Headquarters Powell's ColoriJo Riv
er Exploring Expedition, K;tnab, Utah,
Jan. 7. ' We left Green River Sta
tion, U. P. It. Maj 22, 1871. We
were provided with three splendid
boats, '22 feet long and f)J feet beam.
Amidships, forward and ait, a water
tight coin part ui:nt is built fur holding
provisions, instruments, photographic
materials and so on. Thia leaves a
vacant place forward and aft for the
rowers, the steersman hitting on the
after cabin. Wc were loaded with two
months' supplies, the rest having been
sent round to meet us at various point?
along the route. We pulled out, our
party numberiLg eleven, Major Powell
with the first boat acting as guide and
pilot for the expedition.
For the first sixty miles wc met with
no serious rapids or obstructions of con
sequence. June 2d we entered lted
CaDjon and ran some very bad falls,
passing one of which, the Nellie Powell,
i'rof. Thompson's boat was capsized,
spilling the crew into the boiling flood,
and losing everything that happened to
be tying around loose. The main
cargo, being under hatches, was pre
served from damage. One of the party
caved in. For six days we had tolera.
bly lively times, making twenty miles,
and running about fifty rapids. At one
fall wo had to carry our boats seventy
fivo yards over cliffs thirty feet high.
June 11th we were in Brown's Hole.
Here one of the party, F. C. A. Rich
ardson, of Chicago, gave up tho race on
account of sickness, and started for
home. We entered the canyon of Lo
dore JuDe 17th, our first portage here
being at Disaster Falls, and Hell's Half
Mile, besides numerous line portages.
The distance through this canyon is
about sixteen miles. We found the
walls composed of red sandstone, vary
ing in height from 2,000 to 3,500 feet.
At tho junction of the Green and Bear
rivers we found Kcho Park. It is
about three miles in circumference. It
is hemmed in by vertical walls 1,000
to 2,000 feet high, and consequently
accessible only by the rivur.
While camped here a party of us
ascended tin Bear river fifteen miles,
and made a topographical map aud
about twenty negatives. j We passed
through Whirlpool Canyon, and then
we entered Island Park. This is about
fifteen miles long, and fertile in some
places. It would make a spleudid
stock ranch It is surrounded by high,
broken mountains and crags. From
the top of one crag 3,000 feet high I
had some noble views. Through Craggy
or .Split mountain, a distance of fifteen
miles, we encountered several bad rap
ids and falls. Cleariug this, we enter
ed the valley of the Uintah and had
fair sailing for about eighty miles. At
Uiutah Agency we received supplies.
Starting out August 5th we entered
the canyon of Desolation, and tor one
hundred miles again encountered rocks
and rapids. We agaiu received a mail
and supplies at Gunnison's Crossing,
brought in by Major Powell from Salt
Lake, he having left us at the Uinah
Agency. From Gunnison's Crossing to
the Paria river, about three hundred
miles, we had mostly all i canyons, and
made about forty mile portages, besides
running aboutonc hundred bad rapids.
The walls vary from 500 to 4,000 feet
high, and are verticil on both sides.
About one hundred miles above the
Paria, at the entrance of a stream called
the Dirty Devil, from its muddy ap
pearance, wc cached our boats, in
wl.ieh a land exploring party will come
down in .the spring from a trip which
will be made from S'me voleanic mono-
tains lying about fif-y miles to the j
north west of the Colorado at this j
point. W artived at the Parii Oct. j
2d. We cached the boils, aud started
lor this p! k:o with a pack train. Our
supplies are stored here, and the party
ire eaiiip..:d :nx utiles outh of the
place. The work for the winter is the,
establishing of la -e lines for the lati
tude aud longitude, topographical and
geograj hical mapping of the moun
tains bordering on the! river, phoio-grij-hti.g
scenery in the vicinity, and
visiting various tribes of Indian,
among which are the Pah Utes, Xava
jin, and Azteo or Moqus, and othr,
of all of whoso languages Major Powell
is preparing vocabularies. Ife is aUo
collecting horn them a large amount of
very interesting curiosities.
A visit to the seveu Aztec cities in
Vrizoua will be made some time during
the winter, and it is thought that many
valuable iteais in regard to this nearly
extinct race of p"'plo will bo added to
history. Kaiab is one of tho pioneer
t'f.vns of Utah. It issihnted near the
lino of Arizona, about 80 miles nor'h- S
cast of St. George, aud 70 miles north
of the Colorado Kiver.
