GRAND CANYON ANTICS
EXPLAINED BY HAR-
YARD PROF In LECTURE

Precocious rather than venerable
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
teaches by it's construction the age of
the earth, an age in which scores of
millions of years be used rather free
ly, declared DR.. William Morris Davis,
professor emeritus of Harvard and
world noted geographer, in a lecture
on Lessons of the Colorado" given at
Arizona university.
Figuratively tearing the canyon to
pieces and illustrating his lecture with
lantern slides, Prof. Davis showed
that the wearing away of the earth by
the river, immense and beautiful as it
may seem is only the eighth of SER
les of cycles of erosion which to the
earth's surface is but as the tapping
of wave on the beach would be to a
man.
The plateau through which the can
yon cuts, Prof. Davis said, is really
made ground, washed in by an earlier
process of erosion and before this pro-
cess of plateau forming there was a
still earlier tripping down and wash
ing away of mountains which protrud-
ed from the earth Each Of these pro-
cesses took millions of years, and their
time can only be measured to some
degree by the fact that the strata
next to the basic rock on which the
plateau rests, contain fossils of the
earliest form of life.
Prof. Davis showed how the plateau
which was built up is now being
washed away by the Colorado river,
and that eventually the river will cut
hundreds of miles to the north and
south and repeat the processes which
have gone before.
The Grand Canyon stands as a huge
lesson to Prof Davis, a lesson in
earth formation.
Since the canyon was cut, Prof.
Davis said, there have been more re-
cent activities of the earth such as
volcanoes, some within the canyon it.
self which have been shot up from the
earth's center with such force that a
mere three thousand foot chasm like
the canyon has not deflected it from
its aim, showing that although the
canyon is the eighth cycle in a series
of erosions, it is not entirely new for
the volcanoes are probably thousand
years old.
What looks so huge to the human
eye and of such vast work, is only
as thick as an ordinary piece of paper
when compared to the earth's vast
ness, Prof. Davis said.

NEW BOX FACTORY OF
CADY CO. AT McNARY

The new box factory at McNary is
almost finished and we are told that
it will likely be in operation about
December Is. 1t is said the new plant
will produce about two carloads of
box shocks daily though should the
demand greatly increase the machin-
cry can be rearranged to obtain a
much larger product The addition of
the factory will greatly add to the
lumber industry of the district and
add much more business for both the

LOWELL'S VIEWS ON MARS
INDICATED BY OBSERVERS

complete yindication" of the
.farthest flights" of DIR. Percival
Lowell into the realms of complicat-
ed and fine detaiT on the planet Mars
is claimed by George Hall Hamilton,
well known astronomer and Martian
student in letter to the Prescott
Journal Miner from Vaudeville, ia
maica, received recently The recent
close approach of Mars to earth and
its favorable position for telese0pic
study contributed to this result, Mr..
Hamilton says.
The statement is considered note
worthy by reason of the fact that
Hamilton for some years was a mem
Der of the Lowell staff at Flagstaff,
Arizona, and two years ago left to
join the staff of the Harvard college
observatory in the British West Indies
where many views entirely divergent
from those of the Lowell school of
Mars observers have been held. This
divergence has been especially notable
as to the temperature probably pre-
vailing on Mars and to the existence
of much of the so-called "fine detail" !"
1t was argued that much of this detail
depended upon the observer and until
all normal eyes could see it it could
not be said to be proved.
Hamilton is noted for his artistic
drawings and his work with the pen
Gil is regarded as among the best,
comparable only with Lowell, Schia-
parelli, Earl Slipher and Maggini.
During the late summer the obser-
vations on Mars at Lowell observa-
tory and other points stirred great in
terest in astronomy.

PALOMAS CATTLE co.
HAS OVER 2 MILLION
ACRES NOW FENCED

Ed Jones and Roy Prater, who pass
ed through Bisbee Tuesday night with
10 buffalo calves for the Palomas
ranch in Old Mexico, were in the city
again last night on the return trip to
Flagstaff. The Palomas Cattle Co.
has two million, five hundred thou
sand acres of fenced land, the men re-
ported, and are stocking part of the
range with buffalo just as hobby.
Several buffalo bulls will be brought
in from Texas to breed with the
calves shipped in from the Grand
Canyon.
Although the range runs from a
point below Hachita, N. NJ. to within
10 miles of El Paso, the company has
only $4,000 head of cattle on it, Jones
said. Several years ago there were
$4,000 head, but some of them were
shipped to the Grand Canyon range,
and others were killed by revolution
lists. The rebels also slaughtered a
large herd Of deer the company was
protecting. .-Bisbee Daily Review.
