ANNOYING MOUNTAIN.
It Is Travelling Slowly but Surely
Down the Columbia River.

It Is Travelling Slowly but Surely
Down the Columbia River.
A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades Of the Columbia. 1t is trip
le-peaked mass of dark brown bassalt
six or eight miles in length where 1t
fronts the river. and rises to the height
of almost 1900 feet above the water
That it is in motion is the last thought
that would be likely to suggest itself
to the mind of any one passing it, yet
1t is Il well established fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but
steadily down to the river, as If it had
n deliberate purpose some time in the
future to dam the Columbia and form
q great lake from the Cascades to the
Dalles. In it's forward and downward
movement the forest along the base Of
the ridge has become submerged in the
river. Large tree stumps can be seen
standing dead in the water on this
shore.
The railway engineers and brake
men find that the line of railway which
skirts the foot of the mountain is be-
ing continually forced out of place.
At certain points the permanent way
and rails have been pushed eight or
ten feet out Of line in a few years.
Biologists attribute this strange phe.
nomenon to the fact that the bassalt,
which constitute the bulk Of the noun,
tain, rests on substratum Of conglom-
crate or soft sandstone, which the
deep, swift current of the mighty river
is constantly wearing away, or that
this softer subrock is Of itself yielding
ut great depths to the enormous weight
of the harder mineral above.-Goldth.
