Veterans
|Guiide j.
By Maj. Thomos M. kiol

NiSI HVuU0S W. INIQt
From Mrs. M. M, Wichita,
Kans.: II married a World War I
veteran in 1925. I lived with him
Il years and have two sons by
him. My husband left me and
got = divorce. He has now re-
married. and I do not approve
Of 1t. II I do not remarry, will I
be entitled to a widows pension?"
Since you and your husband
are divorced, you will not get
pension. Nor would you be en-
titled to widows compensation,
were your former husband to die
OF a service disability.
From Mrs. F. K. F., Raceland,
La: Would you please publish
again the address to which vet
erans should write who have not
yet received an acknowledgment
Of their NSLI dividend applica-
tion?"
Address the letter to Veterans
Administration, 81, Washington
IS, D. c. Give complete informa-
tion, such as serial number, in
surance numbers (if available) :,
time application was originally
mailed in. full home address, etc.
From E. w. D., Galesville, Wis:
"In a recent column on the NSLI
dividend, you stated that many
veterans wouldn't receive as much
as they think on account of de-
ductions for overpayments OF
subsistence allowance and other
things. One OF these other things
was readjustment allowance. +
was unemployed for a few weeks
and drew my $40 a week until 1
found a job. Does that mean the
dividend check will be smaller by
the amount I drew as readjust-
ment allowance"
Oh, no, no. The column you
read said 'overpayments" of re-
adjustment allowance would be
deducted from the dividend checks
Just as "overpayments" Of sub
hstence allowance would find their
way back to the VA via the divi-
dend check. There will be no de-
ductions Of 1920 pay which al
veteran deserved and had coming
to him and got.
From r. T. G., Portland. Me-:
II had two serial numbers in the
Army, one as an enlisted man and
one as an officer. Which one will
the VA use in determining when
my check Is to be paid?
Chances are it will use the high
Or number. which undoubtedly is
your enlisted number. But you
can't be certain of that, and there
Is no way you can find out. Just
wait.
From F. T.. Spokane. Wash.
How many extra points does a
disabled veteran get added to his
grade on Civil Service examina-
tion?"
Ten. And if that brings his
mark over passing, he goes to the
head OF the list of applicants, and
must be considered for the job Is,
available.
From w. s. r.. Oakland, Calf.
When is the VA going to start
paying those NSII dividends?
Seems to me that's all I've been
hearing about for the past year"
Probably within two weeks

Miss Humphreys, of the State
Department of Education, was at
Bluffton College last week to help in
the planning of the elementary
education program, which will be
initiated next fall with the employ

education field.
In discussions with faculty mem
bers Miss Humphreys spoke of the
requirements in the various fields for
the elementary teacher. She inspect
ed the college library to determine
the new material which will be need

broke oars and tragedy was mar.
rowly averted. One oarsman suf-
fered an arm injury, requiring first
aid.
He also told of the big game
and small animals that are plenti-
full in the canyon-the deer being
down to the waters edge or on the
cedar-covered talus slopes. Wild
cats and bears had regularly beaten
trails along the sandy beaches
throughout most of the canyon and
one bear eve invaded the camp.
A geological reconnaissance was
made in the second gorge where it
was estimated that the walls rise
1000 feet above the water. At this
point a clear contact is made be-
tween the Big Horn dolomite and
the Cambrian shale. Many marine
fossils were in evidence-organ
pipe, coal, brochapods and highly
polished g%astropods from the ordi-
vican, as we'll as several unidenti-
fled fossils.
Photographs were made of Chain
canyon, where three sets of huge
chains block off all exit or entry
from the narro canyon. Holes
were drilled into the walls and the
chains cemented in with molten
lead. Old placer mining machinery
was photographed with a date of
1902 stamped on the gears.
The explorers said the expedi-
ton may again open up the con-
troversial site Of the famous Log
mine by the finding of an
old cabin hidden near the cliffs of
the canyon. They said the roof has
in and trees and brush have
grown up through the floor, and
while the walls are still standing,
they are in a crumbled state. A
bullet hole through the window sill
and three bullet holes through an
DID saw that hung above the door,
make it apparent that tragedy hap
pcned there. The saw was so old
that the hardwood handle crumbled
10 dust when handled.
Another time while exploring a
side canyon, the party happened
Upon the last remains of a badly
lisintegrated human skeleton,
with the skeleton of a grizz-
Y. where they had died in their
asst mortal combat. At the scene
vas found an old flint-lock rifle
lated 1925.

summer of 1888 and described il
as a region beautiful beyond de.
scription, yet a place where al
trails lead around but none
through.
On the evenings of March "a and
25, at the high school auditorium
Laurel residents will have the
opportunity of seeing the films of
a boat trip through this Big Horn
Canyon, made last August by Ward
King, Jr., and Bill Greene of Grey
bull, Wyo. Showing of the picture
is sponsored by Laurel Boy Scouts
as a means of raising funds for
their activities.
The vast region of wilderness
shown in the films, stretches for
miles along the Montana Wyoming
border between two high mountain
ranges, the Pryors and the Big
Horns.
Here the Big Horn river, through
the ages, has carved a chasm of
colossal magnitude as it forces its
way through solid rock. The can
yon is ablaze with color-its mas
sive walls of yellow, vermilion
and pink are a sight never to be
forgotten. But for all its beauty it
has remained a land of mystery to
all but a handful of explorers who
have dared to penetrate it's depths.
For centuries its perpendicular
walls and roaring rapids have de-
fled adventurers even to the extent
of claiming their lives, even shun-
ned by the Indians who believe it
to be the home of evil spirits, from
the strange and unaccountable
noises that emerge from the can
yon.
The most recent adventures to
attempt the trip were Ward King,
Jr., Thorton Cougill and Bill
Greene of Greybull and Don Weav-
er and William Roberts of Frannie.
Cougill and Greene acted as guides
for the expedition, having had pre-
vious experiences in the canyon.
Using specially constructed all
enclosed boats, patterned after
boats which had run the rapids of
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
with success, and generously sup
piled with extra oars, ropes and
life belts, they departed from Grey
ready for the worst.
They emerged from the canyon I
on Aug. 7, after 10 days of battle
with the elements in boats that
damage from contact with
jagged rocks. Despite the hard
the men described it as a
great trip.
Cougill said that due to low
water, the trip was extremely ar
duous, that many times the boats
hung up on the huge rocks that
line the river bottom. He stated
that in "Suicide Rapids" the larger
boat was forced into the canyon
wall, causing severe damage, and
one motor was beyond repair.
In the Bull Elk rapids both boats
