ERRATICS—NOT PEOPLE,
BUT BOULDERS
We have received a copy of a
brand new book published by
Binfords and Mort in Portland and
entitled “Scenic Geology of the
Pacific Northwest," written by
Leonard C. Eckman, Professor of
Geology at Wenatchee Valley Col
lege in Washington. Although one
might aim criticism at the book,
mainly that some of the prose is
purplish and some adjectives tend
to be overworked, Ekman’s book
is sure to be of interest and value
especially for the general public
of our area.
A section of “Scenic Geology of
the Pacific Northwest” with the
engagingly simple title, “Erratics,”
caught my eye, and that is what
I would like to write about today.
The erratics referred to are not
people, but boulders. Professor
Ekman tells us that they are to be
found in many places in the
Northwest. They are boulders,
large and small, that seem com
pletely out of place in the location
where they lie. He tells of one
made of granite just off U.S. High
way 97 in the Okanogan valley in
Washington. It was delivered to
that location by an ancient glacier
thousands of years ago.
“Suppose,” he writes, “that this
large rock was once a part of a
cliff overlooking a broad expanse
of ice creeping slowly down the
valley below. Then, when cold
weather came, the water would
have turned to ice. Frozen water
expands, and, though it may not
seem possible, large rocks are ac
tually moved when a considerable
amount of water in the crevises
around them freezes. This boulder
was no doubt freed in such a man
ner. Suddenly it rumbled down
the valley slope, the roar echoing
in the icy air. Down the hill it
sped to meet the ice lying in wait
to receive it. Its final resting place
was now to be decided by the
power of the moving ice. How long
the ice carried its burden it is
hard to say. When the ice melted
would have been the time the
boulder settled into the soft earth
to become a lonely landmark for
the cattlemen of today.”
Other glacial erratics are found
across northern Washington wher
ever ice sheets probed south out
of Canada long ago. In the Puget
sound trough erratics are com
mon. There are some at Tenino
650 feet above sea level.
A special problem is posed by
the thousands of erratics in the
Willamette valley. I have a farm
er friend near McMinnville who
has a pile to which he adds when
he plows each year. I have heard
that in the early days the farmers
built fires near the granite boul
ders so that they would fragment
into grit for their chickens. We
have one fine large granite boul
der right on the Linfield campus.
The giant of all erratics in the
Willamette valley is just off High
way 18 between McMinnville and
Sheridan at Erratic Rock State
park. It is a great slab of slate
lying on its side high above the
valley floor and giving a magnifi
can view of the Willamette val
ley.
How did these great rocks get
to the Willamette valley? It is a
different story than for their fel
low-travelers farther north in
Washington. It is thought that
when the ice sheet melted, great
icebergs broke away and floated
down the Columbia in what has
been called the Spokane flood. In
winter the river froze over at sev
eral places with ice dams block
ing its flow. This caused water to
back up into the adjacent val
leys, even the valley of the Wil
lamette. The icebergs carried boul
ders of rock from northern Wash
ington and southern Canada em
bedded in them. They rafted these
boulders into the temporary inland
seas caused by the ice dams across
the Columbia. The icebergs with
their cargo of boulders drifted to
the shores, and there the ice melt
ed dropping its load. The follow
ing spring the water receded and
the erratic travelers from the
land to the north have stayed as
permanent settlers.
