It is sup posed to be the hip bone of a masto don or of a mammoth and accord ingly to have lain in its present hid ing place some thousands of years. It is ponderous in its measurements that the ordinary person is not pre pared to believe the description of it until the great bone has been actually seen. The socket into which the immense thigh bone of this prehistoric quadruped fitted, is declared to be full two feet across, and possibly a few inches more than two feet.. At the widest part the bone is six feet across. Its length is ten feet. No estimate of its weight was obtainable because a portion of the bone was still buried in the river bank and could not be seen. , The size, of course, denotes the beast of which it was once a part to have been an animal of pro digious proportions such an one probably that were he to stalk abroad in the land these days would clean out the hop yards or depopu late the towns with one . glance at his towering form or one snort from his migbty snorter. The bone was found - by a party of men who were engaged in rafting cord wood from Ingram' s island to Corvallis. The caving of the river bank had uncovered several feet of it. which caught the eye of George Harrington, Its peculiar shape denoted that it might be a bone, and he and a companion in a boat rowed up to the spot and with an axe chipped out pieces of the fibre. It turned out to be a bone structure in excellent state of pre servation, only the outer surface be ing discolored and slightly decayed with age. - When the pieces had been chipped out and the character of the object discovered, Harring ton and his companion rejoined the. rafting gang, expecting to return to the spot later and remove their find. ,. The spot where the find was made is what was until recently the dry bed of the river. A long time ago it had been the chief channel, but with the lapse of time the river had passed into another channel, which has now become the main river.; Last winter there was a consider able wash at the spot where te bone has rested so long, and the bank has repeatedly caved into the deep water below. The point where the bone rested, was twelve feet be low the surface. The soil is a heavy clay. The indications are such that George Harrington believes the other bones of the great ani mal are buried at the same spot. The direction in which", the big hip bone rested would seem to indicate that the bones of the forward por tion ot the body and the head yet remain in the bank beyond where the other bone rested. It is the purpose of Mr. Harrington to re turn to tne spot and make excava tions, which can be easily done by reason of the deep water just off the bank. If the other bones of the huge skeleton could be unearthed, I the find would take on an extremely interesting character. Even with out them, the prodigious size , of the present bone makes an obiect of sufficient interest that everybody would like to see it. An incident in connection with the find is that the bone has been surreptitiously removed, and its present whereabouts are not known After making the discovery, Har rington told of it to several persons. 1 ne cook tor tne party was among those who listened to the tale. He resigned before the raft of cord wood reached Corvallis, and return ea up tne river, tie told a man with whom he rode about the bone, and that he was going to dig it out It has since been digged out, but whether it was done by the cook or by someone else, . is not known An investigation is to be made by the finders. The future develop ments especially if there are further excavations, will be watched with much interest. At one time mammoths and mas- todons existed in abundance all over the earth. Both were of the elephant species1, and the mastodon in particular 'if not the mammoth was of larger size. The mammoth was an arctic animal and flourished particularly during the glacial per lod when what are now the temper are regions were a land of snows ice and glaciers. Two coatings of nair. one short and wooly and the outer and longer coat furnished protection against the extreme cold of the time The remains have been found in more abundance in northern Siberia than elsewhere, There a traffic in fossil mammoth tusks has been carried on ever since the 10th century. It is estimated that at times this traffic has reached a proportion where 100 pairs of mammoth tusks were put into com merce in the shape of combs 'and other articles every year. The tusks were of ivory and generally nine or ten feet in length. . The mastodon was a larger ani mal than the mammoth. It exist ed from what is known to geolog ists as the Miocene to the Pleisto cene period . Its remains have been found in great abundance in America, three differing species having been discovered. A com plete remains was found a year or two ago in Colorado, in which the contents of the stomach were fossilized and the character of the food taken by the animal de termined by scientists. In the leaves that were in this prehistoric stomach there were fossilized lines that showed the foliage ot the time to have been different from that of the present day. Like the mam moth the mastodon had great ivory tusks that must have made the great creatures objects of terrible mien. The dispatches' about a year sgo reported the finding in Alaska of the complete carcass ot a mammoth which had been frozen in the ice ages ago, but which had been uncovered by the slow action of the glaciers or in some other way. in oiDeria, there is a tradi tion that the mammoth lived by burrowing in the ground and that whenever it came to the surface it died. The legend is only one of many of the same kind that are cur rent in the region, where skeletons of the ancient animals are so abundant, For Sale Household goods, including large chiffonier, couch, organ, ex tension table and etc. Must be sold soon.

He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. . That being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in- vested, like buving seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars. For sale by Graham & Wortham. Do you shave yourself?