During the troubles with the Nava
jos, tho mormons had a fort built here,
which has been occupied six or seven
years. Agricultural pursuits, however,
have never received any attention until
two years ago. Now a fine town is laid
out, and building is progressing rap
idly. There are about forty families,
all Mormons and true blue polyaamists.
They have a telegraph, which has
lately been connected with this p'acc.
Urigham Young and suite passed
through some four or five weeks ago.
We had the honor of an interview, and
were received very cordially. Looking
upon us as a peaceable party, intent on
scientific pursuits only, he has extend
ed to us every encouragement. The
inhabitants also have given us the hand
of welcome, and where we expected to
fpend a dreary winter, wc find the door
of hospitality open, and friendly greet
ings, reminding us that though far in
the wilderness, we have not yet passed
the pale of civilization." K. O. B.
The Philadelphia North American
says that the iron productions of the
United States during 1871 amounted
to 1850,000 ton's, and that it would
have reached 2,000,000 ton's but for
the disastrous miners' strikes in the
i Pennsylvania anthracite regions. The
result of that foolish movement has
been to break up the old arrangements
for the supply of anfhracite, causing
thousands of acres of new coal lands to
be brought into working. The proba
bility is that the coal production will
be larger during 1872 than formerly.
Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm writes to
the Woman1 s Journal that woman suf
frage in Illinois is under a heavy cloud.
Many formerly identified with it shrink
aghast from doctrines proclaimed by
some of his professed friends. They
would prefer going back to the jjood
old times when wives were corrected
with a rod not more than an inch
round, rather than forward iuto the
proposed elysium of no legal marriage
or free divcrcc.
One Term Policy.
Tho New York Herald thus dis
courses upon tho 44 One Term Policy"
and the charges against President
Grant :
General Grant has certainly been
as satisfactory a President as Washing
ton or Jefferson, or Jackson or Lincoln.
The country proposes to houor him as
these other statesmen were honored.
The witches break out into a clamor of
denunciation, and cry out their'tavern
scandals, which nobody believes, and
they do not believe themselves. One or
two of the graver ones say further :
' We do not suggest General Grant for
re-election, because wo are in favor of
the principle of one term for Preceden
tial candidates.' This is a principle, is
xt't Let us grant that. Why, then,
force this principle upon the country at
a time wren i:s advocacy is an injustice
to Grant? This principle did nut pre
vent Mr. Greeley, Mr. Wilkes, Mr.
Sumner, and in l.tet the w hole tribe
of witches f.om supporting Mr. Lin
coln. If this faith was strong in them,
why did they consent to Mr. Lincoln's
election ? If their devotion to the
principle was of an clastic, temporary,
accommodating nature, why advance it
now? We think Mr. Conkling, a- the
friend of the President, trade a mi-take-in
considering tho 4 One Term Princi
ple as in any way reileefing upon
Grant. He -liould have si 1 : Let u
havc the one-term doctrine prepared
and di-eu-s-d at the proper time. It' it
is wi-e we can adopt it, if n;;!, reject it.
You bring it i'owud now, nut ns n
jo inci o'e, bur bs an inM 'gne. You j
know well that the co-torn ( the ( nun- j
try has been to re eleet chef magi?
traus wn are worthy. hy !nuol
that Cit; in be I r oven to enable ou to
vi-tt your resentment upon Gen, Grunt?
If this is really a principle a deeply
ehertsdsed conviction you are taking
the co irsc tint wdl m -t, -ur- ly des
troy it ; f r you bring it firwurdja an
intiiu', a scheme, an expedient, n cant
to deny Gruit In- due -honor, and you
compel every one of hi- friend-,
whether t' ey agree v. itii you or not, to
oppos your prineiplo.' This in the
ground upon which to discus the one
term question. It docs not belong to
the prex-rit canva-, and the proper
course for General Grant's fri Mids to
take is to consider ii an adjourned
issue, and to iusi-t that by law and cus
tom, by an example as .vieri ;d ns that
of Wu-'iingtoti, th y have the right to
re-cloct General Grant; that limy mean
to try and do it. When shit is dot,
they will take up this principle and
consider it calmly and with thorough
uess, and without the suspicion of
making war upon the Presiden;."
The Snow Itloekade.
