FIR TREES ARE FOUND
231 FEET IN EARTH

LA GRANDE, Ore, Aug. IA
Strange things are being dug from
subterranean strata on the Nip Con-
ley ranch near Cove. Well Digger
Wockensparger yesterday afternoon
punctured a strum of quicksand at a
point 23I feet below the surface of
the now treeless Sandridge country
that contains untold traces of fir
trees, twigs and the like. The prin-
cipal is of the quick sand variety and
each bale that comes to the surface
is well mixed with small twigs, pieces
of fir bark, pieces of wood and other
indications of vegetation. The wood
is in fair state of preservation and
hardens quickly when brought to the
air.
Biologists and near geologists take
the unique incident as conclusive
proof that Grande Ronde valley was
once lake and that in prehistoric
ages trees dotted portions Of it-per
chance an island or two were cover
ed with fir trees; again perchapce,
some driftwood was fastened to the
bottom of the then huge lake and
when the iceflows from the north
gouged out and scratched America
These same trees were covered uT
with deposits scooped from else
where. Erosion eventually filled sew
eral hundred feet of drift and soil'
and icefield deposits until the vale!

bringing up strange objects from th'
