Gus height and it's western slope was

which it swept along in its current
vigorously secured and deepened it's
bed. With each additional uplift it is
cut faster and deeper, until at length
it produced narrow, rugged canyon
more than 1000 feet deep.
Meanwhile those side streams of the
MERGED that run at right angles to
its course, and therefore at right an
giles to the slant of the Sierra block,
remained unsteepened and continued
to flow leisurely as before. They were
consequently unable to cut as rapidly
as the master stream, and so their

High Sierra, its jagged peaks culmi-
mating in ice-cloaked Mount Lyell, at
a height of 1900 feet.
Millions and millions of years ago
all of the country teaching from the
Pacific coast to the Rocky mountains
began to bulge up as a result of con-
vulsions in the interior of the earth.
In spite of the exceeding slowness of
the movement the earth's crust was
broken into huge blocks that crowded
and chafed one another. The western
most and largest block, 400 miles long
from north to south and 80 miles
broad, was pushed UP at its eastern
edge and bodily tilted westward.
With the first fitting, naturally, the
waters on the Sierra block were re-
arranged. They had been flowing in
various directions, but now they be-

LA TOILETTE DOES'T WANT
HIS WAR RECORD BURNED

MADISON Senator Henry Huber
received a letter from United States
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette asking
that he not push his resolution asking
for public bonfire to destroy the
round robin signed during the war by
$50 University Of Wisconsin faculty
members as an attack on the senior
Wisconsin senator, it was authorita-

Toilette suggests progressives might
well direct their energies toward at

Who Was The Loser!

A banker while going home to dim
ner saw q ten dollar bill on the curb
stone. He picked it up, noticed the
number and went home to dinner.
While home his wife remarked that
the butcher had sent bill amounting
to $40 The only money he had was
the bill he found, which he gave her
and she paid the butcher The butch
err paid it to farmer for calf and
the farmer paid it to a merchant who
paid it to a washer woman and she,
owing the bank a note for ten dollars
went to the bank and paid the note.
The banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found and which by that
time had paid fifty dollars worth Of
debts. On careful examination he
found it to be counterfeit. Now, what
was lost in the transactions, and by
whom?

series of parallel rivers came into eX-
istence, ali draining westward into the
Pacific ocean, which then still covered
the basin Of the Great valley of Cali
fornia. The MERGED was one Of these
new rivers.
In the long period of quiet that fol-
lowed the earlier uplifts of the MERGED
fashioned for itself broad, level val
ley, fianked by rolling hills. The en-
tire region still lay near the level of
the sea; it had a mild, humid climate
and was covered with dense, semi
tropical vegetation. But when the

You Can Collect Money for Anything.

A peculiar thing has just happened
in Kansas City, Mo-: Subscribers to
a fund have had their money returned
with the explanation that it was col
lected on a bet, as joke. A man bet
a thousand dollars he could collect a
large amount for the starving Chris
tians in Anatoo. There is no such
place as Anatoo, and consequently no
Christians; but he went among his ac-
quaintances, organized committees,
and the work proceeded on the usual
lines After the money was collected,
it was returned to the donors.

Be careful what you say to a news
paper reporter. An official who made
a definite statement to Herald re-
porter, this statement being used as
published fact chided the reporter
later for error in the figures. Re
minded that he was the source of the
information he remembered he was
but said he didn't mean to be taken
so literally. What a person tells re-
porter is accepted as correct unless
reason exists to believe otherwise.
Whatever one says to a reporter may
be instantly recorded on the mental
photograph which the reporter has
developed in his brain. All good re
porters have demon memories.

Is Bish kidding US to conceal his
chagrin, covering UP with a morse
laugh, rendered en- solo? Or did the
dizziness of our ironical thrust fall to
pierce his rhinocerous hide? One sus-
poets both, hearing falsetto laughter
floating gaily down Canal street like
Swiss yodlers singing from crag to
crag, and also noting with something
akin to admiration the grim determl-
nation with which friend Bish bears
the sings and arrows Of outrageous
fortune. Thick hide-you tell 'em!
The truth is, friend Bish, that while
we will gladly devote a column or
space, worth $4,000, to spike your
false ideas, one by one, to advertise
YOU PERSONAL---VERY. Bish, you haint
worth it.
On the other hand we reflect that
Bish has given us a lot of free adver-
Using in the past few years. This
was all good for the Herald and we
are not unmindful. Therefore, for
once, we submit the following, no
charge:

himself to get a republican political