From the . San Francisco Chronicle
of the 21st ult. we cull the following
concerning the late blockade cn the
overland railroad :
" For twenty six days have the
people of San Francisco been without
mail facilities, and passengers have
been delayed, owing to the blockade on
the Union Pacific Railroad, and during
the whole of that time it does not seem
that the Company realized the emer
gency, for at no time were adequate
incisures taken to open the road. Pas
sengers who have just arrived agree in
saying that at no point were thero a
sufficient number of men employed, and
some never saw a snow plow upon the
road, and others charge a lamentable
deficiency in rolling stock, and a scar
city of engines. It is freely stated that
the detection was purposely allowed to
continue, when the cause could have
been removed, in order to affect some
stock operations in which the New
York and Boston owners are at vari
ance. How that is we do not know,
but this is certain, we have suffered,
and aro likely to continue to suffer
from the blockade, when wo have a
right to expect on open road ; and
whether it was by negligence or de
sign, we have good reason to complain.
At all events the Government should
make some arrangements by which the
mails could bo put through. It is said
that this was not done, because it would
be an admission that tho road was not
passable. In the faco of such a deten
tion, such a reason is only ridiculous.
The Central Pacific Company deserve
great credit for the manner in which
they forwarded the delayed passengers
aud mails when the opportunity was
offered them. They spared neither
trouble nor expense in their part of the
work, and if the Union Pacific had
shown one half the energy, the block
ado would How have bfcn ended,
instead of lasting, as it probably will,
for some time longer.
TarlJI on Salt.
The Free Traders, in their warfare
on our Tariff, demand that salt shall be
put iu the free list, but object that tea
and coffee shall be made tree! This
inconsistency betrays them. It demon
stratcs that free trade is a war of Brit
ish capital and labor on American capi
tal and labor, and that the reduction of
our tarifl rates is not sought in the in
terests of our own people, bo ia tbp
interests of foreigners. Tho-British' do
not produce tea and coffee, nor have
they the monopoly of carrying and sup
plying these commodities. If they had,
their busy agents in the United States
would have made the country ring with
a howl against the wicked tariff, which
taxes the poor man's tea and coffee
Hut the British largely produce salt in
the West Indies, iu Euglaud and in
Canada, and they want the American
market for it exclusively. So they
oppose a reduction on tea and coffee,
lest that might satisfy the popular feel
ing again-t tariff taxation upon -ar.ieles
of necessity entering into general con
sumption, which they had to a certain
extent kindled but they furiound
Congress and imprcca'e feelingly the
restrictions, which the tariff phtet-s ou
tli poor man's con.-umptioa of cheap
and pure lrti-h salt.
Free salt is a clever eateh word, but
thry must laugh' who m esth it ; I'or,
ur luting that the repeal of the duty ou
foreign salt wou'd chcat'cu it, whuh
-urely
it would not, can any skilled
ririthuw tieian cipher out the saving it
won M e fleet on a workwoman's on
sumption of salt for a year? Two

United St:its is forvigu. If he duty

face of the d parte 1. The service was
conducJe J by two clergymen, friends of
i he deceased, who, with their long
prayers and extended remarks," con
sumed nearly two hours, during which
Mr. Barnes suffered untold agony of
suspense and impatience. Hardly had
the second minister pronounced his
Amen," when Barnes, iu his well
known squeaky voice, turning to the
pcrson sitting nearest him taid :
M Bid vou know Kid "
" Yes, sir," said the man addressed,
iu a low uoice.
"Good fellow, wasn't he?" continu
ed Barnes.
k Vcs, sir" still in a suppressed
tone.
" And he was a mighty smart one,
too," Kjueakcd Barnes.
"Very, smart," continued the other,
as the company present began to look
in that direction.
" Yes he was," piped Barnes, still
louder, and with ona of his expressive
expletives, 4 and if he had had the
running of his funeral he'd have been
under ground an hour and a half ago."
A Plea for the Ludicrous The
ludicrous has its place in the Universe;
it is not a human invention, but one of
the Divine ideas, illustrated in the
practical jokes of the kittens and mon
keys long before Aristophanes or
Shakespeare. How curious it is that
we always consider solemnity and the
absence of all gayety, surprises and en
counters of wtt ns essential to tho idea
of the future life of those whom wo
thus deprive of half their faculties and
then call them "blessed P There arc
not a few who, even in this life, seem
to be preparing themselves for that
smilelcss eternity to which they look
forward, by banishing all gaiety frcm
their hearts, and all joyousuess from
their countenances. 1 meet puch an
oue in the streets not unfrcqueutly, a
persou of intelligence and education
but who gives (and all ho passes) such
a rayless and chilling, look of recog
nition something as if he were one of
Heaven's assessors, come dovvu to
"doom" every acquaintance - he met
that I have sometimes begun to sucezo
ou the spot, and gone home with a vio
