AndvRemembor to Get a Stop-Over for Springfield. SPRINGFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2S, 115 NOTHING NEW According to Professor M. Cohem, the oftlclal lecturer of the Egyptian Expooration Fund, who has just returned from his' ninth exploration trip to Egypt, the explorations In that country make clear that about all the best of modern work is but a reproduction of what the Egyptians did forty centuries ago; that the Bible statement that "Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians" means that he knew a world of facts that modern men believe are but recent discoveries. Thus the explorers tiavc found saws such as the blocks in the pyramids were fashioned by. These saws are six and seven-foot saws and their teeth are reinforced by an intensely hard black substance greatly resembling carborundum. Tho writer of this paid for the first false teeth put in a circular saw; the man who did the work posed on the achievement all his life and did not know that a forgotten Egyptian did the bhiup thins- four or five thousand years ago, and before there was any steel known reinforced those teeth with something almost as hard as diamonds. When Tod Sloan won his first race in England by leaning close over the neck of his horse, he (made a mighty sensation, and-revolutionized the way of riding horses. But Professor Cobern in his excavation at Gerzes, found .an ornamental set of harness so constructed that the rider must have hunched himself up on the neck of his horse. And that was in the age of the prophet Elizah.. The horrors of ancient wars are fearfully portrayed on tablets recently ex cavated. The professor says the Romans liked to make their carni- vals dramatic. For instance, when a woman was to be exe cuted they clothed her in a bear's skin, then sent her to the arena and turned a hungry lion loose. With the first blow . the'lion tore away the bear skin and then proceeded to devour the woman. 'Hatsepan was the first queen in history and the reign occurred about thirty-five hundred years ago. She was the first woman's rights woman of whom there is an account. She was found in the temple of Deis el Bahari. She was a great old girl. She wore a false beard, dressed in male at-, tire, called herself "him," but she wrought many impove ments and built a great temple to ,commemmorate her deeds. She led a revolution to success, was a clo'se friend of Senmut, who made the first six-sided column, and who was the first . landscape gardener. But Hatsepan loved perfumes as much as any modern woman and invented one herself. When Parihu "the Lord of the Land of Punt" made a return visit to the court of Egypt, he carried a boomerang. Senmut built the great temple for Hatsepan on a rocky declivity from which it was partly hewed out. It had a front- - age of 750 feet. Professor Cobern says: "It is to be remarked that Hatsepan, the first woman to ' rule devoted herself more to art and commerce than to war. Her age was one of the greatest in Egyptian history Art of all kinds flourished, and botany as a pursuit began with her. "Furthermore, she was at the apex of a great movement for the advancement of women. One never sees movements such as this begin at once. Trades of it are to be seen for a - century before her time, and a century afterward. I was amused to note in the earlier pictures .that at the side of the kings were little figures that I thought were babies, until I read the inscription and found they were wives. But after the reign of Hatsepan an Egyptian Pharaoh is pictured in his chariot with his wife full size, and he is actually kissing her!" Only a couple of centuries after this first feminist move ment came an epoch which was to change the map of the world and furnish the foundation of all modern laws. This was the era of the foundling Moses. In our day he might have been left on a rich man's doorstep, but in his day they ' had different ways of doing things. As Professor Cobern said: "Some persons have tried to confound Sargon, who lived a thousand years before this era, with Mosef As a matter of fact, both were foundlings, and both were placed in baskets to float down the canal. That was the common meathod of disposing of inconvenient children. Rich people went to the canal every day to bathe. Consequently a baby in a basket would float down among, those who would bo likely to take a fancy to it." As pictured by Prof esfebr. .Cobern, ; Moses is on the overtowering figures of the past-rNapoleon, Blackstone and Bismark all in one. '.'" fi "I saw thousands and, thousands of tons pf refuse at Mount Sinai where copper mines, had been, worked by the children of Israel. For 37 yeaVs they were taught citizen ship and fitted for self-government under Moses. They also ' learned to make implements of war and n many respects were no different from, Uie people of oda. y. , ; v "Why, their doctprs had to pass'examtnations' and seemed , to be about as wise in many respects til our own. They could tell the areabra circle imthe snap ofa.fingeAkWblchjBjinore than we can do. They knew the signs of the Zodiac, and I have rend references lo tho' moon as 'Bhlnlng by tho reflected light or tho sun.' " They "had labor unions In Roma; tho wheat nhlpa that plied on tho route between Homo and Cnrtlmgp wero from 2R0 to 1G00 ton ships. - - Tho professor says: "Wo have found in Egypt, from the third century boforo Christ, wedding document In which tho husband agreed to mnko all his property over to his wife on condition that she would take care or htm whllo allvo and ford him a respectable burial when dead. Ami how do you suppose we enmo to find those documents? The wife broko her agreement when tho man died. Sho sklmpud bo much on the burial arrangement that tho man's children protested nnd took tho enso to court." Thero was a plutocrat class in Rome, the samo as wo have in our cities. 1 ' Can Christianity prevent our going the samo way that thca nclent went? ' Will tho Now Zcalantlor really sit on a broken melt of London bridge and moralize? Will excavators be delving under the ruins of Now ork skyscrapers three thousand years hence? Goodwin s Weekly. By some strange co-lncldence the Cottage Grove Sen tinel in its first of the week edition, contained an editorial on the valley lumber rates, very similar In thought to the ono In the News Monday. Tho situation of a delegation of Port land business men out pleading for harmony, while another croup was screaming 'discrimination' because they couldn t civc up even a small corner of the lumber market, appealed to both papers as incongrous. Willamette valley mills can not hope to have as wide a market as the tidewater mills, with the world lor a field, but they can, and do eect thut the natural advantage of proximity to one small Held wil no be hampered by extending of a flat freight rate Into a torr ltoi Sat te not in need of the field. With tho valley lumber busi ness dormant, PortlrTnd, commercially, will lose far more than two or three sawmills will gain. v., rf1 agonal 1 We Have a Will BoX in our Vault at The First National Bank of Springfield, and you are welcome to deposit your will in this m strong box for safe keeping without cost.
