DU SMITH COLLECTS CUBE SPECIMENS Fossils, Coal, Mineral Water and Building Stones Part of Collection. Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of ttie Department of Geology ana a]so al lied with the Bureau of Mining and Geology at Corvallis, investigated this semester the stratigraphy of the Cascade Mountains, working from south of Douglas County to the Columbia River, and traveling by train, auto, horseback and foot. “The specimens which I collected on this trip are of general interest,” said Dr. Smith. “They include fos sils, specimens of coal, samples of mineral water, and building stones. Among the fossils probab]y the most interesting are the fossil plants found in considerable numbers at Jasper, Oregon.” One of the fossils gathered on this trip is a piece of volcanic rock, so hard in composition that a nail can be driven in without the structure breaking. Using this summer’s research work as a basis, Dr. Smith will write a chapter to be printed in a bulletin on the “Geology of the Cascade Mountains,” to :be issued by the Bureau of Mines and Geology, locat ed at Corvallis. This Bureau is in dependent of both institutions, but employs geologists from both. “I also took a trip over the Co lumbia Highway from Portland' to The Dalles,” said Dr. Smith. “One thing of interest that I saw was a fir tree trunk standing upright—just the way it grew—in the midst of consolidated volcanic ash. This tree, though partially petrified, showed distinct annual rings of growth.” IDr. Smith read a paper on “Ge ologic and Physiographic Control in the Philippines” before the Geo logical Society of America in San Francisco and assisted for a short time at the Oregon Mine exhibit iii the Palace of Mines at the Exposi tion.
