VET CHARTED RIVER BACKS COLO. PLAN

R. L. Dimmick, who is in Franklin, Penn, this week sent the Miner clipping from the Pittsburg Press pie torial section, which carries a photo gravure picture of the Boulder Canyon damsite, and also the street scene in Oatman, which was carried in the special edition of the Miner
 The paper also contained story from Capt. F. M. Bishop, of Salt Lake City, the last survivor of the Powell expedition from Greene river through the Grand Canyon, to the mouth of ! the Virgin, from which we take ex- cerpts:
 Hast survivor of the Powell ex- petitions through the Colorado river canyons, Francis M. Bishop of Salt Lake, is eager to see the seven basin states form a compact for unified use of the stream which he helped map in 1870.
 Such proposal is now before the Colorado river commission, headed by Herbert Hoover, secretary of com merce, looking toward speedy devel- opment of agriculture and power.
 When Major J. w. Powell of the United States geological survey and his party braved the wild river in small boats, it was thought impass- able. Tradition had it run under ground for miles, and the Indians peopled it with grisly phantoms.
 "'These tales,' said Bishop in re- counting his adventures, cost the life of three men in the first party and appalled, even the intrepid Powell.
 "They 1869 party of nine men had. reached the great south bend of the Grand Canyon where the stream ap- parently disappeared into the chasm wall. Powell held a barley, and after calling for volunteers determined to go ahead.
 Three Refused.
 "The Harland brothers and Will liam Bell, trappers, refused the risk, There were hard words, taunts of cowardice and threatened gun play. Only men tested by hard adventure can appreciate the tension of the oc- casion.
 "The boats, provisions and instru- ments were divided and signals ar ranged in case of survival. Powell and his hardies showed off, straight for destruction, it seemed, but the rapids veered sharp from the cliff as he surmised, so that few mo- ments brought them to smooth water again a mile below.
 Signals were fired for days, and attempts made to scale the walls, but to no avail. Powell continued on to the mouth of the Virgin, and thence to Washington overland.
 "Months later he learned that the trio had reached a Shevwitz Indian village where they told of having run the Colorado in "river ponies.' A renegade Colorado buck caused their death in ambuscade when he persuad- ed the Shevwitz that no living creature could negotiate the rapids and that the whites had come to steal their squaws.
 Thus unfounded tradition took it's toll.
 And, similarly, ungrounded fears of water shortage and state jealousies may take their economic toll in de- velopment restrictions if folks of the entire basin don't get together in an equitable Colorado compact"
 Bishop, aged 79, is connected with the Juvenile court of Salt Lake. He ascribes his remarkably physical and mental vigor to untrammeled life in the open, and would like once more to dare the Colorado in a small boat"

 WOUNDED VETERAN
Gives Shelter to EX-Soldier and Wife Without Home

London, Aug. 1o.-Lioyd George. though prime minister, Is one of the most accessible of men. say his aG- mirers, and he will listen to anybody who speaks to him civilly. So will Lord Riddell. and both Of them are kind hearted.
 Samuel Harrington proved both these statements to be true and lherer by found way out of his troubles. He now occupies a cottage near the Walton Heath golf links where he has been given employment as a cad- die.
 Farrineton is an ex-soldier who went through the Boer war and the Great war. too. Owing to his in- ability to find rooms anywhere, he and his wife and two children have been camping out recently on Rel gate heath. ...
 Met On Golf Links.
 A few days ago Lloyd George und Lord Riddell were playing a round or golf on Walton Heath. Earring ton with now or never" feeling, occosted the two players and was given sympathic hearing.
 He told them how for months he had been unable to find home. He had been elected from one place aft. CT another that he had found un3c- cupied and 'commandeered"- tages, sheds, barns, etc.
 Only when he and his family had suffered the rigors of the open air life by day and by night, and he was at his wits end what to do, did he determine, he said, to lay his case in person before the premier.
 When finally Harrington mentioned bis war service and spoke of his four wounds, and, his experiences in the retreat from Mons, his case was won. His luck had turned.
 By post next day he received the key of a small cottage built by Lord Riddell.

