The bones of the prehistoric horse
Indicate that this section of the coun
try was the home of the ancient dob
bin perhaps 2,000,000 years ago. The
three-toed horse of The Dalles pro
bably belongs to the miocene age,
according to the scientists.
The prehistoric horse was smaller
and in almost every particular differ
ent from the modern horse. Its
teeth were not grinders, but more
fang-like, and its hoofs were three
toed. The find of the camel bone is per
haps more significant from a scien
tific point of view than the uncover
ing of the horse bones, since there
are no living wild types of camel,
save one, a two-humped variety dis
covered in central Asia. So bones of
the prehistoric camel are the only
means by which science is able to
trace the evolution of the camel from
its earliest forms.
This prehistoric camel was not
Jiuch larger than a large jack rab
bit and had no hump. However, Its
feet bones are not unlike those of the
present day camel, and it was pro
vided with the peculiar stomach di
vided into separate water compartments.
Roads of America will add to our own
glory and we will have some that may
rival the roads ot ancient Rome. Any
way there is a great wave of enthus
iasm spreading over the whole coun
try and by bonding issues, future
generations will be permitted to pay
for some ot the benefits which will
result.
