OUR NATURAL BRIDGES.
worlds Greatest Ones So Far as
Known Are I'm Utah.

It is not generally known that the three
greatest natural bridges in the world-at
least so far as present knowledge goes
are located in an almost inaccessible por-
ton Of Southeastern Utah. says the New
York sun.
The country is uninhabited and unin
habtable for the greater part, the only
settlement Of any account being the small
town called Bluff. on the San Juan River,
and the nearest railroad station being Do
| lores, in Colorado, 105 miles eastward.
The country Of the natural bridges can
/ be reached via Bluff, going by wagons TO
/ the latter place. then by horses with pack
/ train.
Last year a member Of the National
/ Geographic Society equipped an expedi-
/ ton with surveyors and Artists and sent
/ il out 20 make a careful study of the
bridges. According TO the expeditions
report. as published in the National Geo
/ graphic Magazine. no one should think
/ of going into this region without having
! thoroughly studied all the conditions. The
/ few guides that have been there have q
very limited knowledge Of the country.
and the main and side canyons so cut up
the country that a party may easily be
| come lost.
OF the three great arches the Augusta
! Bridge is the largest, the measurements
being. Height 256 feet; span, 80 feet:
width i'm narrowest part, 80 feet and
/ thickness. IS feet
Next comes the Caroline Bridge, with
height, 1S2 feet; span, $50 feet; width. 6i
feet. and thickness, 50 feet, The smallest
is the slender, graceful Edwin Bridge
height. III feet. span, 2o5 feet; width, 81
feet. and thickness. 10 feet.
The Augusta Bridge was so named IN
honor of the wife Of Horace J. Long, who
in 1903 visited the bridges in company
with James ScOrup. Mr., Scorup, It ap-
mars. had visited these bridges previous
10 this time. and in showing Long the
way to them stipulated the second one
should be named the Caroline. after ms
(Scorup's) mother.
So far as SCOrup knew, the bridges were
first discovered by Emery Knowles III
1885, and he himself visited them in COM
panv with two cowboys, Tom Hall and
jim Jones. in the fan of that year.
The next party to visit this section, Sd
, far as known, was that promoted by tbs
Salt Lake City Commercial Club during
the winter and spring of 1905. The Edwin
Bridge was named at this time after Ed
win f. Holmes, who organized that party
and who also equipped the latest expedi
ton.
These bridges, composed as they are O
Hight sandstone. might seem to be wear
! ing away very rapidly. Such, however, il
/ not the case: for in the caves beneath tn

FOREIGN FLAG AT CINCINNATI.
The Clara Ramos There, and Town
Feels Like Real seaport.

For the first time in the history of the
city a steamer flying the flag Of foreign
country tied to the bank in the port Of
Cincinnati last Saturday says the Com
merciaI Tribune of that city. She was
bound for the Gulf Of Mexico and thence
across its water 10 the inland waterways
Of the republic of Mexico. Built at Pitts
burg, unique in appearance, three
decker. graceful in outline, and flying
light. the Clara Ramos dipped her flag in
salute TO the flag Of the United States fly
ing from the array of steamers at the
wharf and was saluted in turn.
II was an interesting incident in the his
tory of the port Of Cincinnati, and is
suggestor of great possibilities, While
the Clara Ramos gave the Cincinnatlans
the first sight of a foreign flag in port
Cincinnati in the olden time built ships
which have sailed down the Ohio and the
Mississippi and crossed the ocean to Liv-
erpool and to other ports They engaged
and continued in the ocean carrying trade
long before the days Of steam in ocean
navigation, and when Jack Tar wGs not
only a picturesque but a necessary at
tachment to trade and commerce between
the United States and foreign countries.
In Cist's History of Cincinnati the fol-
lowing interesting statement is given from
the Liverpool Times of January 80, lSi5:
I'VE have received a file of Cincinnati
papers brought by the first vessel that
| ever cleared at that port Cor Europe. The
| building of a vessel of $50 tons-tne Musk
| ingun-on a river !, 700 miles from the sea
| is. in itself, a very remarkable Circum-
stance, beth as a proof Of the nagnifi-
cence of the American rivers and the
spirit of the American people. The navi-
eating Of such vessel down the Ohio
/ and the Mississippi aal then across the
Atlantic would few years ago have been
thought impossible She brings a cargo
of provisions, and we trust that the sue
! cess of this first venture viii be such as
| to encourage its frequent repetition"

Rome. June 15-Admiral Reynandi,
president Of the Italian bureau of immi-
grafton, recently made a report detailing
the advantages and drawbacks of Trans
oceanic emigration"

years. the report says. has increased
considerably, and in & great measure was
composed Of persons Of the most produc-
tive aid. especially IN regards TO agricul-
ture AS most Of the emigrants We're
bound for transoceanic countries their
absence is Of a more or less prominent
character, and consequently constitutes
a real dlminution of the cOuntrys popu-
lation In many provinces the emigra-
ton has reached the utmost limit. As
the countries where the Italian emigrants
are bound do not as a rule favor immigra-
ton, it follows that the prospect of the
emigrants are no longer so good as they
have been heretofore. Not all of them
succeed in finding profitable, stable
work.
Il has been ascertained Of late, years
that not only unskilled labOrers and poor
people emigrate, but also well-to-do
tradesmen. small farmers, and 10 lesser
degree professional persons. Thus, while
formerly only those who could not find
work in Italy left the country, at the
present time men forsake work here in
order TO improve their condition abroad.
Only AbIe-bodied Emigrate.
Owing TO the laws limiting and restrict
ing immigration in most countries, the
emigration has a tendency TO become Sc
lected 10 the great detriment Of the moth
er country. Only able-bodied men, those

feeble. the aged, the incompetent, anf
children are left As a result. only g

Italy is strong and capable Of work

I'VE are told by those who style them
selves the stronger sex that we are
much inferior Is that SOP
A loud chorus Of 'Nol" from the Ia
dies greeted this question, and the
orator went on:
Il say that woman feels where man
thinks"
'Is that the reason your husband is
bald?" inquired one Of the few male
members of the audience.
It was lucky for him that he got two
seconds start in the race for the door.
