SOME BEAVERS SPEND
LIFE HOUSE-HUNTING
WASHINGTON, Sept, 22. —The
| highest known pinnacle of restless
; discontent is apparently not reach*
| ed in the big cities as some may
suppose, but between natural
walls even more imposing—those
of the Grand Canyon.
The epitome of thwarted beings
is the beaver of Colorado. Al
though his kind stand among an
imals as the greatest lovers of
home and community life, these
Canyon beavers spend their days
forever wandering like lost souls
between .the tempestuous river
and the rocky cliffs in search of
the Promised Land.
The oft-encountered fragments
of a lodge or dam on some side
streams disclose that the home
loving wanderers occasionally be
lieve they have at last found
peace, only to have it turn into
greater disappointment with the
arrival of spring freshets or a
storm. It is observed that only
the old beavers, burdened with
the wisdom of final disillusion
ment, content themselves with
crude dens burrowed in the bank.

The flashing beam which cut
through the heavens above and
around Seward last night was not
a display of the aurora borealis but
the beam of the cableship Dell
wood’s 40,000,000 candle-power arc
searchlight.
When the beam was played on
the surrounding hills, and particu
larly the mountain behind Seward
| proper—Bear Mountain—the green
! trees could be easily distinguished.
As a further test to the beam’s
strength when it was turned on
Mount Marathon, the top was dis
tinguishable.
When turned out over Resurrec
tion Bay, the light shone out over
|the wraters for a long distance and
one observer said that he could
! make out the two cabins over by
I Fourth of July Creek. If the moon
j had not been so bright and the
i night a little darker it is said that
the light would have shone far
ther.
The purpose of this display was
to adjust the arcs of the lamp.
One member of the ship’s crew said
that when the vessel was in the
Red Sea they picked an island over
two miles away and made it light
up just as in daylight.
Boats in port today include: U.
IS. Cableship Dellwood, SS Starr,
I Bavaria, Roy, Joan, Marian, Hell
i diver and the T-3048.
