A Joint resolution of congress proposes a "Gt eater Colorntlo." This Ik to he done by adding -12.'! miles of stream. This nddltlon Is to he ncoonipllslied hy changing to Colorado the inline of the Grand river from Its source nt'ur Itoeky Mouutnln Nntlonnl park In northern Colorado to Hk Junction with the Green river In southeastern Utnh. The Grand nnil Green rivers together make the Colo rado river. Hie Grnnd Is 423 miles long from Its source to Its Junction with the Green. Eighty miles of this stream's length la In Utnh. The Green rises Just aouth of YellowBtono Nntlonnl pnrk In northwest ern Wyoming and Is 700 miles 'long to Its Junction with the Grnnd. The Colomdo, from Utnh to the Gulf of California, Is 1,000 miles long. Though the Green Is nenrly twice ns long ns the Grund, the Grand cnrrles the greater volume of water. Moreover, the Green runs 115 miles through the northwestern comer of Colorado and receives much of Ita volume from Colorado. It Is, therefore, contended by Colorado that the Grand ts the renl upper Colorado and that the Green Is a tributary. It Is the people of Colorado who are behind the Joint resolution for the chnngc of nnme. With them It appears to be n matter of deep sentiment. Representative E. T. Taylor of Colorado, speaking to the Joint resolution, said: "Mr. Speaker, for the pnst 8.r yenrs my home has been nnd Is now In the beautiful little city of Glcmvood Springs. Colo., on the banks of what has heretofore been called the Grund river, the principal tributary and, In fact, the main stream of the Colorndo river, nnd during all those years I have always hoped and believed that sometime the state pride of the sons and daughter of our beloved commonwealth would bring about the change of the name of that stream to Its rightful nnme, ns the source and principal part of that wonderful river, and permit our citizens to fondly nnd proudly welcome the greatest river in our tate as our great state's stream tinder the nnme that Is dearest to every CoJoradan heart. And with the passage of this resolution thnt hope of many yenrs, not only of my own, but thousands o' other Colorndans, will be consummated." At Its hHt session the Colorado legislature pnsscd n bill ofllclnlly changing the name of the Grand from Grand to Colorado, within the state boundaries. A bill was Introduced In the Utah legislature nt the last session to change the name of the Grand from Grnnd to Colorado within the boundaries of Utnh. The Utnh legislature d'd not act on the bill and will not meet again for two years. In the meantime, inasmuch ns the Colorado Is an Interstate and International stream nnd Is classed as navigable, It has bceji decided that the change In name should bo brought about by net ofcongresH rather thun by action of the stntes. Moreover, the Colorado bulks large In the public eye just now ns n nntlonnl river of tremendous Importance. Already water power and Irrigation projects of great Importance the Imperial valley In California, for example mark the course of the river. Projects under discussion are appar ently of still grcnter Importance the proposed Moulder dam across the Colorado Just below the Grand canyon, for Instance. This project mny bo undertaken by the federal government. It would be the most spectncular work of Its kind In the world nnd would cost anywhere between forty and scvcnty-tlvo millions. Tho Colorado Is a mighty river beyond doubt. Many rivers unite to form It. Tho principal branches of the Green nro the Ulntn, Price.

Tho Grand Canyon National park encloses 217 miles of the river, which In places Is 0,000 feet below the rim of the canyon. Tho lower Colorado runt, through a low desert country. At Yuma, on the Mexican line, ts nn Immense Irriga tion project which consists of n diversion dam nearly n mile long, 400 miles of cjannls nnd 70 miles of dikes and cost about $5,000,000. The water Is carried to Arizona lands by n thousand foot tunnel, which passes under the river. Helow Yumn the river, when In flood, inundates large areas lying below sen level. In 1005 the floods enlarged tho 50-foot Intake of the Imperial valley (California) Irrigation cnnnl In Mexican, territory to 2,000 feet. It poured nil Its waters through this break and Its rcgulnr channel to the Gulf of California went dry. This break was not successfully closed until 100007. Floods again threatened to drown out the Imperial valley and In 1009-10 a congressional appropriation of $1,000, 000 was applied to the construction of levees nnd dikes. Tho wntera of tho Colorado hero run In a huge aquedtrct, which thq river hns built up for Itse! from silt. This nnucduct cut the port to the north off from the Gulf of California.

