"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. .

OUR CAR IS; HEADED
FOR EARLY DESTRUCTION
IF SCIENTIFIC LUBRICATION
IS NEGLECTED
When your car is driven without proper lubrication at every friction
point serious damage is certain to result. Denied the protection so vital to
efficient operation, the moving parts soon give way, and your car reaches
the end of its usefulness long before its inbuilt service has been delivered.
THE MOST SCIENTIFIC
LUBRICATION SERVICE EVER KNOWN
Here you receive guaranteed lubrication, with the
proper grade of lubricant recommended by the car
manufacturers for each point, applied with the
very latest equipment. Double inspection insures a
thorough job. Drive in today and let us show you
this new standard of lubricating efficiency.
