The article by J. W. Powatt explores the Colorado Desert and Gulf of California region, detailing ancient delta formation, river dynamics, and desert basins. It cites the Colorado River's shifting path, the formation of the gulf, arid climate, and the potential for limited irrigation in select basins. It also discusses Death Valley and Great Basin features, mining versus agriculture, and tropical fruits in suitable pockets.

Destruction of Colorado River Delta and Desert Expansion

In a Social Gossip scene from Hanlon Courier, bridesmaids Kate Vaughn and Aggie Morton overhear chatter about Mrs West's rumored Rhine stone star, a long whispered tale of a New York lover, and divide over whether the jewel is real.

Cannibalism in Congo and West of the Mississippi Cook tale

A bank of readable fragments recounts an Indian Territory camp where a rival cook named Mac proves his mettle by forcing a mutinous crew to eat his biscuits. The tale ends with Mac remaining with the outfit for months as the best cook west of the Mississippi. Separate dispatches report cannibalism in the Congo Free State near Stanley Falls, where natives attacked by an armed expedition suffered heavy losses and later Bahuma tribes faced renewed cannibal practices and executions.
