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.' But one
may still see the cryptic marking

"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

ago they were a barrier to the pio

conquest of the Colorado Rockies
was begun. Now railroads and hlgh-

of the recently completed tunnel,
has an elevation of 12.005 feet, and
Is the site of the highest trans
continental automobile highway in
North America.
"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

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.

Man Creek, Roaring Fork, and Petro

"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
