ENGINEER STANT0NS TRIP
Graphic Account OF the Danger
Gus Rapids Passed-A Feast.
bio Railway Route.

DrSyER, March 27.--Engineor Robcr,
u Stanton, who left here with n corps
last November to make preliminary
survey Of tho Denver, Colorado Canyon
& Pacific railway, from Grand Junction
to the Gulf of California, through the
Grand canyon oftho Colorado river. re-
turned home to-day from The Needles,
Cal, for couple ot weeks rest.
Mr.. stanton and his party are tho first
men who have passed through this dan
gcrous canyon since Major Powell made
the trip In 1863. In a conversation to-
night he said that the construction OF
the railway through tho canyon was
perfectly feasible and that from Grand
Junction, Colo, TO Tho Needles, a dis
distance at 900 miles. tho grade
need not in any place exceed
twenty feet per mile, and for the greater
part ot the distance would not be more
than from five to ten feet per mile, while
the curvature, contrary TO the general
belief would be- very light. The results
were much better than he anticipated.
Mr.. stanton has gathered considerable
data uron the resources OF tho county
adjacent to the canyon, but as yet the
greater part is undovelopod.
Between the head OF the Colorado
river and the end oi the Grand canyon
he passed over go rapids, lie graph.
icnlly describes his passsgs
over rapid No. iG5, below Peach
springs, during which ono Of his boats
was damaged by u collision with the
rocks an,l he was washed overheard by q
wave, thrown into q whirlpool ana
drawn down into whnt seemed tho bot
tomlcss river. lie finally came to the
surface my feet from where he went
down and wns rescued by his men.
THESE rapids are many times more dan.
gerous than tho one where President

ers, no man during thu whole trip has
been in danger OF drowning. lie con.

naford, general Traffic manager of the

route homo from San Diego. CAL, where
he has been attending special meeting
of the Transcontinental Railway Asso-
citation.
MIR. lIannaford said that the meeting
had been called to consider the Canadian
Pacific diiIerentlas which for the past
three months had been lower than usual.
under temporary agreement with that
line pending the meeting. lilo reports
this as one OF thc most harmonious
meetings ever held by the asso-
citation, and that Il was decided
that the diiicrentinls allowed the Cana
dian Pacific at the present time should
be continued until October OF this year,
and until u special meeting is called
therefor.
Mr.. Hannaford thought the trans
continental lines were in good condi-
ton to do business, as there would be no
changes in the rates unless the lines be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
cut rates to such ail extent As 10 conpli.
cate the transcontiucntal business. The
rates are badly demOHilized In that Sec

against us has been discovered by us re-.
Gently to be unconstitutional. and
ii is our sincere belief also that
such unjust dealings with the Chi nese
do not represent the true sentiments
of the blue blooded Americans. We now
desire our follow countrymcn to unite
with us in presenting our many gricY-

control of all the election machinery,
having appointed women judges and
clerks OF elections at all the precincts,

women were registered, although but
hall of them went to the polls. The
democrats ran straight male ticket.

one councilman. All the women were de-
icated.

up TO the highest pitch OF political ex-
citemeut over the candidacy OF Mrs
