BLACK CANYON WRECKS
 KOLb'S EXPEDITION
Three Days of Frightful l Ad venture And The Gun nison Whirlpool Blocked The Way

News readers were interested in Bertha Metzger's story July 27, of the proposed expedition of Els. worth Kolb and his three compan- ions down the Black Canyon of the Gunnison for the purpose of gathering engineering data for the Denver and Rio Grande railroad and to add more pictures. to the collection of the Kolb Brothers. The sequel to that story may now be told since the expedition has been completely wrecked in the attempt to make the passage thru the canyon.
 On Wednesday July 26 the four men of the party launched their two boats and life raft just above the mouth of the Cimarron river. The mad waters of the Gunnison soon tore to pieces one boat and the raft. The plans of the party were rearranged and another start was made on Friday The single boat was let down the river with tow lines. The men frequently dragged into the turbulent wa CTS, but by helping each other and swimming a good deal, six miles were made. Sore and still weary the trip was resumed the following day, but the utmost endeavors of the party could only accomplish one mile of the perilous passage. Again the journey was taken up and the men fought the raging torrent, sometimes in the water and sometimes clinging to the walls of the canyon. The days fearful exertiops netted the party five miles-but they were the last. They were now down to the furious whirlpool of the Gunnison which none may pass and live. Again and again on the following day they essayed to make progress, only to be thrown back with great violence by the swirling waters. Night found them at the mornings starting point, sore, beaten and dis couraged.
 The situation was thoroughly studied in the morning. To go forward was impossible and to go back was equally impossible There was only one way to escape and that was to climb 5, 500 feet oi nearly perpendicular precipice This they did and they are alive tc tell their wonderful tale of adven- ture and make plans for another attempt to go down Black Canyon when the water is at low stage.

WANTED "A DEMO-
 CRATIC CANDIDATE

Two republicans of Coconino County have announced their can didacy for the republican nomin- ation for the office of representative in the legislature. Are Coconino's democrats going to let this office go by default? Surely Williams can find a democrate who would fill this office satisfactorily and who would accept the nomination, were his friends to urge him to do so. No time should be lost in moving in the matter. The time limit will soon expire.