NVii; ozf step ($&m ivvpfcj. An Intel estlug featuie of the discussion of the Joint resolution was the bringing out of the his tory of the Colorado river and the eurly American Southwest In concise nnd accurate form. This was set forth In n report furnished by George Otis Smith, director of the geological survey on the history of the naming of the Colorndo, Grand and Green rivers and of the state of Colorado. This report explains how the Colorado came to bear no less than nine nnmes between ir40 nnd 1770. It also sets forth how the Green river came to be known ns tho "Ghost river" to geographers. Among the facts brought out nre these; It wns the Coronado expedition of 1510-42, sent out by Viceroy Mendoza, that first explored the pueblo country of New Mexico and Arizona and the Great Plains ns far northeast us central Kan sas and discovered the Colorado river nnd the Grand canyon. Alarcon discovered the Colorado at its mouth and gave It tho name of Itlo de Huenn Oula (good guide) because that was Men dozn's "device." Diaz, traveling nlong the river, saw the Indians carrying burning brands with which to warm themselves; so he named It Itlo del Tlzon (llrehrnnd). Cardenas discovered the Colorado at tho Grand ennyon, but for some rea son refrained from naming It, probably Itecauso soon afterward It was identified with the Itlo del Tlzon. So the Coronado expedition gave the Colo mdo Its two llrst names. The Coronado expedition was disappointing nnd It was not until 15S1 that an expedition under Itodrlguoz revisited the region. This revived In terest In the conquering and settling ol New Mexico. The contract for the conquest nnd settlement was finally awarded in 1505 to .limn de Onnte. who was made governor, adelnntndo and captain general of the Uiwvlnce of New Mexico. In 1508, Onate reached the Santa Fe region with an army and n colony of 400 men, of whom 130 hud their families. Onate ruled New Mexico until 1C05. Ity 1G05 lie nnd his subordinates had rccxplorcd practically all the ground covered by Coronado and opened new trails. In 1C04 ho made a jour ney from Snn Gabriel, his headquarters near Santa Fe. to the bend of the Gulf of California. He went by way of Zunl, Moqul and Williams river to the Colorado and down the enst bank of that river to the gulf. Crossing tho Colorado Chlqulto, or llttlo Colorado "10 leagues" southwest of Moqul, ho named It "Itlo Colorado because tho water Is nearly red." Ho It noted that the name "Colorado" Is hero given for the first lime, not to tho Colorado river but to one of Its branches, the Little Colorado. To the Colorado Itself, Onato gave the name "Itlo Grande de lluemi Espernnza" (good hope). At some Indefinite ttmo during the next hundred years tho name Colorado was transferred from the Little Colorado to the main river, and before the end of the century had been pretty wWI estab lished. Father Kino, the great Plmnn apostle, 10S.1-1711, uses the name, freely, ns ho does the alternative name Itlo del Norte; and he even be stows upon It n new nnme, Rio de los Apostoles, A revolt of tho Pueblo Indians In 1080 resulted In the entire evacuation of Now Mexico by the Spaniards until Its rcconquest by Vergns In 1092 04, when most of the mlsstons wero reestablished also. San Diego, tho first of tho California mis sions, was estnlJIshed In 1709; and In the next 80 yenrs 17 others had been established, dotting the coast from Snn Diego to Snn Francisco bay. Father Sllvestro Velez de Escalante, then sta tioned nt the Zunl mission, spent eight days at Moqul In June, 1770, trying to discover whether there was an Indian trull across the Grnnd canyon. Ho failed to extract any Information from the Indians and concluded that tho canyon was Im passable. In a letter on the subject written to Fnthor Gnrces August 18, 1775, ho culled the river or the ennyon Rio Grnndo do los Cosuluos. Tho Cosulnn (Huvusupul) Indians were settled on Cataract creek. The next year, 1770, Careen him self traveled from Mohave to Moqul, and went Into the Grand ennyon nt the bend below the Lit tle Colorado on June 20. He named the canyon Puerto de Hucarelt (Rucarell's pass) In honor of the then viceroy. Grand river, both nbove nnd below Its Junction with Gunnison river, wns named H!o San Rufacl by Fathers Domjnlguez nnd Escalante In 1770. To the south branch, the present Gunnison river, they gave the name Itlo San Jnvler (Xavler) and re Iorted the Ute Indian name as Tomlchl. In thin area Pike's maps, 180507, like other early maps, are dllllcult to Interpret. Ills "Rio do los Animas" (las Animas) Is much more like Grund river than his "Rio San Rafael." In 184.'