l MOST UNIQUE CELEBRATION
 IN HISTORY OF CANYON

On Monday and Tuesday last at the Grand Canyon occurred one of the most unique celebra- tions ever known in the history of the Mystic Shrine. The social order to which only Masons of the highest degrees are eligible.
 The Canyon good time will compare in it's extention of hos pitality to the Imperial Divan of the Mystic Shrine of North America with their visit to Pana- ma last year or their trip to Hawaii the year before.
 A big barbecue under the management of Douglas, White and the Cowboy Patrol of, Fl Zanbah took place Monday noon. Every person at the Canyon in cluding the. Indian, was served. Enough meat being on hand to discourage the prospect of any corner by the beef trust if it had been saved. As nothing but the most luscious loin steaks were there we are still wondering what became of the rest of the animals. After the Barbecue there was big parade of the Nobles and Novices followed by a banquet at, ' P. M.
 The initiation of 55 candidates in-the big tent at Rowe's Point from 8 to II P. M. following among whom were Messrs. Duff field, Amundsen, Kennerdel, Kenneth Hughes, Billy Pitts, and F'red Twitty of Williams.
 There was a big dance for the ladies also an experience meet. ing for the gentlemen which, lasted from II P. M. on.
 Tuesday was spent in trips down and around the Canyon and after another dance Tues day night the Bunch of Good fellows and girls departed for home.
 Every one admits they had a fine time-believes that the Car yon some day soon will be one of the best known places in the I.U. s. for reunions and conven- tions. Williams is the Gateway to the Grand Canyon. Don't do anything to close the Gate.

Yesterday John Smith became she owner of the Bobby Burns Trans fer line ard at once entered upon his duties. For several years Bobby has seen other men enter the trans fer business and stay with it for a short time and then take up some thing else, but this time it is Bobby that capitulates to the other fellow and Bobby is back in the ranks in the City of Opportunities.

NICK STARK BACK HOME
Former Assistant Editor of Williams News gets Write up in Detroit Daily.


 Charles Nicholas Stark, other wise Nick, is home again. He appears this afternoon with the Avenue theatre stock company after an absence of several years. MT. Stark has had picturesque and varied career. Originally a journeyman printer, he after ward became a newspaper re- porter, serving papers in Detroit, Philadelphia and other cities. His life in Arizona, where he was widely known as the snake editor" of the Tombstone Epi- taph, was filled with romance and adventure, and his editorial duties were spiced with occasion al prospecting trips as member of Sheriff's posses which in those days frequently took the trail of renegade Indians. Nick a lso ventured into politics, and was for a time he running mate of Henry F. Ashurst, now United States Senator from Arizona, both being members of the nine teenth legislative assembly.
 It was in Arizona that Nick drifted into theatrical work. Then he went to Los Angeles and joined stock company with which he made his first profess ional appearance, which he says was fraught with considerable distress to the, audience an d danger to himself. Returning east, he joined Porter J. White in an ill-fated enterprise. Then followed several seasons in melo- dramas in which Nick invariably portrayed the role of heroic In- dians. From the aboriginal drama he graduated into the classics, making successive ap- pearances with the late Louis James, James O'Neill, and Nor rison's Faust One of his most successful road seasons was as Capt. Williams in Paid in Full. ~ His stock experience has been extensive and varied, in- cluding engagements at t h e Grand Opera House, Brooklyn; tn e International Theatre a t Niagra Falls; the Poli companies at Hartford, Waterbury and Nor wich, Conn; the Academy of Music. New York; the Franklin company at Stapleton, Staten Island and various stock enter prises.
 Last season Nick was with w. s. Harkins company, W hi c h troupeds thru the West Indies, Bermuda, Newfoundland an d Novia Scotia. In the repertoire of this company, he played roles ranging from the Japanese in Bought and Paid For," to Mon- signor Saracfnesca i1f sAFEhec7H4EIIfii Fh4ee W. itee it Sister," His experiences have carried him to all corners of America and Canada from Medi. cine Hat to Kankakee, which is flippantly referred to in his fam ous recitation, 'The Other One Was Booth.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-02-18
THE STREET CAR SITUATION.

We wish to commend the Barre &
Montpelier Traction company and en-
ployes for getting together to settle
their differences by arbitration, the men
meanwhile showing their confidence IN
the good intentions of the company by
resuming work just as soon as the pre-
liminary arrangements were made. Such
evidence of confidence is in marked con-
trast to conditions that have prevailed
in many other sections of the country
when differences have arisen over labor
matters and when each side has not only
shown marked distrust of the other but
each has resorted to acts which would
not be countenanced in the normal course
of proceedings. Throughout the two
weeks suspension Of labor by the en-
ployes of the local company there has
been nothing to cast reproach on either
side, there apparently being a mutual
spirit of tolerance and good viii all the
time.
III ~ True, HOWeFeT, tlldL the puDilc
has been put to some inconvenience eth
err by forced necessity or by voluntary
action on its part during those two
weeks; which situation strengthens the
belief that the prospective adjustment
of differences ought to be accompanied
by firm stipulation that there shall be
neither strike nor lockout pending rea-
sonable efforts to reach settlement.
Such stipulation is not only possible
but it is frequently put into use in many
labor and capital relations; and in two
communities like Barre and Montpelier,
where there is a more or less definite
bond of sympathy between employer and
employe, it is possible to abide by such
an understanding as expressly stated in
bill of settlement. We should like to
see such stipulation Incorporated in
the next agreement.

BONES OF EXPLORERS
FOUND IN PERU
Besley Expedition Returns After Many
Adventures and Marrow Escapes
in the Wilds.

| New York, Feb. lS.-Members of the
Besley expedition, which left here last
summer to explore unchartered regions
Of South America, returned yesterday
on the steamship Byron and reported
that they had found the bones of mem
bers of probably two previous expedi-
tions. which entered the wilds of Peru
and never were heard FROM The Cro-
mer expedition, headed by w. H. Gro
mer, former West Point cadet, and
William Fl. Page, Chicago high school
instructor, left the United States about
two years ago. The Seljan expedition,
said to have been sent out in search of
rubber by i. i. Grundlich of Chicago, is
thought to have taken practically the
same route ms the Cromer party. The
Besley expedition crossed the South
American continent from Lima and came
down the Amazon from the head waters
to its mouth. They found hip and thigh
bones and other traces of previous expe-
ditions on the way and erected cross
to their memory.
Those who returned yesterday were
Captain J. Campbell Besley, an English
man; FRANKLIN b. Coates, j. X. Hol-
brook and j. w. Dunno. They reported
the discovery of new Inca city in Peru
called Plateriyapoe, and visited other re-
gions hitherto unknown to white men.
Captain Besley said he encountered on
the trip savage cannibal tribes armed
with poisoned arrows and on one occa-
sion his party was attacked by them.
An exchange of gunshots for the arrows
drove them off"It was one of the most
exciting and perilious journeys that
white man has ever undertaken and
passed through alive" said member of
the party. "There were times when
wrong move meant death, not only
among the savages, but also while tray
cling the treacherous Huallayo river, fun
of rapids and whirlpools. We had to
divide our nights into four watches as
protection both against the Indians and
wild beasts"
