Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGOX. FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1935. IS DEDICATED BY OLD HOME TOWN Hannibal, Missouri, Light house Overlooks Missis sippi Where Young Clem ens Gained Inspiration WASHINGTON, D. C (Spl.) Dedication of m memorial lighthouse on Cardiff Hill, overlooking the Mis sissippi river at Hannibal, Missouri, recently opened the centennial cele bration of the birth of Mark Twain (Samuel L- Clemens). Other ceremon ies are being planned in Elmlra, New York; Hartford, Connecticut; New York City, and Bermuda all of which were Intimately connected with the later life and writings of the famous humorist. "As the 'little white town drowsing In the sunshine,' described In the novels 'Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer.' Hannlbnl, Is perhaps the best-known small town In the United States," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarter! of the National Geographic Society. Now a City of 23.000 "Countless thousands of readers In many lands (Mark Twain's works have been translated Into a score of languages) know Cardiff Hill, Jack son and Turtle Islands, McDougal's Cave, the Mississippi River, and the whitewashed board fence which form the background for the most popular stories of American boyhood ever written. "Meanwhile the 'little white town' has grown up Into a busy community of 23,000 persons the seventh largest city In Missouri and the fourth In dustrially. Its steamboat landing, where the youthful 'Sam' Clemens was Inspired by the stories and leg ends of daring pilots and Imagina tive negro roustabouts, Is no longer as Important commercially as Its railroad lines, trunk highways, shoo factories, cement works, car shops, ' and woodworking plants. "Yet Hannibal has never forgotten Its most famous son. His boyhood home, the house built by hit father In 1844, Is preserved by the city as a shrine and museum. It contains a unique collection of relics, and many articles of household equipment which give an excellent Idea of how people of ordinary means lived In a Mississippi river town during the 'forties' and 'fifties' of the 19th cen tury. "Atop Cardiff HU1 which Mark Twain describes as 'green with veg etation, and Just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land dreamy, reposeful, and Inviting,' rises the new memorial lighthouse, an octagonal shaft 76 feet high, whose beacon sheds Its rays on all the scenes of the writer's youth. "North of Cardiff Hill, a bit of wooded highland has been set aside as a public park. Here, overlooking the long reaches of the river he loved so well, stands a bronze statue of Mark Twain. From Inspiration Point, the Mississippi Is a thing of beauty on moonlight summer nights, when the shimmering surface of Ol' Man River Is dotted with pleasure craft, and, now and then, the lights of a large excursion steamboat. New II ridge Across Mississippi "Just under the foot of the hill stands another memorial the Huck and Tom monument. Bronze figures depict two carefree, barefoot boys, winging along In search of adven ture. The old swimming hole and fishing bank along the Mississippi, near the Huck and Tom monument. Is today the scene of construction activities for a 1,000,000-hlghway bridge being built across the river. "Two miles south of Hannibal Is McDougal's Cave, whose gloomy re cesses and legendary lore offered such a rich setting for the adventures of Huck' and 'Tom.' Today It Is called Mark Twain Cave. Us bats have been banished, and gates and a watchman preclude Its use as a refuge for crlm- i lnals, such as 'Injun Joe.'

