THE WHITE HOUSE.

THE home of the president of the
United States, generally known as
the White House, first became known
as such when it was painted white to
cover the marks of fire after being
partially burned by the British in 1914.
The foundation of this world-famous
structure was put down in October,
1892. 1t was the first building erected
In Washington. The site was picked
by President George Washington, who
also laid the corner stone.
The building was first occupied by
President John Adams, during the
summer of 1900. 1t is two stories and
basement, and contains 81 rooms. 1t
Is surrounded by spacious lawn and
gardens, which are incloSed by a huge
sron fence. Whether viewed through
the heavy foliage of the giant trees
or across winters mantle of snow, it
always looks restful and dignified.
The White House naturally has been
the scene of many tragedies and come
dies, much joy, and also has had its
share of anxiety and grief. 1t holds
peculiar interest for the people of
all nations, those of the United States
In particular, 1t is a point of pill

YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

This beautiful valley-now part Of
Yosemite National park, by the
WAYS one of natures most wonder
full works of art. The valley is only
eight miles long and less than two
miles wide. The park embraces a do
main about &c by 4S miles. Here the
supreme artist has chiseled and etched
and painted an outdoor gallery of mas
terpieces unlike any other in the world
The Indians termed the place the
Heart of the Sky Mountains and called
It THE Vale of the Advance" and
themselves Ahwaneeches, or children

The eXcelling features of the Yo-
semitic are its Waterfalls and sheer
bold cliffs. Snow-waters from high
mountains have found a wonderful
variety and beauty of courses down
the mountain walls to the MERGED river
In the valley below. These peculiar
peaks strikingly resemble huge domes
and range in height all the way from
200 to 5000 feet. The falls which
descend their rugged sides range in
height from $50 feet-Vernal falls,
which is only 50 feet wide at the top
to beautiful Yosemite falls. which, in
three leaps. pungeS half mile and is
said to be the highest waterfall in the
world with anything like the same
volume of water.
Standing On the summit of Sentinel
Dome, the magnifcence of the vista
of the valley that bursts upon the eye
rompels silence. Perhaps no valley in
the world combines so much that is so
sublimeiy beautiful. 1t is "a bite of
Paradise" sure enough.

Abiding in his sermon to the religious

there were possibilities here that could
be made into Il splendid showing for
the cause of righteousness and Cody

the great curse of humanity Taking

The Wonders
of America
By T. T. MAXEY
MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK.

IN 1883 there was discovered in
L Montezuma county, southwestern
Colorado, the greatest prehistoric ruins
In this country. A thorough eXamina-
ton of the canyon of the MancOs
river disclosed the fact that 1t con-
tanned extensive examples of the mys-
tarious remains of an extinct race.
Uncle Sam decided to preserve and set
aside nearly 10000 acres as a national
park-Mesa Spanish for high table
land) and Verda (meaning green, from
the cedar trees)./
Many narrow canyons with high,
sheer walls open into the valley. In
their sides are many of the best-pre-
served specimens of cliff dwellings
known. A large human population
lived in these cave-huts Oh the sides
of these sandstone cliffs. They be-
tieved that they were dependent upon
the gods to make the rainfall so their
crops would grow and worshiped the
sun as the father of all and the earth
as the mother who brought all material
blessings. Apparently they possessed
no written language and recorded their
thoughts only by means of symbols.
Cliff Palace, the largest dwelling-a
community house-had over 200 dwell
ing rooms. in addition to many sacred
rooms called kivas. Sun Temple, q
mysterious ruin, shaped like letter
D, is over 100 feet long end Ga feet
wide.
AS the population of this community
increased the floor of the caves was
covered with rooms, and finally they
emerged from the caves altogether and
builded pueblos on top of the mesas
In the open country.
A visit to these ruins is much like
going back into another world.

CANDIDATES OUT FOR
c.. n. S. FOOTBALL TEAM.

The boys of the local High school
have real football fever this fall and
at the present outlook there will be
over fifty candidates for the team
At present it is not known who will
coach the team.
AS Mr.. Burns is now principal it is
not known whether his other school
duties will keep him from resuming
the coach's position.
1t has been rumored that Prof
Quill and Preston will take care of the
team as these men have both played
football while at college. They should
fit the bill nicely
But still another rumOr is that
Francke and Rollins both graduates
of the local High school and who have
played on CliffSide elevenS and who
also played on the Rutgers varsity
eleven while at that college will take
the coaching reins in their hands.
Those who played on the football
team last year and who will go out for
it this year are Madden (Capt) Stien,
Carpenter, MazZei, Smith and Weik-
sner, while Greenly and Hirly, the
former a senior and the latter Junior,
both new at the school have played on
the teams at the schools where they
came from.

THE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA.

THE late George Fitch said ARIZONA
/ was made by nature In frivolous
and contradictory mood, few million
years ago, just to show man, when he
arrived what she could do when she
felt like it,"
The Grand Canyon Of the Colorado
River-the most wonderful geological
and spectacular phenomenon known to
man-is in Arizona. Discovered by
Spanish explorers in 1910. it has been
an object of wonder and admiration
ever since. In approaching it your
first surprise is that you are not pre-
pared for it. It's beginning is so very
abrupt. In one jump from the edge
you could go down 1000 feet.
Viewed from the rim, looking down
1t Is stupendOuS panorama-an unbe-
lievable abyss, 5000 to 5000 feet deep,
10 to 13 miles wide and 200 miles long
It's sides are lined with countless and
varied ornamental architectural fea-
lures, the whole beautifully tinted and
colored and marvelously harmonious.
Seen from the bottom, looking up, 1t
is so big that it amazes and bewilders
one On every side are endless pro-
cessions of caves, terraces, pinnacles,
towers, buttes, cliffs and peaks-storm-
carved and ather-stained-many of
them higher than any mountain east
of the Rockies, yet none of them level
with the top. Globe rioters say that
nothing else in all the world even re-
motley approaches this spectacle

shift with every movement of the sun,
clouds or your position. There is a
trail to the bottom and road around

UTAH-"THE PROMISED LAND

T. IRST settled in the summer of 1847
by Brigham Young and his little
band of Mormons, numbering less than
$50 souls, Utah is fast coming into its
own. Utah is 100000 acres larger
than all of the New England states
combined, and there isn't much, IT,
indeed, there is anything-within rea-
son-that the imagination of man can
conceive or his heart wish for that the
state does not yield or cannot offer.
"Tis said that Utah contains enough
iron ore to rebuild most of the steel
structures in the country; sufficient
black marble to build a column from
the earth to the moon; salt enough to
supply the world for 60 years; the
greatest copper mine in all the world !;
enough coal to supply her population
| for 10000 years; clay and sand enough
| to make the worlds supply of brick fol
many years; 4,000.000000 feet of lum
Der and sandstone and granite in
! quantities equal to the rebuilding of
the majority of the buildings in the
United States.
Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
to the value of $97 100000 were mined
in Utah during one recent year. Good
ly quantities of agricultural products
and fruit are also produced.
Utahs climate Is neither hot cold,
dry or wet, but rather happy medium
with touch of salt air added for good
measure. Her fertile valleys remind
one of Italy, her pointed mountains
hold touch of Alpine beauty and
great painters say that her sunsets are
the most beautiful in the world.
