Since Days of Noah
Mt. Ararat Has Been
Scene of Many Troubles

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. a.
Mount Ararat, where there has hard
iy been a moments peace since Noah
and his Ark grounded upon its mas
,sive shoulder, is at present the huge,
troubled boundary mark between the
Ottoman Empire and Russia and under
the shadows of the historic peak the
fighting lines of Osmanli and Russian
haev been swaying back and forth,
never far beyond the lines of the from
tier" begins the bulletin issued today
by the National Geographic Society.
tArrarat is the hub of Armenia, OF
the original home of the Hailk PEG
pie 1t is also the center of what has
ever been the most troubled realm on
earth. Tribes of Europe and of Asia
have fought each other here from the
dawn of history, and the remnants
from the battles have settled as neigh
bors, hating, respoiling, massacrins
one another Caucasian history has
always been of blood and destruction,
Of savagery and sudden death, OF
blacklist treachery and heartless cru
elty--a book whose every page is writ
ten full of killings and desolations
Dramatic horror has ever stalked
arom d Arat's broad base, and the
border warfare now in progress forms

Ararat is one of the most impressive
of earth's mountains, for it rises

sheer to the clouds out of an immense
plain, with no neighboring peaks to
soften its isoation and to take from its
majesty. A mighty Mount Ererest is
set well within a massive, sky-touching
range OF mountains; Mount Blanc is
merely one of several imposing fell
lows, but Arrarat stands up, with onl?
a background of sky and plain and
frame of little mountains, splendid
thing without peer. The dominant
mountain is split into two peaks
Great and Little Ararat. Great Ararat
risee to a height of 1900 leet above
the level of the sea. Little Ararat,
where the boundaries of the Ottoman
Empire, of Russia and of Persia meet
reaches an altitude of 12,S40 feet
Though the snow-line here is very
high--14 10000 feet-the dome of Great
Ararat is covered with glittering fields
of unbroken white. Pastures begin
little below the snow-line, and, below
the pastures runs a belt of for the
most part sterile land. Purplish-blue
Ararat rests its foot in a golden plain,
plain of golden sands, splashed with
vivid green's and reds, which shimmers
like a Persian carpet.
"A vast wealth Of legend surrounds
the mountain, which has always
deeply impressed the imaginations o,
the peoples who have wandered pass
ed or settled beneath it. The Armen-
ian priests long believed that the Won
derful mysteries of its summit might
never be surveyed by human eyes, and
all thought of scaling Ararat was cor
sidered almost in the light of sacril-
eye. The Armeinans have also held
that they are the first people after the
flood, the immediate descendants OF

Noah, so to speak; for the first village
that Noah founded after abandoning
the Ark was Nakhitchevan, so Armen-
ian thinks, that his people were the
first race of men to grow up in the
world after the Flood.
The name Ararat means high. The
Persian name for the mountain, Koh-
i-Nuh, means 'Noah's mountain 1t
has been determined by the natives
that the Gardens of Eden was placed
in the valley of the Araxes, a valley
which at the present time enjoys
blessings that go far toward strength
ening its wonderful claim. Noah's wife
was buried in this valley near the
Mountain, and grapes still grow there
whose vines are the direct descend.
ants of vines planted by Noah.
"Ararat was first assembled by the
German, Parrot, in 1929. The success
of his undertaking is said to have
given a rude shock to the Armenian
churchmen, who strongly advised
against the prying into the sacred
mountains summit secrets. The climb
has been made by quite a number o.
high tourists since, among them be
ing Mr.. James Bryce, the noted Brit
ish diplomat. The ascent is said to be
an cay one for the experienced noun

RUSSIA HAS WONDERFUL
WATER RESOURCE BEING
USED VAR|OUSL!

