PREHISTORIC SHRINE
ON CUNNINGHAM FARM
Long Sweep From Pagan
Altar to Christian Mission
of Jason Lee
By JOHN B. HORNER
Director of Historical Research
OREGON AGRICULTURAL
jul.l.j:ui2, sept. z. Special.
The Cunningham find of phallls
images of unusual size and num
ber promises to be the most im
portant discovery of the kind in
the Oregon country. These stone
emblems of a - prehistoric but
abandoned worship of the organs
of reproduction crowned a hill
within Bight of the church steeples
of Salem; and but (or a plowman
they, would have been unknown
at the present time.
Last winter John Berg,' while
ploughing on the Bruce Canning
ham farm near the skyline or
chards six miles south of Salem
discovered a hundred elongated
stones standing in an irregular
cirele 35 feet in circumference on
the brow of a. gentle rise facing
the east. These are the jmly
stones of the kind in that local
ity, according to Donegan Wiggins
a painstaking amateur In the
study of archaeology residing. in
Salem. Just the upper' ends of
the rocks were visible and their
peculiar shaDe was not susDected
until they were dragged from their
beds with tractor and chain. -"
The shape, location and upright
nnaitlnn if wII thA tlmp-wnrn
nnAsranoA . of these tnvsteriatif
rocks at once indicated that the?
had been placed there by man sa
lone (to that thev had sunk intt
the earth and that they belonged
to- the - worship of a people- who
lived here in prehistoric times.
A Worship that Was Common
' Because the rocks were an en
cumbrance in the tilling ot the
soil they were exhumed and heap
ed Into a pile nearby. They vary
from 18 inches to tour feet. In
length and their form indicates
that they were evidently selected
from rocks of suitable shape and
then chiseled with some rude in
strument sufficiently to give them
the appearance of the principal
SymOOl Ul poailsc wurtuiy. ur-
cause of this resemblance an en
graving of the image is withheld
rswim thta arllcla an IinflllitAd in
. . . - -
the pages of a popular publica
tion. " " -
An additional evidence that
these rocks belonged to a former
worship prevalent in the Oregon
country, it i pointed out that
phallic worship was common in
an early period throughout the
west - where numerous stone im
ages have been found.
As early as ; 1884 J. G. Craw
ford and Dr. J. L. Hill, both of Al
bany, Or., gathered stone speci
mens belonging to phallic worship
In their researches along the Cal
apooia river. They, were preserv
ed in their valuable collections, the
latter of which was recently plac
ed in the museum ot Oregon Agri
cultural college.
. Found Throughout West '
Also many other specimens be
longing to that religion have
found their way Into archaeologi
cal collections throughout the
west. The specimens are so com
mon and so much has been learn
ed of that religion here and in the
Orient, it is believed that the form
of worship was generally practiced
in this country, and that it was
not dissimilar to that practiced
in ancient Syria, Greece and Rome
and more recently in Japan. '
But that we may be absolutely
correct as to the true significance
of the Cunningham flnd,let- us
refer the matter to D. C. Living
ston, professor of geology in Ore
gon Agricultural college, who has
identified the specimens as Images
of phalli. He says: .
The Scientists Report - - -
"These peculiar long and nar
row monoliths evidently, obtained
their general shape by some nat
ural process ot shrinking or part
ing of the sandy tuffa of which,
they were composed.' Their final
shape, however. Is due to the
crude tools of some prehistoric
race.. Their shape as a whole is
