Ctiees and Sugar Factories
When the irrigation project is con.
sumated the Snake river plains will
produce vast quantities of sugar
beets. There will be sugar factories
and cities and towns and there will
be demands for tremendous
amount of road building materials
The eastern butte seems to afford an
unlimited amount of such material.
Samples of it have been brought in
to be sent to the department of pub
lie roads, at Washington, d. C. for
analysis and assay, and report of
it will be published in this paper as
soon as it is received.

it, and trains can be loaded by means

manufacturing cement, an enormous
screening plant could be installed
and the materials that are too coarse
to be used directly in road work
could be made into cement. The
consumption of cement for construc-
ton work in the Snake river valley
for the next generation will be
stupenduous and the vast wealth that
this mountain affords in the central
position will be a source of enormous
value to the valley. Modern
methods of handling these heavy ma
terials for road building, by the
power of steam and gravity would
enable the population of this new
civilization to build substantial roads
everywhere and the mountain COM
monty called the east Butte is suf-
ficient in size to last for many gen.
erations as a supply depot for such
materials.

How to Reach Picnic Gounds

HOW W nCtCIl Il lCHlC UouuuS
The distance to the Mayohi, the
great cave in the plains where din
ner will be served, is 1913 miles
Our statement made heretofore, that
it was thirty-two miles was based
on misinformation. The line of
travel will be across Snake river
bridge, west, thru Riverside, the
banner precinct that voted 100 per
cent in favor of road bonds. From
there, westward thru Rockford to a
point fourteen miles straight west
from The Republican office. Then
north past the Thorpe farm, driving
west and north among the farms into
Taber, then north 1873 miles to the
Idaho Falls, Arco road, then west
1.3 miles to the cave.

best lines of travel and it will take
from two and a half to three hours
to make the run, allowing for a
leisurely trip thruout There will
be no effort at high speed excepting
on choice sections of road. Farmers
along the way will join in the process
sion and the party will be passing
thru Taber between 10 and IL
O'Clock.

feet. Persons who have assembled it
say that it requires about three hours
for party to go up and back.
Ambitious Picnicers Will Ascend
1t is the intention for the Sun
day party to have dinner at the
mouth of the cave, from IL until 2
o'clock and then if it is agreeable to
the picnicers, the great string of
autos will be lined up in a semi
circle on the west side of the eastern
butte, about half a mile from the
base, and the ambitious folks who
wish to go on top will be taken in
cars as far up the slope as the driver
wishes to carry them, and the rest
of the people will sit back in their
cars and watch the ascent and wit
ness the rolling of some rocks, by
the party making the ascent Every
body is instructed to either join the
party going up or keep clear out of
the way, as far back as the line of
autos, so there will be no danger
from rolling rocks.

Nature Affords Tretty Trip

! From Tilden Flats the road fol-
lows the section line northward for
miles thru the cedars, making a very
picturesque trip. There are two or
three joys in the road, but when the
destination is reached, the. parties
will be straight north of Taber and
thirty-four miles due north from the
old original site of Fort Hal on
Snake river. The road passes be-
tween the two eastern buttes. 'nne
pass, or saddle-bacls, between the
two buttes is an open plain covered
with a very short growth o. sage
and grease wood.
Great Mou1tain of. Wealth
1t seems designed for fine stock
farm with thousands If acres of land
surrounding it on the south and
west. The middle butte, on the cast
ern and northern slopes for a great
distance, is covered with a bet of
loose lava rock. A great ring or
winnow reaching around it, hundreds
of yards wide, apparently containing
millions of tons in the belt. 1t
seems especially designed for build
ing stone. The east butte is of
soft lime rock formation and A. F.
Willicke, who has given considerable
study to the matter, says he believes
it is suitable for making cement.
This rock exists in great perpen-
dicular cliffs on the western slope,
with lose rock and fine material ap-
parently making up the greater body
OF. the mountain slope. Around the
base of the butte is a talus slope
reaching out about a quarter of
mile and autos can drive we'll up onto
this slope

surrounding plain, is probably 1900

deliver a cargo of water at the May
obi for domestic use and radiators.