U. STUDENTS PORTO RICO SCHOOL
Find Good Openings for Spanish Courses in That Country

San Juain, P. R.. Aug. 1o.-Students from ten or more of the United States have enrolled for the special Spanish course at the University Summer school at Rio Piedras, and Miss Josephine Holt in charge of the school. is more than pleased with the fact that students have been attract ed from such wide territory. Massachusetts, Connecticut Virginia, New York. Alabama, Illinois, Flori- da, Pennsylvania. Kentucky, North Carolina and the District of Colum- bia, are, so far represented in the school, which opened on Monday
 Not Working Language.
 Spanish cannot longer be consid- cred a commercial or bread d-and but ter language. but Is being studied purely for its cultural qualities" said Miss Holt. One of the outstanding features of the course Is that the students attracted by its are interested in the broader study of the language and It's cultural value, and not in ac- quiring 1t for purely commercial purposes. None of the lectures are on commercial subjects"
 
 Some of the best equipped Spanish students and scholars among the public men of Porto Rico are to give special lectures during the course, in addition to the intensive routine study.
 When the Spanish course Is nn- ished Miss Holt will return to her work as supervisor of foreign language instruction in the public schools of Richmond, Va.
 Chances Offered.
 Porto Rico offers all the op- portunities of Spain for the study of Spanish, besides having the advantage of being American territory" said Miss Holt. Teachers and others de- siring to acquire a working knowl- edge of Spanish can study much more cheaply here than in spain."
 The regular normal summer course for teachers which is also being he'd at the university, has attracted far more pupils than can be accommo- dated and more than one thousand students are in actual attendance. Several hundred, mostly teachers, have been refused admittance because of lack of facilities to care for them. Originally a limit of seo was fixed for enrolment, but this has been ex- ceeded

BAR ASSOCIATION
 GIVES OUT ADVICE Would Establish Bureau of
 Standardization

San Francisco. Aug. io.-Estab- lishment of | bureau to further Am erican ideAls and to offset growing tide of anti.Americanism which was declared to be arousing great preju- dice against the courts and the consti- tuition, was recommended to the Am erican. Bar association today by It's committee on American ideals.
 We are convinced that If 1t could be submitted to q vote" the commit tee reported, "a large number of our citizens would vote in favor of abol- ishing the constitution entirely"
 The report also denounced the proposal to clothe legislative bodies with supreme authority. .+
 Have Wrong IdeA.
 Many of our people are convinced that the constitution was intended as an aid to the rich and powerful" the report said that 1t affords unwar- ranted imnunittes to the railroaes and other great corporations and is an instrument of oppression to tho poor.
 They do not know that the con- stitutional limitation invoked by the corporation to protect Its property In time of danger Is exactly the same limitation upon which the widow. the working man and the farmer rely to guard their possessions against wrongful invasion.
 They do not know that no man is 90 poor or 50 obscure that he can not in the hour of threatened in. jury turn to the constitution as his protection against the wrongful acts e the rich and socially prominent.
 Defends Judges.
 Because injunctions are issued in certain cases judges are bitterly criti- cized, when to deny the right of in- Junction would be to violate the oath the judge has taken to administer the low as 1t is. It Is much better for Individuals and for society that wrong should be prevented than to award damages after wrong Is done.
 "Confdence in the courts must be revived. Resistance to authority is resistance, to the will of the people who can have any law they desire, provided they take pains to organize and crystalize public sentiment"
 The proposal by United States senator that legislative bodies be clothed with supreme power can mean nothing less than the destruc- ton of our written constitution" the report said.
 It urged that every newspaper and magazine establish department of American citfzenshin" and that a course in American institutions and ideals be made part of the curriculum in all schools and colleges.
