RIGHT OR WRONG.
Complaint is made by visiting
sportsmen concerning the strin
gency of the game tresspass laws
of Oregon and the question pre
sents itself: Which is the best?
Shall every Tom, Dick and Harry,
no matter from whence they come,
be permitted to ride at will and
without restriction over the pos
sessions of our farmers and ranch
ers and the birds and other wild
game thereon be watonly slaugh
tered, etc., or shall those whose
interests are dependent upon the
resources of their various farms
be protected as the language of
the law prescribes? We are not
sitting in judgment, but ask that
if the law is right should it not be
sustained? . If wrong, repeal it.
THB LAW.

THE OLDER COAST RANGES.
With More Recent Geological
Formations in Benton
County.
BY JOHN RAY. .
Continued from Last Week.
REVIBW.
We have tried in the above to give a
faithful description of the rocks as we
have seen them. A few further points
may j be suggested. Taking the Vine
yard-Kings Valley ranges, they stand
quite apart from more recent formations.
An excellent example is found in the
Osburn hill, where, standing alone, its
base runs sweeping out as the oak, where
it sinks under the base of a low Eocene
hill.
It is, too, at this junction of the older
and more recent formations where so
much igneous action has taken place.
Where it runs entirely around the oldest
system, up the flanks considerably, and
also where recent formations are some
what contiguous, they.have met the same
fate. How near the Miocene comes to
the older formation we do not know
exactly, but from Summit to Yaquina
there is comparatively little igneous
action visible. There is a dike going up
to Rock Creek, thereiisjanother at Pio
neer, a little horizontal intrusion in the
shales about Porter's, but as compared
with the older formations it is as nothing.
Then, again, its schistose trap taken from
those places bear no resemblance to simi
lar material east It is like its hills, very
common. ..
There is, too, every reason to believe
that the metamorphism, such as it is, in
the Kings Valley field.took place prior
to the igneous operations subsequent to
the rise of the Eocene deposits. Where
this action has taken place it has been
violent, but the quiet and easy change
in the flags and shales of the older rocks
does not exhibit this violence. Then
again, with the exception of the little
strata remaining upon the flanks of the
older hills, they seem to be a solid body
of metamorphic rock, and further, that
the material with which this strata at the
base is composed, is from the debris of
the older strata above, breccia, flag and
shale show this in a new arrangement
of older material, andin the coarseness of
grain not found in more recent or distant
deposits.
Another feature in the Kings Valley
field is when the sediment composing the
strata at the base of the hill was deposited
it must have been in fresh water, for
there is no sign of marine life. There
is a leaf or two and creeping things have
left portions of their bodies, birds and
small animals their footprints upon the
soft shale. The more curious too, it is,
when we remember the west face . stands
overlooking the . Pacific Ocean. But
when we look at the deposits of the
Eocene as well as Miocene which have
been laid down, and largely, from this
older land, we may try to imagine if we
can the former greatness of this formation
and the great change which must have
taken place, but all we can now find or
see is the skeleton of what was.
. At the - Vineyard field, things seem
more natural and with the opening .in
the range previously mentioned the sea
could sweep in,' up and down the valley,
the bed of marl depositedand molus-
cari life in highest enjoyment in the
shelter there existing. ' "
' In a bulletin published by the Geolog
ical survey, Washington, 1886, "Notes on
the Geology of Northern California," by
L S. Diller, who says, "The distribution
of the rocks of the Chico group clearly
indicates that during, the Chico epoch
the northwestern portion of California,
with the adjacent part ' of Oregon, ' em
bracing the Trinity, Salmon, Scott, Sis
kiyou and other mountain ranges; of the
Coast Range, was a large island, sepa
rated from the still larger continental
land mass of the ' same "strata in the
Great Basin and Sierra region by a wide
strait now bridged over by the Lassen's
Peak , volcanic ridge;" and ' again,
"South of the Rogue, river ; valley the
cretacean island lay completely west . of
the position now occupied by the Cas
cade Range. To the northward its ex
tension is but partially knbwn.y,--
The heavy body of black clay men
tioned on the Foster place is just such
material as is found in the marsh land by
Toledo' The fossil wood and Terredos
with Corbiculas just obove and the fossil
ostreai in the higher sandy clay stone
show the estuarine conditions. , Higher
in the formation a Zirphaia was obtained
with other fossils unlike those found near
Corvallis. ' Wil h a condition such as we
have here,, viz. brackish water .land must
have been to the west of it to furnish
fresh water sufficient to modify' the briny
water from the .ocean. Giving us this
barrier , to . the ocean, the older' Coast
Ranges, this condition is met and cannot
be met otherwise, for up to this time the
Miocene uplift had nottaken place.- :l , ,
Another problem also seems - to be
solved, namely; why or how it is that at
a . distance . of ten miles ;or more from
Corvallis, strata of a lower: horizon is
found? The opening in, the old 'Coast
Range at Philomath permitting the tidal
waters of the ocean to come in, we find
right east of this Scott's hill, in the
path of the channel, heavy bedded sand
stones over 200 feet deep below the level
of the .. valley... Even i in grain though
alternating in shade. ' This is not the
condition in Estriary waters, but rather
thin bedded strata with fragments of
leaves and wood, ' the . stone' partaking
more of clay than ,f sand, and ' that,' in
our lease, the, thin , .bedded ' andclayey
strata were laid down ' previous ' to the
heavier bedded sandstones.' ' '" ' E
The Red Deposits.
