The Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, widely regarded as the worlds most imiHising natural wonder, has suddenly taken on a new and startling interest, liut a few years ago, when it was as inaccessible us the north jadei John Wesley lWell won lame by muking the first trip through it. A little lali'r another adventurer conceived opening a trail from the canyon's rim down to the river, a mile below. It seemed grotesque, but the impossible was accomplished and this has made the canyon's innermost wonders accessible to thousands of tourists each year. They come from all quarters of the world every season in greater numbers to traverse the Brigkt Angel trail. That trail is truly a monument to. the daring and devotion of its builder. lie worked at it far ten years, almost without help or financial backing, at one jieriod spending almost half a year alone in the vast gorge. Rut today Ralph Cameron, the builder of the Bright Angel trail and occupying a seat in the United States senate voted to him by the people of Arizona, lias his reward. Itut the conquest of the canyon had liHrdly been renlized when the engineers discovered a new use l'or it At Boulder Canyon, Ariz., the greatest dam in the world, a third of a mile high, should iniHiuiul a lake which, spreading over n great area in Arizona and Utah, would be next to Lnk Michigan, the largest fresh water body entirely within the United States.

The Boulder Canyon dan lias not yet been built, but the people of the Southwest are as confident of its construction as that the Colora lo will (ortinue to flow between its giant walls.
