him that there wernt no man
under Heven that could make a

the barber didn't have no come

most cases the creators or vents have
closed up with molten matter which
cooled and welded the sides. Sand
and dust have been carried by the
winds to fill up the shallow pits or
crevices and vegetation, usually sage
brush, covers It over. The more re-
cent flows are still clean, like Stag
from a furnace, and the comparative
dates of the flow may be determined
to some extent by the deposits of soil
and the decayed condition of the lava
or the absence of it. Examples may
be seen within ten or fifteen miles Of
Blackfoot, Of old flows, one upon an
other, varying greatly in age, and
topped out with cinder blown from
nearby craters or pOt-holes by the
action of escaping steam or gases in
the lava after it had become too
thick and stiff to flow. Bubbles
forcing their Way to the surface
were thrown out clots Of mush-like
lava which would cool in mid-air
so that it would flatten but little
when it fell on the other rocks or
cinder. At this stage, when the flow
ceased, the molten matter in the
crater or pot-hole would recede few
feet or few yards and harden and

base Of the mountains to the west
ward up into every little valley until
it's grade was exhausted, and in one
such instance the main flow found a
new avenue of escape and was drawn
off suddenly from the foot of the
valley, leaving it covered with coat
of mail. In one place the point of
mountain extending out into the
plain, had headland at it's extremity
and the lava poured over the ridge,
leaving the headland an island in the
lava, and making cascades of lava
that hardened as they poured over
the rocky ridge.
Rivers of Lava
One old crater at the Cinder Buttes
in its earlier discharges had built
up chimney of cinder and Stag to a
height Of about seventy feet, and a
subsequent flow broke the chimney
and carried great blocks of the old
wall to a distance of ten miles from
the crater. The new lava was so hot
and so heavy that it melted a broad
deep channel thru the old lava for
a great distance, sweeping every
thing in its way and floating blocks
Of old lava weighing hundreds Of
tons. In places these blocks and
cakes of old lava lodged and formed
something just like an ice-jam in a
river, and are still imbedded in the
current where it cooled, some of the
cakes on edge, or on end like tomb
stones, and visible for miles.
Big Lost River Valley
This valley is about sixty miles
long and has a large drainage sur
face. Its arabic lands have breadth
of from five to eight miles, and most
Of the irrigating done in the valley
is with Lost river water taken direct
from the river during the irrigating
season, from May to October. The
rest Of the year the water runs down
the channel and is lost by sinking in
the Snake river plain. This water,
with that from other streams coming
from the mountains of Central Idaho
is supposed to pass into the lava
stratum, and in the course of time
to come out in springs along the
Snake river canyon between Black
foot and Weiser. When the waters
Of Snake river are practically all used
for irrigation above Blackfoot, there
is a great stream at American Falls
to furnish power and nearly all Of 1t
comes from springs along the river.
At many places below that point the
river is fed by myriads Of springs,
the water pouring out of the sides of
the lava canyon, and falling into the
river below. Thus it appears that
the great lava deposits laying hun
dreds of feet deep and having an area
of about $4,000 square miles, form
a great storage reservoir and make
Snake river one of the most mex
hausible of rivers and make 1t i'm

Great Sport of Different
Nature at Alton, Illinois
Two Editors Leave Town and the
Printers Take to Land of
Sky-Scrapers
A BIC MIx-UP

