In the summer of 1913 the writer
and family were living in Idaho, and
took a vacation trip one Sunday to
the series of four lakes in the top OF
Mt. Independence, Cassia County,
Idaho, about twelve miles out from
Oakley.
Mt. Independence bears every in
dication of having once been an &C
tive crater, as far as shape OF the
mountain top is concerned; but as no
igneous rock could be found and as
n lava was nearer than several
miles, the eruption making t h a
mighty mountain l 8 possibly o
from an old former active crater,
although the upheaval of sand stone
and granite rock to that height l s
certainly connected with a terrific
volcanic cataclysm. Marble, granite
and sand stone were found; but no
lava directly on the crater site: how
ever, within four miles west much
lava could b g found, and farther
away, on nearly all sides, were extern
sive lava beds. The precipice of Mt.
Independence is sheer drop of 500
fetal solid rock-from the top to
the lake level. The elevation of this
mountain, given in the official maps
of Idaho, is 1851 feet, so that the
lake level is actually ten thou
sand feet above sea level.
This beautiful lake in extent s
just about the size Of one of Delta s
city blocks, say an acre and quar-
ter. And it is fed entirely by one
monstrous snowdrift, tucked away in
the cuplike crater of the peak. The
day we visited the chain of lakes was
a hot sizzler in August,-boiling hot
down in the low lying valley but up
there it was as cool as could be. But
the altitude was plainly told by puff
fing and the trip-hammer heart ac-
ton.
The water was ice cold, clear as a
crystal, and in the stiffness, as high
~ PClloACu 40 a H CHCi P10IC I'LL VI .
The setting of the lake was most
beautiful: for there in the rugged
rocks in the cup OF a perfectly form
ed half-crater, lay this lake, with
trickling little rills running into it
I r m nearby snowbanks; jays
screeching from the pine tops at the
intruder; echoes reverberating from
the crags, and at fitful times, the
least play of low breeze as a puff
OF air shimmered the surface of the
water. And this beauty spot of Ma
ture named 1.-THE DEVILS Pot Hole.'
II Old Nick Is in the habit of trying
his hand out, he certainly did we'll in
that little effort.
There are four of those little lakes
nestled away that spot forming
a little chain, which seen from above
formed most fascinating picture.
The lowest lake was stocked with
fist, great big fellows, which could be
seen swimming lazily about; but fol
some reason they would not bite
No manner of fly or bait could temp
them during the hours we were
there.

Editor SoliloquiZeS On
Mammoth Aztec Bean

Last spring a lady gave US
some beans said to have come
from the ruins Of the Cliff Dwell
ers. These beans are sure a
wonder. We had good luck with
them and raised about a peck of
the largest beans we ever saw.
We don't think for quality
they are any better thata frijole
or any more productive. They
are fine string beans but rather
coarse. Now to coon these big
beans you stand one on end in a
kettle of water and boil about
two hours, then change ends
and boil the other end. Keep
enough water in the kettle to
reach the middle of the bean.
Some say they cook better if
you bore an auger hole through
them. Anyhow, they are good
beans. In case you should drop
one on the floor, slip a water
bucket on each end and lift by
the balls, except a very large
one; in that case. run a broom
handle under it and get couple
of the neighbors to help you. A
dozen of these beans will make
you a good meal. Springerville

Navajo County at
Arizona State Fair

Frank ]. Willis, fair commits
sioner, arrived in town Tuesday
from Phoenix where he had
charge of Navajo county's ex-
hibit at the state fair held in
the capitol city last week.
Every county in the state had
bigger and more varied displays
of products of all kinds than
ever before, which goes to show
that more interest is taken in
the fair each year and that it is
now recognized as an "institu-
ton" that has come to stay.
Although Mr.. Willis on ac-
count of weeks seige of the
grip" was delayed in prepar-
ing Navajo county's exhibit, yet
the display. especially in dry
farm products, was said by
many to have topped" them
all.
Forty-fve ribbons were gath
cred by Navajo county, and we
were a close second to Coconino
on potatoes. Most of the towns
in the county had something in
the big display and the ribbons
were pretty well scattered among
them.
Mr.. Willis desires to thank all
those who contributed exhibits
and in any way assisted in max
ing the Navajo county display
a success at the fair.

when youngster and gets the
seat of his pants padded for
something he didn't do until he
is sick at heart. He groweth
up like a weed in the back yard,
and soon reaches the age when
he is composed largely of feet,
freckles and appetite.
About the time he gets too
long for short trousers and not
long enough for long ones he
goeth away to college. learneth
how to monkey with three
dollar madolin and play Whisky
poker. He cometh home big
ger fool than ever and marrieth
a sweet young thing whose pa
is supposed to be wealthy, but
whom is subsequently ascertain
eth, couldn't buy a prize rooster
at a county fair.
He worrieth along from year
to year, gradually acquiring off
springs, until his house resem-
bles a Sunday school class just
before Christmas. He fretteth
through the day and lieth awake
nights trying to keep himself
and his dependent population
out of the poor house. Efforts
are rewarded by having his
daughters run away and get
married and bring him home a
nice son-in-law every few days
to feast at his board.
His sons grow up and call him

About the time he has ac-
quired enough lucre to make it
worth while for his heirs to
quarrel over, he contracts the
