Electric Light 40. and Ross Liesk, as
sistant i'm the physics laboratories at
the Michigan college OF Mines Will
start Saturday afternoon from Nesto-
ria, Baraga county. on a canoe trip
down the Sturgeon river with Hough-
ton as their destination. They are al
lowing two weeks for the trip. In
length the distance to be covered IS
about three times that of the Otter
river trip taken annually by local fish
ermen. Estimates of the distance to
be covered following the river vary
between 40 and 200 miles Local
sportsmen familiar with the Sturgeon
river country are almost unanimous ina
declaring that the trip cannot be made.
The topography of the country it is
said precudes the possibility of any
one ever going through from Nestoria
to the mouth of the Sturgeon in "A
canoe or flatboat. The main branch OF
the Sturgeon rises on the southern
slope of II nile Hill back OF LAnse
and flows southeast, following the road

fall of the river in its upper stages Is
very rapid. The rapids are in many
places checked with granite boulders
and around the upper and lower falls

Nevertheless Cdhoon and Lcisk are de-
termined to attempt the trip.
Investigation mas developed the fact
that there is no record Of the trip
having been attempted before. Doctor
Ferris was member of party which
started about seven miles below Nes-
toria several years ago bat We're forced

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
PORT DEPOSIT. Md, Oct. S-Many
important subjects were discussed at
the closing sessions of the Presby-
terry Of New Castle county here yes
terday afternoon and night The
Presbytery accepted an invitation TO
meet next spring in Preston, Md.
AT the afternoon session a commu-
nication from the General Assembly
was considered, requesting action on
the pro osition to impose a tax of
IA to 1 per cent. per capita for the
expenses of the committee on vacan-
cies and supplies which intends to es-
tablish a bureau at Chicago The
PresDytery acted negatively on the
proposition, believing that IA to 1
per cent. tax would provide far too
much money for the purpose intended.
Six overtures from the General AS
semLly also were acted on in refer
ence to a Presbyterian minister act
ing as pastor of union church. The
Presbytery opposed this particular
case, but emphasized that 4 was pre-
ierable that a church should be under
one government rather than under
none but no general rule could be
aid d. to cover all cases of church
unity, which in many instances, are
desirable and are carried out effec-
lively b. the Presbyterians with other
denominations.
The 2resbytery acted favorable on
he overture providing that church
essions shall keep more complete
