BIG GAVES IN LAVA BEDS
IXTERESTIXO DISCOVERIES IX
KLAMATH REGION.
Subterranean Passages of Vast
Areas Are Source of Won
der to Tourists.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., July S. The
Modoc lava beds In California, near the
Klamath County line, long a place of
historic as well as scenic interest, have
grown more prominent lately from reason
of new discoveries, especially aa to the
caves, of which there are a great many
in this region, all among lava beds of the
ruggedist description.
As one traverses Tulu Lake, the south
ern mat gin of which, reats on the lava
field, about 40 extinct volcanoes can be
counted in the region south of the lake.
Many of these are weathered and an
cient, .covered with shrubs and trees, and
others are absolutely bare and the red
dish lava about their craters has a mod
ern look.
Following the lava flows from these
cinder cones are vast crevices and crin
kled rklge.s of lava and caves of great
extent and of various forms. A man who
lives In this region, and who has spent
30 years as a cowboy, claims to have
discovered a cave many miles in extent,
which ho calls the Mammoth Cave of
California, and steps are being taken to
make a thorough exploration of its vast
subterranean recesses.
A party of 13 persons from Klamath
Falls has Just returned from a four days'
outing in the lava beds, and reports a
most Interesting outing in that land of
dead volcanoes.
This party made their camp at the
Bear's Paw Ice caves, 47 miles from Klam
ath, in the midst of the lava fields, and
from that point excursions were made
on horseback to various points of inter
est In the surrounding region.
Several new caven were discovered by
the party, one of which, some 200 feet
tn length. 50 in width and with a level
celling 40 feet above the floor. The most
Important discovery made by the party,
however, was of a two-story cave, which
is indeed one of the world's marvels. A
hole was found some 10 feet tn width In
the bottom of a large cave. A lantern
was lowered on a rope until it was evi
dent that there was another floor with
a surrounding cavity some 25 or 30 feot
below. A small pine tree wu cut. divest
ed of Its limbs and brought Into the cave.
This was lowered until it touched the
lower floor, and by it (he party descended
to a great corridor. 30 or 40 feet wide,
extending apparently parallel with the
corridor above In both directions from
the point of descent. The corridor is not
less than 600 feet in extent, and Is ob
structed af the ends by loose material
fallen from above. No thermometer was
at hand to determine the temperature,
but it i cool enough to contrast greatly
with the degree above ground, and
icicles five or six feet In length depend
from fhe ceiling in manv places.

HOT WINDS ONLY DREAD
New Harvesting Machines Will Re
duce Time and Ijahor Needed to
Care for Crop Help Ex
pected to Re Plentiful.
DAYTON. Wash., July 3. (Special.)
With harvest in the Inland Empire
only two weeks off. there is every in
dication that the estimate of the largest
grain crop in years, made by grain
dealers early In the season, is to be
realized. Grain offices throughout the !
grain producing portions of Washing- j
ton are exhibiting samples of barley
and wheat, both In the head and on the
stock, never before equalled In the his
tory of farming. The excellent qual
ity of the grain Is not confined to any
particular localities, but is general over
Eastern Washington and Oregon.
Four conditions are combined to Dro-
duce this predicted enormous grain
crop: usually large acreage. heavy
stand due to cool weather this Spring,
large acreage of Fall-sown grain pro
ducing heavier and seasonable moisture
with other climatic accessories.
Barring hot winds the dread of the
Eastern Washington and Oregon farmer
the crop Is now assured. In some
places grain on the hill tops has been
slightly burned by north and east
winds during the last ten days, but the
damage Is not large, and Is inconsider
ate when the general crop conditions
are considered.
Two weeks from Monday harvest will
commence south of the Snake River.
Thirty days will see the great crop in
the warehouses. Harvest will be shorter
man ever before this year, despite the
Increased acreage and predicted heavy
yield, owing to the large number of
new harvesting machines that will be
operated. The old method of harvesting
wiin steam and horse power outfits"
will be practically discarded this sea
son and the new and Improved combine
narvester, saving expense, labor and
time, the three essentials to successful
farming, will supplant them in the
grain . fields.
It is believed the supply of harvest
hands will exceed the demand when
harvest begins. Wages accordingly are
expected to be comparatively low, rang
ing from $2 to $2.50 a day. Combine
harvest men are said to be in good de
mand, and tenders of these machines
will receive from $4 to $6 a day in the
Inland Empire.
Laborers are already be&rinninir tr
quit the logging and railroad camps
and are coming- Into the grain country.
Although hay harvest is now in full
swing in the Touchet and Walla Walla
values, few men are required because
a comparatively small acreage is being
cuv ior nay. i ne prevailing high prices
for grain will cut the hay crop of this
eiaie snort.
MOSCOW EXPECTS BIG YIELD
Estimate Puts Average for Wheat
at 3 5 Bushels an Acre.
MOSCOW. Idaho. July 3. (Sr.er.lal
While Latah County. Idaho, has never
iaiied to produce a fair yield of -rain
and fruit, there probably never was a
year when the outlook was as bright.
Especially does this apply to Fall
wheat. Although it is not entirely out
of danger of possible damage by hot
winds. Indications are that thj vlelrt
will average over the entire county
about 35 bushels an acre. Some will go
much more, but old farmers make a
conservative estimate of 35 bushels-
There is estimated to be 100.000 acres
in cultivation in this county, devoted to
raising grain, wheat, oats and barley.
It is estimated that 50.000 1 In whe.-it
30,000 in oats and 20.000 in barlev. and
that the wheat yield will be around

grain produced in this county is de

Washington, being Uniontown. Fallens.

there are Kendrick, Troy, Juliaetta and
Moscow and other sidings where much

tinued Its use and very soon Its bene

nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to
shift to Postum. It was easy to get

with satisfying results as shown in our
fine condition of health and we have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power."

of coffee; sometimes in a very marked
manner. "There's a Reason."
