A NEW ENGLAND CONFLICT.
Sea and Sun Gain Victory Over Ie
 Masses.

Ages before the bitter struggle of the whites and Indians for the posses sion of New England, a fiercer strug-
 gle for dominion was waged there be- tween the ice and the sea. Huge glaciers. thosuands of feet deep and hundreds of miles wide. came down to New England from distant Labra- dor. For thousands of years a strug- gle ragged between the sea and the ce. First the ice was victor; it pushed back the sea for scores of miles. Then the sun joined issue and the ice re- treated before it's power, not steadily
 but with halts and with spurts of new Vigor and stronger advance. One of these halts, before the final wane of the power of the ice, is recorded in a peculiar ridge known as the New 1ngton moraine, which runs through southern Maine and New Hampshire into Massachusetts.
 This moraine is composed of gravel, sand, and stones secured by the ice from lands far and near and borne
 within it to it's edges, where these
 it's grasp and fell into the sea, to be
 pounded and shifted by waves and
 currents and strewn over the shores
 and the shadows.
 Then the ice melted and withdrew,
 other great forces of mature entered
 the melee and the crust of the earth rose 100 feet or more. So the frag- ments of rocks that had been piled in
 front of the ice were lifted from the sea and now appear as a long ridge,
 the sand and gravel of the sea floor becoming sandy uplands. sOn the dry, smooth tops of these uplands farms were cleared and villages were built the early settlers choosing to culti- vate their sandy soil rather than to labor at clearing countless bouIders from the richer hills on the west or at painfully tilling the ledgy ground on the east.
 Health came to the dwellers on this dry and well-drained ridge, and now visitors by thosuands go there in sum mer to gain fresh Vigor. The most modern need of all, the need of fine
 material for making highways, is met
 by the grave1s of these ancient depos-
 it's of the ice and the sea.
 The Newington moraine is described
 in Professional Paper 10s-B of the
 United States Geological Survey, De-
 partment of the Interior, a paper by F. J. KAtz and Arthur Keith. This paper is of interest to the layman
 whether resident or visiting in the region, because it explains the origin
 of a prominent geographic feature It is of value to the highway engineer because it outlines the distribution of valuable road materials. The student of geology may find this paper an in- teresting addition to his knowledge of Pleistocene deposits, as it describes a when the ice front stood in the sea and that consists of several segments stretching along a sinuous 60-miIe course near the Atlantic coast be- tws II Saco, Maine, and Newbury Mass The paper brings out an in- teresting relation between the glacial deposits and certain marine forma- tions whose age has been somewhat in doubt but which have now been as- signed to late Wisconsin, substage.

Wallace Preparing Great Patriotic
Demonstration for Fourth of Julu

., "A. Olin. 1t is expected that a meet
ing of this committee will be called be-
fore the end of the week, when defin-
ite plans will be outlined and prepara-
tion for the celebration will be taken
up in earnest.
There will be no fireworks this year
and it is understood that. while an in
teresting program of sports will be
arranged it will be on a less extensive
scale than formerly, for the feeling
prevails that as the people generally
are responding literally in the pur-
chase of liberty bonds, the support of
the Red Cross and in other respects in
connection with preparation for war,
they should not be asked at this time
to subscribe a large fund for prizes on
the Fourth of July. In fact it is EVIL
dent that the dominant idea is to
make the Fourth OF July celebration
this year more than ever a grand pa
triotic demonstration, and At is belev-
ed that the temper of the people is
such that they will turn out in great
numbers for that purpose alone. Wal
lace will extend a cordial welcome to
the people from all parts of the dis
trict and will be prepared with pro-
gram that will make a better Ameri-
can out of every citizen who attends.

DIRECT FROM THE JUNGLE.
Consignment Of Wild Beasts to Be
First Exhibited in Wallace.

The first lot of wild animals to reach
this country since the beginning of the
war in 1914 will reach Spokane Sat-
furday from Victoria. consigned to AL
G. Barnes. the circus king. The first
exhibition of these animals will be
given at Wallace, as the circus shows
here on Monday Immediately after the
Spokane engagement These animals
were brought over on the Niagara, an
English boat, and were ten months in
making the trip from India, via Aus
tralia, to Victoria. AL G. Barnes was
in Victoria yesterday experimenting
their shipping to Spokane. Especially
curious among the lot are Dingoes,
emus, TasnMnian devils, Marsepial
wolves, Tasmanian tigers, wallabies
and red giant giraffes.
1t Is not often that in Wallace we
have the opportunity of having a pre-
nier performance of this description,
but luck is with us in this instance
and the first showing of the first lot
, of animals to arrive since the war will
be here on Monday next, when the AL
G. Barnes circus is in town.

The company has mill of so tons

TITANIC LEGAL BATTLE IN FEDERAL COURT.
MINING ON NORTH SIDE
TERR|BLE.EDITH SHIPS
MINING AND BUSINESS HANDl-
CAPPED BY LACK OF RAIL
ROAD TRANSPORTATION.

- DAM AULBACH, the pioneer
~ citizen of Murray whose faith
N in the future of the North
Side has never faltered, was
in the city for a brief visit last week.
He states that the outlook for mining
in the vicinity of Murray was never
better, but that operations and busi-
ness generally are seriously handicap
ped by the failure of the O.-W. r. &
N, company to repair the damage to
the North Side railroad wrought by
the high water of few weeks ago. A
bridge just above Pritchard was placed
out of commission and the. company
seems in no hurry to repair or rebuild
it. situation that is working great
hardship on that section of the dis
trict 1t has delayed work on the big
dredging enterprise undertaken by the
Yukon Gold company, a Guggenheim
corporation. Considerable ore is
awaiting shipment and business gener-
ally is seriously hampered by the de-
lay in repairing the railroad line.
Terrible Edith.
The Terrible Edith company, of
which Wash Snyder is the controlling
owner and in which Mr.. Aulbach is
interested has large abount of ore
both dead and zinc, awaiting shipment.
The property is being worked under
the personal direction of Mr.. Snyder
and large amount of ore is reported
available for shipment. The property
is equipped with compressor driven
by gasoline, for which electric power
will probably be substituted upon the
completion of the line of the Washing
ton Water Power company. The pre-
sent working tunnel Of the Terrible
Edith has developed ground to a depth
of over 700 feet with proved ore prac-
ticaAy to the surface. and it is pos
sible to gain further depth of several
hundred feet by tunnel. Both lead and
zinc shipments are high grade. A
few years ago the property made the
record high grade shipment of lead,
carload averaging above so per cent.
Several carloads are now being haul
ed to the railroad to await the open
ing of the road.
