Editor Visits
RockWalFs
Ice Caves
IS you want to visit something of
unusual interest in the lower alti
tudes of Eastern Oregon, and within
easy driving distance of Waiiowa, take
a trip to the ice caves near EJgln. The
editorial family says the W&llowa
Sun, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs, W.
Pooie and Kathryn Gregory had
this Interesting experience Sunday.
They have visited many unusual and
interesting places before, but never
any Uke this.
Driving out Just a few miles from
Elgin along tho tollgata road oe sesa
a rocky eiiff. Leaving the highway
the road travels a short distance
through ranch Jand and then for a
little longer through tho woods where
wild flowers and bushes are In bloom.
The day was quite warm and uncom
fortably hot in the direct rays of the
sun, yet the instant we wore near the
rocks we could feel the cold draught
from the caves. Peering atound and
climbing over the rocks we soon found
whence came the "frigid air." There
in one cave was a pond of water prob
ably two feet deep and atf one side
at It was a big cake of ice, Many of
the smaller crevices bcirf long cakes
of ice or frozen snow. The sun shines
in these crevices for only a few miti
.utes during the noon hour and we
were fortunate enough to be there at
jthat time and see to the bottom of
j the crystal clear water,
j Lovely moss and ferns grow on the
I shady side of the canyon and opposite
j on the rock waii estimated to be at
S icast 200 feet high, small bunches of
j grass and a few bushes had found
enaugn aau to grow in anu wiere xney
are thriving away in their precarious
jocatlcn. v
,Tbis rock wa31 Is certainly a thing
of beautyv Towering up to the heav
ens , in a perpendicular line, the
: mending greens, tans, browns and
grays form a picture to piease she
soul of an artist, 3u some instances
the strata of rocks are horizontal,
in others they are curved, whife yet
farther along the waii the rocks arc
packed ifijin perpendicular pieces. In
siMjie cases the green is shaling off
from the gray and tan rocks iifee a
veneer wouid do.
The top of the rocky wail seems
fairly level and bounds a mesa which
stretches away into the distance.
Huge boulders have fallen from this
formation and tnmbicd down into
the little canyon where they lie In
strange position. One huge triangu
lar boulder lies on one paint wedged
in between Bmaiicr rocks and back of
it iies one of the smaller caves. Ot3i-
er huge boulders lie as they have
fallen but are breaking into pieces
where they have been expanded by
; freezing.
It is said that even on the hottest
: day in the year ice may always be
; found in these caves, Som young
people, who arrived at the caves after
wo did, had brought an ax and there
on the spot chopped out the ice and
froxe some ice cream.
The woods near there are of pine
and tangled undergrowth and rare
wild fiowers were found there. One
piant of idys siippcr wss found, the
first we had ever viewed and we had
to refer to our flower book guide to
iismo it. it is suggested that if one

to mother's bed.
Increasingly Ifr was evident that
while the actual fear was diminish
ing, the crying wbb being used as
means of getting mother's atten
tion and the privilege of sleeping
with her.
There ensued ft Jong trlsi of pa
tience. Sight after night the. child
would wake up, partly genuinely
fearfui and partiy wanting simply
to feel that her mother was near.
fffght after night her mother
wouid come to sit at fter hetfsfde,
talk to her reassuringly and sing to
her until finally she went to sleep.
&ch night the episode feecame
shorter.
At last it needed only the momen
tary entrance of her mother into the
room with a soothing word to cause
her Immediately to go bark to sleep.
After several weeks she slept soundly
through until morning.
This sort of problem often de
velops as the result of illness or of
jmc other shocking and frighten
ing experience.
It is important on the one hand
adequately to meet the child's need
for security and on the other in
creasingly to demand that it he

cutting other parts of the fields for
r. In a, few of the eatiy parts of
the community a sniall amount of
wheat has already been honnd to
thresh. Among some of those In. tho
Whis&cy crcefe district who & been
binding wheat the Cast ot fciie weeSc
are; Keek, hrothere and , Ed Bell
Others report that their' wheat has
ripened very fast during the- past
three days and that he will he ready
to start cutting the first of the com
ing weefe.
But few of the farosere have had
time to do much toward getting their
grain bay put up before they sauat
start cutting wheat, Jfe is JiSseiy that
much of the hay will remain in tho
shocfe for another week or ten days
until binding is out of tbc way.
A good many of tba larger farmers
expect to combine their wheat and
this wiii not be ready for cutting for
sometime yefc, because of t&e ujjeyen
way irt which the grain is ripening,.
Reporls from a large numher of the
farms Ja this end of fcbe valiey give
rather discouraging reporta of pros
pects for yields of grain. In many
parts of the. bgis where fail sown
wheat is usually extremely heavy tlie
stand is thin and together with heavy
damage from frosts and squirrels.
farmers are not JooKiJig for much of
a yield. En many Instances the erapa
are Jess than half that of s, normal
The past two weeks have been vary
severe on spring grain in the dry
farming districts. Up to right after
the 4th. the grain appeared to bi do
ing quite well. Howaver, with con
tinued dry weather and not winds
much of thG tlme most of the fields
have hurned hadiy. Tito shortage sf
moisture has resulted lu a very light
traw growth and mucb of tbe siiorfc
grain wilt he cut for hay.
At a few places in the hiiis where
farmers bad a small amount of alf
alfa of the dry land type some ex
tremely heavy cuttings of hay have
been secured, A considerable number
of tho dry farmers here state that
they are going to seed a part of their
ranches to alfalfa as soon as they
have the money with which to pur
chase seed. Sxtremely heavy crops
were secured at the Oienn Thiiey farm