' Much curiosity has been - manifested
from time to time as to these deposits,
particularly so as they are found so near
the surface and nothing resembling them
in or about the same to give cause for
their being there. Mention has been
made of the residual clay at Vineyard's
which is the decomposed metamorphic
rock containing hornblende or pyrox
ene. These minerals containing iron
give or stain the clay red or chocolate
brown, which is the color of the clay, on
the upper portion of the hill. According
to eminent authority this disintegration
has taken long time to effect Then
taking into consideration the Hematite
pebbles in the conglomerate, besides
which a large body of brick-red crystal
line Siderite is found in this formation.
It will not be difficult to imagine that in
the course of time a body of such de
composed material lay on the hill side
and was swept off by heavy rains.
Age of Older Formation.
In naming tbe strata of a formation or
period the science of geology exacts evi
dence of animal or vegetable life exist
ing during the formation of such
strata, in the shape of fossils. These, un
fortunately, we have not in a shape or
condition suitable for use in this way;
the reason for this will be seen when
looking at a situation which existed and
which almost obliterated everything of
this kind. It is true we have a few frag
ments, but many fragments may not
make one fossil, no more than one com
plete fossil would be sufficient to deter
mine the age of a formation. In this
emergency we turn to Mr. Becker, who,
while not approving of age determination
by the appearance of rocks, suggests "In
California great use can be made of re
semblance." This suggestion is forced
through the difficulties'.encountered in
the similarity in .the California forma
tions and the lack of fossils such as
we meet here. But he further maintains
"So far as is known, therefore, no beds
in the Coast ranges of California younger
than the Knoxville group have experi
enced the peculiar magnesian and sili
cious metamorphosim so characteristic of
these ranges.
Besides the resemblance in metamor
phic rock another similarity exists be
tween the older Tertiary and Cretaceous
formations in California and our own.
In California the strata of these groups
lay in and east of the older Coast Ranges.
This is precisely as we find it here, and
so, no doubt it runs in this manner
wherever found, fromCalifornia to Can
ada. -
Therefore, with the exception of the
Breccia at Vineyard's, the strata at Kings
Valley showjtheyare composed of the
older material above them. We have a
piece of dolomite attached to the Resi
dual clay.similar to what isin the grits
and conglomerates at King's Valley, and
that this strata has againjbeen broken up
into small fragments which have made
up the next loweststrata in the Valley,
which, as found, is"of spotsjof two shades
of green, yellow, brown, light drab and
white, with brilliant green sand occasion
ally. This material is'too large to have
been long in the water, or had much
sco urine before tbeine deposited. We
have, then, with our fragments of fossils
our more perfect fossils of recent Cre
taceous Eocene ,t and Miocene forma
tions, the metamorphic jwith dolomitS at
tached with other material showing a
close relationship to the latter. With
these we have every reason, to believe
that the geological formations in this
county are not much .different to the
Older Coast Ranges of California, as well
as the Chico-Tejon in close proximity
thereto, and that these older Ranges will
doubtless be where Mr. Becker places
them, between Jurassic and Cretaceous.
