Coming into swift drift, where the river breaks from the calm upper reach to the rapids. he veered toward the Canadian side.
 The boat rode the smaller waves with out a tremor, but caught by the fierce current about midway of the rapids, she was hurled up and almost cleared the mountains of water. Once the craft was side swiped and almost keeled over by a comber. The rapids trip took hardly more than minute.
 As the Niagara" entered the whirlpool her engine was working perfectly. Larsen kept toward the American side of the pool, but he was caught in cross cur rent and was almost drawn into the vor- tex. Only the hardest kind of work with tEe tiller prevented trouble.
 Once clear of the whirlpool, Larsen, headed the boat up stream to put things shipshape for the final test in the Devils Hole rapids e..
 He was badly ruffled in the lower rap ids, but managed to hold course close to the Canadian side, and at 2:14 o'clock passed under the suspension bridge at Lonston. He had made the five miles between the bridges in 19 minutes.
 Larsen also made this trip September IS, 1910. The Niagara the boat he used today, is 10 feet long, feet inches beam and feet deep. The engine Is 14 horse power About TOO pounds of sand ballast was used

 MAY CAUSE REVERSE

Washington, October 29.-President Taft's recent sally on the long drawn out controversy between the cities Of Seattle and Tacoma over the name to be bestowed on what Is now officially known as Mount Rainier, will in all probability, bring about at an early day an attempt to persuade the United states geographic board to reverse its finding, rendered about 1 5 years ago, in favor of the name Mount Ranier over the name Mount Takhoma, or Tacoma. Whether or not the board can be per suaded to act again is a matter of controversy among it's members. There are precedents for a reversal of the findings of the board.
