Swain Highway commissioners
met last Saturday for the purpose
Of deciding upon the route from
Bryson City to the Jackson Coun ty

proposed and urged, and it was with
some difficulty that the Comnliss-
toner's reached an agreement.
Each route was discussed. and fin
ally in order to reach an a6ree-

were made. Ali in all the route
decided upon seems to meet the ap-
proval of the majority oi the people
and will doubtless be Of benefit to
more taxpayers than any other

The location of the road is as fol-
1st. Starting at the square in
Bryson, running east On the south

near Ella and rum ing up the Ocon

1t was also decided to let tire COZ
traces for the construction OF tn

The Commissioners are doll
their very best to locate the HI:

GEOLOGY OF GRAND CANYON
Bulletin of United States Geological
Survey Describes Vast Wonders of
Natures HandiwOrk.

Ever since Powell's daring boat TRIP
down the Colorado in 1869 biologists
have known that the walls of the
Grand Canyon display one of the most
remarkable and instructive geologic
sections in the world. At first glance
the impressive feature of that section
is the great thickness of nearly hori-
zontal strata through which the river
has sunk it's bed-strata ranging in
age from Carboniferous at the top, on
the brink of the chasm, to Cambrian
at the base.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has published as Bulletin $40 a
report on the geology Of the Shinumo
quadrangle-the Grand Canyon dis
trict-by L. F. Noble. Although the
bulletin contains considerable litholo-
gic and stratigraphic material that
will scarcely interest those who are
not biologists, DR.. Noble has very
properly remembered that the people
as a whole have unusual claims to
consideration in any publication deal
ing with the Grand Canyon, and has
skillfully supplied as setting to this
more strictly scientific work much
vivid description and lucid explanation
which will help all those who take
more than transient interest in what
they see to understand one of the
most impressive and significant of the
inanimate works of nature.
By far the most interesting scenic
ground in the quadrangle is Powell
Plateau, on the north side of the can
yon. To the geologist the views from
this plateau are encyclopedia. The
rocks that are visible represent in
turn nearly every geologic age, and
the sequence or order of deposition Of
each series of bends is apparent at a
glance. Every great geologic process
is illustrated. Perhaps the most i'm
pressive record of all is that of uplift
and erosion. This record, registered
in what the geologist terms "uncon-
formities," or breaks in the regular
and continues process of sedimentary
accumulation, shows that for vast Pc
RODS rocks, instead of being formed,
were being washed away by rain,
streams, and waves, leaving a worn
surface which later sank beneath the
sea and received new sediments. The
later periods of geologic history are
recorded in the removal, by erosion, of
vast thicknesses Of strata and the pro-
duction of the surface of the region in
its present aspect. The panorama is
probably the most complete geologic
revelation in the world.

The distinguished and well-beloved
bishop of a certain southern state is
so absent-minded that his family is
always apprehensive for his welfare
when he is away from them.
Not long ago, while making a jour-

find his ticket when the conductor
asked for it.
"Never mind, bishop" said the con-
ductor, who knew him well, "I'll get it
on my second round"
However, when the conductor pass
ed through the car again, the ticket
was still missing.
ooh, well, bishop, it will be all right
if you never find it," the conductor
assured him.

The amount of joy in ones life is
not at all dependant upon the amount
of money one spends. A man can get
just as much fun, for instance, out of
lying about the height of his tomato
plants as he can out of pursuing the
same course with respect to his
mileage per gallon of gasoline.
