out, and they driven to the extremity OF
killing and eating their horses. Finally they found
the ford, known since "El Vado de los
Padres" the crossing of the Fathers, made their
way to Hopi, and thence back to Santa Fe.
The explorations of the padres, in the region OF
the Colorado, were abruptly ended on July IT,
17S1 Garces and his co-workers had succeeded in
establishing two nondescrpt missions on the lower
Colorado-one at Yuma, and the other eight miles
away. On the date named, the Yuma Indians at
tackled the missionaries, their servants and all who
sympathized took sides with them, and left
not one alive to tell the tale.
The next epoch of Colorado river exploration has
to do with men of different stamp than the mild
hammered padres 1t was the epoch of the Ameri-
can trappers and fur traders The padre carried
the cross. The trapper carried gun, and was
nothing 10th to make of it. In pursuit of the
beaver, the pes of which formed the only material
fit for the hats of great-grandfathers, they
tramped the western wilderness from Great Slave
Lake to the Gulf of California until it's widest
Businesses became as familiar the back yards of

Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-02

William Henry Ashley the first of this hardy
race to attack the Colorado river in 1925 although
he and his companions did not venture beyond that
section known as the Green river. In 1926 James
10. Patte and his father trapped down the ella
river and then made remarkable journey along
the rim of the Grand Canyon. In 1927, they OBJ
tanned permission from the Governor of New
Mexico to trap. After many adventures with
Indians they made dugouts and started down the
irver below the mouth of the ella. They secured
an enormous number of beaver pelts, but finally
}had to bury these and set out for the coast settle
ments of California. At San Diego they were
thrown into prison, where the elder Pattie died.
Finally the younger permitted to return,
under guard to the place where the furs had been
buried No doubt it was the intention of the
Mexican officials to confiscate the furs, and reim-
1prison the trapper; but it found that rise in
the river had ruined the beaver skins. What
would have happened to Pattie is not hard to con-
lecture had not smallpox broken out on the
lcoast He had a quantity of vaccine virus with
him, and understood vaccination. This knowl-
ledge enabled him to obtain his liberty. He made
his way to his home, Cincinnati, after six
years of extraordinary travel and adventure.
Other great names connected with the Colorado
lat this period those of Bridger, Fitzpatrick,
IGreen Sublet Jededah Smith, Bill Williams, Kit
carson, Ewing Young, William Beckwourth and
too many more to be even cataogued. Then, in
1854 Whereabouts, the beaver hat went out of
fashion, and beaver skins fell in value to a price
THAT no longer justified in hazarding their
,lives for them. &c. like the mailed Conqustadores
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-02

and the gray-clad padres,
the trappers disappeared
from the scene. Their
day had passed.
Next came the era of
scientific exploration.
Fremont, the pathfinder,
explored part of the up
per course of the River of
Mystery in 1916. The
discovery of gold in Cali
fornia in 184S made the
crossing of the Colorado
at Yuma an important
point on the transcon-
tinental journey by the
southern route. The eX-
plorations of Whipple,
Sitgreaves, Emory and
others added much to the
store of knowledge con-
corning the river and the
nature of the country it
traversed. In 1857, Lieu
tenant Ives explored by
steamer and afoot from
the Gulf of the Grand
Canyon; but the major
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-02

portion of that terrific
chasm remained as little
known as when Cardenas
first gazed into its pro-
found depths 317 years
before.
At last John Wesley
Powell came upon the
scene. He left one arm
(his right one) upon the
battlefield of Shiloh, but
he still carried all his
brains. He was the
founder of the Bureau Of
American Ethnology, and
for many years Director
of the U. S. Geological
Survey. He made some
explorations in the region
of the Colorado in 1867
and 1868; and in 1861
with nine companions.
started from Green River
Wyoming, in boats, fol-
lowing the stream through
a thousand miles of
canyons to its mouth.
After 329 years of en-.
deavor, the exploration
of the Colorado river had
at last been accom-
plished. Unfortunately
many instruments had
been lost in the numer
Gus accidents that befel
the boats, so that the
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-02

