SUMMER BUSINESS
WAS SATISFACTORY

With the nominal close of summer
the real estate agents are casting W
their season 8 business and from every
quarter come reports. of one of the most
active summers in the history Of the
business locally.

sites in the handsome subdivision, and
President Fl. c. Hoffman Of the com
pany in discussing the situation Sat
urday said:
We are more than satisfied with
the progress made so far. Marl-
borough place is popular close.in
subdivision, not only with Salt
Lakers but with many out-of-town
people. We have sold great many
building lots in the addition and
several fine homes are already un.

as soon as they are finished and I
look for building activity to keep
on through the fall in splendid
shape, Few people realize the
large amount of building that is
going on in southeast Salt Lake.

In an effort to learn the scource of
rumors to the effect that business has
been falling off, the Utah Association
Of Credit Men sent out letters to the
various members of the association and
an article in the Credit News for Au-

out over this vast eXpanSe of blue
and watch the ever-changing glim-
mer of light. In the heat rays it
changes and fades from delicate
purple to blue black. AS many OF
our party expressed 1t, this sight
alone was worth the trip. One has
to see it to- understand and appre-
ciate the immensely of it.
Along the extreme northern and
eastern sides of this flow are num-
bers Of tree molds. These have been
formed by the molten lava coming in
contact with growing trees and cool
ing around the stumps, taking the
impression of the bark down to its
minutest detail. The stumps of the
trees afterward caught fire and
burned out, leaving a perfect mold.
1t has long been thought that the
Indians of the Snake river valley OBJ
tanned the obsidian for their arrow
points and knives from either the
obsidian cliffs of the Yellowstone or
from the. obsidian walls near the
Three Sisters peaks of central Ore
gon. This was disproved by the find
ing Of immense quantities Of black
obsidian glass thrown out around
several of the spatter cones found
on the trip. These places show I'M
mistakeable signs Of having been
Quarried by the Indians.
AT the DEVILS Caldron.
Half a mile to the east of our
camp at the upper end of the Lost
valley we could see the remnants Of
an ancient volcano. This crather, I'M
like the other we had been observ-
ing, seemed to be formed by a cir
cular wall of rocks standing on edge
and from to 20 feet in height. The
center between those containing
walls was composed of a pool of
lava which had the appearance of
being instantly cooled while it had
been furiously boiling. All of the
bubbles, rolls, steam and gas vents
were perfectly preserved, and some
Of the. party, as they stood on the
edge and looked down, remarked
that they almost expected to see
them move. This place was called
the Devils Caldron."
A World Of Flowers.
Another of the features which in
terested members of the party was
the profusion of wild flowers. Pussy
paws, lupines, both white and vari-
gated; snap dragons, asters, buck
brush and rock roses were in bloom
on all sides, while in many places
the red and yellow buds of the cow
burst into full blossom. AS we climb
ed many of the cliffs the rich, sweet
almost overpowering odor of the
wild laurel was prevalent. On the
cinder flats variety of pigmv buck
wheat raised a delicate yellow and
gray flower above it's cluster of
white leaves. There were several va
rieties of flowers much resembling
hlue and yellow daisies and in places
the hillsides were almost scarlet
with the flowers of the paint brush
Although the writer has made a
of trips into this region, he
has been so interested in the many
curious rock formations he did not
realize the profusion of floral and
tree life until il was called to his
attention by Clarence Starcher. Her.

they crawled across and awoke the
packer, T. M. Etrohmeyer, who as
soon as he could be made to realize
the danger, managed to get a gun
and, followed by the vigilant one,
carefully directing flashlight,
crept up toward the grub pile to
find three large pack rats greatly
enjoying themselves, tustling with
tin cans, knives and spoons. 1t Is
needless to say that his shouts Of
laughter awake the entire camp,
much to the embarrassment of the
person who had first heard the COM
motion.
In the Leaders Note Book.
This, except for the trek out, end
ed the trip and as one Of the club
members wrote in my note book,
1.-THE end Of the finest trip we have
ever been on through one of the
greatest scenic wonders in the world
and which will undoubtedly become
one of the most visited Of the ma
tion's Fairgrounds"
Some Indian Legends.
According to Limbert, the Indians
of the present or a recent genera
ton summed up all data regarding
volcanic action in the statement

ers father spoke Of the land ATTIRE"
Geological Evidence.
According to the geological party
of 1901, the latest eruptions occurr-
ed about the time of the Revolu-
tionary war. Other geologists who
have studied the craters district fix
ed the time at approximately the
same period, while some of those
who studied it within the past year
have said it might better be fixed
at as far back as the beginning of
the Christian Era. The writer eX-
amined trees at the margins of the
River of Lava, said to be the latest
flow, and counted rings on stump
where the tree had been cut in the
present generation and found the
tree was 100 years old plus the in
terval elapsing since the tree was
cut down. The stump was about
foot in diameter and was within six
feet of the edge of the lava stream
and rooted in older lava. The shell
of another tree nearby was equally
close to the late flow. 1t was about
four feet in diameter and if it grew
least 500 years old when it died.
Then after a long period it started
to decay, and may have been a
thousand years decaying. If new
lava flowed within six feet of
large tree and went under it's
branches it might be expected to
burn. The tree that had been cut
off at the age Of 1870 years was alive
when it was cut, AS indicated by the
condition of the stump. An examin-
alton of other trees along the brink
of the new flow did not reveal any
Of them burned or charred by the
heat on the lava side. Many trees
are still growing on masses of float
that travelled down the River of
Lava until they lodged or froze in
by the cooling of the stream. Others
on the float are dead and show su.f-
ficienet age to have existed $50 or
200 years ago and are not charred.
Further tests will be made by saw

