Boost your city, boost your friends;
Boost the church that you attend.
Boost the street on which YOU are

Boost the goods that you are selling.
Boost the people round about you,

Cease to be chronic knocker.
Cease to be progress blocker.

d. C.. Engineers in Frail Boat
Surrey Noted Big Horn Canon

Two hydraulic engineers Of the
geological survey. both Washington
men. have completed one of the most
hazardous assignments in thetecords
of the service-a journey in a frail
boat over the rapids of the Big Horn
canyon in Wyoming and Montana In
an effort to survey the power re-
sources of the river.
Benjamin E. Jones and David j.
Guy, from the Washington Office, were
accompanied in the undertaking by
Montana engineers. The legend of
the canyon Is that 1t was previously
navigated on log by a soldier of
Clusters troops In his effort to escape
from the Indians. The canyon lies in
a huge fold OF the rock beds that form
the north end of the Big Horn noun
tains. Through this fold the river
has cut its winding way in a deep.
narrow gorge, fifty miles long. which
begins eight miles south of the
Montana Wyoming boundary.
Channel Described as Tortuous.
The channel Is tortuous. The trav-
eler Jones and Guy report, can see
only few feet ahead. The bottom

the river, from which bars walls of
rock rise on both sides to a distance
Of 1000 feet in many places. The
traveller can find his way out only by
going with the current to meet what
ever peril may await him around the
next bend. The matter of first con-
Germ Is the rapids. which can be
heard before they are seen. In These
rapids the water surges over and
around huge boulders which have
dropped from the cliffs above.
The surface of the rock is wealth :
cred and cracked. with here and
there a huge pine clinging precari-
ously from the edge of the cliff. The
overpowering impression the traveller
gains, Jones reports, is that of the
nearness of these mountains Of rocks
which rise up beside him SO close.
The two engineers crept along in
their boat between the cliffs. lodging
rocks and edging around rapids.
Report Result Of Survey.
AS a result of the trip the engineers
reported that if the Big Horn river
could be damned at this point 1t
would produce force of "a 800 horse
power continuously. and that water
could be carried from canals sufficient
to irrigate $4,000 acres of bench land

BOY SCOUTS FIND LOST
INDIAN CAMP AT YONkERS
Death Of Woodchuck Reveals
800 Year-0I Secret

New York.--Arctomys Monax was a
forest woodchuck, lean and thin as the
woodland law says one should be-
Last July he mysteriously disappeared
from Rocky Lonesome Forest, Yonk-
ers, where he and his ancestors had
been curators or keepers of the secret
location Of the lost Indian village site
of Armeperahin.
The Museum of Natural History
troop Of boy scouts, with cabin near,
interested In archaeology, never dis
covered the site. When any Of them
approached it was Mr. Monax's duty
to scurry squealing from the knoll in
the black dirt of which were the
relics, arrowheads, worked stones, ETC.,
noisily down through underbrush to q
thicket and into his hole. He never
failed to decoy invaders away from
the secret.
For $50 years the Monax family had
kept the secret Even Bottoms his
tory does not AK the location of Ar
meperahin. though it tells how Direc-
tor Kieft of Fort Amsterdam sent En-
sign Hendricks Van Dyck with sol
diers In March, 1913, to wipe out the
WeckQuaeskeck at Dobbs Ferry. De-
ceived by an Indian guide he reached
the vicinity of Armeperahin, lost his
way in Rocky Lonesome, and returned
to Manhattan without firing a shot.
The Indians deserted Armeperahin,
leaving the woodchuck In charge.
Arctomys. short legs, grizzly yellow
gray coat, and black gloves on four
feet, was a faithful curator until he
discovered that bread and other waste
food purloined from the scout camp
was good. Then like Adam in Eden
he grew fat and slothful. BE disap-
peared, to the sorrow Of the scouts to
whom he represented the wild animals
once In the Sprain woods. They hunt
ed vainly, and broke camp.
Recently the Appalachian Mountain
clubs New York chapter, following
Van Dyck's war trail in the rock fast
nesses, solved the mystery by finding
under sere brakes beside rabbit path
q pathetic little heap Of bones, all
that was left of Mr.. Monax. Grown
fat against wilderness law, apoplexy
overlook him. The door Of his hole
closed with golden leaves, no scurry-
ing decoy to lead them away, the Ap-
paiachian folk went up the knoll where
q quick eye detected stone-pecking
implement, and the secret of 280 years
was out. And now, maybe, the
Museum Of the American Indian,
Heye Foundation, will excavate there,
and all because Mr.. Monax ate forbid.

