When the tide passed It left a high wall of ice blocks mortised together with wet, dirty snow, according to an Item from Promise. Ore,, published in the Ore gon Journal. There had been a break ing loose up river and as the liber ated Ice rushed down It tore every-: thing loose from bank to bank, and gathered newly released material as It went. It reminded one of a line of battleshlpB, in Its Irresistibility, j As the tide arose It pushed the ice and snow out on the bank, a sloping bar, or against a cliff. When it re ceded it left a wall on each bank varying from a few to a dozen feet' high. A strip of gravel was left be tween the wall and the river. This newly washed riverbed furnlBhed an interesting place for exploration. A few fish were left stranded and hun dreds probably were caught lh tha wall. Hundreds of crawfish, some minus a pincer but nearly all abH to travel toward the water, were left along -the banks. All up and down the canyon the Ice barked trees high on their trunks.
