CALDRON LINN, Twin Falls County.—This is the point on Snake River that was reached on October 28, 1811, by the Hunt-Astoria party (q.v.), and is now known as Milner. The name was given by some Scotchman, probably Ramsey Crooks or Donald Mackenzie, as the word is from the Scotch, lyn, meaning a pool of water in a perturbed state, as at the foot of a waterfall.—IRVING, Astoria.
