Most Of the buildings are nearly lost
to view in the cool shade. Baxter

the Metropolitan and Bank saloons
were adorned with the red, white

his brewery. The KEYSTONE floats

Wood River and It's Name.

ut stretches along the banks Of
the Malad river a distance OF 100
miles, and the tillable area is, per-
haps, 80 miles long by Is to 20 in
width. Every foot of this extensive
tract, which is unquestionably the
bed of the ancient lake, is suscepti-
BILE of high state of cultivation,
irrigation not being required, owing
to a peculiar natural condition.
During the dryest time in midsum-
mer the moisture rises to within a
foot or two of the surface of the
ground. The average altitude of
the prairie is about $500 feet, but
the climate is mild and fine. The
soil, owing to the peculiar, natural
sub-irrigation,' yields immensely,
small grain doing especially we'll.
Much of the land is still open for
settlement, and the immigration
this season is very large"
The foregoing is from an article
in the West Shore, referring to
Camas Prairie. In the main it is
correct; true not only of that an
cient fiat but of the entire Wood
River region.
The Maiad referred to is the lower
portion of Wood river. There is
bit of history attached to the name
of Malad. This was originally the
name of the river now known as
Wood from it's source at the sum-
NIT above Galena to its outlet into
Snake river. Many years ago a
detachment from the Hudson Bay
Company travelled up the malarious
valley of Snake river until they
reached the mouth of the stream
that flows in front of US. Several
of the company were taken sick at
that point with fever and ague, and
camped at a place very near the
old stage station on the overland
road, whose rocky walls and corral
are still standing. They left the
memory of that malady in the name
Of the river-Malad. That was the
old name of the entire river, as far
as then known. Years afterwards
other explorers went higher up the
river and found those woods that
line its banks so abundantly; and
they called it the Wood, or Woody
river. For the same reason the
employees of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, struck with the beauty Of the
forests Of cottonwood, called the
river near which the capital of the
State of Idaho is located, Boise
which means the same thing, woody.
That Wood river is the bed Of an
old lake, or rather a succession Of
lakes, is evident to every observer.
No one can glance at the ground
and at the disrupted mountain sides
and not recognize the vestiges Of
ancient things. The traces Of an
old water period-of a chain of
lakes-are apparent. In what ge-
illogical period these ancient walls
were broken, disrupted, and the
torrents turned loose, it is for the
scientist to say. Perhaps those
Snake river lava-beds could tell
something of the story. There was
great uplifting here at some pc
Rod, when the rocks quaked and
the hills shook, and the mountains
lifted up their heads anew. Every
miner who strikes these rocky old
foundations fLds trace of ancient
commissions and later changes.
They tell of time when these min
erals were concentrated, and mines
made; when metals grew within the
rocks as the trees grew above them.

Mount BaldV,

On the Sth day of June, 1899, the
KEYSTONE noted the entire disap-
pearance Of the snow-cap on the
summit of Mt. Badly, across the
river and opposite Ketchum. We
stated then that this was the e8rli-
est date then known for the melting
of that peculiar snowbank, which
the year previous was still there on
the 1st of August. This year on
the 4th of July that snow cap is
still there on duty with the regu-
larity of a Roman sentinel. That
slightly emblem of purity is one of
the beautiful points of ketchum
scenery in the summer time. Mt.
Badly is one of the prominent peaks
that looms up sharply into the sky
and seen afar off in the Snake river
country. It's crown of nearly per-
petual snow is beauty forever,
fringed with green, and especially
from this point of view. 1t is said
to rise above the level of Main
street a little over 1000 feet.
THE sound of the sunrise salute
at Haley was distinctly heard at
Ketchum yesterday. The discharges
sounded like thunder. This is
something new, we are assured by
old residents who heard the dis
charges at that distance for the first
time. And when the Haley cele-
bration was going on there over
statehood, the ringing of bells, and
powder explosions on the streets,
could be heard distinctly through
the telephone.

Speaking Of transparent lakes, how
ever, there is one--not mythical, but ac-
tual--which is among the worlds most
famous beauty spots. It is that dainty
gem In the Yosemite valley called Mirror
lake. Only a mile In circumference, It
seems to have been placed there for the
encircling mountains to see their forms
and faces In. The remarkable clearness
Of the water and Of the surrounding at
mosphere makes the reflected images Of
the rocks and trees almost rs distinct
and sharply defined as the nctual objects.
Around the most hideous thing that
receives the geographical name Of lake
cluster the horrible traditions Of the vilest
superstition that ever distorted the brain
of even barbarian man. The sheet of
water, so called. is Pitch lake, thirty six
miles from Port Of Spain, in Trinidad,
and its gloomy offensiveness has made
IL fit place for the celebration OF
the awful rites OF voudoo. This
famous cesspool, for It can hardly
deserve a better name, covers space Of
90 acres. and contains millions Of tons
of bitumen, which pervades the air with
its smell. On approaching the spot the
evil odors grow oppressive and sicken-
ing. Il Is veritable Stygian pool, and
presents most singular appearance as
IL glares and glitters in the sun. Narrow
channels Of water divide the black mass
into hundreds Of isolated patches. Small
islands struggle along the center, covered
with thick low scrub. Hereabouts the
