Seth | araway Diamond Merchant and Jeweler GRANDEUR OF FAMOUS ROYAL GORGE SHOWN BY LANTERN SLIDES Geology Classes Take Perilous I Trip Through Grand Canyon Via Pictures 1 The superb grandeur of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river was viewed last night by Prof. Warren Smith’s geology classes in the reci tation room in the Administration , building where Dr. Smith took the class on a trip, with colored slides, along the edges of the most famous gorge in the world and explained the many queer shaped formations in the landscape. The trip down and back Bright Angel Trail on a burro probably was the most en thralling of the entire evening simply because of its perilousness. | “You will never know what a tre mendous spectacle this canyon is,” said Mr. Smith, “until you yourself have stepped up to the edge of it and looked over. It has queer ef fects upon different people, some im mediately break down in uncontrol lable weeping at the first glance of its enormousness, others swear, while others spit till you’d think they never would be able to again, and others are made absolutely spellbound.” Apologizes to Riley. After hearing Frank Branch Riley’s talk in assembly, Mr. Smith offered profuse apologies for his own talk and then advised that j everyone “see Oregon first” and | then next take in probably the j largest geological wonder in the • world—that of the Colorado Grand , Canyon. Slides Furnished by Santa Fe The slides, which are furnished j by the Santa Fe Railway to anyone | paying the freight expenses, are ; extraordinarily good scenes for the | study of geology. They are more or less of an advertising invest ment by the railway company but are worth studying. To get to the place where the pictures were pho tographed you take the Santa Fe a branch from the main road, to Williams, Arizona. This place is a regular summer resort. Country Covered With Trees. The country away from the can yon is similar to that of North Carolina being covered with pine trees with no underbrush. The discovery of this canyon is ranked third in order of most dar ing explorations in history. A party of explorers started at the top of the canyon and went down the river in boats that would right themselves in the water after be ing aipped over. The boats .Were tipped over innumerable times and after weeks of travel half of the party decided they would go back so the provisions were divided equally and half of the party went on down the river and came to the mouth of it the following day while the other half started to climb out of the canyon and have not been heard of to this day. They were either captured and killed by the Indians or starved to death in the desert before they reached Salt Lake City, their destination, ac cording to history. $- -—--------3, Choice Flowers For All Occasions -——-— Special Rates to Students Organizations.
