QUEBEC, Sept. 1.-Messrs. Low and
Eaton of the Geological Survey and
four Indians reached here yesterday
on their way home to Ottawa on
journey Of fifteen months through the
interior of Labrador peninsular. a
brief outline of their trip from Lake
ST. John to Ugava Bay in the extreme
north, which connects with Hudson
strait, has already appeared, based
upon personal letters from the eXplor-
ers. They filled IN this story with the
record of their discoveries.
Early in the year the expedition left
Eskimo bay, or Hamilton Inlet, 10
recross the interior of Labrador. Low
travelled 500 miles in dog sleighs, max
ing explorations. About March lst
the whole party began the ascent of
Hamilton river. Six or eight Eskimo
half-breeds were engaged to assist in
hauling provisions, but were dis
pensed with after fortnight.
Up TO about May 10th the explorers
ascended the river in sleighs, then the
ice gave way and the progress of the
party was rendered extremely danger
Gus by reason of the large masses OF
needle shaped ice which met the ca
noes. One canoe upset and two Indi-
ans were in the water for nearly half
| an hour.
The great falls of the Hamilton river
were reached before the ice went out,
and many beautiful photographs were
obtained from all points. No previous
expedition could have had full view
! OF the falls, as only when the river is
| frozen can they be approached within
| five miles. The river has a total fall
of 500 feet. In the center OF the falls
| there is sheer vertical fall of 500 feet.
The river is about as large rs the
| Ottawa. For u quarter of n mile there
| is n rise of 700 feet in the portage lead
ing to the head Of the falls. The cata'
ract is confined within walls 500 TO
| 500 feet in height and perfectly verti-
| cal. In places below the falls the can
Won narrows to from twenty to fifty
feet in width, through which the rush
| OF water is tremendous.

JONES PARK
F"st Becoming Popular sunday Resort

The American people will have some kind of an outlet for rest and recreation on Sunday especially in the afternoon. Wiley Jones understands this and he is getting his park in good shape and the people of the city can go there and enjoy most pleas antly ar any time few hours in rest and recreation. The lawn inside the race track enclosure is as clean as bleached linen and t'e shade trees add greatly to its comfort. While this work has not been done espec- tally for the use of the public still the park is open at all times for visitors. One great attraction there now is the large number of race horses in training for the coming races, May l5, l6, r. This event promises to be one of great interest and will be a drawing card for Pine Bluff In this connection we would suggest to Manager Jones of the street railway that if he would have his cars run more regular and have close connee- tions made our citizens would appre- ciate it and would spend more money in the way ofpatronage than they do
