HOW THE WASATCH
MOUNTAIN’S WERE MADE
In the Overland Route Guidebook
recently published by the United
States Geological Survey the his
tory of tho formation of the Was
atch Mountain Range, which over
looks Salt Lake City, is graphically
told. Long before there were any
mountains in this region most of the
rocks of the Wasatch Range were
laid down as sand and mud on the
bottom of the ancient sea, where
they become compacted and harden
ed into sandstone, shale, and lime
stone. The sea bottom eventually
became land. As mother earth
has aged her skin has cracked and
whinkled. In the Utah-Nevada re
gion many long cracks were formed
and the rocks on one side or the
other were moved slowly upward or
downward, forming long ridges along
the cracks, steep on one side and
gently sloping on the other. Such
breaks in the earth’s crust are call
ed faults. A fault may be a few
feet or hundreds of miles long,, and
the distance which the rock beds
on one side slip past those on the
other may range from a fraction of
an inch to thousands of feet. When
the rocks on one side are shoved
up over those on the other side,
the break is called a reverse or
overthrust fault.—(Overland Guide
book, Bulletin 612, U. S. G. S.)

SCHOOL NOTES
Tuesday the pupils of the High
School and the Oth, 7th, and Sth
grades enjoyed a day’s skating at
the Big Lake. The ice at the upper
end was just right and everybody
reported a fine time, although many
of the pupils have been feeling
rather stiff as a result.
Two new pupils entered school
this week. Ernest Keener in Miss
Hall’s room and Alfred Wick in
Mrs. Engstrom’s room.
Erma Pritchard, a pupil in Miss
Buor’s room, left for Seattle this
week, and Florence Mercer, first
year High School student left for
Juneau.
As this week ends the first sem
ester of school the pupils have been
busy taking final examinations. In
the Physical Geography class in the
High School, five pupils, Edith
Swansen, Alice Kincaid, Dorothy
Michener, Mitchell Spaeth, and
Everett Paup who had an average
of 90% were exempt from the test,
and two pupils, Corinne King and
Dorothy Michener, from Ancient
History. As the Botany books have
come, a class in that study will be
gin next Wednesday.

Thursday evening Red Men’s Hall
was the scene of a merry gathering', |
when the Daughters of Pocahontas
of Council No. 1, held their an-1
nual Potlatch. Many of the mem- j
bers who have been meeting and de
voting one afternoon a week to
sewing during the past year, had
much to show for the time thus
employed. Twenty-two quilts, pil
lows and many other articles were
presented. Each member being re
membered in a special way. Fol
lowing the distribution of gifts,
cards, dancing singing and a very
abundant and tempting luncheon was
in order. Needless to say that the
big Pocahontas family had a joy
ous and happy evening.

STUCCO BLOCKS
CONTAIN ARMS
LAYED SIX WEEKS ON WHARF
BEFORE DISCOVERY
WAS MADE
MADRID, Jan. 22—A report has
just been made that 4,000 rifles and
40,000 cartridges have been found
in stucco blocks that had been ly
ing on the wharf for the last six
weeks. It appears t’ 'it the blocks
of stucco had been shipped from
Zurich to a merchant at Malaga,
Spain, by way of Genoa. After hav
ing layed on the wharf for six
weeks, the authorities decided to in
vestigate and opened one of the
blocks which was found to contain
rifles. An order was issued to open
them all with the result that 4,000
rifles and nearly 400,000 cartridges
were found.
The theory is advanced that the
rifles and cartridges were for Moor
ish tribesmen to be used in an up
rising.

AN IMMENSE IMPROVEMENT
IS CONTEMPLATED
Improvement^ in business condi
tions during the present year will
probably lead to the electrification
of the Great Northern Railway
between Spokane and the Sound
cities, according to a current re
port in railroad circles.
It was learned that the engineers
of the General Electric Company,
were requested to investigate the
cost of the improvement of the
Chelan Falls power site, owned by
the Great Northern, and reported
that the cost would be approximat
ely $4,000,000 and this power, to
gether with further development of
the plant west of Leavenworth,
which is now used to haul trains
through the Cascade tunnel, would
furnish enough power to electrify
the lines between Spokane and
the coast.

NO BANANA BELT HERE
Speaking of the “Banana Belt”
of which the worthy editor has
been commenting upon as existing
in this part of the world in con
nection with the extreme cold weath
er that is making the folks north
and south of us feel anything but
comfortable, I wonder what he
thinks of our Iceland today. If he
had in mind icicles instead of
bananas, then in that event the
honor belongs to us for there are
icicles varying in sizes all the way
from the size of needles to those
weighing tons, the best evidence of
which can be seen along the flume.
And it is cold enough to freeze a
brass monkey.

NOT MUCH CEREMONY IN THE
EXECUTION OF GENERAL
BACA VALLES
EL PASO, Jan. 21—The execution
Col. Miguel Baca Valles, bandit
chief, who was captured and brought
o Juarez where he was executed,
.■as told today by an eye witness.
The man says that after Valles was
captured he was brought in a box
car to Juarez and on his arrival he
was marched through the dimly
lighted platform 0f the railway sta
tion where many families spent their
nights. The body of General' Rod
iguez, who had been executed be
fore, was also brought to Juarez
at the same time.
Baca Valles, who was known as
Villa’s most callous executioner at
Juarez, was taken from the box car
in which he arrived a few minutes
before 5 o’clock.
Executions had been so frequent
at. Juarez in the final days of the
Villa regime, however, that not a
ripple of interest was shown.
The proceedings were brief. The
prisoner said:
“I am not responsible for the
acts and robberies of Villa. I beg
to see your general.”
Th0 officer commanding the fir
ing squad said he had orders to kill
and he and a soldier stepped up
close to Baca Valles and fired point
blank into the prisoner’s heart. The
body was then taken back to the
railroad station, where it lay uncov
ered until after dawn on the plat
fonq among the men, women and
children lying about wrapped in
blankets.
The bodies of Rodriguez and Baca
Valles were laid side by side on the
station platform in Juarez and dur
ing the forenoon were viewed by
throngs of Mexicans,
ed Fnv'oue lon-jales, a Carranza
government official. “Baca Valles
was a butcher by trade before the
revolution began, and the death he
met was merciful compared to those
he inflicted on other human beings,
while he was Villa.’s chief execution
er.”
