The representative of the Associated

king. The son of the premier shows
signs of great fatigue from the Journey
Franco Fears Attack
The former premier brought a large
amount of baggage with him. A group
of local newspaper men awaited him at
the station, but when they stepped up
he waved them away with a gesture
of WEAKNESS and ignored the questions
asked. He walked quickly to his hotel.
The face of the man is haggard and
he appears to be preoccupied. He looks
constantly to the right and to the left.

Franco told the manager of the hotel
that he would remain over night, as
he wished to change his Portuguese
money into French money, having none

ADVENTURES
ENDPERUOUS
RIVER TRIP
DARING B0ATMEN NAVIGATE
GRAND CANYON STREAM
Russell and Monet Arrive at Fort
Mojave, Near Needles, After
Thrilling Journey Through
DefiIes of Gorge
Special to The Herald.

| Special to The Herald.
NEEDLES, Feb. AFTER a thrilling
trip through the entire length of the
Grand canyon In a 16-foot rowboat,
two miners, Charles S. Russell and q.
| r. Monet, arrived at Fort Mo1aVe,
fifty miles north of here. today.
After brief stop, during which time
they teIephoned the authorities here of
their arrival, the Adventures continued
down the river and expected to get
into this city about 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The Oldest inhabitants compare the
prevailing excitement here with the
| demonstration made by the populace
when Robert B. Stanton made his IL
| lustrious Journey of 752 miles against
! the current of the same river. The
whole city will unite to welcome the
travellers, and a suite has been reserved
for them at public expense in the RAN =
road hotel and reception Will be
| given in their honor.
When asked for a narrative of the
perilous trip of his companion and him
| self, Russell said:
I'VE rowed below the Bright Angel
| falls for more than fifty miles, and that
part of the journey was so much worse
| than the remainder of the trip that
| there is positively 40 comparison. Sew
| eral times Monet and I were able to
save our slight craft only by good luck
and hard work, and we were repeatedly
| in danger of being wrecked on the
| rocks of the falls. I never had the
pleasure of going through Niagara, but
| If 1t is any worse than the Diamond
creek rapids it must be more than
rocks and water, and l would much
prefer to attempt it navigation.
Eat the Bright Angel station we did
not dare to lower the boat over the
falls but Monett managed to scramble
down the side of the rapids and 1 shot
them in the boat. Half way down the
skiff capsized and / had to continue
underneath until the bottom was
reached, when I was able to swim out
in the big eddy. Our camera plates
were we'll protected, so we were able
to save all of our photographs, although
it now seems miraculous. At some
points in the trip we were forced to
drag and push our boat over sandbars
on account of the shallow water"
Mr.. Russell was not inclined to tell
much of his success in finding minerals
In the gorge, but is supposed to have
discovered rich deposits In the granite
lodges of the canyon.
The two miners started on their novel
Journey September 20 and have covered
the allotted distance Of 752 miles in 141
days. According to the plans to reach
here tomorrow the last 1872 miles of the
will have been Travelled in thirty-three

by various members of the committee
concerning the petitions of the railroad
