as to how long the earth was In cooling;
off from a molten atate, computed that
in cooling from 2,000 to 200 degrees, cen
tigrade, it w ould require the enormous
period of 350,000,000 yeara, and hia cal
culations were based upon the cooling;
of lavas now. Thia being the case, how
many agea must have passed to allow
thia great overflow to cool, and how
long for the fearful internal fires, which
roared beneath the ground we are on, to
die out? Then, after all of this, how
long has It taken for the elements of
nature to wear away the barren rock
and form the soil upon which a new
life is to be brought forth? And how
long this new life has been In existence
none but the Great Ruler may ever
know. L. S. D.
Kind Words from the Glacier.
Governor Pennoyer and State Treas
urer Metschan are again traveling over
Eastern Oregon, hunting for a location
for the insane aylum. The Dalles has,
in our opinion, many points in ita favor,
and with a square deal, we believe, will
be selected. Aa a town it has had hard
luck for tho past few years, and while
its citizens are wide awake, the city
seema to have lost all energy. If it
could slip up on this insane asylum and
capture it, we believe it would infuse
new life into the place and give it cour
age to tackle something else. We hope
sincerely that the governor and treas
urer will locate the asylum on Cheno
weth creek, and we hope ao because we
believe it to be the best site, everything
considered, in the state. Hood River
