CRITICS BELITTLED YANKs

1.-THE experts in doping the
world series outcome in the
1927 classic, particularly
those who had a leaning toward the
National League, rather discounted
the strength Of the Yankees on the
theory that the rest Of the league
was below standard
"New York is a good club. but
not a super-club, as the records
would make one believe. Its great
showing has been made possible by
the weakness of the other clubs"
That was the consensus of the
critics, who favored the chancesi of
the Pirates to beat the Yankees and
sought reason to explain their be-
lief.
The opinion generally held was
that the Pirates had won a pen-z
nant in a league that was far
better balanced than the Ameri-
can.

EAGLE SAND IS
STRUCK IN THE
DRY CREEK AREA

Reports from the Dry Creek oil
field last evening were to the effect
that Eagle sand had been struck at a
depth of 1475 feet and had gone down
10 feet. When the sand was struck a
strong gas pressure of a wet nature
was encountered which necessitated
the drillers pulling their tools and
putting in heavier bits. Tools were
saturated with oil. 1t is understood
that arrangements have been made
to test the gas at laboratories at
Powell, Wyoming, to be made by Mott
Souders of Red Lodge and the Ohio
Oil company chemist.

SOME THEORIES RELATING TO THE
ORIGIN OF THE GRAND CANYON

formed by the north side being pulled
away from the south side by some
unknown force"
A rather persistent theory ascribes
the canyons origin to contraction. All
of the rocks forming the wallis OF the
canyon were at one time very hot.
When this. area was cooling off a
great crack or fissure developed
forming the Grand Canyon This the
ory might be acceptable if the rocks
Of the Grand Canyon were at one
time molten. Since most Of the rocks
are sediments and reveal no evidence
Of having been subjected to heat, the
theory is groundless.
One of the pioneers of this region
accounts for the origin of the Grand
Canyon by the presence at one time
of subterranean river. The river
was flowing underground at approx
rnately its present level. An ever
enlarging cavern was being devel-
oped. Portions of the root were
breaking off and dropping into the
river. Finally the cavern became so
large that the top fell in revealing the
Grand Canyon. This explanation was
undoubtedly passed on to thousands of
pullible persons who visited the can
yon in the early days. Probably the
EXPLANATION is as erroneous as the one
told by another pioneer; the latter re-
peatedly told the public how he spent
many long years in digging IT.
From the numerous theories, it is
seen that many persons are prone to
explain any of the major works OF
nature, especially those on the mag
nitude and scale of the Grand Can
yon, as being made by some cataclysm
or great convulsion OF nature. In
general the element of time is neg
lected in the explanation. Minutes
rather than millions of years are
used as working criterion. No un-
due amount OF violence such as eartn-
quake, volcanism, or flood msIde the
Grand Canyon area untenablet while
the masterpiece was being carved.
EARTHQUAKES undoubtedly occurred at
infrequent intervals during the uplift
Of the region. The same beds of
sedimentary rocks, present on both
sides of the river, appear remarkably
horizontal, dipping very gently to the
southwest about one hundred feet to
the mile.
The accented theory governing the
origin of the Grand Canyon is erosion
in all Of its phases, such as wind, rain,
heat. cold and running water. Other
factors are: time, uplift of the region,
semi ni-aridity Of this area, water COM
ing in a strong volume from a region
of great rainfall, and finally the
course of the river probably being re-
lated to lines Of structure.

