1t seems that a squatter took up land down
on one of the canyon levels and set to farm
ing. First, though, he built a barn, by cut
ting four cottonwood saplings for corner posts,
sticking them in the ground and mailing boards
over and around them.
Next morning he noticed his posts had
taken root and were growing, and the far
mer spent half his. time after that mailing
more boards on the bottom of his barn to
keep the chickens and horses in.
Before the end of the week he had a two
story barn. and by the end of the month his
barn looked like the Washington Monument.
with a gable roof on it, so fast and tall did
those cottonwoods grow
The same farmer had a lot of other trouble,
too. The first year there his crop was a
financial failure. He planted all watermelons,

One of the incidents Of record, concerning
Grand Canyon climate, originated with an old
trapper who has spent more than half his life
in quest Of Grand Canyon furs.
One November he caught bear in trap.
While taking the bear out, the bruin got loose,
and the trapper just managed to cut OF its tail.
Do you know what happened then?
Right. The bear grew another tail, that same
day SO marvellous is canyon climate
The trapper took the tail home and before tha
month was up the tail had grown another bear
onto it!
IN actual experience of Col Bartholomew
Sutherland-the colonel himself SAYS So
has to do with falling the canyon rim, with
a somewhat unusual result. He is one of the
few people who have fallen over and lived to
tell it.
1T all come about" says he because of that
fiery little roam bought from a man in Utah.
That was as skittish piece of horsefesh as I
ever owned. Scary and jumpity as a bullfrog
"One day I was sitting on him about 100
yards from the edge of the canyon there talk
ing to some friends. Suddenly another horse
sneezed right behind mine. That roam jumped
and started running full speed. I tried to
whoa him, but he was so startled he ran on over
the edge Of the canyon with me before could
quiet him. 1t was 1000 feet straight down
there, too but that hoss never hesitated an
instant, an over he went!"
Inc colonel pauSeS here for announcement
1t always comes. But, colonel why weren't
you smashed to pieces in that tremendous fall?"
is the usual query.
We'll, when the horse was about 10 feet from
the ground he explains "I jumped off, The
horse fell 1000 feet, and was killed but only
fell 10 feet and wasn't hurt"
{ GREATEST of all the natural wonders which
the world affords, the Grand Canyon is
also one of the most famous. Famous first and
justly for its majestic beauty as whole, sec
ondly for the extraordinary nature of its many
component parts. Where else, for example can
you find natural oddity to compare with its
Petrified Farm?
Sure, the Petrified Farm It's down on about
the third level of the canyon. Covers some 20
acres or so. All petrified All solid rock when
man first discovered it. Trees standing there
with petrifed apples on them.
Little creek running through the petrined
pasture, with water like glass because It has
been petrified all these centuries. Some noun
tain bass and few minnows petrifed right In
1t. It's one of the main scientific wonders Of
the Grand Canyon Not so well known because
it's days trip down to it.
But it's all there, because Simp Cass one Of
the canyon guides went to it once, and had to
walk back because his pack mule killed itself
trying to eat petrifed grass.

HE climate of the Grand Canyon is credited
with some Of the remarkable nora and
fauna in and about it. Most of the residents
there become enthusiastic boosters of the climate
its health giving and invigorating qualities In
deed they are sometimes prone to exaggerate
and make claims that, obviously no climate
could live up TO. But on the whole exaggera-
ton is not necessary. The simple truth will
suffice.

but the soil and climate were so good that
the vines grew so fast they wore the melons
out dragging them around the field.
MERRIDEw POUND gives another true ac-
count Of the family pride which is in
cluded in a rattlesnake's character
Rattlers and road runners both inhabit the
Grand Canyon and are deadly enemies. The
runners are long-legged birds as big as
pigeons. They have sharp scissor-like bills.
Nothing delights them more than to catch
a RATHER and slowly peck his brains out.
Once Mr.. Pound was down in the canyon
and saw road runner catch a RATHER asleep
The RATHER knew he was licked. but rather
than beg for quick and painless coup de grace
or suffer ignominious torture from the bird, he
simply turned around, tied a knot in himself
and choked himself to death.
THE sunken mountains and peaks that form
the spectacular contour of the canyon also
serve to do indescribable things to the air cur
rents in that great cash. There is the case of
one Simpson Cass, canyon guide, who is cred
tied with knowing more about the winds of the
canyon than any other living individual
Simp Cas- boasts not so much of his knowl-
edge of the winds as of the fact that he once
fell over the canyon rim and lived to tell it.
How? we'll
Eyes, sir, up-current. Wind runnin' right

I gragged limb and clum down.
GRIM tragedy has stalked from time to time
about the rim and bowels of the Grand
Canyon. gigantic gulch the great depths of
which do assume weird and eerie aspect at
shutdown. Startling tricks of climate have been
recorded there. Humans and animals alike
have been affected oddly indeed
There is the notorious case of one Sonky, too
imaginative mule who served tourists for years
as canyon elevator, one of those faithful pack
animals who daily take visitors down hazard
Gus trail to the Colorado River. One hot
August, Sonky had been placed in the pasture of
Grand Canyon farm down about the 900-foot
level, to rest up for week. Alongside SonkyS
pasture the farmer had planted popcorn, and
had bumper crop about ready to harvest for
the tourist trade-abundant yellow ears, kernels
dried and hinty. Naturally they attracted
Sonky, and he began to eat.
But alas, the day grew so hot soon after noon
that the corn began to pop right on the stalks.
1t popped and bounced up and popped and pop
ped great big white fluffy kernels The more it
popped the hotter the sun shone, and before
o'clock Sonky was belly deep in a sea of white
popcorn, and in another hour she was COM
pletely submerged. And the poor mule familiar
with the rigorous Winters of the Grand Canyon
country, found two days later frozen to
death. victim of her own deluSion that the
popped was snow.

of that way, too. So he just crawled under
the bed covers and scroonched up and

'Wd. sir, Grover clum up the winder sill
and throwed the ketch which let the winder
down and locked it. Then he went over to
the door, clum up and wrapped hisself around
the doorknob, stuck his tail through the key

Of Grand Canyon soils and climate has

The journey from the northern bor-

one, but for the present the re-

is still impractical, though not i'm
possible.
Increased interest in the preser-

ulated by the wish to entertain

hotel facilities and shorter train

MEXICO CITY, March 81 (U.P)
-Mexicans are being asked these
days to see themselves as others see
them. Especially as foreign tourists
see them.
Led by the highest officials Of the
government, q campaign to make
the country more attractive to trav-
elers from abroad is being organized
on a national scale. A national tour
ist congress, called by Interior Sec
retary Portes Gil to meet here in
April, will afford tribune from
which the views of all interested
parties may be expounded.
The sequestration of beggars, who
are numerous in the cities and who
make foreigners their favorite prey,
is urged by the Secretary of Com
munications, General Juan Andreu
Almazan, as an essential part of any
plan to increase tourist travel. Free
ouent comments of travellers here
support the opinion of General AL
mazan, who is playing a promin-
ent part in organizing the tourist
congress.
Almazan would go further, he
said in an interview, and prohibit
the use of the country's railway
stations as loafing centers by u1-
attractive representatives of the un-
washed elements Of society. With q
high appreciation for the value OF
first impressions, he would trans
form the railway stations into mod
els of cleanliness.
AS a further aid to the promo
ton of tourist travel, General AL
