Last week We published the
election proclamation of the
County Commissioners calling
a special election for Scptem-
Der 2nd, 1919, for the purpose
Of voting on issuing bonds in
the denomination Of $15O,OOO
for the purpose Of building
roads throughout the county of
Powder River
In view of the fact that DOS
slbly some of our readers do
not understand thoroughly the
whole facts of the case we will
try to give You all an idea of
just how this will work.
Some time ago the Congress
Of the United States passed Il
law appropriating millions Of
dollars for the purpose Of
building roads throughout the
United States and in order to
get amy of this money the va
rious counties were obliged to
put up an equal amount asked
and the government would give
the same amount. Now. ac-
cordiny to the Powder River
County bond issue Of S15O,OOO
we will get the same amount
from the federal government
making 100000 in all to be
used in building roads over the
county. This amount should
help to put the roads in Il pass
able condition throughout the
entire year for the work mist

Of the State Highway Cpmmis-

valley was simply a cleft or rent IN
the earth's crust. At another time
he imagined it formed by the sudden
dropping back of large block in the
course of the oonvulsions that result
ed in the uplift of the Sierra Nevada.
Galen Clark. following him, carried
on his idea of an origin by force. In
stead of the walls being cleft apart
however, he imagined the explosion
of close-set domes of molten rock the
driving power but conceived that ice
and water erosion finished the job.
With Clarence King the theory of gla-
cial origin began its long career John
Muir carried this theory to its ex-
treme.
Since the period of Muir's specula-
tions. the tremendous facts concern
ing the part played by erosion in the
modification of tho earth's surface
trata have been developed. Begin
ming with w. II. Turner. a group of
Yosemite students under the modern
influence worked upon the theory of
the stream-cut valley modified by
glaciers. The United States Geologi-
cal Survey the nentered the field. and
Matthes's minute Investigations fol-
lowed.
The fact. as advanced by Mates, Is
that the Yosemite valley was cut from
the solid granite nearly to it's present
depth by the Merced river, long be-
fore the beginning of the glacial Pc
riod: before the glaciers arrived the
river cut valley was already twenty
four hundred feet deep opposite El
Captain, and three thousand feet deep
opposite Eagle Peak. The valley was
then V-shaped, and the present wa
terfalls were cascades;l - those which
are now the Yosemite Falls were 1890
feet deep, and those of Sentinel creek
two thousand feet deep. UA tatg
1t was not the dawdling modern
Merced river that cut this chasm, but
a torrent which, day and night for
several million years, swept with ter
rifle force down a sharply tilted bed,
sand-papering its path with the fric-
ton Of the masses OF sand and gram
lite fragments borne down from the
high Sierra That the river could

Of years without cutting down to a
level, choking up with the sand and
