A number of Williams folk motored
out Sunday to help dedicate the ma
tural cave north of Bellemont. The

nally christened River of Lava" was

service office, being located in the

cave nearly mile in length, and from
SO to 100 feet wide, the height from
five to 80 feet In some parts OF
the cave ice was found. Mr.. Thomp-
son Of Ballemont had generously pro-
vided hot dogs, buns and coffee to
those attending; also lanterns and
candles were on the ground.