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 22.-Eu-
ropean Russia is over-rich in water
resources, and her rivers, lakes and
marshes have taken the place OF
mountain systems in her scheme of
defense toward the west. Each i'm
portant stand of the Muscovite armies
against the present invasion of the
Teutonic forces has been made along
waterway. Teutonic arms have had
| to win, successfully, passages of the
Wartha, the San, the upper DneiSter,
the Vistula, the Narew, the Niemen
and the Bug, and now the Russians
are reported to be re-grouping on the
line of the Pinsk marshes and the
Duna, or the southern Dvina river.
The National Geographic society in
its statement today gives the following
description of the Dvina, which has
taken on character of great military
interest as the immediate barrier to
German advance on Petrograd:
''The Duna river is now filling the
part that the Vistula river filled
throughout the first part of the war
that the Bug filled following the fall
of Warsaw and Ivangorod, and the
powerful fortress at Duenaburg S now
of the Importance of Novo Georgievsk
| on the contested line of the Bug. The
Duna cuts across the paths leading t.
the north and Petrograd and into the
north-central interior, where are the
IRISH industrial rites, Moscow, Tver,
Ref. While the Courland is rich, the
real resources of Russia begin to the
west of this third line.
''The Duna has it's source in a
small lake-cluster, about 800 feet
above sea level, in the government of
Tver. 1t rises in the same highland
where two of the mightiest rivers of
Russia begin their courses-the Dnie-
per, which flows to the southwark and
empties at Kherson into the Black
Sea- and the Volga, which flows south
eastward and empties into the Caspian.
The sources of the Volga, The river
around whose course a Russian folk
evolved and Russian power grew,

| north of the lakes that give rise TO the

river Duaa. The sources OF the
Dneiper approach near to the DuEa
on the south.
"The river sweeps in fiat arc,
southwest-northwes to its mouth on
the Gulf of Riga. 1t takes up the
drainage of an area of 32,96O square
miles, and is commercial way OF
Importance in western Russia. Riga,
situated 10 miles from its mouth, is
one of Russias greatest port cities,
and a significant part of the products
that its merchants assemble are an
nuaally brought down the Duna. The
large ocean-going steamers can as
cend only to Riga, but river boats PLY
as far as Vitebsk. Larger river
steamers navigate between Duenaburg
and Riga, distance of 1875 miles.
THE river is $50 miles long. Its
upper course lies through broken
country, giving rise to many irregu-
larities in its bed. In its lower course
it has an average depth of about 80
feet and an average bredth OF l4Oo
feet. During the time Of the spring
floods, these measurements largely in
crease The Duna then, often piles
up Is feet above it's usual level and
spreads out for width of more than
a mile. The river is free from ice
on an average of 24O days in the year
at is estimated that more than q
100000 tons of freight are transport
ed over the Duna each year. Among
its tributaries, the Mezha, Usvyat, Kas
plya, Ulla, Disna and Bolder-aa are
also navigable. The Beresina canal
connects the Duna with the Dneiper.
thus giving a freight route by water
from the Baltic Sea, across Europe
to the Black Sea- AS is the general
case with Russian rivers, the Duna
abounds in fish, a very delicate spec
les of salmon being caught in its wa
ters."

NEGRO GIRL KILLED

Last Saturday night several unknown parties went to the home of Smith Briley, colored. about 4 miles north of Prescott, supposedly for the purpose of taking Briley and his wife out to give them a whipping. They met some resistence from Briley and some shots were fired into the house killing a 12-year-old girl.
 Several weeks ago Briley and his wife were tried in Justice court here for whipping two of their children and were fined for the offense. It is supposed that the parties went there to whip the negroes for this off ense, feeling that they did not receive the punishment they de- served.

ARKANSAS RIVER RISING
Flood Stage Is Predicted at Fort Smith-Farmers Are Warn
 ed.

While no rains fell in the Ark ansas river watershed in Okla homa yesterday predictions were made at Fort Smith that the river would reach the flood stage at that point. A stage of l9 to 20 feet is predicted for Little Rock. Weather conditions are unsettled and more rainfall will not cause surprise. H. s. Cole, section director, yesterday sent out precautionary warnings to people in the Arkansas bottom lands. They are advised to be ready for immediate removal. The river probably will exceed the flood stage in Little Rock if additional rain falls.
 Official readings yesterday were as follows: Little Rock, 1856, Fort Smith, 21.0, Pine Bluff, l6.8, Dardanelle. 16.2. The flood stage at Little RocG is 23 feet. at Fort Smith. P feet.
