] S OCIAL


Tender nursing was the basis of a
pretty romance that ended Monday
at Oakland, Md, of Miss Mary Nc
Cam to Conductor Wilbur Perine,
OF the local street car system. The
young couple went to Oakland Sun
day night, but were not able to pro-
cure the marriage license until
Monday. the Maryland law being
against the issuance OF licenses on
Sunday. Last spring Mr.. Perine
was injured in a trolley wreck near
Wilsonburg and was taken to st.
aIary's hospital, where Miss Mccain
was regular nurse, and he was as
signed to her as a patient. An ac-
quaintance was formed then that
ripened into love and the wedding
at Oakland was the result. For a
week prior to the trip to Oakland
Miss Mccain was out OF the hos
pital, presumably nursing a patient,
who was too iii for her return to the
hospital, but, indeed. she was pre-
pairing for her wedding as well and
the Sisters at the institution were
greatly surprised when they learned
of the wedding. The happy couple
have not yet returned from Oakland.

near the Idaho Oregon line, anc
for long time it was lake whose
upper shore line was above Du
bois and St. Anthony.
Old volcanic cones like the Big
Butte (See Plate) and the North
ern Butte whose craters were
closed, were washed by the wa.
ters of the lake, and much matter
from their steep slopes was washed
down and deposited about their
bases in the form Of "talus slopes
and "alluvial fans. "
Gradually the pent up waters
cut through the obstruction below
Weiser, and the wafer line was
lowered, so that scarcely any
we'll defined shore lines were left.
Streams flowing out into the lake,
and the muddy waters of the lake
deposited mud or silt to some ex-
tent all over the lake bed.
Where big Lost River flowed
into the lake, the deposit of silt
was very great, and as the water
line receded, the flow from the
valley spread it farther AID far
ther out on the plain making
vast alluvial fan, reaching from
the mouth of the valley, nearly
to The Big Butte, and spreading

each direction, including Era Flat,

GED1ToR's NOTE: We are indebted to
the United States Geological Survey for
much important data on the Snake
River Plains, but he who studies nature
as he sees it, can scarcely miss reading
some of the record of land sculpture as
it is. spread out before us. Where lrrl,
CATION is practised, the irrigator can
watch the process of land sculpture IN
the mineature 'at the end of the pota-
toe rows" and see reproduction OF the
carving of canyons, building "alluvlal
FANS" benches, transverse river BEDS,
deltas and bars, and notice the effect OF
secondary flows, etc.
The boy who never went to college
and has little of book learning, may have
seen all the forms in his home valley
carved out in the mineature on a square
rod or square yard while irrigating, and
compared the small model with the
greater one until he understands the
process by which it was formed, and
these daily lessons are more to be de-
pended on than the lessons of the class
room. 1t is such studies as these in the
field that men refer to when they speak
of "getting close to nature" and we
want to add to that, God bless the
man who works, and studies nature
while he CLEANS.
IT Is Nor TRUE That the Snake
river plains are 'as old as the hills
for the hills were here first, and
the plain was finished off later.
There is evidence that in the long
ago, a violent eruption occurred
that closed the outlet to the Snake
River Valley by placing noun
tain range across it below Weiser,

Champagne Fiat, Powell Flat and
the Sinks of Big Lost River near
Howe. The lava flow which
changed the face of the plain will
be spoken of later.
The flow from the Valley OF
Little Lost River, tho hundreds
of times as much as it is now, was
much less than from it's sister val.
ley, and built an alluvial fan a
few miles in extent, and the flow
nearly ceased while the other
stream was yet large. The matter
deposited at the mouth of the val
ley was loose, and allowed the
water to sink through it and pass
under the old lava deposit. Had
there been a hard pan or layer of
something near the surface that
would hold water, a channel
would have been cut thru to the
Sinks Of Big Lost River east of
Howe. A similar condition pre-
vailed at the Sinks of Birch Creek,
but the streams farther eastward,
especially Camas Creek, graded
up and carried farther into the
lake or plain.
The North Fork OF Snake River
did not carry much matter into
the lake or plain, but the South
Fork built up vast delta, build
ing from the foothills, to the west
and north, turning itself from its
original course, and turning the
North Fork westward from the
Crater Butte. The volume of
Snake River at that time was vast
ly greater than it is now,. and in
getting around it's own deposits
lying to the north and east of the
site Of Idaho Falls, it came in
contact with high land lying south
west of the present town of Mar
ket Lake. A channel was kept
open to the southwark, but vast
eddy filed the low country to the
westward from Market Lake and
Dubois. This filled in to con-
siderable depth with clay and

