races, running east and west along the
southern border Of Utah. These have
been carved by erosion out of the high
cr strata of the plateau and rise in
huge steps northwurd to elevations of
II 900 feet or more. The southern Dor
der of this district Is marked by an
abrupt descent to lower country
along a series of cliffs carved from the
plateau strata.
The northern portion of the Grand
Canyon district is divided into five
minor platforms or plateau blocks by
great lines of fracture or ilcXurc
which trend north and south and are
roughly parallcled.
Long Series Of Canyons.
The Colorado river crosses the pla-
tcau province from northeast to south
west. 1t has carved n series of can
yons whose total length exceeds 500
miles. All these canyons are clear
forms and their stcp-lkc walls de-
SCcnd abruptly by alterations of bold
cliffs and narrow lodges. The river
ut the bottom carries the drainage
from the whole western front of the
Rocky mountains in Colorado and
southwestern Wyoming. Because of
tn" general impHssabilty and inhospi-
table character of the bordering des-
crts, these canyons form barrier to
human travel more effective than the
Rocky mountains. The Colorado river
is unbridgcd for 700 miles, distance
about equal to the distance between
New York and Chicago.
In the high-blOckcd platcauS of the
Grand Canyon district the canyons
reach their elimination in size and
grandeur. The pathway of the river
across these plateaus is the most re-
markablc valley in the world. The
section that travcrScS the marble plat
form is known rs the Marble canyon.

Passengers arriving here today on the

week, campaign to kill all Americans
in that district was planned.
Carranza officers of influence, it is
said, prevented the plans from being
carried into effect. The news of the
scheme caused an exodus from the
oil fields.
Ten refugees. who were on the tank

The tanker met the battleshiP Ken

good speeches made. Notable among
those was the speech of Rev. Law
renee l.. Cohen, Jr., the new Methodist
minister, who. even though he wan
dered far from the field of thought
which the toastmasier had ordered
him to follow in his discourse, man
aged to reach his final period without
too greatly mystifying his auditors.
Possibly the best speech Of the even
ing was that of Mayor Coffman, who
stated he was proud OF the fact that
he lived in Chickasha and that he dill
not care to say any more. The mayor
stopped well within his minute and a
half limit
Jonas Cook made another good
speech but when he wandered from
the paths of fact and entered the
realms Of fiction by stating that he
expected to live in Chickasha for a
hundred years to come, he was
promptly sat upon and time was call
ed.

CLERK

Don't say too much about me" )"
said ]. I. Hill as he handed to the
newspaper man fer publication his
announcement for the Democratic
nomination for county clerk. "You
know am a modest sort of man and
I would blush if you gave me too big
puff he continued. "Just tell the
boys that the kid is in the race. That
will be about enough"
Few men in Grady county are better
known than T. Hill. He is a ma
tive of South Carolina and at the open
ing of war between the states he en-
hsted under the banner Of the stars
and bars, serving throughout the
struggle. In the course of subsequent
years he followed the procession
westward, finally landing in the best
spot in the world and has been a resi-.
dent of ChiclIasha ever since. In 1912
he was elected county recorder and
served one term, the office being con
solidated with that of county clerk at
the end of that period
''The people Of this county know
me and what kind of man l am, said
Mr.. Hill. "All that l promise them
is that If they elect me as their county
clerk, will do my best to see that
the office is honestly and economi-
cally conducted and you may also
state that l Will never again be can
didate for public office"