A few weeks ago there was great
sport at the old city of Alton, Ill.
Alton had two daily papers, one Of
them eighty years old, the other
somewhat younger. They had al
ways made a living; anyhow they had
lived, and pulled thru the war alive
and then announced that they would
have to raise their subscription rates
half. People said no. They wouldn't
pay it. They had become accustomed
to getting their reading matter for
nearly nothing, at the expense Of the
advertisers and they would not pay
good money for something they had
been getting nearly free.
Both newspapers su s p d 9 d.
Locked the doors and corked the
keyholes, so to speak. Nothing do
ing around the news emporiums.
Newsboys all laying off in January.
Printers visiting in Chicago. Editors
in st. Louis. No home newspapers
told who had died with the flu or who
was putting on January clearance
sales, or when or where something
was going to be done. Alton was
dead; something was gone out Of its
life.
After some six days, notices were
posted saying the Offices would be
open on the morrow to see IL there
was any business for them. On the
morrow Alton was there. 1t came
with the goods. People threw down
$1,000 bills and said, II want the
paper. Take your pay out of that"
They did not ask how much 1t would
be, but when can we get it."
Alton loves its old newspapers
now. They are classed with the re-
turned misunderstanding of the
best seat in the house, and deserving
of jobs with cash accompanying the
order" Alton publishers are happy
now. They know they are appre-
ciated, and because of the marks Of
appreciation, they and all their help
are working like the dickens again.
The papers are better than ever and
that boosts appreciation and cash
payments. It was a fine thing for
Alton to suspend for week.
The Idaho Republican has never
suspended. It merely suspended the
papers for those who neglected to
pay. There were so many who had
attended to their payments promptly
in advance, we remember them
rather than those who forgot US ut
paying time. The world wags we'll.

belt of fire holes in recent times,
ceasing perhaps at the same time it
did at Cinder Buttes.
How 1t Happened
After Lake. Idaho was drained,
volcanic action manifested itself in
upheavals and overfows of lava from
the upper part Of the valley in the
region of Market Lake on a line
southwestward past the Big Butte
near the base of the mountains at
Martin and westward thru the Wood
river country, with many deviations
from this line, but chiefly in the CEN
trail part of the Snake river plains.
In some places the lava flow ap-
preached Snake river and a great
belt of it lies parallel to the river
from five to twenty miles back from
it.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-03-28

in that condition it appears today,
with sometimes cedar tree, twenty,
thirty or sixty years old, clinging to
soil deposits made by the wind. In
many places where a spur of lava
flowed out into the plain, ten or
twenty feet deep, the substance
burned away under the edges while
it was cooling, and it split down by
its own weight while hot, and left
crevice few feet or few yards
wide, with a section of lava standing
at an angle like the roof of house.
At Cinder Buttes many of the old
craters are still open to considerable
depth, and one is bottomless so far
as Investigations have been made.
In one whose depth is about fifty feet
there is a body of snow that has
drifted in and lies there in the form
of white ice in August protected from
the wind and sun.
The upbuilding of the lava west
of the Big Butte, covered portion
of the alluial fan referred to which
formed from the wash from Big Lost
river A great belt of lava en-
croached upon it along the south, and
flowed across it within few miles
of old Arco, joining with the bench
on the north and east, at the foet of
the mountains. The river cut thru
1t at the lowest point, making a
canyon several miles long, just above
Powell Flat. A spur of lava flowed
into the valley, extending up as far
as the ranches owned by Ira, George
and Charles Pelkey. This spur
forced the river down in the present
channel, and the spur held the flow
until it wore its way thru five or six
miles of solid lava. Closing the up
per end of the canyon you will con-
vert the low lands above it again
into a lake.
Grand Volcanic Phenomena
Lovers of nature and natures
forces can see the record of grandest
volcanic operations between the Big
Butte and Wood river, Cinder Buttes
being central point One lava flow
has followed another with varying
results. One crater 800 feet in
diameter has poured out stream of
lava as thin as water, that flowed
for twenty miles and spread out to
great width. Following along the

appreciation of the hospitality
shown US while in the beautiful
town of Rockingham. Every
one was pleased with her home
assignment and we who were
assigned to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. LeGrand Everett, feel that
we were especially fortunate for
they were so kind and obliging
and thoughtful for our every
comfort that we really became
attached to them while guests in
their home. Mrs. Everett de-
serves and has our heartfelt
thanks for her nice arrangement
in placing us all.
