Long Sunken City
St. James Plunged 300 Feet
in 1880 Earthquake.

TAMPA.-A party of adventurous
Americans, headed by Capt. Robert
Hall Of Detroit, is bound for the
West Indies, where they hope to ex-
plore the submerged city of st.
James, sunk 800 feet beneath the
sea during an earthquake in 1880.
when the earthquake struck sud-
denly virtually every inhabitant Of
the town was lost under the sea,
and a vast wealth is said to have
gone down in the city," Hall ex-
planned.
Hall said the party, composed of
Jack Browne of Milwaukee; Rupert
Conrad, Detroit artist; George Law
son magazine illustrator; and
James Murdoch and Jack Callouette,
students at the University of Michi-
gan, would collaborate in preparing
book describing their explorations.
Browne manufactures helium self
containing diving suits, which will
be used to reach the submerged
city. He said divers had descended
successfully to a depth of 420 feet in
the suits. which have no air tubes
attached and are lowered to the
ocean floor by cable containing a
telephone wire for communication.
The city of St. James formerly
was the capital of St. Kits island in
the Lesser Antilles.
According to Hall, the coral-en-
crusted walls of the town are visible
from the surface during a calm sea.
Equipment placed aboard the mo-
torship Albee when the party left
Tampa included five undersea cam
eras, undersea compression gun, all
deep-sea diving equipment and div
ing lungs.
Hall said that they planned to ex-
anime several submerged wrecks
during the voyage to the West In
dies, arriving in the vicinity of St.
James late in June.

National Parks to Offer
More Camping Facilities

SAN FRANCISCO. - Americans
are rapidly becoming camping con-
scious, according to Julian H. Salo-
mon, national park service camping
specialist of Washington.
On tour of the California camp
ing sites. Solomon explained this
phase of the national park services
work as follows:
1T was assumed" he said, chat
there were numerous agencies in the
country interested in camp opera
tons if they could be assisted in
obtaining suitable sites and facili-
ties.
lit was also thought that smaller
agencies operating camps would be
able to pool their efforts if offered
improved facilities to encourage
better service.
"As a result, through consultation
with local agencies, camp develop
ment was studied thoroughly from
the viewpoint of the committees
needs. Out of these consultat tons
came organized camping for family
boys, girls, educational and other
groups utilizing facilities carefully
planned to provide the greatest use
at minimum cost"
Solomon said that in 1886 there
were only nine camps in operation
in the United States with total of
$3.50 camper days.
For 1888 these figures were in
creased to 40 camps with a total of
376,173 camper days.
The service expects to have at
least 60 camps in operation with
probable total of 10000 camper days
for 1899.

We read of the housing short
age in the cities without taking
much thought of the shortage in
houses at home. Do you know of
a single habitable house in Dick
enson County that is empty? Do
you notice how any space or room
is snapped up at once? Rents
have gone skyward in Clintwood,
and houses scarcely remain vacant
overnight.
Opportunity knocks loudly at
the door of any man who has idle
capital. Houses are sounder in
vestments than any to be found.
Stocks and bonds may tumble,
and banks may crack, but homes
to rent will bring in steady re-
turns through a lifetime.

A Crying Need

Repair on our hard surfaced
roads is being carried forward in
our county. And for all favors
we are grateful. Ten years ago
there was not a single hard sur
faced road leading out of Dicken-
son County. Now, Number SO
goes from the Red Onion Gap to
Greenbrier; Number " yeads out
to Coeburn; and Number 70 gives
an outlet to Saint Paul. Does any
master plan take into account two
badly needed roads - the extern
sion of Number 80 both ways
from Haysi - toward Elkhorn
City, Kentucky, and toward Hon
aker? In justice to great sec
ton of Dickinson County, we say
that the extension Of Highway
Route 80 in both directions is a
crying need.

Nature has been good to us this

of corn, potatoes, and fruits to be
stored away. when we put away
our food for winter, why not save
the very choice parts of all for
seed in springtime? Always our
poorer people have trouble getting
sed to plant. There should be no
excuse for that trouble next
spring. Our harvests are abund-
ant, and the quality of seed is as
good as can be ordered from any
where. Look ahead and first OF
all put away the best of your
corn, potatoes, and beans for
planting next spring.
