Late Thomas Condon Credited
With Discovery.
HONORS ARE CONTESTED
Daughter of Pioneer Geologist
Publishes Pamphlet.
Claims of priority for hrr father in
the discovery of a great body of water
called the Willamette Sound which cov
ered the present site of the city of Port
land to a depth of over 000 feet and
swept southward in an irregular basin
that extended to the foot of Spencer’s
butte, near Eugene, are set forth in n
pamphlet by Ellen Condon MeCornaek,
daughter of Oregon’s famous pioneer
geologist.* Thomas Condon, recently pub
lished by the department of geology of |
the University.
In her treatise, entitled “Contributions !
to the Pleistocene History of Oregon,” j
for which the University conferred a!
master’s degree upon her for the re- j
search work, Mrs. MeCornaek cites re-1
ferences and quotations which tend to!
prove that Dr. Harlan Brctz of the Uni
versity of Chicago has laid claim to the
discovery of geological data for the ex
istence of the Willamette Sound which
in all probability, as set forth by Mrs.
JXcCornaek, were known to Professor
Condon in 1871 when lie published Ids
article iu a non-teghnioal magazine.
Co-incidence Claimed.
Jlretz avers that ( ondon s claim can
not stand on his own presented evidence,
lugmtaiuiug that it was purely a coin
cidence that there was such a submersion
as, lie names in connection with his ob
servations at Willapa bay, Washington.
Granite bowlders, known as erratics to
geologists, scattered over the bed of the
ancient inland sea iii the Willamette val
ley, are some of the evidence around
which Dr. Bret?, postulates liis Willarn
ette Sound, an extensive body of water
practically covering the same area over
which Professor Condon spread his hypo
thetical sound. According to geologists,
these erratics were carried embedded in
icebergs which drifted in from the north
or name from the eastern portion of the
sound through the Gorge of the Colum
bia, since there are no granitic forma
tions west of the Cascades. Professor
Condon did not mention the presence of
Glacier-carried rocks in his classic
which appeared in the Overland Monthly
in 1871, but ill’s. McCornack in her
treatise produces evidence that her fath
er was aware at an early date 6t the im
port which the erratics played in the
evidence of the postulated Willamette
Sound.
Submersion is Post-glacial.
Professor Condon placed the time of
the Pacific coast submersion as jfost*
glaeial. Dr. Rrotz maintains that the
elevated beaches of Oregon belong to the
Satsop formation which, lie says, in his
article in the Journal of Geology, long
antedates the Camplain epoch, the period
of continental depression. Mrs. McCor
naek declares that Dr. Bretz’ stand on
the time question is untenable since the
pre-glacial epochs are recognized as
times of general elevation. Dr. E. J.
Packard, head of the geology department
of the University, also states that Dr.
Bretz introduces a period of mountain
unfolding into the Pleistocene of the
Xorthwest coast which is not in harmony
with scientific opinion which has here
tofore considered this a period of alnfost
horizontal lines.
E F. CARLTON SPEAKS
AT ALUMNAE MEETING
Eugene Superintendent Suggests Need
of Religious Training in
Schools.
The address given -by E. F. Carlton,
superintendent of Eugene schools, and
former assistant state superintendent ol
schools, was the principal feature of tin
meeting of the Association of Collegial*
Alumnae held in the bungalow Saturday
afternoon.
Tn speaking of the educational i rob
leius in Oregon. Mr. Carlton said that
some religious training should he givei
to the student while in school. Mr. Carl
tftu suggested no definite plan in wind
this training could be carried out, bin
he said that few children go to Sunda.v
schools or churches and their religion
training is limited to that which they ge
in their homes.
Air. Carlton in tracing the growth o
the educational system in Oregon, point
<d out that 20 years ago there were fev
■isrh schools in the state that were doini
toll work and the certificate laws wen
ver-v inadequate. Twenty years ago ?>■
‘"Unties were hiring teachers as the;
b eased without any state supervision.
Although Massachusetts is* noted fo
us advancement, according to Mr. Carl
ton, Oregon is farther advanced in man;
Wflys than that state. The disadvantag
',.^e Massachusetts system is that th
‘ 'Id is allowed to go to work after b
^ d years old. Boston alone has lO.ftfn
“iking people who have not finished th
"ushth grade.
PENDLETON PAYS WELL
Salaries for Teachers Range From $1560
to $2400.
Tin- best high school salary schedule
in the state is that used iu the Pendle
ton schools, according to Dean H. D.
Sheldon of the education department,
who has just received a letter from the
Pendleton superintendent of schools, H.
K. Iulow, asking the co-operation of the
l niversity school of education in car
rying out his plan.
l>y this salary schedule teachers in
the Pendleton high schools receive from
SI.“»*>(t. the amount paid a college gradu
ate. with two years teaching experience,
to $2100, the amount paid a teacher
with the same training, but more prac
tical experience. Mr. Inlow expects to
got tht' best teachers in the state for the
Pendleton schools, and has asked the
I nivorsity’s help in finding teachers who
have sufficient experience and initia- I
tive.

“SAVE YOUR EYES”
Is here! And my, the pleased comments
that came in to us this morning—
“Didn’t know it was possible to make
such good-tasting bread”—and hundreds
like it.
Thank You!
Of course, we expected that a largre number of
people would want to buy this new bread.
We didn’t expect, though, that the entire population would
want it right away.
Yet that’s what seems to have happened.
And we’re “much obliged.’’
■ If you’re one of the lew who haven t tried this new bread
yet, do it today—for every minute you put it off you’re miss
ing a real treat.
All »ood grocers have it. Order early—we’re finding it
hard to fill the demand.