It is not to be understood that the geo
logical formations given in this paper are
confined to Benton county, for, while the
writer has not visited other counties in
the Valley, fossils sent to him from Polk
county (south of Independence) are un
doubtedly more Cretaceous than any yet
found in Benton. But our object was and
has been to rescue, if possible, these grand
Ranges from the pretentious but rickety
elevations of Miocene time.. To restore
the title belonging to them which has
been ruthlessly given to their less deserv
ing neighbors. .How he may have suc
ceeded those learned in the science of
geology will best be able to determine,
but he is conscious of this, that the opin
ions . : formed have not been : hastily
adopted, but the result of extended ex
aminations and study. If our object has
been accomplished the knoweledge of
which will be a sufficient reward.

Another feature of geological in
terest ' in this part of the Willamette
Valley . is the many, large, blocks., or
boulders- found scattered here and there
in the valley, but more generally near the
base of the hills west of the river. These
rocks are of foreign origin,"and so far as
known to the writer, but little attention
has been given them publicly. " They
are also mementoes of the glacial period
monuments marking the stranding, or
wreck of the -"vehicle ' ' which con
veyed' them during the movement' of
the. prift, Then, ' oo, with .other mate
rial brought and deposited 'during this
period,1 of the leveling and smoothing
and .the changes' wrought, was , of the
greatest utility to Agriculture, and to
ward the fame this valley has obtained.
It is' then of these tramp rocks and other
deposits at the time, we give a brief de
scription, aided by observations in other
fields in days agbne. ' t ' . ' '
' ...Drift Material.
In the great fields- of drift material
covering the larger portion of Northern
United- States there will naturally, be
some diverdty in 'the"material: of those
fields, first, through distance from native
bed to final depositand second, distance
longitudinally" furnishing a change in
the kind ofrockl bat, tH4 agency used in
conveyance donbtlesswiir Dethesame.
The material here so far as known is
gravel, loam, and .boulders.-. The gravel
contains a variety of rock such ast gran
ite, Jasper and-othCT metamorphic rocks,
together with a variety of ancient igneous
rock. The gravet'?rnns intb". boulders,
well rounded, fairiy-J smooth ; whether
taken from the river bed or from beneath
its somewhat heavy cover in the valley.
The loam is a lightish yellow or buff,
though a shade darker and heavier than
similar material in Nebraska. Among
the large blocks or boulders we have
granite, porphyry, quartzite grey, light
and dark red and purplish, with heavy
deposits of slate rock. In some of these
deposits more beautiful and valuable
stone is found such as lumps of ribbed
chalcedony and richly variegated green
stones may be gathered.
A Nebraska field.
For the purpose of getting a more cor
rect understanding of the drift deposits
we gather from another field the po
sition of the several varieties of material
as they were deposited and which, in
general character, will obtain through
out the period.
In eastern Nebraska upon the- cre
taceous floor drift material is found rest
ing thereon amounting to eighty or one
hundred feet in depth as follows: At
the base, a hard and tough variegated
clay in which is slightly mingled gravel
and boulders. Upon this clay is found
a bed of fine quartz gravel about two
feet deep, size of gravel a little less than
one quarter inch cube, and each grain or
gravel apparently of the same size and
weight, showing that not only this bed
but beds above were conveyed by water
and that the determining cause of deposit
at that place was the strength of the cur
rent at the time and size or weight of
pebble.
Above the quartz gravel is a bed of
coarse, rusty sand followed by a less
coarse bed of clean grain, topped with a
bed of sand of finest jparticles: Each of
these beds is well defined by clear
level lines'running across the face of de
posit Upon this bed of fine sand rests
the rich buff loam to a depth of seventy
five feet or more. Whilehis loam varies
in shade or color Ja little, there is small
difference from top to bottom in quality
as to fineness orjichness. Not a pebble
the size of a pea is found in it and though
we travel scores of miles, excepting in
the bed of the deep ravines, which time
has cut through and down to the boulder
clay, not a stone is to be found. One ex
ception to this rule was found in this
field but it was the only one known to
the writer as follows: In one of those
ravines and near the top of the sloping
bank a large slab of red quartzite lay
with a few small pieces, corners straight
and sharp as when rivenjrom its native
bed. This slab as it lay was sloping
with the bank and evidently when de
posited Jhad been uponthe surface of the
loam after it.had become hard enough to
sustain its weight; subsequent erosion
forming the ravine had permitted its
sliding from its original position. From
the above we gather the method of the
various deposits of the drift First
boulder clay, second, very -fine gravel,
followed by beds each one finer than the
preceding till wereach.thetop, when it
is capped by large and small angular
rock belonging to the earliest of days.
