Lane, sec retary of the interior, Gov. George W. P. Hunt of Arizona and Bishop Julius W. Atwood of the Jw Episcopal church of 7 Arizona, assembled at Maricopa Po'nt on the rim of the Grand Canyon and, with Harry It. Trlttle, sou of former Gov. F. A. Trlt tle, as master of ceremonies, formally dedicated a massive monument of na tive rock, bearing a bronze tablet with a portrait in bas-relief and these words: ‘‘Erected by the Congress of the United States to MaJ. Wesley Powell, first explorer of the Colorado river, who descended the river with his party in row boats, traversing the gorge beneath this point August 17, 1869, and again September 1, 1872.” This tardy honor was paid to the leader of that little band of men who n half century before had braved the treacherous red torrent sweeping along between its rocky walls 5,000 feet below where their memorial now stands and had accomplished an un dertaking which men had called im possible. The other day another monument was erected to the Intrepid explorer, but this time it was far from the scene of exploit which brought him fame. It was on the campus of an institution of higher learning in the Middle West, Illinois Wesleyan Uni versity at Bloomington, 111., of which Powell was an alumnus, and from which he resigned his position on the faculty In 1868 to set out on his great adventure In the Southwest. He never lost Interest >n his Alma Mater, and In later years when he was holding important scientific positions under the United Stntes government he made numerous contributions to its museum, rrhfrh .v\o ro m/vl In bis honor, So It was particularly appropriate that this year’s senior class at Wesleyan In choosing a class memorial to leave at the university decided upon a monu ment to the man who not onlj gave the first scientific impulse to that in stitution, but who often later guided and quickened that Interest. The marker stands at the south entrance of the main building of the university and bears this inscription: In honor of Major J. M. Powell, professor of natural science, Illi nois Wesleyan University, 1865- 68. Explorer of the Grand Can yon of the Colorado, 1867-1872. Erected by the Class of 1923. The feat which provided the inspira tion for the erection of these memo rials in widely separated parts of the country was «one of the »w*t brilliant in the history of American explora tion and Indirectly it gave to the American people one of their finest national parks. Today the citizen of the United States irho has not seen the Grand canyon has even begun to “See America First,” but up to the time of Pswell’s exploration of the Colorado river not one American in a hundred thousand had gazed upon its wonders. The first white man to view the awe-inspiring chasm was Don Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, a lieutenant of Coronado, who visited It about 1540, long before the first English-speaking peoples had settled on the Atlantic coast. But for the next 250 years, the canyon, hidden away in an almost inaccessible part of the country and surrounded by a vast desert, attracted little attention. It may have been visited by some of the wandering free trappers who were pushing their way into every corner of the West within a score of years after the Louisiana HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH.

In that month James O. Pattle, who with his brother Sylvester Pattle made the first overland trip to Cali fornia (incldentlly antedating General Fremont, the famous “Pathfinder,” by nearly two decades), stood upon the rim of the canyon. He came not to admire, as is the custom of travelers today, but to curse the precipitous walls because they prevented his crossing the Colorado in his westward journey. Besides there were no beaver to be trapped on the arid plateau above the canyon and Pattie’s party was a little band of trappers. So they followed along the east bank of the river for 300 miles before they could find a crossing. Pattie’s visit is one of historical record but no more, for the existence of the canyon did not receive official recognition until 1857, when It was mentioned In a report on the navigability of the Colorado made to the War department by Lieutenant Joseph C. Ives (later a colonel in the Confederate army). Nor was much more heard of it for another ten years and Powell deter mined to dispel some of the mystery surrounding the gigantic gorge by ex ploring the Colorado river and making scientific studies of that region. So he resigned his professorship at Illi nois Weslyan and, backed by that in ‘ptfptton,. nnd the Chicago Academy of Sciences, he departed for the Wesi to organize his expedition. The whole Story of that thrilling trip is too long to be told here. Fortunately its perils and achievements have been ade quately chronicled by Frederick S. Dellenbaugh, one of the three surviv ing members of the party and now an author of note, in his book, “Breaking the Wilderness.” Late in Mdy, 18G9, Powell assem bled his party in Wyoming on the Green river, which, by junction with the Grand river, forms the Colorado, and started out with these ten men in four open boats to float down the river. Long before they reached the Grand canyon they had lost one of their boats and with it most of their instruments and a large part of their provisions. They had set out with ten months’ supplies but they were now reduced to a ten days’ supply of musty flour, a few’ dried apples and an abundance of coffee. Undaunted j>y the experiences they bad already gone through they entered the can yon and on August 17 floated past the point where their memorial now stands. For the next two weeks they strug gled with the raging river, in constant danger of death from whirlpools and falls. They lost another boat, but kept on. Two or three days before they succeeded In passing through the canyon three of the party became dis heartened and abandoned the expedi tion. only to meet their deaths at the hands of hostile Indians. This was the only loss of life on the whole trip of three months. Powell was not sat isfied with just one trip through the canyon and three years later he re peated the experiment, this time with less privation than his party had ex perienced on their pioneer journey. Powell’s exploits aroused popular interest, in the grand canyon. In ISSG Benjamin Harrison, then a senator from Indiana, introduced a bill creat ing the Grand Canyon National park. At that time the national park system was still in Its beginning. Congress In 1832 had set apart the “Hot Springs Reservation” in Arkansas. It had, in 1564, granted the Yosemite Valley to California for a state park. It had in 1872 created Yellow’Stone —the first national park In the world. But Ari zona was a wild Indian country to the American people and the canyon was inaccessible by railroad. So the bill died. In 1908 President Roosevelt pro claimed the Grand canyon a national monument and left it in control of the recently-organized forest service of the Agricultural department, which was in charge of the newly-established national forests. By that time a rail road spur had been run to the South Rim. Visitors became increasingly numerous and each became a personal publicity agent for the canyon. Popular demand on congress for a national park act became insistent and nation-wide, but politics blocked the establishment of the Grand Can yon National park until. 1919 —just fifty years after Maj. John Wesley Powell had risked his life in bringing to the country’s attention one of the wonders of the world. All of Pow’ell’s claim to fame does not, however, rest upon his career as an explorer. He had a good record as a soldier in the Civil war. Born in New York in 1834, the son of a Meth odist minister, and educated at Ober iin, Illinois COi'iege ii-h.;’ IsAG'-.-G’ ii -- leyan, he was teaching school in Illi nois at the outbreak of the war. He Immediately enlisted as a private in the Twentieth Illinois volunteer in fantry and although he lost his right arm at the battle of Shiloh, he con tinued in the service to the end of the war, coming out of it as lieutenant colonel of the Second Illinois artillery. Then he returned to Wesleyan to teach science, in which he had spe cialized In college, and remained there until 1868. The result of the Colorado river ex ploration was the appointment of Powell as director of the United States geological survey, a position which he held until 1875. But his greatest contribution to science was In the capacity of founder and direct or of the bureau of American eth nology which was organized In 1879 and placed by congress under the supervision of the Smithsonian insti tution. Powell set about his work with characteristic energy and began the task of classifying the entire ethno logical field of America and selecting those subjects that seemed to require immediate attention. In addition to directing the work of the bureau, he continued his writings and some of them, notably his “Indian Linguistic Families of America,” are among the most valuable studies ever made In the field of ethnology. He was ac tively In charge of the bureau until his death September 23, 1*902. The in calculable value of the studies of the vanished and vanishing races of Americans, made by the institution which he molded, to the United States government in dealing with the abo rigines and to the enuse of science In general is a greater memorial to John Wesley Powell than any marker of stone and bronze can ever be.
