COLU M B US
First Pioneer His is The Spirit That Has
Made America.

By JOAQUIN MILLER

Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores
Before him only shoreless seas
The good mate said: "Now must we pray,
For 10! the very stars gone.
Brave Admir-, speak; what shall 1 say?"
why say: Sail on, sail on; and on!'
"My men grow mutinous day by day;
My grow CHASTITY wan and weak" A
The stout mate. thought of home; a spray
Of salt washed his swarthy cheek
What shall l say, brave Adm'r'l, say,
If sight naught but seas at dawn%
"Why, you shall say, at break of day:
Sail on sail on sail on and on'"
They sailed and sailed winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said
why, now not even God would know
Should 1 and all my fall dead.
These very winds forget the way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"
He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on"
They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:
"This mad sea shows his teeth tonight
He curs his lips, he lies in wait,
With lifted teeth, if to bite;
Brave Adm'rl, say but good word;
What shall do when hope is gomez"
The words leapt leaping sword
"Sail on! sail on! sail on and on!"
Then, pale and worn, he paced his deck
And peered through darkness Ah that night
Of all dark nights! and then speck-
A light! a light! light
1t grew a starlit flag unfurled!
1t grew to be Times burst of dawn.
He gained world; he gave that world
It's greatest lesson: "On! sail on"

Crop In Snowflake Section
Almost Complete Failure

The potato crop in this section
has been an almost total failure
this year and will not bring in an
average Of over ten per cent nor
NAL yield.
The acreage is much less than
last year, however, and is very
fortunate fact considering the poor
crop.
1t is said that the dry spell here
this summer is the cause and the
heavy rains this fall made the po-
tatoes chain out instead of growing
normal.-Snowfake Herald

Tobacco May Now Be
Sold in Snowflake

At a recent meeting of the city
council of Snowflake, the ordinance
providing for a license of $100 per
quarter on the sale of tobacco, was
repealed:
The repeating of the ordinance
was the outgrowth of a petition
signed by almost every business
man and woman in town.
People bought their tobacco in
other towns and this took much
trade away from Snowflake. The
crusade against tobacco was fail

NEW SURVEY
IS COMPLETE
FOR HIGHWAY
7 0 CANYON

lu6 survey VI LlAO AcbNNOS A~k9AA w ~
from Grand Canyon to connect with
the National Old Trails has been
completed. Government engineers
have been at work on the survey
for several months, but announce
ment as to the location of the new
road was not made until last week.
The new highway will connect
with the Old Trails at a point two
miles east of Williams. The build
ing of the new road, when funds
become available, will probably
mean the abandonment of the
Maine-Grand Canyon and Williams
Grand Canyon routes.
The engineering party spent two
months in completing the survey.
They were under instructions from
the United States Bureau of Roads
to survey route as nearly as
practicable, directly south from the
park headquarters at the canyon.
They accordingly established a
point near the Ell Tovar and then
proceeded almost due south to the
Old Trails route. The survey does
not follow either the Maine-Grand
Canyon or the Williams-Brand Can
yon road in any part of it's course.
1t does cross one or the other of
the roads, however, at several
points along it's course. The south
erly part of the survey passes just
east of Howard Lake, crosses Red
Lake valley and poins the Old
Trails route about two miles and
a half east of the central part of
Williams. The junction with the
Old Trails route occurs on the land
owned by the Saginaw and Manis-
tee Lumber company.
The meeting of national park Of
ficials recently held at Grand Can
yon, approved the survey, then
practically completed and will urge
congressional appropriation to fl
nance it's construction. The park
service has further included a sum
in its budget sufficient to cover the
construction of the road from the
park headquarters to the south
boundary of the park.
Chief Engineer Evans and Engin-
eer Rogers appeared before the
Flagstaff Chamber Of Commerce
and informed them of the routing
of the survey and explained how
the new road would be just little
over 81 miles long. The distance
from Flagstaff to the canyon by
way of the new route would be
practically the same as by the
present Maine-Grand Canyon road.
The Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce passed resolution urging
Congressman Hayden and Senators
Cameron and Ashurst to support an
appropriation for this road. Like
action is expected from the Will
liams-Grand Canyon Chamber of
Commerce at their next meeting.
While no appropriation is avail
able at the present time for the
construction of the canyon road, it
is expected that favorable action
will be taken by congress at it's
next session.
The expense of the recent sur
vey was taken care of in an allot-
ment made last winter by agree
ment between the bureau of pub
lie roads, the forest service and
the state highway engineer.
1t is estimated that the cost will
be around 100000 for a modern
surfaced highway The forest SER
vice authorities say that they will
not have money available for the
new highway for good many
years at the best. The chairman
of the congressional appropriations
committee, Louis G. Cramton of
Michigan, is believed to be strong
ly against any special government
appropriation for the new road.

President Coolidge by the people of

SHIP BOARD MOVE
|RKS PRESIDENT
Opposes Stripping Palmer of
Power, But Is Silent on
New Steps.