The Big Lost River Land and

store the surplus waters of The
Lost River Basin and reclaim two
large tracts of land lying where
that valley opens out on the Snake
River Plains, and within the scope
of the great alluvial fan referred
to elsewhere in this issue.
The plans have been under con-

of the company and the state for
long period, aud on,the 30th of
April the contract between the
projectors and the state was ap-
proved, and means that the state

river decreased and the channel
leading southward cut deeper, the
eddy became smaller, had less
life, and bar formed along its
southeastern bordar, which separ-
ated it from the river, except that
during the rise and fall of the
stream, channel would permit
the water to pass into or out of the
eddy, or bayou, thus keeping the
water level the same in both.
Since the building of the Utah
Northern, now the Oregon Short
Line Railway, this has been closed,
and but for the flow of Camas
Creek, the original Mud Lake and
Market Lake would be extinct.
During the period of the greater
flow of Snake River, after the
lake was drained thru the canyon
below Weiser, the stream between
Idaho Fails and American Falls,
filled the valley from the high
bench on one side to the high
bench on the opposite side, and
when the flow was normal, the
land and water together, filled the
valley up comparatively level from
the foothills far into the PLAIN on
the right bank. When the river
rose in extreme volume, the side
flow carried mud or silt out over
the flats and it lodged, building
up a "food plain," and as the
most mud settled near the river,
it followed that the overflow
passed some distance away from
the river and gathered in streams
that flowed down the valley par
allel to the main river until it en-
countered high land and was
forced back into the river. These
channels are now called "draws"
or ''swails," and and an example
may be found putting into the
river near the Watson Ranch, be-
low Thomas, and extending up
the valley west of Moreland and
north of McDonaldvllle. 1t is
used for several miles as a water.

term of payments covers a period
of ten years, at per cent, but
may be paid for sooner at the op-
tion of the purchaser. The total
cost of the land and water right
ranges from 1875. so to $50. so, ac-
cordlng to the classification of the
land purchased, and selection may
be made in person or thru a rep
resentative, but actual residence
on the land is required before title
can be obtained. Any person
over 2l years, except a married
woman, can acquire this land un-
der the conditions of The Carey
Act, and may take 40, so, 120
or 100 acres as may be desired.
These are conceded to. be
among the best in the state, and
but for the necessity of building
irrigation works on such large
scale to supply them, would have
been taken by the earliest settlers.
The climate is even better than
that of the main part of the Lost

May Ask for Warship.

New Orlenas.-It is reported on
good authority that the George D.
Emery Company of Boston is about
to ask the United States government:
to send a warship to Bluefields, Mic
aragua, to protect American interests
IN that country in case of trouble
over the approaching arbitration Of
dispute between the Nicaraguan
government and the company over
the Emery concession.
1t is reported tha. three weeks ago
the Nlcaraguan government seized
the Emery concession, claiming the
American company had violated its
contract by selling provisions and
supplies to others than its employees.
Through The efforts Of American
Minister Merry it was decided 10
submit this dispute to arbitration.
Now it is asserted that they fear they
may not receive fair treatment in the
arbitration.
It is claimed that, under the terms
of the concessions no duty is charged
by the Nicaraguan government for
supplies imported for use Of the
American employees The concessions
include part of the old Mosquito In
dian reservation.
