to be fully one fifth mud. After these
two up-sets our supplies of sugar, cof-
fee, salt and everything else that was
not in cans was 20 per cent mud. But
the worst of it was that these two up
sets cost us the loss of many photos,
films of the upper river.
Big Rock Falls Near Boat
During these storms the rocks
were continually falling in around us.
In one case rock from 4O0-feet cliff
hit the river 10 feet from my boat.
Rapids were formed one>day that were
not there the previous day on account
of the fallen rocks changing the cur
rent. Millions of fish floated on the
surface, choked to death by the mud.
Ten miles below the junction we
discovered the tracks of a trapper,
and day by day they got fresher, un-
til we caught up with him. We found
that he had undertaken to make Cat
aract canyon in an old boat too rotten
to hold nails. We told him we knew
that such a boat could make the trip
and advised him to deck it over with
canvas, which he did. He said he
was in there to see the show and he
was going to see it if his boat went to
pieces. We learned afterward he got
to Hite, Utah, from which point he
could get out to civilization by walking
100 miles to railroad. He made II
miles of canyon in II days. With oul
boats we made the same distance in
two and half days.
For architectural forms, none OF
the gorges will compare with Marble
canyon, about Is miles northeast OF
Ell Tovar Hotel The scenery is of a
different character at Ell TOvar from
the fact that the eye covers a scope
of 13 miles across the canyon and
a lateral distance of about 70 miles
Within this $50 square miles is massed
an innumerable quantity of wonderful
ly beautiful formations. In looking
over this territory from any point
near Ell Tovar, the eye and the mind
are confused by the very quantity Of
the scope.
But in Marble canyon one is
brought into immediate touch with one
of the most wide and rugged scenic
features of the trip.

Start in September

0IdTt III 0CPtCTuUCT
September found them launching
these boats way up in Wyoming,
which is the most available point,
practically the only one where railroad
and river meet in such a way as to
be available for explorers.
+ Their idea was not only to cover the
better known sections of the canyon
in this Journey, but to go the whole
length of the navigable river. The
boats were built with pointed Prov and
square stern, and both ends were slant
ed up in saucer fashion They are
built in this style so that in striking
rock they would not keel over as
a keel boat would do and many a
time this peculiar construction has
saved the lives of the occupants.
Two of these boats were started
from Green River, WyO., and the third
was sent to the Grand canyon for
emergency use on the lower section
of the journey. From Green River to
Grand Canyon is $50 miles, and from
yet to be completed-is about 45O
miles. The boats were decked and
hatched over with the exception of
the center cockpit. Under these hatch
es were the supplies and arms. The
cars were tied to the boat and moth
ing was kept in the cockpit except the
Oarsman-and he not always, for a
good portion of the time he was in the
cold, muddy waters, feeling around for
his boat An essential part of the
equipment was seven cameras includ-
ing the moving picture machine.
Hard to Find Companion
Before they started they tried to
secure a companion for the trip. 1t
was necessary, as the boats empty
weighed 900 pounds, and in handling
them over rocks each was lift for
two men. At different times they en-
ployed-Or thought they had-eight
different men for this position. One
after another dropped out on various
excuses, after learning what the trip
promised. The only honest man of the
bunch was one who declared. Il am
not making any excuses about my
health or my wife's health or any of
the rest of the family. | simply
haven't got the gall to make that
trip
Said Mr.. KOlb: Zone of these eight
men was a San Francisco Irishman,
who was quite singer. For the first
60 miles of smooth river he enter
tanned us with many song. For the
pianissimo; and by the time we had
got 200 miles he was in a shower of
tears, his nerves having given away.
and the man was actually going crazy
from the dangers that he saw around
him. We sent him $50 miles overland
TO safety and a railroad.
Il have said a good deal in a gener-
al way about the dangers. Unless
put some of it into actual words they
are hard to realize. For instance, here
is one experience:
I'VE had two up-sets at 'Hell's Half
Mile in Ladore canyon. There had
been extremely heavy storms all
through Colorado, Wyoming and Ari-
zona, and the river was simply
choked with mud and silt--in fact,

Ohio Man, Gets Experience.
Since Major Powell's day number
of parties have undertaken portions
of this trip, especially in the central
and lower regions of it. Major Powell S
trip was made in 1869. No one had
the courage to follow in his footsteps
after reading of the numerous dan
gers, privations and deaths incurred
on that journey, until just few years
ago, when an old trapper living in that
region took a party over the same
ground. This second explorer was j.
F. Stone of Columbus, Ohio, who made
the trip simply out of desire for nov =
city and unusual eXperience-and he
got it. His guide was Nat Galloway.
Since then the Grand canyon as a
whole was uneXplored by humanity,
until last September, when the Kolb
boys first began their journey, which
bids fair to be record trip in several
respects.

canyon, | met E. c. Kolb and, although

Bismarck, N. d., Sept. 1.-TWO men
and couple Of girls met with an ac-
cident near Fort Lincoln while out

result the girls are confined to their
beds with injuries said to be more or

cover lest their i'd ,nttty become

1t seems from what little could be
learned of the affair that the driver
OF the automobile became confused
and ran the machine upon the railway
track when 1t turned completely over.
The men jumped and escaped serious
injury, but the young women were not
SO fortunate and they were brought to

The machine was towed into the

wan go in for some expensive repairs.

livery brought the female members
into the city in his hack and they were
left at rooming house for medical
and surgical attention. The extent of
their injuries could not be learned.
