/. BOATING ACROSS CONTINENT

Train journeys across the United States an
old story Motor tours from to growing
commonplace Flying is losing its novelty.
But here is something and appealing.
Two young men, John Hoag and Frank Wilton,
have crossed the contnen IN IS foot boat with out
board motor, from Oregono New York, trip of
ly 5000 miles, taking little four months.
1t is simpler than most travellers would suppose.
The entire trip required only portage of 4OO miles
over the continental divide They really could not
sail over the Rockies.
After shipping their craft from the upper Co.
umba, in eastern Washington, Fort Benton, Mont,
they had fairly easy going down the long stretches of
the Missouri river 2280 miles to st. Louis thence up
the Mississippi to the Illinois river from which they
reached Lake Michigan via the Chicago drainage
canal Thence they followed the Great Lakes and st.
Lawrence to Montreal where they turned south
through the Richelieu river and Lake George and the
Delaware and Hudson canal to the Hudson and so by
easy stages to New York city.
Hardships? These pioneer navigators say
They had only one accident worth mentioning, when a
sunken log in the Columbia river ripped out bit of
plankng after their start. They agree it was a
grand voyage, full Of scenery, pleasant assoca-
tions and healthful recreation. And now that they
have bazed the way, it may be necessary place
line of traffic cops our inland waterways.

Another potent argument in favor of high Stor
age dam at Boulder Canyon and all-Amerlcan con-
nectlon at Laguna Dam is found in the fact that I'M
peral Valley ranchers called upon to cope
with large quantity of silt which is being brought
down by the irrigation canals
Ranchers becoming concerned this phase
of agricultural operations particularly those who
planning to plant vegetables alfalfa or barley In
many places the silt has spread fields in thick
crust which it is feared will prevent seeds from sprout
ing.
recent analysis of the water at the Andrade
headgate is reported have revealed Is to II per cent
of silt coming through The significance of that
amount of silt is made apparent by reports of river
engineers that the average content usually runs around
per cent with occasional increase to or cent
The heavy flow of water from the Little Colo
rado and Virgin rivers is given the cause for this
extraordinary quantity of silt Some of it is also
ing from the Gila river below Laguna Dam This
dton, which Of course is only temporary, serves to
call attention to the whole question of silt it con-
the Valley rancher. 1t now is causing delay in
planting lettuce, alfalfa and other crops.
According to authentic reports the average quaint
lty of silt carried by the Colorado river at Yuma
nually is 196, 900 tons. That is tremendous vol
An average of $4,000 cubic yards of silt flow
into the irrigation system of the district each month
What to do with it is of the problems which has to
be settled.
The district is at present spending approximately
million dollars yearly in dredging operations and
dsposng of the silt brought into the system unavoid
ably The cost to ranchers themselves, has been est
mated at million and half annually, through dam
age crops, cleaning of delivery bitches and removal
of silt overflow.
Engineers agree that the high storage dam at
Boulder Canyon will catch the silt Of the Virgin and
Little Colorado river.

THE ART or SILENCE

IN an address deINeIed BY EIbert II. Gary, chair
of the Steel Trust to young people attending d
school, Of commerce, along wh OF the customary
moraizing Of successful business men, are found these
two gems
The most successful in business are those who
have persstenty devoted their personal time and at
tention TO the concentration and improvement Of one
line of activity. In other words Specialized"
THE average man talks too much, especially if he
has good command q language. 1t is we'll to let the
other man talk half the time"
This last statement puts a %reat truth conserva-
lively Judge Gary has arrived al his present position
of wealth emlnence and power very largely by the pro-
of letting the other do about 80 per cent of
the talking, contentng himself for the most part with
courteous yes" or no" He discovered long ago
that the less you talk to the otner fellow the more
time you have think about what he is saying and to
see into, around and through him.

THE SERIOUS SOAP BOX

In the days Of Tom l. Johnson, called best mayor
of the best governed city in The United Staes Cev-
Gland not only encouraged soap bGAng generally, but
went far to build rOstrum its Public Square
where anybody who had idea or thought he had was
welcome to talk any subject under the sun as long
as as anyone would listen to him.
A who has a cigar store opposite this forum
has been watching the speakers gesticuate for 2l
years, He has sean the orators and 60 listeners
bored and drifting IN and out or listeners concentrat
ed cheering but has he observed anv group MAX
ing any perceptibe impression on the life flowing
pIacidly and normally around them. Up to the pre-
sent time he has been sufficiently interested to
cross the street and listen to their utterances He
thinks he will take half a day off sometime and find
out whether any Of them have anything to say.
This would seem 10 be at least a slight indication
Of the degree Of free speech
