Grain & alfalfa are good out in the valley, the soil is very fine and white & makes bad dust. Broad leaved cottonwoods do well in town, A few pear trees and blue plums were seen with good looking fruit. Peach trees are common in yards, but no fruit on them at this season. Took 4:25 train to McCammon and stopped off for over night. Followed up Marsh Creek valley, a narrow gulch between mountains and a stream of recent, black lava runs the whole length down the gulch from beyond McCammon to Pocatello. The creek cuts a shallow canyon in it in places, but the lava flow followed the gulch bottom. & is not very wide or deep. Upper Sonoran zone does not run far up the canyon, not being much in evidence at Inkom. Only a trace reaches McCammon, where the valley is almost pure transition.
