Although tho relatively ncld nnd
sluggish lavas ot this period did
not spread far from the vents, nnd
contributed but little, and that little
very locally nnd irregularly, to tho
upbuilding ot tho general surfucc ot
tho plateau, they have, neverthe
less, by virtue of tholr hardness nnd
durability, played an Important role
as dralnago controls, or natural
dams retarding and regulating tho
discharge ot rivers. In tact, It

The scdlmonts of tnis period, con
sisting of alternate beds of ash, lapll
11 and lava, aro known to geologists
ns tho Clarno formation of tho John
Day valley and attain here a thick
ness of about 400 feet.
Following tho Clarno formation,
in Mloceuo or mid-Tertiary time, vol
canism still prevailed, but tho lavas
were, predominantly, of moro basic
type basaltic rather than andlsltlc
or rhyolltlc. Tho eruptions wcro,
for a long tlmo of a highly exploslvo
character, yielding In what Is now
tho John Day valley and, presumably
also, in tho region traversed by the
Deschutes river, a vast thickness,
possibly soverat thousand feet, ot
stratified anh or tuff, constituting tho
John Day scries. This was followed,
still in tho Miocene poriod, by gi
gantic flssuro eruptions of basalt
tho many successive thick flows ag
gregating 2000 to. possibly, 4000
feet in thickness. This Is the great
Columbia lava formation, which, nat
urally, attains Its maximum develop

Tho principal eplsodo ot tho earlier
Quaternary or Plolstocono tlmo was
tor this region, ns tor tho greater
part of tho continent, tho culmination
ot glnclatlon. Thoro is llttlo or no
evidence of general, glnclatlon or of
nn Ico sheet covering tho uppor part
even of tho Deschutes valley. The
valley glaciers, remnants of which
now linger on tho slopes and In tho
craters of tho higher Cascado volcan

range. It Is truo that a largo pro
portion ot tho lakes and lakelets dot

ran go down to about nn elevation ot
4400, nnd to still lowor levels farth
er north, nro duo to mornlnnt dams.
To this class belong Odell nnd Cres

basins directly duo to tho eroslvo ac
tion of tho valley glaclors. Equally
conclusive evidence of former glac
lal extension is afforded by the dls
trlbution or tho bowlder clay or
ground moraine. As this would bo
tho case but for tho heavy mantle of
post-glacial pumico dust and lapllll
covering tho ontlro region and ob
scuring tho drift and other surface
formations. Moro convincing, under
tho circumstances, Is tho testimony
of tho washed or modified drift, sand
nnd gravel, especially ns regards Its
topographic liifluonco. A particular
ly clear examplo is afforded by tho
Twin lakes, southeast of Crane prair
ie, and 10 miles cast of tho Cascado
crest. Tho only satisfactory expla
nation of tho deep depressions occu
pied by theso lakelets Is the subse
quent melting of masses of ico bur
icdln modified drift. From these
witnesses wo learn that tho Cascado
glacier or Ico cap extended at least
this far to tho eastward.
On tho cast sldo of the Deschutes
valley wo find evldenco that New

that from it a glacier ndvanced sev

ley, a great natural dam, extending
from a point on tho wostern slopo
well nbovo any contemplated How
lino across moro than half tho prob
able breadth ot tho valtoy below
that line.
Tho river first encounters Iho
rhyollto near tho westorn end of
tho rldgo; nud, promptly turning to
tho eastward, closoly follows Its
southern or upstream border to tho
margin of tho now lava. I lore,
tho abandoned bridge,

