There is mountain of dark-brown basalt on the
Columbia River nearly two thousand feet in height
and stretching along the stream for six or eight
miles. When the white settlers first came into the
country, the Indians told them this mountain was
travelling; that some day II would move across the
Columbia and form lake which would reach from
the cascades to the Dalles What the Indians said
has been found true in some respects. The noun
tain is In motion. Its movement is forward and
downward. The railroad builders who constructed
their line along the base found the tracks CON-
tinually forced out Of place In some places the
movement has amounted to eight and ten feet in
few years Biologists attribute the phenomenon
TO the fact that the mountain rests a substratum
OF congomerate. of soft sandstone which is
steadily being washed away by the current OF the
biz river.
