races, running east and west along the
southern border of Utah. These have
been carved by erosion out Of the high
err strata of the plateau and rise In
huge steps northward To elevations oI
II 900 feet or more. The southern Dor
der of this district Is marked by an
abrupt descent TO lower country
along 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 py
great lines of fracture or fieXure,
which trend north and south and are
roughly paralleled.
Iona Series OF Canyons.
| The Colorado river crosses the plh-
teau province from northeast to south-
west. 1t has carved a series of can
yons whose total length exceeds oOO
miles. All these canyons are clear
cut deep gashes in nearly level plat
forms and their step-like walls de-
scend abruptly by alterations OF bold
cliffs and narrow lodges. The river
at the bottom carries the drainage
from the whole western front OF the
Rocky mountains in Colorado and
southwestern Wyoming. Because OF
the general impassability and inhospi'
table character Of the bordering deS-
erts, these canyons form u barrier to
human travel more effective than the
Rocky mountains. The Colorado river
is unbridPed for 700 miles, distance
about equal to the distance between
New York and Chicago.
In the high-blocked plateaus 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 traverses the marble plat
form is known as the Marble canyon
being 60 miles in length. The part

Every child who enters is paid ten
cents for the first two hundred flies
he or she brings in and every child
who does not win a prize will be
paid ten cents at the end of the
month, provided he or she brings in
at least one pint of flies. After the
first two hundred flies are brought
in the children are requested to
bring flies only on Wednesday and
Saturday of each week between the
hours of three and four o'clock p.
m. They must not bring less than
half pint,as the flies are measured
instead of counted after the first
two hundred. Miss Edwards will

places of flies. 1t is the wish Of the

contributors are more numerous
than they have been thus far, this
will be impossible. So far the COM

of the distressing situation. How
ever, the harrow and small sweeps
are being used while waiting on the
rain to come. and al the same time
farmers are hoping that the seed
planted may germinate and spring
up in field free from grass. Very
few farmers have completed the ar.
duous task of transplanting their to-
bacco crop, watering theyoung plants
by means of hand labor where the
transplanter is not accessible to the
small farmer. One of them has taken
the precaution to plant his tobacco
field to cotton, and if the rain comes
in time, he will set the same in to-
bacco. If the weed" lives. he will
hoe out the cotton, but if he fails on
the tobacco. he will cultivate the cot
ton. The corn crops in this section
show good stands, clean and flourish.

and as no nitrate of soda was used,

boarded northbound train that was