scientific data were still
incomplete. To remedy
the deficiencies, Powell
led another expedition
down the river in 1871.
Never again until in the
present year, when Rus
sci and Monet traversed
the tremendous series of
canyons, did anyone sue
coed in effecting a pas
sage.
The most famous of the
many canyons of the
Colorado is the Grand
Canyon of Arizona. This
is PIT miles in length.
Add to this the length
of Marble Canyon, &C
miles, and we have a
total length of 2S3 miles
the longest, deepest
and most difficult of pas
sage of any canyon in
The world. The depth be-
gins with a couple of
hundred feet at Lees
Ferry, the head of
Marble Canyon, and
steadily deepens to $500
feet near the little Colo
RADIO, where the sudden
uplift of the Kaibab pla-
teau adds 1000 feet more
to the already magnifi-
cent gorge. For a long
distance the canyon walls
are 5000 feet and more
in height. The average
depth of the Grand Can
yon, through its PIT
miles of length, is about
1000 feet. It's width at
the top varies from four
and a half to II or 10
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-02

miles, while the width of the river itself is from
100 to 500 feet.
North of Marble Canyon is Glen Canyon, 149
miles long, from the paria to the Fremont river
with walls absolutely vertical, so that
stand on the top and drop stone into the river,
1900 feet below. Above that lies Narrow Canyon,
40 miles long and 1900 feet deep. Still farther up
the river are canyons that would be world-re
nowned anywhere but in the Southwest, where
their gories are totally eclipsed by the Grand
Canyon. Among these are Saltwater Labyrinth,
Gray, Desolation, SplitMountan, Whirlpool Lo
dore, Red, Kingfsher, Horseshoe and Flaming
Gorge.
The Grand Canyon has never been adequately
described, photographed, or painted 1t never
will be- 1t has been estimated that if all the earth
and rock that has been excayated from the Panama
Canal since it's inception by the French company
and that will be moved until it's final completion
to sea level could be dumped into this great rift
in the Arizona plateau, 1t would still require
twenty thousand times as much to fill it,
and the area of made" ground would exceed that
of Switzerland. If it were possible to take the
whole chain of the Allegheny mountains, turn
them upside down, and dump them into the Grand
Canyon, there would still be tremendous canyon
left untitled 1t would take ten buildings,
top of another, as tall the Singer Building of
New York. to reach from the rivers level to the
rim at Bright Angel The Great Pyramid of
Cheops is only 4S5 feet in height, the Washington
Monument is 555 feet tall, and the hat of William
PENIS statue on the top of the Philadelphia City
Hall is 557 feet above the street level If one
placed the Pyramid of Cheops upon the floor of the
canyon, planted the Philadelphia City Hall upon

A CARD FROM MRS. WALKER

Dear Friends On the night of
the nth of last month, just as was
preparing to retire, | fell at the
top of my stairway and fractured my
left knee cap. What | have suffered
since that night, in bodily pain and
mental anguish, only those who have
met with a similar misfortune can
fully realize. 1t pleased God in his
.inscrutable wisdom to afflict me. and
| have striven, despite all my agony,
to bear the same without murmur.
But the gloom and misery of my
sick-room have been so lightened by
the hundreds of acts of kindness; by
the countless prayers that have as
cended in my behalf; by the unnum-
bered tokens of sincere love and af-
lection: but the most beautiful flow
erS, plants, lovely bouquets. elegant
presents of bric-a-brac, a clock, pic
lures, fruit, the daintiest and most
appetizing luncheonS, luxuries of ev-
cry sort and kind, without number
coming from everywhere from
Massachusetts to North Carolina,-
that | want to say to eahc one who
has come to see me; to each one who
has had one kind thought of me in
that | want to say TO each one who
has sent me even so much as a bud {;
to each one who has sent me the
smallest token; to each one who has
written me a line of comfort and
sympathy; 10 each individual and to
each council who has remembered
me i'll any form; to the various
boards, officials and employees of the
St Luke; to those who have uttered
one prayer to our God in my behalf
- most sincerely thank yOH for the
same, l can never pay you; I can
only show gratitude and apprecia-
ton; but God will repay. Friends,
do thank you.

KING OF TEXAS.

Way down in Texas, Dallas, if
YOU please, there is a man by the
name of King, said to be the edi-
tor OF the Dallas Express. This
man King never heard of the Taft
boom till he read The Bee, and
because it so readily impaired to
him the information necessary he
has gone crazy and in his wrath
he has declared eternal vengeance
against The Bee. 1t IS to be re-
gretted that King lives so far from
civilization as not to know thatSen-
ator Foraker is out of the running.
The Bee, like Senator Foraker
is under obligations to no man or
set of men. The Bee stands today
where it stood twenty-siX years
