KOlb Brothers
Party Visit Delta

Ellsworth L. Kolb was a visitor to
the Independent office last Friday
and informed us that the trip was to
be made through the rough and rug
ged Black canon of the Gunnison dur
ing the month of September this year
Mr.. Kolb states that their equip
ment to make the trip during the
present high state of the Gunnison
was entirely too light and that they
did not anticipate that the river was
carrying any such amount of water
as it is until they had started out on
their journey through last week. He
the high and low periods of the river
showed that the river SHOULD be low
when they attempted this trip, but
instead according to measurements
had nearly 1000 cubic feet per second
instead of a few hundred feet, based
on years previous.
Kolb Bros. live at Grand Canon.
Arizona, and do not represent any film

wooden boats instead of canvas and
be ready to make another attempt as
stated, about the first of September.

Only 5 SHIPS SUNK
IN RAID IS BELIEF
Name "KingstOnian" May Have
Been MlSread.

NEWPORT, R. |. No survi-
vors of the steamship Kingstonian,
which was torpedoed off Nantucket
Shoals Sunday night, have been found
All but one of the fotilla of destroy
ers which had been sent out from
Newport to search for survivors are
at anchor here. A forty-nine north
easter and dark, cold weather have
made further search for the missing
men practically impossible. Little
hope is held that any Of the crew who
might still be riding the waves in
open boats will survive the weather
A more hopeful suggestion, made in
some quarters, is that only five ships
were sunk in the German submarine
raid.
Thirty-3iX hours having elapsed
since the Kingstonian was supposed
to have been sunk without any trace
of her crew, steamship men were in
clined to believe the name of the yes
sci may have been misread by wire
less operators, and that no such yes
sci as the King5tonian was attacked.

almost Immediately after the ex-

the forehoIds were soon awash above
the level of the upper troop deck. The
troops on board, the 21st Battalion
and one company of the 23rd Batta-
lion, Australian Imperial Forces,
were just about to parade. y They fell
in just as for ordinary drill, and
awaited for orders to be passed from
the boat decks for the required num-
bers to- be sent up, without any sign
of anxiety TO get an early place. A
large number of the troops had to
stand for nearly two hours on the
enclosed promenade deck of what
during the first 80 or 40 minutes was
believed to be a, sinking ship. The
first boats on the davits were lowered
quickly and successfully, but a con-
siderable delay took place before the
boats on board could be got to the
davits and lowered, with the assist
ance of the troops. Two boat-loads,
with Colonel Linton and six of the
Infantry Brigade Staff, were capsiz-
