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 (CoaUao! oa pig 3).
