Senator Cameron By JU D S O N C. W E L L IV E R HE Grand Canyon of the Colo rado River, widely regarded as the world’s most Imposing natural wonder, has suddenly taken on a new and startling interest. A few years ago. when It was as Inaccessible as the North Pole, John Wesley Powell won fame by making the first trip through I t A little later another adventurer conceived opening a trail from the canyon's rim down to *he river, a mile below. It seemed v ’ .. . grotesque but the impossible wa^ ac^ complished. and Its accomplishment has made the canyon's Innermost won ders accessible to thousands of tour ists each year. They come from all quarters of the world every season In greater numbers to traverse the Bright Angel Trail. That trail Is truly a monument to the daring and devotion of Its builder He worked at It for ten years, almost without help or financial backing, at one period spending almost half a year alone In the vast gorge. But today Ralph Cameron, builder of the Bright Angel Trail, occupying a seat in the United States Senate voted to him by the people of Arizona, has his reward. Greatest Artificial take But the conquest of the canyon had hardly been realized when the engi neers discovered a new use for It. At Boulder Canyon, Arizona, the greatest dam In the world, a third of a mile high, should impound a lake which, spreading over a great area In Arizona and Utah, would be, next to Lake Michigan, the largest fresh water body entirely within the United States Harnessed to mighty turbines, the wa ter, falling hundreds of feet, would produce a power greater than Niagara, and irrigate an area several times that of the Nile Basin, which served for uncounted centuries as granary of the ancient world .