EtAA@lAyl deal that had just fallen
through, and blaming his
partner for it. Indeed, he had only
a minute ago parted from his partner
with scornful words. And the part
ner, who was younger man, had said
nothing. He, too, had felt that the
blame was all his, and he was ashamed
and grieved. But harder than hav-
ing lost the business for the firm,
that young man found 1t to have lost
the good will and respect of his senior
partner, whom he admired, even re-
yered.
The angry man was suddenly called
from his unpleasant thoughts by lit
tie newsboy thrusting paper under
his nose "All about the murder, the
big Riverside murder!" he intoned
through his little nose. "Paper, sir?"

growled, absent-mindedly
But the newsboy was not taken
aback. He grinned up into the cloud
ed face and drawled: Jaw, sir, let
yourself have a Happy New Year"
The man walked another block be-
fore the words reached his conscious
ness, so absorbed had he been In his
anger. But then they came clear and
calm-"Let yourself have a Happy
New Year"
How foolish would be the man who
wouldn't let himself have a Happy
New Yearl Bad business that of
turning happiness away from you.
Nobody, nothing could give you a
Happy New Year, of course, unless you
let yourself have 1t. Funny thought.
But stop. Wasn't that exactly what
he was doing now. not letting himself
have Happy New Year? Bad bust
ness that; worse than that bad busi-
ness his young partner had just fallen
into.
Suddenly he stopped, whirled about
and retraeed his steps. 'Im not go
ing to cut myself out of Happy New
Year just to indulge myself in little
poisonous anger" he cried to himself.
"I'll just hurry back to the Office and
invite that young man to lunch with
me. We've always been good pals till
now"
And he did hurry to catch his part
ner before he, too, left the Office. But
he did not hurry so much that he could
not stop at the corner and buy the
few remaining papers from the inso-
lent little newsboy there, though it
goes without saying he hadn't time to
stop for the change.

seldom lasts beyond the FIRST week In
January.
In the first place, most Of our res
olutions are not resolutions at all.
They are merely idle, sentimental
wishes. And wishing is long way
from willing. The man who wishes to
be or to do a certain thing looks to
time and circumstance to help him
out The man who Wills to be or do
certain thing, gets up and goes to
it regardless. The man who wishes is
generally long on prayer. The man
who wills puts up fight as well as
a prayer.

Another reason why our resolutions
amount to little is because they are

ago. He has stood true. 1t may be
a psychological trick, but it Is good
one to put the thing you want to over
come behind you rather than in front
of you.
Another weakness in New Years
resolutions is that as a rule they are
not backed up by plan. AS mat
ter Of fact, it would be great deal
better to quit the business Of making
a resolution for the New Year and
instead make plan for the New Year.
Frame up a reasonable program that
leads toward the thing you want to be
or do. No one ever arrives at his goal
In one leap. That's the weakness and
deception In so many resolutions.
Don't try to make 1t from the valley

Jump. Look up the slope and fix your
course as far as you can see. The
higher you get the farther you win be
able to see and the faster you viii be
able to go. You gain strength in
climbing.
If you take tumble, keep your eye
on the top, pick yourself up, and go
on. Hold to the main plan. and don't
bite off more of 1t at a time than you
can chew. As long as you keep going
you're a winner, no matter how long
1t takes you to get there.
