much harder, and more resistant 10
weather and erosion than the other
rocks of the region.
Defines "BarabOo."
1t is the second appearance of
the quartzite as low ridges
that gives it special interest
to biologists and geogrephers.
The ancient topography of the quart
ute ridges are preserved IN the later
sandstone somewhat in the same
manner as the fossils of the Cambrian
sea. The ranges as we see them are
in reality fossil ridges or monadnocks,
and Prof. Davis of Harvard who likes
to give names to types of geographic
features in order to emphasize the
difference in geologic history of this
type of Monadnock from that of Mt.
Monadnock of New Hampshire, has
named it a "Baraboo. "A"Baraboo" is a
resurrected mountain or monadnock,
and as such it represents the remnant
of the oldest mountain range in the
Oldest plain in our geological history.
Other mountain ranges probably
existed still earlier, but no traces of
them now remain.
Coming of the Ice Sheet
In the latest part Of the geologic
history of the region, in relatively
recent time, when great ice sheets
covered the northern half of North
America, the eastern part of the Bara-
boo ranges was buried beneath the
ice which advanced into this region
from the east and northeast. The
edge of the ice reached the vicinity
of Devils Lake but did not extend
over the region to the west of the
lake. The extension of the ice into this
region is well shown by the distribution
Of the glacial deposits of polished
and rounded boulders mixed with
clay and sand that extend over the
region to the east which was over
spread by the ice, while to the west no
glacial deposits are to be found.
How Devils Lake was Formed.
Before the ice sheet extended into |
his region, in fact long before the |
glacial period, the valley of river ex-
ended through the gap in the quart
lite ranges in which lies Devils lake.
And Devils lake owes it's existence to !
he ice which blocked up this valley
At two points located short distance
% the east and to the north of the
axe. To the southeast of the lake the
leep valley formerly followed by the
arge stream that flowed through the
zap in the range may be clearly seen.
The development of Devils lake in
he gap is mere episode in the his
Dry of the region. The gap in the
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1912-08-08

was worn away, for the same reason
as before, because the quartzite is
much harder, and more resistant TO
weather and erosion than the other
rocks of the region.

ELKO MINISTER SAYS OWNER
OF AUSTIN RAILROAD DOES
NOT REVERE FLAG.

Rev. George H. Greenfield OF
Elko. who is cruising through South
American waters on a big pleasure
boat, has written to one of his home
papers an interesting account of a
portion of the trip. Among other
things he comments upon the refusal
of two of the passengers to pay
obeisance to the Stars and Stripes"
The man in the case is G. Phelps
Stokes of New York, who owns the
Austin railroad. That portion of
Mr.. Greenfeld's correspondence fol-
lows
Considerable feeling has been
aroused on our ship over the re-
fusal of G. Phelphs Stokes and wife,
millionaires of New York, refusing
to rise when our orchestra plays
the Star Spangled Banner and
also their contempt for the Stars
and stripes. They are advocates
of socialism and are doing much
to spread that propaganda Many
of our passengers who were some
what in sympathy with the socialistic
movement have taken firm stand
In opposition since the attitude of
these promoters of the cause has
been explained. Perhaps you are
not aware that the socialistic move
ment of our country insults our
flag and raises the red flag of re-
bellion above it. Mr. Stokes owns
the Austin railroad and also has
mining interests at Berlin"

WILL NOW SINK
DEEP WELL FOR
ARTESIAN WATER

Wills Brougher, who has been
carrying on a number of expert
ments on wells at his farm north
of town, has decided to try a deep
well below the bedrock and see If
there is a greater flow at that point.
A few days ago he started a we'll
with the small hydraulic machine
that has been used to sink for the
flows that he now has on the
place. AT a depth of 25 feet he
encountered rock which prevented
any further work at that particular
point with the machine. He i'm
mediately made arrangements for
the state drilling rig. which is well
equipped for work in hard rock,
as il is of the churn variety. He
expects to equip the rig with hy-
draulic attachments and thus make
it up-to-date and efficient for the
work in hand.
The new well, which is situated
at the extreme north end OF the
farm, on the high land, will be
sunk to a depth that will either
prove a big flow underneath or dis
prove the hope that such a system
of underground water exists. The
well will start with a ten-inch
