Greatest Prehistoric Wonder
Miss Agnes laaaoa lately reoelred
the following letter from her brother
Ueorge. Isaacs of Vancouver, B. C. :
"1 went to aea tb. greatest pre
blstorlo wonder of the world here
in Vanoouver. The bonea weie dis
covered by two Vancouver prospec
tors on one of tbe lalanda of the
Queen Charlotte group up the B. O.
ooaat from tbla oity. Tbey dlaoover
ed tbe bones and brought them to
tbla olty and 1 will give you a tew
of tha dimenalona juac to give you a
alight idea of the Immenaa size of an
animal tbat onoa roamed this north
ern country. Length of ribs 14 feet,
from one bip bone over tbe back o
the other 16 feet. It waa over 1 feet
between tbe eyea, Ita large tuaka
were 18 feet long and i Inches In olr
oamference. The small joints of
its tall were IB lnobea aoroea and
tapered down till the last joint waa 6
lnobea aaruaa, the peoniiar part nf it,
there waa no marrow In the bonea,
they were In layers tbat matobed
nloely and were controlled by large
mnaolea or oorda that passed through
theJarge boles for that purpose. "
I mar aay that tbe bole In the
big tusk where tbe nerve centre was.
was almost large eooogb for me to
atlok my Bst In. The estimate
weight of tbla animal la 15 tsns. esti
mate belghi 30 to 10 leet, eftlaate
length 130 feet"
No aoientieta bare any knowUdge of
tbla animal and tnere Is nothing in
anoient history about him. Thee
prospeotora are going to offer these
bonea to tba highest bidder of any
olty or government for s museum.
ijbey estimate it will ooat 110,000 for
i ateel and work to set the bones ap In

still on exhibition here, "
Tbe mastedon has for many jeara
been tha largest animal known of,
bnt ita dimensions accoordlng to this
one haven't a look In."

Brattle, Feb., 17-As If from tbe
grasp of death three men of tb ship
Uaiily Red, which went ajhore near
Xebalem, Oregon, laat Friday morn
ing pulled aahor at Neab bay tbla
morning In tha sb'p's email boat.
Ibe little Ufa saving oratt waa the
tame that waa (opposed to have been
ewampad when an was swung out
from tb stranded vessel 5 Tb mate's

Arthur Jainubnk and E. Ad-Uteldt
la tb boat waa tbe corps, of the
ship's oook, nam unknown, and si
exhausted were tb urrlvlng mam-
bare of tb boat' cicw that they hid
not strength enough to lift tb boij
over tb rail and cast It mto the
sea,
Wfatn tb Tatooth Uuothouee was
sighted tbe three uea of tue Emily
Reed gathered what littlo atren gth
they bad left and feebly guided tbelr
boat to tba barbor. Uood weather
prevailed or this task would have
been impossible.
The lighthouse keeper at matooih
and U. U, Rand of tb government
weather bureau at Nah are oaring
for the anilore. Tbey were so weak
tbat they could scarcely talk on
reaching shot and bad to be oarrled
by willing hands to the light station
where they were given every atten
tion.
The men will probably be sent to
Seattle this evening by steamer,
where tbey nan reolvo prooer modl
cal attention.
When the baok nf the Reed broke,
the sail boat bad been swung out
from it Mating plaoe on tbe top of
tue forward house. Sou be and fire
men, Including tbe cook JMt tht for
ward part of tbe ship goiug to pieces
and orowded Into the frail oraft.
Tbe captain, bis wife and otber mem-
ers of the crew who bad made their
way aft conld not see what became
of tbe boat for when liubie, tbe oook
and two sailor out of those who suc
ceeded In sticking to her reachrd It
they pulled with the strength of
desperation out or roach of tbe
breakers. Darkntst prevented a
view ot the stranded vessel. .
To avoid Tillauiock Head and the
angerons reefs thereanduts tbe
boat waa beaded out to aea. There
waa no sail In the craft and only by
use ot tbe oara was she kept away
fr3m the shore, tbe eurient aetting
strong toward tb beach. Onoe dear
of dnneer the boat was headed north
ward and by noon fonnd Itself In the
graap of a strong nortnernly gale,
with tbe wind aft and a smooth sea.
From Tillamook 11-ad to Neab bay
la about 200 miles. The boat must
have drifted at a fraotlon over two
miles an boar to bar reached Cape
Flattery In the 78 hours ah waa at
aea. ibe exuauatea sailor woraea
at tbe oara In relays and tb tid
and wind waa luckily In tbelr favor.
Saturday nlgbt a atlft bieeze eprung
up and It waa neoeaaary to work to
point of dropping to keep tbe boat
clear of water. Added to this waa
tb suffering from exposure. Tbe
ind waa biting and nnly by con-
atantly keeping In action war to
aurrlvoia able to wltbatand the
piercing gale.
Sua day morning, according to
Bouce, tbe wind polled up briskly
from tb southwest, Tba mat was
steering and tbe beat drifted with
the wind and tide. The survivors
war huddled (ogiher to keep warm
and no sound earn from the oook,
who lay still in the bottom of the
boat with a tarpaulin thrown over
him. He moat ha died during tbe
nlgbt. Rain fell, drenching the men
but furnished fresb water, Scobe
was atiff with oold and realized tbat
something wnuld have to be don to
keep life.ln the two surviving sailors
be urged them to atir about and do a
little balling, be hlmsellf painfully
managed to keep in action suffioieut
ly to stir bis blood to olronlatlon.
Flatttery was sighted - early this
morning. Scab knew that if tb
boat oould gat around Tatoosh la
safety ab might make the bayns he
bad traveled frequently into Puget
sound and knew bis bearings well
The oara. were again resorted to and
tb boat beaded toward the ahore.
On approaching the beach tb snr
vlvors war algbted by some men on
the shore wno lent them a willing
band to make a landing.

Truck Gardening.
In a recent issue of tbe Portland
Oregonian appears an artiole .replying
partially to an enquiry from a recent
arrival from England conoerning the
status of truck-gardening. Tbe reply
mad by Beoretary Uiltner, of tbe
Portland chamber of eommeroe, la
aigniUoant. He aaya:
" Vegetable raising is an occupation
to which Amertoauedon't take kindly
and eo tbe Industry ia left altogether
to alien and Chinese around Port
land. Tbe olty baa an Insatiable
appetite for vegetable, and altnougb
aunonnaed by a magnificent farming
oountry, we atlll have to import a
large proportion of oar cabbage,
cauliflower, lettuoe, oelery and 'green
peas from California."
Something of the aame condition
exist here, we Import early vege
tables, atrawberries, etc, from Calif
ornia, but later in tbe eeaaon we
have a superabundance. Why not try
for tbat Portland market? We ahould
be abl to compete with tbe Calif
ornia gardeners in qnality on an even
hails, and having tbe advantage of a
shorter haul. Tb shape tbe produoe
reaohe the market ahould cause it to
bring the; top prloe. If tbe people
close to Portland will not make a bid
fot tbe trad against tb aliens and
Chinamen, why not send tbem soma
really edible, orisp vagi, tables from
Southern Oregon!
W will be obaslng tb early let
tuce, radish and oabbag from Cal

have much of a look In.
