Lias were in Salem last Friday ON bust
ness.
Last Saturday evening about &c
young people of this neighborhood gath
cred at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Babb
to surprise their daughter Agnes, the
evening was very pleasantly spent in
playing games after which the guests
were served with lunch, consisting of
sandwiches, cake and coffee. The guests
departed at late hour having enjoyed
themselves very much.
The PaTentTcacher meeting which
was held at WhisRey Hill school house
last Friday evening was well attended
As this was the first meeting of the
kind held at this place most of the pa.
irons were there and seemed very much
interested. Some excellent talks were
given by John Waehtman, f. z. Yoder
NJ. H. Hostetler, Mrs. Ben Stanton and
Mrs. Wiley Dimick. The school also
gave a few selections.
Last Sunday the sons and daughters
of Mrs. John Kropf surprised her with
II birthday dinner at the home of Chaun-
cy Kropf on the home place. The day
was very pleasantly spent. Those pres
ent were: Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Kropf
and children, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
Kropf and children, MIR. and Mrs s. &.
Hostetler and children, Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Kropf and little son, Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. Asa Callister is seriously ILL.,
The new residence of j. D. Mishler,

is said to be very convenient.
The best report that has come to our
attention of the onion set delivery the
past week was when w. B. Mickey re-
ceived $359.77 for 25 sacks. If that price
could be realized often the grower would
wear a smile that would be hard to
hide.
Rev. j. L. Emmert went to Portland

friends near Nampa while en- route from
their home in Missouri They will make
their home on the place recently pur-

Colombia is sufficiently anti United

Ecuador has comparatively new

STORY OF GEOLOGY
OF OREGON IS TOLD
Oregon Magazine Tells of
Columbia Gorge and Great
Lava Flow

"Thc Mineral Resources of Oregon -
is the name of magazine published
monthly by the Oregon bureau of Mines
and Geology. The November 1916 is
sue is devoted entirely to the Columbia
River Gorge, its geologic history inter
preted from tie Columbia highway.
Along with other information is the
following:
The Columbia river pours into the
Pacific ocean volume of water each
year equal to sixteen cubic miles, This
is almost enough to cover the entire
state of Oregon with one foot of water.
The Columbia ranks as one of Ameri-
ca s greatest water highways There are
?, 100 miles of the river and its tribu-
taries are navigable. Than the river
Is further distinguished from the fact
that it has rleaved its whole course
through a great mountain range, some
thing very Few rivers in the world may
claim title to.
A Wonderful Gorge
But perhaps what will be better
known within few years to the world
in general is the Columbia River High
way, which, when completed, will extend
distance of 200 miles from tine mouth
of the river to The Dalles. 1t is hard
surface roadway "a feet wide. paved
with bitulithic and has no grade greater
than five per cent and the radius of its
sharpest curve is 100 feet. Ii is being
Euilt by the state of Oregon and the
counties which it crosses and by contri-
buttons from private funds.
The course of the Highway for almost
20 miles between Portland and Hood
River is in large part within the
shadowing walls of this gorge
The mountain peaks within view OF
the traveller on the Highway are well
known national names. From the north
in the state of Washington the most
commanding are Mt Baker, with its
1880 feet of heighth; Glacier Peak,
almost 10,500; Mt. Rainier, 14.50S; st.
Helens, 9,697 and Mt. Adams, l2,307
the last two being within 40 miles of the
Columbia river.
Some Great Snow Peaks.
In Oregon is the revered Mt. Hood,
less than 25 miles south of the Column
bia, with a height of II ,225 feet Fifty
miles south of Mt. Hood is Mt. Jeffer-
son 10,523 feet in height and then the
Three Sisters, each over 10000 feet
high. Mt. Thielsen is 9,17s feet and
Mt. Mclaughlin within 35 miles of the
California line, 9,491 feet high. In Cali
fornia the Mt Shasta towers over all
with its IA, ,162 feet
How are these mountain peaks made9
According to the geologist they have
all been built from the outpourings of
lavas from volcanic openings In other
words, they We're all formerly volcanos
but are all now extinct with the excep-
ton of Mt. Lassen.
The geologist in travelling over the
Columbia River Highway will note rnat
in starting from Portland, the hills
around Portland are composed largely
of dark lava called basalt largely
covered by mantle of silt or loan. On
the Linnton road may be seen much
gravel of small volcanic formation.
Mt. Tabor is 654 feet high and is com
posed of the ancient river gravel almost
to the top. On the Sandy boulevard be-
fore reaching Troutdale there is the
old gravel formation but the cliffs bey-
ond Troutdale are of volcanic lava.