U. s. DEPT. AGRICULTURE
BUDGET CHAIRMAN HERE

Guy F. Allen, chairman Of the
budget committee of the u. S. depart
ment Of agriculture and member of
the budget committee of the u. S.
department of the interior, spent a
few days here the first of the week.
District Forester Frank C. Pooler Of
Albuquerque. accompanied him.
Mr. Allen is taking a couple months
in the west getting an insight into the
workings and a cross section of the
bureaus of the department of agri-
culture to be in better position to
make recommendations as TO APP
preparations for various purposes,
such as roads, salaries, fire fighting
and etc.
Supervisor Ed Miller spent two
days with Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Pooler and
his assistant, H. G.. Calkins, making
field trips to the timber sales oper-
ations for a glimpse into the
activities in which the forest service
is engaged.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Pooler left
Wednesday to visit Forest Supervisor
George Kimball of the Tusayan at
Williams. There he expected to meet
G. G. Morrison, head of the bureau of
public roads of Arizona, and go to the
Grand Canyon. They will spend day
or two getting an insight into the
road work done in the park by the
bureau of public roads and a cross
section of the general work done by
the park service.
Messrs Allen, Pooler and Morrison
will probably go from Grand Canyon
to Phoenix, where they will make
then 60 on the Pacific &C coast for r a a
birdseye view of various federal ac-
tivities, largely in the forest service
storing up first hand information on
the ground as to the actual work be-
ing done.

By G. E. STURDEVANT

Upon viewing one of the major
works of nature, such as the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, the question,
How was it formed z" presents it
self to the onlooker. That the human
mind is ever seeking to explain the
seemingly unreal of the realities OF
nature is evidenced by the theories adj
vanced for the presence Of such
mighty chasm. Some Of the theories
show the tendency to explain in some
fantastic manner Such explanations
as a cataclysm or great convulsion OF
nature are generally advanced when
the true explanation is lacking.
One of the oldest theories explain
ing the origin of the Grand Canyon
comes from the Navajo Indians whose
home is on the Painted Desert. Ac-
cording to the Indians, their home at
one time was on the edge of a great
inland sea. During period of great
rainfall and flood, the sea rose to
great heights and finally found an
outlet by cutting itself gigantic
channel extending into the very depths
Of the earth This account parallels
the Biblical account of the flood except
that the Indians carry it still further.
They believe that all OF their ancestors
were swept away in the great flood
that cut the canyon. Tney do not be-
lieve that their ancestors perished,
however, but were turned into fish.
With due respect to their ancestors,
the Indians refuse to eat fish to the
present time, the only exception being
canned salmon when the label is re-
moved.
One of the most common theories
advanced by the tourist is that vol
cano was responsible A volcano sud-
denly burst into eruption and blew the
canyon apart The difficulty in ac-
cepting this explanation is the lack Of
evidence of volcanism playing even a
minor part in its origin.
Another theory quite commonly
suggested is that an earthquake split
the canyon open. A certain religious
sect claims that this took place at the
crucifixion of Christ. Some earth
quakes undoubtedly visited the Grand
Canyon during the uplift of the pla-
teau region. The earthquakes in gen
eral, however, followed the fault or
fracture zones transverse TO rather
than parallel with the river.
A novel explanation was advanced
during the past year for the formation
of the canyon. A party was viewing
the canyon from the south rim. In
looking across to the north rim, jut-
ting temple was sighted that appeared
to fit perfectly in canyon on the
south side. The most natural explain
alton followed: "The canyon was

Warm Weather Comes
Roads, Fishing Good

Summer arrived for the weekend
with all her baggage of sunny skies,
blue skies and balmy zephyrs; last
week old man winter took the hint
and most everyone forgot that he'd
ever been here.
Roads leading out Of Flagstaff are
the finest ever, so say the multitudes
who spun over them Sunday. The
Maine Grand Canyon road is IN ex-
cellent shape.
Many cars from town drove to Pres
cott, Winslow and other cities. Other
cars went to the lakes for the fishing
and boating. Sunburn and broad
grins on the streets Monday morning
gave testimony as to the success OF
the outings.
Many fine strings of fish were
brought in from both Lake Mary and
Mormon Lake. The lakes are at
their highest. Lake Mary Is running
q fine stream over the spillway.
Perhaps the most surprised angler
Of the day was DR.. E. 5. Flett. Doc
was successfully fishing for crop
pies. A little fellow nibbled and found
himself hooked. Doc amused himself Dy
letting the croppie play around. Then
something grabbed the croppie and
started for the middle of the lake.
