TRAVELOGUE 'And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as a crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb" Rev. 22:1 If you were to stand at a cer-tain point on the continental div-ide, between Sublette and Fremont counties in Wyoming, with a cup and a bucket of water you could divide that bucket of water so that pare of it could find its way to the Gulf of Mexico, another part to the Pacific Ocean and the rest to the Gulf of California. Three of America's great river systems have their sources high in the Rockies, in the state of Wyoming. Yellowstone Lake feeds the Yel-lowstone River, a tributary of the Missouri. Heart Lake, also in Ye-llowstone Park, feeds the Snake, with is tributary to the Columbia, and a few miles to the south Green River feed the largest tribut ary of the Colorado River system. Acros the continest, in the Allegh-any Moutains, is the source of the Ohio which, ljke the Missouri, is a part of the Mississippi system. The three systems which originate in Wyoming, the Columbia, the Col orado, and the Missouri-Mississip-together with the Rio Grande and the St. Lawrence, are the principal river systems of the U. S. While the St. Lawrence flows through Canada, it is fed by the great lake Rivers are almost like living things. They, are givers of life and carriers of commerce. They are the inspiration of songs and stories. Their moods change with the days and the seasons. There is no better way to visual-ize the river systems in their lar-ger aspects than to make a long cross country trip by air. One can follow a river for hundred of miles and watch it grow from a tiny rivulet in the mountains to a great stream winding across the plains. From a moving vantage point in the sky, one can see the tributari-es wandering across the country to their junctions with the rivers, and grasp the magnitude of the continental drainage systems. On the recent air trip to Louis-ville, Ky., with Dr. .Adams and Leo Burraston, we enjoyed the beauties of the rivers as much as any feature of the trip. After taking off from Delta on the morning of June 9, we flew over Zion Canyon noted the Rio Virgin, the tourist road and the Mt. Carmel tunnel. Incidentally, the upper reaches of Zion can only be viewed from the air, and the scenery is terrific. The Virgin, a minor tributary of the Colorado, is unimportant ex-cept that it flows through Zion in a setting of scenic beauty. Soon we were over the Grande Canyon, with the Colorado far be-low. We had been In flight only 2 hours. A squib in the notebook reads, "9:10 to 9:30.. View of the Grand Canyon, and Colorado River, muddy, swift, sullen". We were pro bably two mi'les above the river bed, but the swift motion of the muddy, lashed to foam on the rock could be seen clearly.. We followed the Little Colorado on toward Win slow, Arizona, where we gassed up. Somewhere before reaching Albe-querq-we sighted the Rio Grande, romantic stream of the great southwest. .The Rio Virgin, the Rio Colorado, the Rio Grande.! What stories of exploration and adventure those names can tell! Next day we flew up into Kan-sas, and followed the Arkansas River for a way; then hopped to Jefferson City, Mo., and followed the" Missouri to St. Louis. From Kansas City to St. Louis the Miss-ouri bisects the state of its name. Far to the north we could see the Mississippi. It nearly paraleled the Missouri for a few miles, and then just above St. Louis we could see the junction of thhe two mighty rivers. The Mississippi - - Father of Waters, Old Man River, greatest U. S. River! The lush, fertile fields of 111., and Ind., are interlaced with-beau- t iful streams. At 12:12 we landed at Louisville, on the south bank of the Ohio. The rivers of the east are differ-ent from the turbulent mountain streams of the west. The former move placidly through the flat country. There are many of them and they serve to carry off the sur plus of water, for east of the 100th meridian more rain falls than the crops need, and mor than can soak into the ground. Yest of 100, by contrast, the streams are dammed and the stored water used to augu ment the scanty rainfall. The Co-lumbia and the Colorado went dash ing and splashing down to the sea until the Coulee and Hoover dams tamed and made them work for mankind. Our homeward flight took us again over the Ohio, the Wabash, the Mississippi, the Missouri, and countless lesser streams and then, along the Platte River which we followed across much of Neb.; and where navigation could be reduced simply to following the fine grade the Union Pacific takes between Omaha and Cheyene. .We raced three U.P. streamliners west out of N. Platte one morning. Our ground speed figured 95, and they must have been doing 90, so slowly did we pass them. . The streams dwindled as we ap-proached the mountains. We near-e- d the point where the three sys-tems originate, and we followed the Green River high in Wyoming; the upper stream of the Colorado which we had crossed eight days before far to the south. We then cut over Evanston, straight for Provo past Timanogos at 14,000 ft., and glided into Delta .to end our flight on Friday, .June 17.
