The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1909-05-06

When the foundations of the earth
were broken up, when the craters
opened and spouted forth their rivers
of fiery, molten lava, this section was
one of the widest spots in the history
of this globe 1t happened-oh, so
many years ago. The mind of man
can hardly grasp the significance of
the figures. It may have been a hun
dred thousand years ago: it may
have been millions of years instead.
But if it were only the smaller fig
ure, it was beyond the memory of
1000 generations of centenarians-
and the oldest man that most people
have ever known, was probably less
than 100 years of age; his memory,
so much of 1t as was reliable, was
probably not more than so years.
Twelve hundred and fifty generations
ago-truly long time.
In that humanity inconceivable time
though a mere Pigment of time in
the history of the world and its MAX

ing white hot and fervent as a fur
mace, cooled down to a dull red |
then they blackehed like the dying
coal in the CRATE; and finally they
were cold and dead. Contraction of "
the cooling stuff opened up cracks
in the once molten surface; cracks,
air bubbles, miniature craters, caverns
and canyons, remained as mute evil
dences of the throes of nature. Then
came other changes: Across one
of these dead stone fields, swept the
glaciers from the towering noun
tains; vast rivers of ice, that scored
and polished, bringing with them the
gravel and boulders from a thousand
cliffs. This history is
written in the gravel and rounded-off
boulders that may be found in so
many places over the vast lava &
ields of Idaho; and the glaciers them /

catello.

The Oregon Short Line is prepar
ing for an exceptional business this
year, as may be judged from the fact
that orders have been placed for the
delivery of $4,000 tons of coal at Pc
cateno, where the coal is stored for
the Idaho division. This would make
65 train loads, the biggest trains
that could be well crowded on the
track; and it represents something
like $35O,OOO in money.
Thirty engines are standing in the
Pocatello yards and shops, cleaned,
repaired and ready to steam up at
an hours notice. A general over
hauling ofthe rolling stock has been
gong on this winter, getting ready
for the revival of business, until the
road could handle volume of traffic
that would astonish even old and ex-
perienced railroad men. Besides this,
a number of passing tracks have been
built since the slump of 1907, until
the Short Line is to a considerable
extent a double track system. 1t
could now handle more business than
it ever handled; both in the matter
of engine and car equipment, and in
the handling of trains across the long
stretches where there used to be no
passing tracks, tying up the single
ling of track for half hour or an
hour at time, whereas with the
short intervals between switches the
trains can be kept almost continually
on the move.
The trans coming west have never
been more crowded than now. 1t is
100 early for the Seattle fair, but
thousands of home-seekers are head
ng westward, looking for homes.
Probably a larger percentage of these
people are stopping in Idaho this
Tear than ever before. For num-
,er of years the coast: Oregon, Wash
ngton, California, attracted the ma

Prof. w. C. Thompson, superin-
tendent of the Shoshone pubic school
was in Richfield Saturday, on his way
out to the big dam, and stopped here
again on his way home, Sunday night.
4 He is one of the best ameture pho
ographers in the West, his work
ranking with the best of the profess
sional class. The Recorder publish
ers acknowledge the receipt of a num-
Der of his finest views, which are
works of real art. Among them is
magnificent view of Shoshone Falls,
probably the finest ever taken, and
reproduced and enlarged from the
original negative until it is d really
imposing view.
Prof. ]. F. Lenker, who taught the
first school in Richfeld=it was AL
berta then-was in town Saturday.
He is now principal of the schools at
Gooding, with a very desirable posi-
ton. He recently sold his 40 acres
east of town, to E. M. Blake, mana
ger for the Idaho Irrigation company.
He still owns some residence prop
erty in town, which he believes is
worth holding.

cation Company, made trip to
Boise Thursday night.

New boxes and a lot more room
for the postal department of the
Richfield, are promised by Postmast-
er Reeves, to be supplied in the
very near future. The enclosed
space will be more than doubled over
what it is now, and a fine lot of
lock boxes will be installed, enough
for all who desire them. The large
nubmer of patrons of the office have
made it necessary to provide more
room There are approximately 800
people now getting mail here, be-
