AUTOMOTIVE SECTION OUTDOOR NEWS The OREGON STATES3IAN, Salem. Oregon, Sonday Morning, April 19, 1931 PAGE NINE ilLROI ILL TRIBE LAVA Extension Through Rugged "No-Man's Land" Will Cost Over Million v BEND. Oreu (A) On of the most recently formed laya fields of Oregon will be crossed when the- Great Northern railroad bulldi Its 2 4 -mile extension from Bend to Benfcam falls at a cost of more than one million dollars. The proposed route of the ex tension from Bend will pass to the west of Lara butte, about IS miles from the city. The road will bare to be built across ' three miles' of lara. Ac cording to geologists, Lara butte was slowly bnilt up to a cone by the gradual streams of lava .ex uding from the top of the cone. A huge eruption of steam, gas and Igneous rock: proved to be too much for the outlet and burst through the side of the volcano, flowing like a thick syrup to the south, of the butte where it en countered a slight rise in the land and veered to the north and west, damming the Deschutes river and forcing it to find a new channel. - A small lake was formed by the river at this point and then a new channel was cut - through the lava field. This channel is about a half mile long and ia not completed at the present time. The waters of the river form a series ot rapids at this point, called Ben ham falls. - About two and ' a half -miles south of Lava butte are the lava caves. They consist of a two-mile tunnel through the lava, which is about SO feet wide and about 40 feet high. Caves ot this type are common. They originated as tun nels through which . the liquid lava flowed from tlx e butte. . The surface congealed, forming per fect tunnels through which the liquid drained In much the same manner as an underground stream. At a number of places along the border of the lava field the waters ot the Deschutes river enter crev lses formed in the lava. . It has been estimated by some authorities that the lava field sur rounding the butte was formed at a' period only slightly more than' ISO years ago. It is known the field Is more recent than that of Newberry crater. From the sum mit of the butte 42 similar cones can be seen. The cone In the butte is about 160 feet deep; The forest service has a lookout stationed at the top. affording an excellent "view of the surrounding country. . in CUB OUTPUT HIGHEST IN IMS " r . i .
