great plains. and by a return of the
conditions Of vigorous stream erosion
and new cycle or partial base-leVel-
ing, by which wide, fat valleys were
cut in the eastern part of these Creta-
ceCus plains. This latest uplift of the
Rocky mountains and of the country
eastward l believe to have extended
to the Atlantic coast, and there to have
caused the erosion of the now deeply
submerged continuation of the channel
Of the Hudson river, which reaches a
hundred miles beyond Sandy Hook to
maximum sounding of 2,844 feet near
the submarine margin Of the continent
al plateau, though a nearly uniform
depth Of only about 500 feet of water
is found on each side. The late ter
tiary and early Quaternary uplift of
nearly all our continent to a height
from 1900 feet to. probably in part,
5000 feet higher than now appears to
me the most probable explanation of
the ice age, bringing cold and snowy
climate throughout the year, with con-
seQuent deep accumulation of snow and
ice. But under the great weight Of
the ice sheet the continent sank to
it's present height, or, for most of the
northern region which had been ice
enVeloped, from 100 to 500 or 600 feet
lower.
Many changes in the courses of rivers
were produced by the upward and
downward and again upward epeiro-
gene movements associated with the
ice age, and by the deposition of the
glacial and modified drift. In the case
of the Missouri river, Gen. G.. X. War
rem remarked, nearly thirty years ago,
that it flows through all its course on
the marginal part of the northern drift
bearing region; and he therefore at
tributed the location Of this great river
TO the obstruction Of the ice-sheet,
which he supposed to have turned it
from a more northerly and easterly
preglacial course. 1t seems very prob
able that the present Missouri is made
up by the union of the courses Of sew
eral independent proglacial rivers, and
that some Of these old avenues Of
drainage underwent great changes of
location, as Prof. ]. E. Todd has shown
from his explorations and studies Of
the glacial geology of South and North
Dakota Much further exploration,
however, including the present water
shed which divides the most north
eastern part Of the Missouri river from
the Souris and Assiniboine rivers and
the lakes of Manitoba, will be needed
to ascertain whether the upper Missouri
was permanently turned far away
from its preglacial lower course by
the viciSsitudes Of the ice age.

The property of the company is all for

sit on the street car lines hurt the busi-
