THE EXPLORATION OF THE COLO RADO. The town of Green River, Wyoming, is one or the most mterestin drain age systems in America. The river rises about 200 miles farther north and at the railroad crossing is a streani of considerable size, having an average flow of 2,200 cnbic feet a second. About 540 miles farther south it ioins Grand River to form the Colorado. which, after winding through more than a thousand miles of the most won derful canyon scenery in the world. reaches the Gulf of California. From the town of Green River Maj. J. W. Powell, afterwards Director of the United " States Geological Survey, started May 24, 1869, with his little company of daring associates to ex plore the canyons of the Colorado. The story of the trip is well known, but from the simple, unimpassioned language in which Maj. Powell him self tells it, the reader might not real ize that this was one of the most haz ardous undertakings in the history of modern exploration. Few have eared to undertake the adventure since, and some of those have paid for their tem erity with their lives. The journey has recently been succssfnlley repeated however, bv two photographers. Ells worth and Emery Kolb. who on Sep tember.8, 1911, also started from Green River and, after numerous adventures, emerged from the canyons with a valu able collection of negatives and mov ing-picture films.
