Not much sntw tell but the ea lv part of the storm was accorai an < d by a severs mini, later dying down some what and geti n{ c» respon lingly colder. The th the mound builders. Oo one side it is made up of small stones, fitted per fectly together. On the other side, the stones are larger, smooth and regular and are terraced. The rock is about 60 feet long, 40 feet wide and 50 feet in height. The rock is formed of a different variety of stones than those found along the river. There are masses of rocks on every side, probably broken off and fallen away by weathering dur ing the centuries since that prehis toric race built up the solid struc ture. And for what purpose? Was it an ever-enduring monument to some honored chieftain? Was it used in same strange religious cere monial? May it not have been an altar on which gruesome sacrifices were offered to their cruel gods? What possibilities! The stones tell no tales, and as we with some diffi culty ascended to its top and sat there enjoying a delightful sun batb, many were the speculations as to its origin and use, indulged in by the Happy Four. But a few steps away, just down a steep banks, is one ot those beautiful little brook lets, a charming place where we ate our lonch. After dinner we explored an ex cavation made within the last decade, in the vain hope of wrest ing from Temple Rock the secret of its being. At last the descend ing sun sent us homeward, stopping at an old abandoned placer mine to gather lovely Santiam lilhes and look around. The miners’ rude cabins still stand and we can see the excavations where not so many years ago they sought the precious dust. When we came to the river, the Nebraska girl could not be sat isfied without crossing the foot bridge which the miners had used. It is made by stretching two wire cables across the stream a little over two feet apart, putting cross wires about two feet apart, and then lay ing ten or twelve inch boards on the cr 88 wires about four inches apart. We were a little late for supper and were tired, but felt it payed. The Nebraska Gian, District Court.
