STONE AGP: of OREGON. 2J)1 



Mr. Stevens bus also a hide dresser, made from a waliiis tusk, about 

 15 inches long. It came from the Malheur country, in eastern Oregon, 

 but evidently made a western tour before it reached that region. 



Pipes. — Dr. liaftert}'^ has two of these, and both arc of patterns similar 

 to those on the sound. One is like the common American pipe of (tlay- 

 stoue, 2^- inches long, weighing If ounces, and came from Sauvie's Island, 

 or Oregen City. The other is of the same weight, from The Dalles, of 

 light basaltic rock, aud of the grindstone shape, with the bowl and i)lace 

 for the pipe-stem at rightangles to each other. It is 2 inches in diameter, 

 with lines and dots on the side. 



Mrs. Kunzie, however, has obtained the most valuable collection of 

 these, some being straight, with carvings on them. They are from 3 to 

 C inches long, and the heaviest w^ere about 8 ounces. Some of the most 

 valuable of these were found near her residence. 



Captain Bendire also found one of these straight ones, which was ob- 

 tained from an Indian grave on John Day's Hiver. It is of gray sand- 

 stone, shaped much like an ordinary straight cigar-holder, 3 inches long 

 and 1 inch in diameter at the larger end. I have not seen a straight 

 I)ipe in tlie Willamette Valle}" or on Puget Sound. 



Dr. Hill found a single pipe in one of the mounds in Linn County, 

 I»nt I do not know its shape. It is oh inches long, l.j wide at the top, 

 and 1 inch at the bottom. Mr. Chase also found some pipes of slate and 

 sandstone in the mounds of southwestern Oregon with straight tubes. 



Plates. — Dr. liafferty has two of these and Mr. Stevens one, but I have 

 seen none on Puget Sound. One of the former came from Sauvie's 

 Island. It was used for baking bread upon, is 12^ inches long, 10 

 inches wide, and varies in thickness from l}r to 2 inches. It is of light 

 sandstone, and weighs 5 pounds 7 ounces. The depth of depression 

 between the ends is three-fourths of an inch, but there is no depression 

 between the sides. 



His other is irregular, but somewhat diamond-shaped, oh by Ih 

 inches, with a depression of about one-half an inch. 



The one belonging to Mr. Stevens is circular, about 5j- inches in 

 diameter, the dish being one-fourth of an inch deep. I do not feel cer- 

 tain, however, that this is a plate, as it is hollowed out on both sidcy 

 ami is quite thick, 1^ inches. It came from Dalles. 



Aids and drills. — These are of two kinds, bone and stone. Bone ones 

 were common on Puget Sound, but 1 have not seen any stoiie one from 

 that region. Those of bone are about the same size as those on the 

 Sound, 2 or 3 inches long. Those of stone have been found at Oregon 

 City, Umatilla Landiiig, and in the mounds of Linn County. They are 

 ibnt, jasper, or some very hard rock, and are usually from 1 to 2^ inches 

 long. Some of I hem have a handle, not far from an inch long, at right 

 angles with the drill ; some have none. 



Xeedlcs.~lA\i(i the drills and awls, these are of both stone and bone. 

 Those of bone were the most common. Mr. Stevens has two, 3 and o
