Mlnifen uf cool luketi uppeured, muck ing their thirst, and vanished, lu the background stood a runo of hluck walled uiouutnlns throuult which tlio eiulgrutitu could see no oiieulng. Ami this was Chrlstmus day, 18 It) I Karly in the spring they had left the Miilille West, HK) waKotm Ktrong, for the gold fields of California. Then the fatal decision of a part of the train to try a short cut across the moun taiim hud brought them into this vat ley whose tloor was more tlinu 'J00 feet below the level of the sea. In it they wandered for weeks of torment. Again the party split One group, Ittl persons In all, young bachelors from Illinois who culled themselves "The lu.vluiv.kers," pressed on toward the mountains. Sonic of them died of starvation, some of thirst ami others went umd and wandered away Into the desert. In. all 13 perished before they fought through to sufety. The other party, men with families, found a tiny spring and camped there to rest. Then food supplies ran low. Their oxen begun to die and their wagons to fall apart In the blistering sun. So Asaliel Dennett, their lender, sent two young fellows, Will Manley und John Itogers, forth to find a way out of the trap. As they departed Mrs. Kennett gave Mauley a double handful of rice half of ull she had and silently pointed to the hunger pinched faces of her ctdldren. The emigrants now sut down to wait for the return of the two scouts. A week passed two three and still they did not return. At the end of the fourth week all except Asahel llen netts wife abandoned hope. "They will come back," she declared stead fastly. But they did not, und the enil grants resolved upon one final desper ate attempt. They began stripping the canvas covers from the prairie schooners and making pack saddles to cinch upon their emaciated oxen. And then Manley nnd Itogers re turned 1 They spoke but briefly of the days of horror spent In struggling from one waterhole to the next across the 250 miles of the Mojnve desert, of the dend of the Jayhawker party whom they found along the trail. But they had brought food and, mowt vital of all, they had found a way out. They guided the party on the long Climb to the summit of the I'anamlnt range. As the emigrants reached the crest and looked back Into the In ferno from which they had escaped, Asahel Bennett's wife raised her arms In a gesture of farewell, "tlood-by, Death Valley f she cried. And thus It was named. America's Marvels NATURAL AND OTHERWISE N By T. T. Maxey OUR FIRST NATIONAL PARK The act of congress In 1823 which set aside the Hot Springs of Arkansas and four sections of adjoining land "for the future disposal of the United States, not to be entered, located or appropriated for any other purpose whatever," forged Into existence the first link In our present cliuln of world excelling national parks. This act performed a double purpose In that It also served to perpetuate and preserve these now celehruted springs from commercial monopoly or exploitation. , The Hot Springs Natlonul park res ervation contains upwards of WW acres and Is located in the city of Hot Springs, which Is not far from the cen ter of the state. The altitude of the city Is about 600 feet, while that of the surrounding hills Is about 1,200 feet above sea level. There are 40 hot springs In this group. All of them flow put Into a narrow valley, from the base of whut la known as Hot Springs mountain. There are also quite a number of cold springs here, and their waters are used both for drinking and In the treatment of those who visit this region with the hope of leaving their Ills behind them when they return home. The combined flow of all of these springs reaches the enormous volume of more than 750,000 gallons every 24 hours. Tradition would huVe ua believe that the Indians were familiar with the medicinal value of these springs In the days before the coming of the Spanish explorers, florae 400 years ago; that the several tribes fought bitterly at various times for their con trol, In the belief that the "Great Spirit" was ever present In them. The temperature of the waters from these various springs varies from 102 to 147 degrees the average ranging from 135 ta 147 degrees. These waters contain some twenty different kinds of mineral matter and ara radio-active. These hot springs offer relief from many of the ailments whlcJi beset the human race. ' There are 17 iarge pay bathhouses under governmental super vision. The rates for baths and serv ice are fixed by the director of natlonnl park service at Washington. he park Is administered by a resident superin tendent and Is open all tne year.

Cheney & Co., Toledo, O, DALLAS AND BETHEL WIN TENNIS TOURNAMENT The tennis tournament held here Saturday was one of the most inter esting events of the whole meet. Many fine plays were made and we witnessed some splendid "makings" for future tennis stars. The spirit of the schools was also unusual and we all admired the cheerful manner in which all losses and gains were made. We felt quite sure that if they all kept up the good work, the matches will be doubly interesting next year. In men's singles Dallas won first place. Their star, Mr. Warden, was fine and all admired his skillful plays. Bethel won first place in the wom an's singles, Doris Sears, a freshman of Bethel high school, surely played an exceptionally fine game. She did not lose a single set and her school should be proud of her. There is a big future for Miss Sears and we hope she will take advantage of it. For men's doubles, Dallas again took first place. Shreeve and Holt, their stars won all five sets and made a splendid showing for themselves and for their school.. Dallas and Bethel tied in women's doubles for first place. Helen Piany and Dorris Sears of Bethel won all four sets. Augusta Gorlingcr and Helen Lew is of Dallas lost but one set.
