Durno (R-Ore.) has intro duced a bill which would re quire that lumber imported into the United States be marked with the name of the country of origin. ' Durno said the legislation would apply principally to Canadian soft wood lumber which has been making seri ous inroads in recent years into the Oregon lumber sales in U.S. markets, particularly on the East Coast. Durno said he would push for enactment of the bill in the belief it would give a boost to domestic sales of U.S. lumber and lumber products.

Exception Provisions One of the 1938 exception provisions gave the Secretary of the Treasury and the Presi dent authority to suspend marking requirements for sawed lumber and timber, telephone, trolly, electric light ad telegraph poles of wood, and bundles of shingles. The administrative authority was put into effect immediate ly, with the result that mark ing requirements never have been put Into effect on the products. Durno's new legislation would have the effect of eliminating the President's au thority to suspend the mark ing requirements in these cases. H would require mark ing such imports, effective SO davs atcr enactment of his bill. By DORIS ROBINSON Mail Tribune Correspondent Yreka-New exhibits are be ing arranged in the Siskiyou county museum by the cura tor, Mrs. Hazel Pollock. They represent different eras of the history of Siski you county. The first one to be completed is of the 'orma tion of Siskiyou island in northern California, and the fossils found there, Mrs. Calla Lukes, Siskiyou county artist, has presented the museum a large oil paint ing, portraying the prehistor ic mammoth that rotmed the area, with Mt. Shasta in the background. The painting was painted from the location where the bones of a mam moth elephant were unearthed on the Callahan-Gazelle rd. Mrs. Lukes was three months painting the picture. She is a noted artist having held private showings "of her pictures in New York where she painted for many ;-ears. The painting hangs above a display case which holds the bones of a mammoth elephant. These bones were discovered in the clay of an ancient bog on the Shelley ran?h near Gazelle, where elepha..t of this species died. A hip bone, one half of a lower jaw with a tooth, and a large leg section were ex tracted. Finally after much effort a lower jaw complete with teeth In place was re covered. Large sections of tusks were also found embedded in the clay, but it was impossi ble to remove them without breaking them apart Discover the Bones Mrs. Pollock, her late hus band, waiter Pollock and their son, Walter Jr., discov ered the bones and they be lieve there is enough evidence to show the possibility of oth er mammals of the period. The excavation is an irriga tion water source and several feet of water cover the bone deposit. Dr. Howell Williams, voica nologist and geolpgist of the University of California, and Dr. Robert Heizer, head of the archaeology department, were interested in the find. They sent Dr. William Wal lace of the University of Cal ifornia and Mrs. Wallace, who is an archaeologist, and Dr. Alex Krieger of the Univers ity of Texas to the site where they spent some time chart ing, photographing and excavating. Their . findings show the site seems to be allied with the "Great Basin" area of Oregon. There is evidence showing the occupation of man in Northern America dating hack to 10.000 years in the Oregon Basin. Marina Lit Fossils In another display case are fossils of the marine life, such as ammonites, clams, turritlllos and sharks tooth, which inhabited the se that covered the northern part of California and the island known as Siskiyou Island. These fossils are a part of the collection found by the Pol lock family, and C. B. Kay on Black Mountain near Ager. The display of plant life fossils also taken from Black Mountain include Sycamore leaves, Ginko leaves and fruit, a c.ea! grass, ever green twigs from the red wood tree, water cypress twig and salix willow. Bones of Mastodon In 188fi, W. H. Smith found in his mine on Cotton wood creek at the west fork, near Hornbrook, bones of a mastodon elephant at a depth of 55 feet. The bones were donated by Mr, and Mrs. W. R. Parshall and family to the museum March 17, 1948. They include a five foot tusk, a jaw bone with two tce'h attached, two vertebra, hip socket bone and pieces of rib. The American mastodon was a browsing animal which grew to a height of 9 feet and Other exhibits which are was of stocky build.
