These were the first real Indians that
we encountered, and as such aroused
considerable interest. The Baikaris
who had come with us from the gov
eminent outpost were quite civilized in
comparison. They spoke Portuguese.
wore clothing and thoroughly under
stood the white mans peculiarities.
These new denizens of the forest were
as primitive as Adam and Eve. They
we're completely naked. The men cut
their hair short like mop, whereas
the women allowed it to grow long
The men were full of laughter and ap-
parently quite at ease. Each carried a
bow five or six feet long and an aSsort-
ment of arrows. The women wore few
articles of adornment, most of them
carried babies, and were decidedly shy.
AS time went on they became more ag-
gressive and inquisitive than the men.
Having absolutely nothing to do, they
hung about watching every move we
made like so many hawks. If a box
was opened they clustered around to
see what mysterious objects were hid
den within. Joao Climaco was little
irritable as result of their attentions.
A constant guard had to be kept on the
baggage and a barricade made around
the cooks quarters to prevent inter-
ference with the culinary preparations.
There was no such thing as privacy.
A shirt could not be changed or pair
of trousers taken off without number

marks on the operation, finger the ma

Our camp established and the bag
gage piled where 1t was under our i'm
mediate observation, we started in
quiries about Col. Fawcett. It seemed
that the colonel had spent three nights
at this very spot and then travelled east
on foot to the malocas of these Indians,
the Anauquas. Bernadino showed us
the exact site of CO.., Fawcett's camp.
1t was small clearing not far off with
one of the Y-shaped stakes used for
supporting the cooking pots over the
fire still in place. Bernadino had not
gone further than this place, but had
returned up river with the two canoes
which Fawcett had borrowed.
There was evidently information Of
value to be had from the Indians which
only visit to their malocas would dis
close Hence my first consideration
was to go there.

By G. M. DYoTT.

After a delay of nine days we were
ready to proceed. Joao Climaco took
charge of the bark canoes. He was a
fine type of woodsman who, with two
other camaradas, had been put at my
disposal by the government in Cuyaba
MY companions and myself manned the
canvas boats, with the assistance OF
five other camaradas whom had hired
to 20 all the way to Para with us.
Visions of a tranquil journey gliding
down lanes of peaceful water were
rudely upset. Our first day af1oat was
q surprise to all. One of the bark ca
noes leaked badly and could carry only
q case or two of gasoline and tin OF
lard. The remaining four, shallow to
begin with, were lightly loaded in pro-
portion. It was the bark canoes which
took the lead and they looked like
toothpicks afloat on the surface of the
stream. So low were they in the water
the men seemed to be sitting on moth
ing. The canvas boats followed, heavily
loaded, but showing good 6 inches
clear above the water line.
Within 20 minutes of starting we
found ourselves enveloped in rapids
All cargo had to be unloaded and car
ried past the obstruction. Three more
were negotiated before we finally
pitched camp at pm. We were quite
exhausted from our exertions, tIf spite
Of the fact that we had progressed only
about 2 miles in a straight line
Though the bark canoe could not carry
much cargo, they could be hauled over
rocks fully loaded without fear Of in
jury. The canvas boats. on the other
hand, carried an astonishing amount
but every ounce of it had to be por-
tagged when we encountered shallow
water. 1t was the easiest thing in the
world to punch holes in the fabric
We had to make several repairs the
first dav. and hardly a day followed
during the entire trip when we were
not obliged to do some sort Of patching
Much Time Is Lost.
Many holes were naturally the result
Of inexperience in handling this form
OF craft. and. although much time was
lost in making minor repairs, it must
be admitted that we could never have
brought the expedition to a successful
issue without boats of this kind.
The weeks which followed baffied de.
scription. In our conflict with the
Kuluseu River we literally fought oul
way, mile by mile, down it's twisting
rock-bestrewn channel. Not for a mo.
ment was 1t possible to relax our vigil
Constant and careful watch had to bt

On the straightawav stretches thu
bed Of the stream fairly bristled with
driftwood and old tree stumps caught
in the shifting sands. At the bends in.
tricate tangles of sticks were crowded
up into grotesque heaps resembling
giant porcupines. In many places huge
trees had fallen across the stream
forming barricades of branches ane
roots that stretched from shore to shore
like artificial dams. The only way tt

LAS VEGAS. DAM SITE
Chief Executive of California City to Arrive
in This City This Afternoons; Trip Is Ar
ranged by Leslie Saunders; Informal Din
ner Being Planned to Honor Californian

Mayor John C. Porter of Los An
geles is motoring to Las Vegas to-
day TO look the city over, visit Boul-
der Dam site, and talk things over
with local business men.
The Mayors visit is unheralded.
1t was arranged through the good
offices OF Leslie r. Saunders, for
mer secretary of the Las Vegas
Chamber Of Commerce, who is a
friend OF Mayor Porter.
Mr.. Saunders arrived here yester-
day by automobile to see that proper
arrangements are made for taking
the distinguished guest to the Dam
site and showing such courtesieS AS
are possible.
Mrs. Porter and their daughter
will accompany the Mayor on the
trip.
At a meeting last evening it was
tentatively decided to hold an in
formal dinner for the Mayor to-
night, but the details of the ar
rangements had not been settled at
The time OF going to press.
Mayor Porter is an independent
clearthinking official and is not in
vOlyed in the maze of interests and
political cliqueS which for many
years previously featured the Los
Angeles mayorality office.
It his desire to become better &C
uuainted with the country tribu-
tary to his city.
1t is the hope of Las Vegas that
Mayor Porter will return to his
great city of Los Angeles with a
better knowledge of Las Vegas and
its possibilities than has been
evinced of recent months by many
Of his fellow citizens. The Age
hopes that his visit here will serve
to allay the suspicion that has
been growing in the minds OF Las
Vegas people, that his toWnsmen are
too self-centered and selfish to
plav fairly with SO small child as
is Las Vegas at present. We hope
also that he will be able to convey
to his fellow toWnSmen the thought
that the child bids fair to grow to
mans size in the next few years,
and that friendly relations and mu-
tual cooperation will be as help
full to the one as to the other.
Los Angeles has for some time
talked of the necessity OF develop
inc its "hinterland." Las Vegas eX-
poets to develop, with or without the
aid of Los Angeles. Whether it
shall become a part Of the Los An
geles ''hinterland" remains for them
to determine.