President Coolidge has let it be
known that he thinks the Shipping
Board acted unwisely in relieving Ad-
miral Palmer, president of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, of his powers
in administering the affairs of the
merchant marine and the sale of ships,
but there is nothing to indicate that
he is contemplating a new move as the
result of this unexpected action by the
board.
The President contends that the
operation of the fleet should be in the
hands of one person and not a board
of seven members. While he does not
profess to be an expert on shipping
matters, he has closely studied the
problems of the Shipping Board and
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, and
he is convinced that the former
should not attempt to function in an
administrative and executive capac-
ity, but only as a semi judicial and
regulatory agency. The President is
represented as pointing out that he
is not alone in this opinion. Besides
Senators and Representatives who
have discussed the matter with him,
his advisers have been practically
unanimous in this belief.
1t is explained that Senator Jones
of Washington, author of the present
merchant marine act, Is prominent
among those who have advised the
President. Others are Secretaries
Mellon, Weeks Wilbur and Hoover
and Chairman O'Connor Of the Ship
ping Board and Admiral Palmer of
the Emergency Fleet.
President Coolidge selected H. G.
Dalton Of Cleveland to conduct sur
vey of the merchant marine situa-
ton in the belief that. coming as he
does from the Great Lakes region,
he is neutral and his recommenda-
tions should carry weight
The President Is still Of the opinion
that Commissioner Haney of Oregon,
who has led a fight to oust Mr. Pal.
mer, should realize the improperly
of remaining on the board after his
resignation had been requested by
the Executive, but Mr.. Coolidge has
received no indication that he will
retire and there was nothing to in.
dicate that the President contem
plates action regarding him.

COURT TO DECIDE
LANSD0WNE BLAME
Determination to Fix Re-
sponsibi|ity Delays Removal
of Inquiry Here.
By the Associated Press.

LAkEHURST. n. j.. October 8
The Shenandoah naval court of in
quiry is to give immediate attention
to the question of whether blame at
taches to Comdr. Zachary Lansdowne.
captain of the airship, for the dis
aSter which cost his own life and
that of 13 other officers and men.
This was decided upon at an infor-
NAL overnight conference between the
court and Judge Advocate Foley. The
prosecution of this phase of the in
quiry at this time will delay at least
until Monday the winding up of the
hearing here and the removal of the
court to Washington.
An opinion that a primary cause of
the wrecking of the Shenandoah was
the failure of the officers in charge
to observe obvious danger signals has
been given to the court by Capt. An
ton Heinen. former German Zeppe-
lin pilot Since he is regarded in
Navy airship circles as one Of the
abest dirigible pilots, of the day.
weight naturally attaches to his opin-
ion.
Then. too his theory finds some in
direct support in the testimony of
Lieut.. Joseph B. Anderson. aerologist
on the Shenand that when he saw
storm clouds moving in the opposite
direction to the wind which the air.
ship was bucking, he advised a change
of course to the south and Comdr.
Lansdowne ignored that advice.
Sure Sign of Danger.
Referring to this testimony. Capt.
Heinen said that this movement of
the clouds was one of the surest sig
nails of danger, and had he been in
command he Immediately would have
changed his course.
There was another danger signal.
Capt. Heinen said, that of the drift
of the ship to the right, indicating
that she was being slowly drawn into
the disturbance in which she was
wrecked.
Both Capt. Heinen and Lieut.. Ar
derson were recalled today for veri-
fication of their previous testimony
and for further questioning on these
matters. There is the probability that
other witnesses also will be called on
this phase of the inquiry.
Since the first examination OF
Capt. Heinen was completed Thurs
day the court has gone more ex-
haustively into his theory that the
reduction of the safety valves and
the helium gas cells from 1S to con-
tributed to the breaking up of the
ship. Some of the experts called here
offered their conclusions that it had
not.
1t is now clearly established in the
records that this alteration of the
gas valve system was initiated by the
officers of the ship who were in ac-
cord as to It's desirability, and that
it was authorized by the Navy De-
partme, t only by way of experiment
and witty two warnings that it i'm
posed an added reason for the eau
tious handling OF the Shenandoah at
high attitudes.

was on week end rest after raging
at tempestuous heights throughout the

The Air Board will resume it exam

Study Probe Testimony.
Paralleling the resumption of the
disciplinary measures against Col
Mitchell, the War Department is be-
ginning work on testimony taken by
the Air Board with a view to segre-
eating specific charges made against
present air administration policies in
the department and determining the
extent to which complaints of Army
aviators can be corrected without new
legislation. Acting Secretary Davis Is
planning to give his personal atten-
ton to this phase of the controversy.
Many Of the grievances laid before
the board by it's Army witnesses, such
as poor housing at airf1elds, the desire
for single list promotion and the
amount Of air equipment now avail

partment can correct until there have
been changes in law or until addi-

believes, however, that no time should

can be classified properly and dealt
with accordingly.
