Observation-Disclosures lava
pinnaeles rising sheer out of the
channel, radio troubles and a labor
strike, were some of the trial and
trlbulatlons besetting the Geologi-
cal Survey party which recently
mapped the last stretch of the can
yon OF the Colorado. In his re-
port on the trip, C. H. Birdseye
who headed the expedition, recorded
that in the 450-mile journey en-
counters with cataracts which had
struck fear into the hearts of
other hardy adventures and sight
seers became daily incidents.
The stretch of the Colorado river.
from Lees Ferry, Arizona, to
Needles, California, was the last
that had not been accurately sur
yeyed for mapping, and the pur-
pose of the hazardous expedition
was to locate possible dam sites

opment and irrigation. 1t was this
hrty that was reported lost early
asst October, when a half wrecked
BOAT was discovered that was
thought to belong to them. How
ever, the ten men accomplished the
feat with one broken rib the only
casualty, and with the loss of only
a small canoe.
The first task encountered by the
engineers was that of trucking a
l6-foot boat down a narrow trail
blasted in the side of the Canyon,
near Lees Ferry. This boat was
taken by auto lao miles, from Flag
staff, Arizona, the nearest railroad
station.
The four boats used were Is
footers, decked over at both ends
With water tight matches and metal
compartments for buoyancy and for
keeping instruments and supplies

nap that only the oars, oarlocks

"Out of the total ballots, the Re-

with 14,716,' the announcement
says.
Zone of the interesting things
about this poll is that Good House
keeping Magazine is non-partisan.
The poll made no party distinctions,
and no effort was made to recon-
mend any candidate. The straw
vote really shows the independent
choice Of the women. On the
other hand, the straw vote also
shows that the woman voter wants
to play safe by choosing a man al
ready known to EN-. Y. Times.

kiwanis Haue Banquet
At The Parker House

Those who have for some time past
been at work to place a Kiwanis Club
in our city, met last night for pur-
pcse of permanent organization. The
meeting took place at the Parker
House where an elaborate dinner was
served. j. L. Bowles, District Field
man, has been at work in our midst
for several days, and has done good
work along the line of membership.
Members of Kiwanis from Newport
News, Seaford, and Wilmington, were
expected to be present, large turn
out of local men was anticipated.
Kiwanis has for its ends and aims
those similar to Rotary, and the two
should be powerful influences in build
ing up the town along all lines of civic
endeavor. The only difference being
that the latter is somewhat more ex-
elusive in it's classification. There
should, however, be no clash of effort,
no rivalry except as to which can best
accomplish good, and no animosity.
Pocomoke City is fortunate in having
these two Iternationals, and should
grow abundantly under their minis
trations.

Charley Foley, absent for many
years, has been visiting friends in this
CITY for the last week or ten days. It
kae been many years since he left,
and no doubt he sees many changes
in his old home and in those with
y. hem he associated. He is fortunate,
however, in finding still hale and
hearty his best beloved friend and
chum, "Buck" Waters, and from all
appearances, the two have enjoyed to
the full this reunion, and have review
ed, over and over again the days of
leng ago.
"Charley" is now living in New
London, Conn.,, and is looking well
and prosperous. All his friends were
glad to shake his hand, and hope his
visits to his quondam haunts will now
be more frequent as result of the
pleasant days spent during this trip.
