Mrs. Charlotte Cameron, Noted Explorer, Ranks Grand Canyon And The Apache Trail Among Worlds Most Beautiful Spots

The Grand Canyon of Arizona Mrs. | Cameron holds to be the most wonder | full example of natures handiwork to be found in any land, and she has vis- ited practically every beauty spot known to man. The Apache Trail. from the Roosevelt dam to the foot of the Superstition mountains, she be- lieves is an unparalleled example of mans craftiness, with a splendor of natures coloring as a background equaled only in the rainbow haze of the Grand Canyon.
 Don't miss the Apache Trail of Ari- zona; it's one of the scenic wonders of the world and trip you cannot af- ford to miss" Mrs. Cameron wired back to the British press at London, as a result of her visit over the trail yesterday. Not even the rotton condi- ton of the road could. rob the trip of its grandeur and beauty" she said.
 The Valley of the Salt she likened to the Valley of the Nile, where mans handiwork aided nature in giving to man the fertility of the soil, even as it did there.
 Impressed with Valley
 Your farming community is really wonderful" she said. 'Tt reminds me so much of the rich lands flanking the Nile where the British harnessed the waters of Assouan, Egypt, even as did your own country at Roosevelt. The mighty power of the dam speaks vol umes for the ingenuity of your nation. The supposedly wonderful production in Egypt, where four crops of alfalfa are taken each year, is surpassed in your own valley. It's wonderful al- most unbelievable" she exclaimed with fervor
 Mrs Cameron has only recently re- -I.., many months. II. her journey through the land of the midnight sum- she covered more than 10000 miles. in cluding a trip the entire length of the Yukon.
 Your Alaska holds all of the scenic grandeur of the Alps" she said. T cannot possibly see why Americans should use the far away European Alps when all the scenic beauty of the Alps is to be found so much closer home and in one of your own territorial holdings"
 As a result of this trip, she has re- gently published a book entitled "The 1 Yukon and Alaska" a copy of which | Queen, who sent a letter of approval in reply. The book is profusely H. frustrated with photographs.
