note with pleasure the fact that Mr.. Gould
Is not frittering away his means during hIs
lifetime.
In the Office OF Mr. Nish, of Walton, there
e. a map OF the county made by JAY Could
while in the surveying business, and several
years before he became monarch of all he
surveyed.
In Franklin there Is an old wheelharrow
which Mr. Gould u-ei on his early surveying
trips. In this he carried his surveying in
struments, his nightshirt and manicure set.
Connected with the wheel there is ar
rangement by which at night the young sur
veyor could tell at "a glance, with the aid Of
a piece of red chalk and a barn door, just
how far he had travelled during the day.
This instrument was no doubt the father of
the pedometer aud the cyclorama, just as the
boy is frequently father 20 the man. II was
also no doubt the avant courier Of the Dutch
clock, now used on freight cabooses, which
not only shows how far the car has travelled,
but also the rate Of speed for each mile, the
average rainfall and whether the conductor
has eaten onions during the day.
This instrument has worked quite change
in railroading since my time. Years ago l
can remember when | used to ride ia a ca
boose and enjoy myself, and before good for

/ IL was my chief joy 10 catch a freight over
the hill fran Cheyenne, on the Mountain
division. We were not due anywhere until
/ the following day, and at the top Of the
mountain would cut of the caboose and
let the train 20 on We would then go into
the glorious hills and gather SAGE hens and
cotton tails. In the summer we would put
Ia the afternoon catching trout in Dale creek
or gathering maidenhalr ferns ia the bosky
dells. Boslsy dells were more plenty there at
that time than they are now.
IL was a delightful sensation 10 know that
we could loll about in the glorious weather,
secure small string Of stark, Vanished
trout with chapped backs hanging aimlessly
by one gill Ia "A CORY willow stringer and
then beat our train home by two hours by