camera we heard one the young
women of the party scream and the
excited shouts of several others.
Happening to be packing the only
gun on the party, | had visions of
bear as we had seen fresh tracks
just two days before. Running for
ward, we found the girls perched on
a huge boulder and all excitedly
pointing off the southwest where
two large reddish colored bobcats
stock looking at them.
A Bridge and Waterhole.
A few hundred yards below the
spot we found a new natural bridge
where a pause was made for lunch
and to explore the depths of near
by cave. We also found three water
holes along this assure and in each
instance the water was icy cold. In
one Of them sun ray was reflected
down a crevice by means of a mirror
and member of the party lowered
down by ropes for a distance of ov-
er IS feet.
The assure along which we had
been travelling made an abrupt turn
to the east and after a bare space
of about mile opened up to the
southwest again, where it continued
as before with bright red lava spat-
ter cones every short distance. This
assure made still another break and
after bare space of perhaps a half
mile picked up again a quarter of
a mile to the east at a slightly diff
ferent angle
Crevice so Miles Long.
Climbing to the top of butte we
traced this fissure for distance of
over SO miles with a crevice plainly
showing for practically the entire
distance.
Tie members Of the party were
enthusiastic in declaring the sights
Of the south end the equal if not
superior to those observed further
north and unanimous in stating that
the boundaries of the monument
should be enlarged to the south
ward
| remember one night as we sat
on the crest of one of the cinder
buttes and watched a sunset how
several of the party visualized the
route Of a roadway which will some
day, not very far in the future tray
erse this interesting country ada
cent to Minidoka, Kimima, Sho-
shone and Twin Falls with the nor,
thern end along a routing which for
interesting sights cannot be surpass-
ed.
Forty Thousand Acres of Blue.
At the point farthest south reach
ed by the expedition it was decided
to split the party into two sections
in order to cover a greater scope of
country on the return journey. The
party which swung to the east came
in that night with the announcement
they had discovered a blue dragon
flow Of lava much more vivid and of
far greater eXpanse than the one
known to the north. This flow upon
examination proved to be nearly 60
square miles in extent and shaped
somewhat like fan. The color was
a bright vivid cobalt blue with oc-
casional streaks of a deep blue
black. Instead of being the natural
color of the lava as one would nat

the wisdom of fighting them. Those
who refused to carry on retired to
their place of seclusion in the desert
and the war was lost. When the
survivors retreated into the desert
to join their kindred they were no
where to be found, altho they hunt
ed In all sections of the great f1s-
sure and the stock and game pre-
serves shown in the region pictured
in the Powell map.
The Indians interpreted this to
mean that the Great Father was dis
pleased with them for going to war
at all or possibly displeased with
the others for disagreeing and being
divided among themselves, so He
took the noncombatants to Himself
or removed them from the earth as
a punishment. One version seemed
as reasonable as the other and it
was a sad memory, so the survivors
did not like to talk about it; some
of them were conscientious object
ors to ever again venturing into the
place.
Old Timer Speaks.
Jake Baird of Springfield says he
can guide us to cliff carvings in
the region; and when spring comes
an effort will be made to photograph
them and have Professor Rees inter-
pref them for publication. If such
calamity occurred, there will prob
ably be some record of it, the same
as there is a record in the Black
foot canyon of the washout and the
draining of the old lake at the pres
ent site of the Blackfoot storage
reservoir.
Saddle Horses for Park Service.
Adrian Parsons when interviewed
regarding the Lost Valley on the
22nd of January, 1927, said that he
and his brother, Ed and B. F. Han
sen found their way into three in
teresting sections of it in 1912 and
1913 and did not complete their ex-
plorations. At the present time, in
view of the prospect of it being set
aside as national park, with need
for saddle horses for tourists, he
feels that further exploration ought
to be made to plot the country af-
fording forage and water for so
much of the season as it iXists and
to develop possible water supplies
not now known or available without
pumping or blasting out obstruc-
tions. Perhaps Mr.. Harvey Allred's
maps made in 1913 will be valuable
for deciding how much shall be in
cluded in the park lines when the
measure is drawn, which may be the
present winter.
The Parsons-Indian Trail.
Mr.. Parsons says the way to ap-
proach it is to go by auto about 35
miles west from Sterling, then by
horses about twenty miles north and
west to the entrance into the lavas
The route follows across three belts
Of lavas varying in width from one
mile to four or five miles with open
pasture country between. In the last
section he visited there was abund-
ant grass and water until late in the
summer many deer, very gentle and
unafraid, and good many bears.
The area seemed to be upwards of
fifty square miles, but they gave it
only a couple Of days examination
