PARTY OF TURISTS THROWN
INTO COLORADO RIVER WHILE
CROSSING 1T IN THE GRAND
CANYON

A party of tourists from Minnesota
were thrown into the Colorado river
the other day while crossing it in
the Grand Canyon on a ferry boat.
They lost the two studebaker auto
mobiles in which they were travel
ing and all their equipment. The
party, themselves, had a very mar
row escape from drowning but were
rescued by the heroic efforts of the
ferryman and another companion.
The party consisted of J. ]. Kovarik
apG ]. M. Bruck of Moose Jaw, Sask.,
and six boy scouts of Minneapolis.
The party left Minneapolis several
weeks ago bound for the Grand Can
yon. They approached it from the
north and camped for a couple of
weeks on the north side They then
crossed to the south side and visited
the petrif1ed forest and other points
of interest on the south side They
were returning to the north side by
way of the ferry when a cable sud-
denl broke precipitating the cars in
to the river and very nearly drowning
the occupants The party returned
to Minneapolis by train little the
worse for their experience but minus
their cars and belongings.

five pounds; extra easy, ten pounds
2. Never bring the fish home.

8. Work without photographs

4. Take your wife in your conf

that doesn't succeed try another wife
Fish without a guide. A guides
memory is notoriously exact.
g. Always go to some stream or
lake which no one in your town has
fished. If you don't know of such a
stream or lake invent one.

ry, stick to it.

to those who prophecied Smyrna
would remain a dead city under their
rule. In this the Turks are being as
sisted by generous sprinkling of
Dutch, the oldest of the western col
onies in Smyrna before the fire, and
Italians, a new importation, who are
jealous of French efforts to capture
the trade of the once prosperous COM
munity and principal outlet for the
riches of Asia Minor.
Ten months ago there were 200,-
600 Greeks in Smyrna and another
100000 in the fiourishing hinterland.
Today the only Greeks in Smyrna are
prisoners of war working under the
lash of dark skinned Turkish nom
commissioned officers, and guarded
by Turkish privates with long bayo-
neted rifles. Carrying steel rails with
their bare hands from ships in the
harbor. and clearing debris from the
narrow. winding streets emerging
from the waterfront are their chief
labors. They look cowed and tired.
They work from daybreak until dark
ness and get a small ration of bread,
olives and Turkish coffee. France,
Italy, CZechoslovakia and Bolshevist
Russia maintain energetic consulates
and trade representatives. The en-
tire British colony has deserted the
city.