"Citizens of Hannibal also point out the home of Becky Thatcher, Tom Sawyer's sweetheart, who In real life was Laura Hawkins; the site of the prlntshop of Orion Clemens, where his younger brother 'Sam served as a printer's apprentice and gained his first knowledge of the world of letters; a street renamed Mark Twain avenue; and a dozen other places that link fact nnd fic tion so Intimately In this historic old town, affectionately masked under the name of 'St. Petersburg' In Mark Twain's writings. "Another Missouri community shares honors with Hannibal during the centennial. The little village of Florida, about 30 miles southwest of Hannibal, Is the actual birthplace of the writer, but his family moved to Hannibal when Samuel was four years old. As the humorist spent all of his boyhood and part of his young manhood In and about Hannibal, the city has always claimed him as a native son. Strictly speaking, how ever, 'Mark Twain' Is a stranger to Hannibal, The pen name 'Mark Twain' (a rlverman's call meaning two fathoms, or twelve fect) was hot adopted by the famous humorist un til he was a newspaperman In Nevada years later. "Early this spring Hannibal will open a special Mark Twain Museum In a bank building about .four blocks from the Clemens' home. Here will be displayed a loan exhibition of original manuscripts and personal belongings of the writer. During the summer there will be a Homecoming Pageant, a Tom Sawyer's Day, an Old-fashluned Singing School con test, and other activities. The cele brntlon will close with a banquet at Hannibal on Mark Twain's birthday, November 30." Indian Ittirlitl (irnuml Found glneers have bored a four-mile tun nel through the Colorado Rockies to deliver water from the western slope of the mountains to the I thirsty Colorado plains below the eastern slope. The bore pierces tne continental divide near Independence Pass. "When Colorado 'turned her atten tion from mining to agriculture, she J found herself severely handicapped by an Inadequate water supply," says a bulletin from the Washington. D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society. "In the eastern portion of the state were fertile plains but little water; in the west, an abundance of water but Icrs land suitable for Irrigation. Rainfall on the plains averages 12 Inches a year, and even then most of It falls In a few summer cloudbursts that do more damage than good. Four great rivers rise in Colorado's mountains the Colorado, Rio Orande, Arkan sas, and Platte. At present almost all of the state's unused water escapes through the Colorado basin. Pioneers Avoided Itoikies. ''Thus the mountains are a bar rier to the farmer in eastern Colo rado as. three quarters of a century ago they were a barrier to the pio neers. For many years westward travel avoided Colorado. The Oregon Trail passed to the north and the Santa Fe trail to the south. Then the lure of gold and furs brousht trappers and prospectors, and the conquest of the Colorado Rockies was begun. Now railroads and hlgh- KARNES CITY, Tex. (UP)-An Old 'WflVB th d,vlc ln doZ" Indian burial ground was uncovered by relief workers digging in a caliche pit near here recently. In tho graves human and dog bones were found Intermingled.

"Burled 2800 feet below the sum mit of Star Mountain, the tunnel Is 10.500 feet above sea level. On the west slope of the Rockies a canal collects water from small creeks that have previously fed the Roar ing Fork of the Colorado river. When early in May the gates of the new tunnel are opened, this water, origi nally destined for the Pacific, will start on a 225-mlle Journey east- Ject a difficult one. Working at an altitude of nearly two miles a man can do only 60 per cent as much work as he can at sea level. Trans portation also made the construc tion of the tunnel difficult. Only four miles of tunnel separate the camps at east and west portals, but when deep drifts block the moun tain passes, It Is a 200-mlle trip by road from cne camp to the other. "The region Is one of the wildest in the Rockies. From the top of In dependence Pass a sea of bare, Jag ged peaks reaches in a circle to the horizon. Stunted evergreens mark the straggling tlmberllne across their slopes. Lower down are dark for ests of spruce and fir, lightened with patches of aspens, whoso leaves turn to clear gold under autumn frosts. Even the names on the mp have a pioneer ring Dead man Gulch. Grizzly Peak. Frying Pan Creek, Lost Man Creek, Roaring Fork, and Petro leum lake. "The romance of gold and silver clings to mountain and stream in this region. Narrow trails fclgzng up rocky slopes to old cabins and de serted shafts. Prospectors still hope to make a lucky strike. Last sum mer there was evidence of renewed activity about the old camp of Inde pendence, abandoned 30 years ago. Aspen on the west slope, and Lead ville on the east, were both ani mated camps In the eighties. Lead ville, In fact, was once the second city of Colorado. Discovery of silver bearing lead in the upper valley of the Arkansas changed Leadvllle from log cabin settlement to a city of 30.000. When silver slumped the city dwindled to a town, but mining operations have never ceased. Zinc, old, copper, lead and sliver are j being produced there today." i fULINARY vRAFT By EattlJa Korean.