Its crest descends to tho river lovol
nnd tho river escapes ncross tho
rldgo, which Is bouudod on tho
north by n tone ot basalt tuff rep
resenting, no doubt, tho old Colum
bia basalt. ,
Tho rhyollto Is throughout a mas-
slvo and wonderfully homogeneous,
hard, compact and resistant Igneous
formation, which may, probably,
best bo regarded as tho plug or
neck ot nn anclotit volcano which
has long since been removed by
erosion. Plnlnly enough, tho rhyo
llto is older than both tho nower
and tho older basalt flows by which
it Is environed nnd nbovo which It
rises as a genuine stoptoo. Con
cerning tho courso and extent ot
tho rhyollto beyond tho cast end ot
tho rldgo, or tho lino whoro It dis
appears beneath tho Lava Butto flow
ot basalt wo can only conjecture;
but tho probabilities will bo dls
cussd in a later section.
The Columbia basalt Is tho great
lava formation of tho Columbia
plateau, covering continuously and
to n vast thickness many thousands
and scores of thousands ot square
miles. From tho open fissures and
craters ot tho Cascades tho highly
fluid molten rock was poured out
flow after flow, filling tho broad
valley ot tho Columbia and cover
ing to lessor depths all but tho
higher parts ot tho broad summit
ot tho Bluo Mountains, layers of
volcanic dust and lapllll alternat
ing to somo oxtent with tho mas
slvo shcots ot columnar basalt.
Although formed back In Mlocono
time, tho Columbia basalt . shown,
outsldo of tho canyons, whore it has
felt tho powerful eroslvo action of
tho rapid streams, but llttlo evl
denco of erosion. Whero not cover
ed by soil it Is still hard and black
and exhibits tho gently undulating
or wavy nurfaco of tho original flow,
as woll as tho prismatic Jointing
and prcssuro ridges. In fact, It ap
pears prohablo that whoro soli Is
present It has boon derived chlofly
from volcanic dust and lapllll, and
not from tho solid lava.
Vt'vnt Hide IhiNiilt Newer
In tho Benham Falls district, or,
moro gonornlly, south of Bond,
abovo which tho rlvor and tho Cas
cado rango aro slightly dlvorgont
northward, tho basalt of tho op
posite slopes ot tho valley, tho east
slopo and tho wost slopo, is moro or
loss distinctly contrasted, especially
as regards indications of ago. Tho
basalt of tho west slopo has, of
courso, boon derived from tho Cas
cado rango; whilo that of tho east
slopo may most reasonably bo ro
ferred to the gigantic Newberry
Crater and Its subsidiary vonts with
in a radius of ton to fifteen miles,
which havo, no doubt, boon moro
roccntly actlvo than tho neighbor
ing soctlon of tho Cascado, rungo.
At nny rate, tho west slopo basalt
Is, at all points south of Jlond, do
cldedly moro weathored and older-
looking than that ot tho cast slopo.
Owing to tho moro weathored
and decomposed aspect ot tho west
sldo basalt, its outcrops aro fowor
and loss bold. And slnco it In tho
older flow wo may assumo that it
oxtendH eastward somewhat in
definitely, or without regard to tho
wostern limits ot tho newer oast
sldo flow. In other words, It ap
pears probable thut tho eastern
overlaps tho western flow to somo
oxtent. And It lu a natural .sug
gestion that ovidonco of such over
lap may bo affordod by Homo of tho
boring pt tho Ilonham Falls area.
Tho now boring (1) ut Minor's
Cabin or Damslto "A" Is ot special
interest lu this connection, slnco it
shows, from tho surface down, hard,
sound basalt for tho first 05 foot
(eastern and newer flow) followed
by brown to red, oxldltod nud
wonthorod hnsoU (wostern nnd older
flow), A similar, lu fact nu almost
Identical, record In afforded by Bor
ing No, 5 ot tho original Minor's
Cabin Horlos, nud, again, by tho
boring of tho BronkH-Scnulun Lum
ber Company (8), on tho east hIiIu
road, u llttlo moro than two miles
south-HOUthcaHt ot Minor's Cabin,
Here, also, tho drill, after passing
through ovor 00 toot of tho hard
and comparatively fresh hatialt ot
tho eastern flow pouotratod the oxi
dized and rotten basalt of tho wost
ern flow, and eudod lu It ut a depth
ot 100 fot.
llhyollto Itlilgo Volcnnlu Node
Wo nro, thus, Justinod lu conclud
ing that the old, decayed western
flow of basalt probably extends nt
lonst this tar to tho eastward; nnd
this Is far enough to Insure Its un
derlying practically tho ontlro area
ot tho proposed reservoir, save
whero It may hnvo boon removed
by tho rlvor In tho development of
Its channel. But for this possible
exception, wo might, then, nssumo
for tho reservoir n continuous sub
floor of tho older and, probably,
moro Impervious basalt.
Whether tho flood ot basalt from
olthor sldo over submerged tho
transverse rhyollto rldgo, Is vory
doubtful. On tho west side ot tho
rlvor, north ot Benham Falls rhyo
llto tuff Is seen to ho capped with
basalt. But tho rhyollto ot tho Ben
ham Falls rldgo, with Its vortical
flow structure, must bo rognrdod ns
a truo volcanic neck. Tho basalt
falls fur short ot covering It now;
nnd slnco the sharp rldgo of rhyo
llto must havo lost elevation by
erosion much moro rapidly than
tho broad plain of basalt, wo can
only coucludo that tho floods ot
basalt surged nround tho rhyollto
relief but did not ovortop It.
Iiivn Tunnel
No feature ot tho basalt Is ot
greater scientific Interest or prac
tical liuportnnco than tho lava tun
nel. This exists where after tho
main part ot a flow has cooled and
solidified, cracking of tho crust al
lows tho still molten residuum to
cscnpo, and tho tunnel, or a vacant
spaco of somo form, naturally ro
suits. Whethor or not water or
soma other constituent ot tho basalt
tending to promote Its liquidity,
determines tho location or forma
tion ot a tunnel Is nn unsolved
problem; but to tho writer It ap
pears moro prohablo that tho princi
pal factors aro differential cooling,
gradient and velocity.
Tho Incandescent lava Is cooled
and stiffened by contact with tho
cool earth below and tho cool air
abovo. Botwcon tho two crusts
thus determined It flown most rapid
ly In tho lines ot highest gradient
(most rapid descent). Whom tho
gradiont Is low and tho movoment
sluggish, as on upland areas, tho
lava first solidifies through tho on
tlro thickness of tho flow; nud tho
moro fluid, rapidly moving portions
aro confined moro nnd moro to the
vnlloyn or topographic lines of
steepest descent. Tho hottest, most
fluid and most rapidly flowing lava
will bo that freshest from tho crntor
or flssuro nnd tho subterranean
sources, and when tho Intter finally
tall, tho lava within tho tunnol
drains away and leaven tho tunnol
ompty.

That tho statin pressure nud tho
