In the John Day rivers region are to
be seen some very peculiarly constructed
burying places, evidently of a 'quite
ancient origin, and, of whose construc
tion it remains for future archeologists
to determine. The writer of this, a
number of years since, discovered one of
these monuments of an age long past in
the low Pine mountain, near the western
part of Grant county, and about twelve
miles north from old camp Watson.
This mound, composed' of the basal
tic rock so abundant in that region, was
of conical form, about twenty feet in
diameter at the base, and had appar
ently originally been about, ten feet in
height. The top of this queer . pile was
covered to a depth of perhaps two feet
with ashes, and bones human bones as
many pieces were large enough to be
readily distinguished ; also many pieces
of flint and bone arrow heads, spear
heads, flint knives and other imple
ments and ornaments. On removing
the layer of flat stones constituting the
top, another layer of ashes, bones, etc.,
was found. This was continued until
the. bottom of the pile was readied.
when the skeletons of about twenty of
these unknown people were disclosed to
view. This lower and last layer was
not burned like the rest, but were very
fragile. Here was found some very good
specimens of arrow heads, spear-heads,
pieces ot pipes nicely carved, and nu
merous other relics of stone and bone
loe remains were or small as well as
large persons, bones of small children
being found. They had apparently been
placed there systematically, as the feet
were in every instance placed to the
east, with the face toward the rising
sun. I afterward discovered two more
of these strange tombs near the banks of
the John Day river, and also another
one on Bock creek on the eastern 6ide of
the same river. These latter ones I
did not investigate very closely, but
they presented the same general
appearance as the one described, and it
was an effort to have to pass them with
a casual examination, but I was then
engaged in the pursuit of the oreodons,
entelodons, rhinoceros, etc., then
abounding in the magnificent fossil beds
of that region. It would be of great in
terest to know juBt who these people
were, and the objects which led them to
adopt this strange mode of disposing of
their dead. It is strange that, with the
encouragement shown toward researches
of this nature in the east, so very little
is known of it here, where such splendid
opportunity presents itself. Some one
will say, "Why doesn't he do it, him
self !" . I will tell you why : . I have not
the money. That great requisite which
ia required of us all in the acquirement
of useful knowledge for . ourself and
others, I possess very little of.
A finer field for research, in a scien
unc way, dv one with means, energy
and taste, it would be hard to find than
is presented by our beautiful state, with
its generous wealth of. all that goes to
make glad the heart of the lover of
the beauties, the wonders, and the mys
teries of the works of a Divine Creator,
here awaiting his pleasure to unfold.

Hard on Chinese Pheasants.
lOWS of I
hinese :
The cold weather and heavy snows
last winter were very bard on the Chinese
pheasants, and in fact on all the
feathered tribes. It was thought a great
many Mongolian pheasants had perished
from cold and hunger, but from what a
Vancouver paper says it would seem
that a great many had survived: "Chi
nese pheasants are very numerous on the
bottoms in spite of the hard winter. A
sportsman informed us that a cock could
be heard crowing in nearly every brush
pile or thicket last Sunday in his ram
bles, and disputes the theory that many
of these birds ' perished during the
winter." '

On page 22 of the Official Guide for
March, 1893, we find that three post-
offices in Wasco county have been kept
in such manner as to secure the special
commendation of the department at
Washington. The three lucky, or rather
say diligent ones, are Antelope, Cascade
Locks and Wamic. We venture to say
that there are but few people who have
any idea of the care, diligence, pains
taking work and constant attention
required of fourth-class postmasters
throughout these United States.