Each one of those beds gave indication
that there was time between each de
posit, that is, each one had become set
tled so that a subsequent deposit rested
fairly upon the bed immediately beneath
it, and without mixing with each other,
Xn The Valley.
While we have not the number or
variety of drift deposits as mentioned
above, what we have will be found to
have been deposited in the same order.
Here we have as yet seen no boulder clay
but we have in its place a much heavier
deposit of gravel resting upon Eocene
strata. This gravel is found in the bed
of the Willamette river: It is covered by
loam and soil in the valley near Corvallis
about twenty feet ' Fifteen miles south
it comes to the surface and covers many
acres of land.- The, same gravel is used
for our streets and roads instead of broken
rock.- Where the gravel is covered by a
subsequent deposit of sufficient depth it
will be found to be loam, topped with
darker soiL !- ' '
But if we are short of the variety of de-
posits, as in the Nebraska field,,our blocks
or boulders make up for this largely; for
here they are strewn along for miles near
the base of the foot hills and frequently
stretching out one or two miles into the
valley; where the center of a wave-like
undulation occurs, these boulders will be
scattered, and where the road passes over
them they form a hard grey pavement

In other plaecs farmers have either sunk
them beneath the soil or carted them
away.
A question here forces itself upon us;
it is, from whence and how was this ma
terial brought here? One may readily
answer, ice and water, as given us by our
text books, but do these materials not
suggest themselves their mode of convey
ance? It is scarcely possible for us to
imagine the vast field of loam in Ne
braska to have been carried in any other
way than by water. So, too, the quartz,
gravel and the different beds of sand, so
carefully assorted as to size and weight,
could scarcely be so delicately arranged
by other than water. But when we come
to the gravel and boulders, and blocks or
boulders, many of them of great weight
we cannot rest with water, but some other
carrying machine resting in or upon the
water is necessary. Nature has given us
ice fields and bergs, floating upon the
waters as ships upou the sea. These were
the vessels, our gravel and boulders and
larger material the cargo. The gravel
and small boulders were picked up in the '
bays or on the seashore, where they have
been rolled about forages by the dashing
waters. The slabs of rock which we
have called blocks or boulders have been
torn from their bed in some cases, for in
one case near here some years ago, there
was found a line of granite in blocks
stretching over ioo feet in length. By
its side was a string of blocks of slate of
equal length, close together, with quartz-'
ite scattered here and there alongside..
These lay in the ground as pavement and
apparently deposited as they were taken
from their place of deposit ,
As to where this material came from we
do not know exactly, but the course of
the continental drift has been from the
north, southward.It must be so in this
case, for to the south and to the east and
west we have high elevations, whichjfrom
the low locationof .this material in the
valley would forbid other direction than
from the north. As well, so far as known,
no rock of such antiquity is found in
western Oregon. In Nebraska the near
est location of such rock is several hun
dred miles away, but the conditions here
suggest a nearer place,' probablyiwestem
Washington.
The position in which these large rocks
are found suggests a slow and quiet de
posit. They also suggestjthat this was the
latest and last effort of the glacial epoch.
It is to be hoped that some of the finer
and larger blocksj will be preserved, for
as time wings its way and papulation be
comes larger, with few of Jthese monu
ments remaining, those preserved will be
of no Httlevalue.to the studentjof the fu
ture. . .

MYSTERIES!
The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.
No mystery has ever compared witb that of
human life. It has been the leading subject
of professional research and study in all ages.
But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener
ally Known
that the seat
of life Is loca
ted in the up
per part of 1 he
spinal cord,
near tbe base
of the brain,
and so sensi
tive is this
portion of the
nervous sys
tem that even
the prick of a
needle will
cause Instant
death.
Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under tbe con
trol of the nerve centers located In or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the Injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the derangement of the nerve centers will
cause the derangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the Imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base of tbe brain, not from a derange
ment primarily originating in the organ- it
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe
clallst.has profoundly studied this subject foi
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi
ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, Sr.
Vitus dance, etc., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
, Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.
