BOAT ON GREEN RIVER
NEW s1EAMsoAr, CITY OF MOAB
viii Run From Grand River Station On
the o. { 4. G. Railroad to
Moab, Utah.

Had it not been for an obstruction in
the Grand river. encountered by the
steamer City of Moab, ON its maiden
trip, the little Utah city OF that name
would have held the greatest celebra-
lion in Its history by this time, says
the Denver Republican of June lst.
However. the enthusiasm of the resi-
dents over the opening Of the Grand,
Green and Colorado rivers to naviga-
ton by the Green-Grand Navigation
Company has not waned in the slight
est, and when the boat does reach the
city, probabaly within thirty days,
there will be rousing demonstration.
J. j.. Lumsden. president of the
Green-Grand Navigation Company, and
c. A. Anderson. captain of the "City of
Moab" owned by the company and op-
Grated on the Green and Grand rivers
between Green River station on the
Denver & Rio Grande, and Moab, Utah,
were visitors in Denver yesterday. In
describing the new steamer, a most
unique sort of craft, Mr.. Lumsden
said:
THE City of Moab built last season
and launched in April. is fifty-five feet
long and nineteen feet deck beam, has
two decks and can handle from fifty to
sixty tons of freight and from fifty to
sixty passengers. There are ten COM
Portable staterooms and the passenger
accommodations are first class. The
boat is operated by a gasoline marine
engine of sixty horsepower and Is cap
n n ms n
miles per hour. The distance from
Green River station to the junction OF
the Green and Grand rivers is about
l40 miles, and from this junction to the
first cataract in the Colorado river the
distance is about five miles. From the
of the Grand and Green rivers
10 Moab the distance is about ninety
miles
AT the present time there is an OBJ
struction in the Grand river about five
miles above the junction which pre-
vents the operation of the boat through
TO Moab. This obstruction, however,
does not prevent the operation Of the
boat between Green river and the first
cataract on the Colorado river, and as
" is the intention OF the company to
dynamite the obstruction in the Grand,
it is expected that within thirty days
it will be possible to operate the boat
through to Moab. The trip to the cat
aracts and return can be made in four
days and this allows ample opportunity
for stopping along the route, thus en-
abling the tourist to examine the Cliff
Dwellers' remains and other interest
ing points.
The scenery for the entire distance
is magnificent, walls of the canons In
many places rising to perpendicular
height of from 1000 to 5000 feet.
About twenty-five miles south of Green
River station the river enters stu
pendous canon and the boat does not
until Moab, on the Grand, is
reached. The proprietors contemplate
hotel at point not yet
on, in one of the canons for
the accommodation Of tourists and ex-
cursionists. 1t is their expectation to
provide these hotel accommodations
before the present season is over.
"The navigation of the river is not
attended with the slightest danger, as
the current does not exceed three miles
per hour.

 The card party given yesterday by Mrs. Charles Le F'ebre sticlSney in compli- ment to Mrs. Charles Clinton Seeds. and Miss Octavia Sledge of Greensboro, and Mrs. L. T. Ranodlph of Washing ton, was a charming occasion, assem- bling sixty guests. Mrs. Stickney's hand some home on Nineteenth street was typical of a spring garden, the drawing rooms and the entire house beautifully decorated in lovely tulips. Not only in the decorations, which were So effective, but in the score cards and all the de- tails was this spring blossom the dis tinguishlng feature Hand-painted in charming and graceful designs on dozens of score cards they made artistic sou venirs, and even the prizes were hand painted in tulips. They included an ex- quisite vase, the design in tulips, and a silver fern dish filled with these fra grant blossoms. The consolation was drawn from a silver platter ladened with tulips, and in the delicous luncheon served at the close of the games the ice course was designed as tulips.
 Mrs. Suekney made charmlng ana gracious hostess, her very smart after noon gown being of coon colored crepe de chine with handsome laces.

THIS MORNINGS GOSSIP

ana Tor the holding of serious conferences with her coutouriene The fashion jour nais are so filled with spring gossip that the weeks intervening between the begin nlng of Lent and Easter will be all too snort for the completion of the spring and summer wardrobe. Some of the cor rect models in hats, and in what is again so popular, the lingerie waists, are given for perusal this morning.
 Wings are to be immensely fashionable this spring. The small maline hats, as well as many of the advance models, show wings and wings enough to con- vince any one of their vogue. Another indication is that tAe hat tipped forward over the face is to be great favorite. A well-known correspondent writes to the Millinery Trade Review: "Of course, it depends on the style or shape whether 1t actually overshadows the brow or not, but the setting forward is universal, even for hats turned back in front. The new small, round toque is perched right in front at an angle of 45 degrees with the forehead. To keep it in this position the hair must be arranged rather high on the top of the head"
 The new, or, at least, the recent form of hat pin in the shape of a large safety pin will be found valuable for keeping the hats tilted at the proper angle These pins are not intended to be thrust through the body of the hat, but are lastened un- der the back of the hat and into the hair coil
 1 The immense popularity of lingerie waists has called into the market many beautiful embroidered linens. so that it ate means to wear the dainties' of houses at half or one-quarter the cost of the l first imported handmade waists. Hand- kerchief linen exquisitely embroidered gives the effect of handwork, whether it is done by machinery or not. At s2.50 yard the linen is by no means cheap, but most people can afford to buy enough l for a shirtwaist front In the cutting, collar and cuff bands will be forthcoming and the linen is easily matched in plain goods for the rest of the waist and the sleeves. Heavier linen in all-over pat tern embroidery may be had as low as l $f.5O a yard Linen crash Is cheaper, 75 cents and $1 a yard buying a good qual- 1 ity in open rings or flower designs of broderie Anglaise. All of these will make | beautiful shirtwaists. or shirtwaist suits they will come in for decorative purposes, the embroidered linen trim ming the waist and forming bands and panels for the skirts
