Oregon's marble halls, the famous
Josephine caves, which have attract
ed over 2,000 tourists since the open
ing of the highway the Inter part of
June, If) nlso a macule mausoleum
an archive of the nfiea having been
stored unilor ita stalactlc Incrusta
tions a, fossilized record of faunal life
which In all probability lived on the
western shores of this continent at
that distant geologic time when man
first appeared upon the earth. I'ni-
verslty of Oregon paleontology ami
geology students led by Dr. Earl
Packard, head of the university de
partment of geology, last Thursday
found animal bones In caverns never
visited by tourists and it is the belief
of Dr. Packard that the caves or
southern Oregon will reveal to science
not only a history of the distant past
a past which stretches in All prob
ability back beyond the time when
glaciers slowly crept southward over
the continent but will also give to
geologists a more accurate knowledge
concerning1 the time when the Klam
ath mountain ay at em was raised from
a level plain into lofty ranges of met
amorphic and igneuous rocks.
Guide Finds Bones
X-ast spring. Pick Rowley; official :
cave guide, found in the castellated I
caverns far underground and over
3,000 feet from the nearest entrance
the -bones of mammals and a well
preserved tusk similar to that of the
sabre toothed tiger. These bones have
recently been sent to the Smithsonian
Institute for determination and if it
is found that they are the fossil re
mains of Cenozoic animals Dr. Pack
ard believes that the Oregon caves
wilt, receive the attention of geolo
gists In all Darts of the world. rom
data gathered by the university geol
ogists it appears likely that the bones
taken from, the caves will be deter
mined as Pleistocene In age. and if
such is the case Dr. Packard points
out their value will be enhanced since
fossils of the Pleistocene, known as
the Ice age, are needed to Till In the
gaps of geologfo history. Pleistocene
faunas have been found only in two
other caves, the Samwell and Haw
ver caves of California.
Bones taken from shelves and
crevices of the caverns by the uni
versity geologists last Thursday dur
ing the reconnoissance survey in
cluded parts of rodents and ungulates.
Considerable time must elapse before
the identity of 'the species can be
determined (since the fauna- of the
Pleistocene' Is very similar to recent
Jbuna, there being only varietal dif
ferences, according to Dr. Packard.
The bones were obtained by the uni
versity party with considerable dif
ficulty as it was necessary to crawl
on hands and knees hundreds of feet
into narrow wet fissures, with only
the dim light of a carbide lamp to
light the way. Some of the bones
were found.mwied . deeply under
stalactlc material, showing that they
were id place for many centuries.
, Excavations May Be Made
Should the bones prove to be fossils
of pre-glacial fauna. "Dr. Packard has
expresed his intention of- organizing
a.party to excavate in the caves. The
Smithsonian Institute has precedence
over the 'university department of
geology, but If the Institute decides
to organize an expedition it la prob
able that Dr. Packard will co-operate
-with the Smithsonian scientists.
Concerning the manner in which the
hones were deposited m tne caves,
Tr. Packard has advanced two hy--Dotheses.
One is that carnivores car
ried the remains of 'their prey ino
their cavernous dens, but this seems
improbable, asserted Dr. FncKura
since the bones were found 3.300 feet
from the nearest entrance. Mr. How
ley, cave guide, docs not believe that
modern animals will go so far Into
the darkness of the earth. The other
hypothesis is that the water which is
constantly running through the caves
has -carried the bones from the sur
face and deposited them' underground.
If this assumption is true, the fossils
will be found to be of great age as
they were discovered in a part of the
caverns known as the old "caves
ubterraneaa channels carved from
the limestone formation innumerable
centuries ago.
.The party of university geologists
spent two weeks examining a limited
area In the vicinity of Medford and
while there discovered 1G new species
of marine fossils and many compli
cated geologic formations. Dr. Pack
ard, Professor J. H. Jonte, of the CoKj
lege of the Pacific; San Jose, Ca!..
and the students walked from Med
ford to the Oregon caves. Dr.
Packard Is still in southern Oregon
looking over the Cretaceous forma
tions in the vicinity of Waldo.

WITHDRAWS OPPOSITION TO

Matter at Meting to Bo Held
Monday Night :
The Southern Pacific company has
withdrawn ita objections to paving
Moss street In Fairmount, according

of a great deal of comment and some
ill feel ng.
Members) of the council state that
the Southern Pacific officials have
written that the company Is now In
favor of the Improvement as it has
' always been the policy of the com
party to favor any movement looking
toward progress in all communities
where 4ts lines touch.
The company owns and operates
tho street railway line that extends
on Moss street and will be taxed sev
eral thousand dollars as its share, of
,the cost of the improvements.
; According to the proponents of the
improvement, they have a majority
of front footage represented on their
-petition and tuey have urged that
favorable action he taken but Inas
much as the railway "company -has
opposed it and there has been strong
opposition among the people who own
property on the street, the council
