THE GRAND CANYON
"Tourists that have circled the
globe are unanimous that "The
Grand Canyon of the Colorado" is
the worlds greatest spectacle. Ten
thousand pens havs endeavored to
desdribe tit- tarir-vcle bf miraclee
but in rain. Words cannot over-tell
tt or half toll it, a great Frenchman
who toured our country said as he
beheld the canyon: "Is any 200'
miles of mother earth that I have
known as fearful aad full of God?"
On next Sunday the Rev. H. G.
Dooley, who visited the canyon in
Arizona this summer, wiU lecture on
this phenomenon and the lectun
will be supplemented by beautiful
motion pictures. By request Rev.
Dooley will also demonstrate two
dances that are annually practiced
by the western Indians, namely the
"Sun Dance" and the "Rattle Snake
Dance," both of which an religious
dances but horribly associated with
superstition. The public is cordially
invited to enjoy the evening. The
Hour is 7.30. Prof. Hanbaugh of Altoona has kindly consented to operate the machine for the pictures.
—Old timers say the depression
of 1981 and 1082 hi hardly to be
compared to the panic of 1853, 18-
78 and 1898. The one in 1878 when
the J. A. Cooke company went to
