that they remained on duty that night

COLLEGE GIRLS.
From Smith Institution and they Will
Visit Grand Canyon.
AFTER PREHISTORIC RELICS.

X. S. Stovey, an instructor in the va
rious branches of archaeology at Smith
college, Northampton, Mass, was here
last night on his way to Williams, Ari-
xona, where he will make preparations
for the coming of a class of young la
dies from the college to pursue scien-
tifc studies in the field, and arrange
for trips to the Grand Canyon. Ar
rangements will also be made for a
number of excursions of the fair stu
dents into the mountains of New Next
co and Arizona to the prehistoric
haunts of the cliff jewellers.
Mr.. Stovey said that actual field
work by classes of college students is
comparatively new in the west, but
this kind of work has for years been
carried on in the east. There is a club
OF girls at Smith college called the
Appalachian club. 1t is composed Of
students who followed scientific
studies and who, each summer, carry
on actual field work in the eastern
mountains. This Is the club which
will this year make the Rocky noun
tains it's field of research. Mr.. Stovey
Is the field worker of the college and
has charge of these excursions.
The Precursor Of a More importan,
Excursion.
II satisfactory arrangements ar'
made during the present trip it is pos
sible that the club members, with thei
friends, may make their appearance il
this city on their way to the Crane
Canyon Of the Colorado river within
the next month. A month will be spen
in and about the canyon studying tn
curious works which have been lief
to the present age by the cliff jewellers
BY far the most interesting of thu
plans which Mr.. Stovey divulged is tn
fact that next year he will organize al
expedition to traverse the who'll
length of the great canyon. No colleg'
girls will be members of the party. bu
1t will consist of a number of scientist
of eastern universities and guide
chosen from those who are best yer:
ed in the mysteries of the great cal
yon.
"Only two parties have eve su,
ceeded in making this hazardous trip,
said Mr.. Stovey. "The result of bot
expeditions Is that much importaI
knowledge has been added to the gel
eral fund of information Ie garding tn
formation Of the earth's surface in tn
mountainous regions of the ives
There are three strata of stone whic
compose the earth's outer crust. ]
this mysterious canyon it al be see
that there have been three distinct pc
iods of volcanic activity which hav
caused the various formations. TIL
expedition which l hope to form an,
take through the entire length of tn
canyon will go for a definite purpose
We will not go as adventures, but t
study the exact causes and results o
these formations. The trip through
the. canyon will take at least tw
months under ordinary circumstance
but l shall expect to spend almost a
much time in research.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

There is scarcity of labor in
this section that is becoming very
serious, to the planting interest of
the country and to the local indus
tries, aud we note that every year
our sugar refneries have to get
their labor outside when there are
aots of idle, lazy men refusing work
ct good wages.
The plantations report that on
Mondays they can never have all
their men at work, and they get
very poor work from the ordinary
negro of the country, they are be-
