ANDREws.KIMBALL

A very pretty wedding was sol. emnized at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Eben Kimball on Wednesday afternoon June 10, when their daughter Maude Christie became the bride of Mir. Frank E. Andrews, of Beckett, Mass. The day was one of the rare "June days" when earth, air and sky are in harmony and mother nature has made this earth a place of beauty and delight. The house was tastefully trimmed with laural and locust blossoms and the cere- mony was conducted by the Rev. w. F. Maylott of the East Canaan Congre- gational church under an arch of laurel. The couple were attended by Miss Avis Kimball, a sister of the pride, as bridesmaid, and MT. Alfred Andrews, brother of the groom, us best man. The bride was simply gowned in white voile and carried white roses, the bridesmaid wore pink chiffon over yell low silk and carried pink and white carnations. The wedding march was played by Miss Ruth Tower, of Beckett, Mass. Following the ceremony an in- formal reception was held and dainty luncheon served after which the bridal couple departed amid shower of rice, confetti and good wishes for their home at Lee, Mass, where the groom is en- gagged in the automobile business.

and which is not shown on any exist ing map, but it is not even guessed at on any existing map; of which the up per courses of the; navigable portion have never before been traversed by any civilized man; of which the lower portion had been known for years by the rubber men, but of which no to- pographer had the faintest idea of the existence.
 We descended in the neighborhood of a thousand feet all told from the head waters to the bottom of that river.
 Dismisses Flood" Story.
 It has been suggested that this was not river, but represented floods in the forest. Floods do not stand at an angle of descent of a thousand feet, and they do not extend to cover a dis tance of from 900 to 1000 miles. I saw the suggestion made that the riv- CT might be either the Madeira or the Tapajos. My companion, MT. Fiala, went down the Tapajos. MT. Miller went down the Madeira. We went down a river in between. So that most of our party went down both the Tapajos and the Madeira and we went in between.
 The length of the river we cannot give accurately. We computed 1t by dead reckoning at between 1,4OO and 1,500 kilometers. 1 should say 900, e50 or possibly 1000 miles. It runs be- tween nearly the thirteenth and fifth parallels of latitude-that is, it covers about seven and half degrees of lati- tude. Of course that is about doubled by the curves. AS you will see if you turn to the map of Europe. that is a distance considerably longer than the Seine and Rhone combined-as far as I can see, allowing for the slant of the curves. about as long as the Rhine or the Elbe.
 At this point of the river, where the upper Aripona, so called, comes in, we measured the bottom, and 1t Is about 4,500 cubic meters a second. by which you can get fair idea of its volume in comparison with other rivers. Ex- cepting for the 100 miles or 150 miles from the mouth, it is not navigable for steamboats because it Is so broken by rapids and such very swift river.

sition. Its course is really about where the Jamaire is on the map put down as running. l could not trace out our course with reference to the map be- cause we would have to make impos- sible zigzags in order to cross on the map the rivers that we actually crossed Now we came down to this point here Indicating on the map. There on the map is a mountain. There was really valley, with river flowing down the middle. On this map, which is the best modern map, the map pro- duced for me by MT. Grosvenor, as representing the latest information they had-on this map there is a river rising here. It does nothing of the kind. 1t does not run anywhere near 1t. Here are those rivers heading up there. They do not head up there. We went down another river, where their sources are supposed to be, and these mountains are almost as irrelevant to the actual facts as are the rivers them selves.
 You can see, as said, better on this map here. Here is the Tapajos. Here is the Gyparana running into the Ma deira. On that map and on this you will find little river in about 51h de- grees. think the actual course is about 5.12 or 5.15,' but very nearly 5.5 "a little river without any name.
 Found River Not on Map.
 We found river-that is that black spot there Indicating on map)-with no hint or suggestion on the map. l repeat that there is not a hint or a suggestion. There is not a hint or a suggestion of any big river between the Duvida and the Madeira except that this map gives incorrectly that river as flowing where 1t does not flow. With that river we have noth- ing to do.
 We found that this river, called the Duvida River of Darkness) arose be- tween the fifty-ninth and sixtieth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich. just north of the thir- teenth degree of latitude, south. It at first flowed west and then south and then flowed north, originally as a mountainous, timber choked brook, not navigable until in latitude 1 degree 1

ures-President Asserts There Is No
 Reason For Business Depression.
 A sensation rivaling President Will sons lobby charges of a combine to defeat the tariff bill was launched by the president himself.
 He .bluntly charged that a combina- ton of business interests is behind the agitation to compel congress to adjourn without enacting trust legislation. .
 He caused to be made public core spondence which he said speaks for itself'' and proves his contention that the so called country wide business depression is purely psychological"
 The correspondence includes letter sent out by w. F. Abnelt. president of the Pictorial Review company of New York asking. it's representatives and correspondents to send form letters to thes president and leading legislators demanding that all proposed trust leg islation be abandoned for the present.
 The president said that, so far as he was concerned, he would insist on the entire trust program going through as planned. Business in this country is actually healthy and there Is no real basis for the alleged depression, Presl- dent Wilson told his callers when he made it clear that. in his mind this alleged depression Is of an artificial nature. A normal amount of business, the president said, was apparent. And he was certain that the campaign to prove that business is in an unhealthy state is bound to fail.
 These remarks the president dovetail- ed into his statement that he intends to hold congress in session until the administration trust program is enact ed Those opposing that program want to force an adjournment without action. President Wilson intends to do everything to defeat such plan He pointed out that the worse thing for business is further delay of sev- eral months with business men unin- formed definitely in regard to the plans of the legislators.
 Majority Leader Underwood has sup ported a plan for the immediate ad jOurnment of congress until after cleo ton and the trust bills then to be taken up at a special session. The president has no sympathy with such a plan. and he said so emphatically.

The first thing he knew about was hearing the dog yell, then coming toward him, then yelling again and then silence, and he was sure-and it afterward proved he was right-that it had been killed by Indians.
