nr.,.n.. Travelling nnun,.,n.

There is a mountain OF dafk brown
basali on the Columbia river nearly
1900 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 it would move across the Colum.
bia aud form a lake which would
reach from the cascades 90 the dalles.
What the Indians said has been found
true Ia some respects. The mountain
Is In motion It's movement Is forward
and downward The railroad builders
who constructed their line along the
base found the tracks continually
forced out OF place. In some places
the movement has amounted 10 eight
and ten feet In a few years. Biologists
attribute the phenomenon to the fact
that the mountain rests on a sub
stratum OF conglomerate. or OF soft
sandstone. which Is steadily being
washed away by the current Of the big
liver.

The members of Mary Lee Chapter.
U. d. G. have decided to make Thanks
giving Day of this year day of more
than usual Importance for this section
by setting for that day the ceremonies
attending the laying of the corner stone
of the Confederate monument.
Originally it had been decided to have
the ceremony some time early in Decem-
ber, but as it was the intention of the
Daughters to invite Senator Berry to
deliver the address of the day, and as
the senator would be forced to be In his
seat at Washington on December 7th
the ladies decided that no more oppor-
tune time than Thanksgiving Day could
be selected.
There can be no doubt but what the
ladies will make the occasion memor-
able one, an effort in which they will
be aided by every citizen of Van Buren,.
AS there are a number of Confederates
from other states inferred In our ceme-
terry no doubt quite number of strang-
ers will attend the ceremonies.