! Fremont lettered It Grand river, as did Captain Stansbury in 1840. Rut for long years the maps showed grent di versity of nomenclature. Ilelow Its Junction with the Gunnison, this river was usually called Grand river, rarely Rio Colorado or Grand nnd even Colorado. Above the Junction It was called Grand, Rtinknrn, Hlue nnd North Fork of Grand river. Gun nison river was named variously Eagle, Eagle Tall, South Fork of Grand, Grande nnd Grand river. In after yenrs Captain Gunnison's name became gradually tlxcd on the branch which he explored, and the name Grand on the north or main branch, while the name Hlue river now describes a small south branch of the latter In Summit county, Colorado. Green river wns called Rio de San Ilttonn Ven tura by Domlnlguez nnd Escalante In 1770, and Escalante mys (Dlnrlo, Sept. 17, 1770), that it wns so named In 170U by Fr. Alnuso de Posada. Thinking that It flowed to the west, the map mak ers represented It us crossing the Great basin and flowing Into the Pacific ocean. Thus It wns tliht the River Huenaventurn became the famous "ghost river," which for years haunted the maps of tho fnr West. Pike. 1805 07, mapped It with headwaters In the position of upper Green river, having nn aflluent,- Rln de Snn Clcmente (Escalante's name for White river, nn enst branch of the Green riv er;, nnd flowing southwest Into Sevier lake (name less). Hefore 1811, however, upper Green rlcr was known to be connected with the Colorado. The Astorlans called It both Spanish river and Colorado river. It was called Rio Colorndo bv Jededlah S. Smith In 1824 and Rln Colorndo of the West by Wllllnm H. Ashley In 1825. Uonn vUIe, 18117, loitered It Colorndo of the West on his map of the territory west of the Rocky Mountains. The name Green river dates nt least ns far bnck as 1824. Dale refers to a news Item In the Missouri Intelligencer, June 25, 1825, of n party leaving Snntn Cni7. In November, 1824, to trap on "Green river." Fremont says that the Spaniards, contrasting "Its timbered shores nnd green wooded Islands with its dry sandy plains," named It It'c Verde (Green river) ; Rancroft speaks of nn em ployee of Ashley's, "Mr. Green who gnve his name to Gfcen river"; nnd Chittenden advances the theory that tho name may have been suggested by the color of the wnter. Tho act of congress providing for the organiza tion of tho territory of Colorado was approved Februnry 28, 1801. As Introduced nnd ns passed by tho house, the bill named the propoed new organization the territory of Idaho "Idaho" hav ing been selected from many names proposed. In tho senate, on motion of Senntor. Wilson of Mas sachusetts, the name of the territory was nmcndw by striking out "Idaho" and Inserting "Colorndo," This wns done nt the suggestion of Delegnte Wil liams, for the reason thnt the Colorado river arose In Its mountains, hence there was n peculiar fit ness In the nnme. Rancroft, however, says that "The name Colomdo was given to It at tho suit gestlon of the man (Wlll'nm Gilpin) selected for Ita llrst governor"; nnd he quotes from a manu script of Gilpin's as follows: "Some wnnted It called Jefferson, some Arcndla. I said the people huvo to a great extent nnmed tho stntes after the grent rivers of the country, and the great feature of thnt country Is tho great Colorado river. 'Ah.' said he (Wilson of Mossuchusetta), that Is It'; and he named It Colorado." v4!Hai ltflwfti Hw. rJBm tefPllllS) mm LULLI .rrToLiH AM aLJl II " u 111 a. iV IJfl i Your New Home should be made artistic, sanitary and livable.
