adventurers. The main part of their food was hunted by bow and arrow alone, and their only navigation help was in the form of charts.
 Haines, who is writing a series of articles for the Pacific Motor Boat magazine, was enthusiastic about the experiences the party encountered along the trip, and about the cordiality and warm receptions that were rendered them at all their various stops along thee British Columbia and Alaskan coast line.
 They followed the indentations of the coastline all the way up and hit practically all the bays, eapes and rivers that dot it be- tween here and Seattle. A nov ing picture camera was taken along and the party took several side trips back from the coast for pictures of the scenery and game. At Boswell Inlet tramped inland for 150 miles to film the Canadian Rockies and, as well as fine sceenry pictures, they also

took several remarkable close-ups of mountain goat, sheep and grizzly bear. They also took still pictures of two white glacier bear, specimens of which, Haines said, are very rare. There is said to be only two in captivity; one at the zoo in London and one at New York.
 At Queen Charlotte Sound they encountered their first bad wealth CT of the trip, and were forced to buck against a gale for six hours before reaching shelter. In the meantime most of their food, a camera. two bows and several ar LOWS were washed overheard. An other nasty sea was encountered at Dixons Entrance and a hali- but boat stood by to take them aboard. This help was refused, although the larger boat stayed near them until they were safely in Tongass Narrows.
 Haines said he first got the bow and arrow bug" at Baranoi Island six years ago when he shot three large bear there with only this weapon On the way up this trip they were able to kill by archery all the deer they re- 1uired for meat.

SIGNS LOOK GOOD

Imperial Valley residents and other friends of the
SwngJ ohnson bill have much to be encouraged
in the belief that the bill will pass at the coming
sion of Congress following the admission of Senator
King of Utah that such course is to be expected.
The Utah senator has been of the foremost
opponents of the BILL and though still adherng to his
belief that the bill is unwise and unfair of the
states involved, he believes that sort of bill for
developing the Colorado will be passed before Congress
adjourns March 4.
He proposes to introduce several amendments to
the BILL 1t is believed by the strongest supporters
of the bill that changes may have to be made.
They ready to compromise to the fullest extent
consistent with the circumstances and do not take
the stand that the bill it is written must be
forced through
Senator Kings statement comes at time when
the report of the engineering commission appointed to
study the Colorado question has been submitted to the
President According to dispatches the report con-
firms the feasibility of Boulder dam construction,
though differs with the estimate of costs heretofore
given out.
1t is quite likely that engineering estimates will
differ but the fact remains that of the countrys
leading engineers have confirmed the contention of the
project friends that it is feasible
All signs point to successful elimination of the
valley battle in the future. There is every rea
to be optimistic, at the time it should be re-
membered that the fight is not yet will it
be without another struggle similar to the one
last spring.
