The Second Neihart.

Lower Sheep creek as Il camping resort.
This fact deeply impresses the v~isitant
upon his first entering its shady soil
tudcs, and ere he has traversed its
curves and V he is forced to call
it THE Second Neihart' from the num-
erouS camps of our citizens in that por-
ton of the moral vineyard.
1t will be remembered that the b and
NJ Commercial company two years ago
constructed three massive dams along
this creek, to aid in driving logs to the
channel of Smith river whence they
were easily taken to the monstrous saw
mill at Great Falls. The last dam is
situated at the mouth Of the canyon
proper, which, steep and narrow, leads
the water of this crystal stream for the
last eight miles to Smith river. A short
to the first camp. Here Geo. Falli9an
and his amiable wife and family are
opNll'lIS llt SulIlilltl' MIS-. -AlItlf
Piersc and Mrs. William Harrison and
Billie Stark are also of the company and
ample quarters have they to accommo-
date Their visiting friends. Tents. bow
ers, and airy, shady apartments they
have constructed until their parlors, sit
ting rooms, with natures tcte-a-tetes,
and dining quarters are arranged in the
perfection of aesthetic taste and beauty.
Fine spring water quenches their thirst;
all the riches of nature furnishes them
with catablcs, and their mail is received
daily at Woolsey's post Office eight
miles away, whence it is brought on
horse back.
A few hundred feet away, but lower
down the canyon is another camp no
less fitted by nature and no less admir-
ably furnished by the hand of its pleas
ure-secking occupants. Here G. s..
Baily, O. n. Holt and Charles Braman
with their estimable wives are peace
fully esconsed in summer quarters away
from the busy din Of Il crowded city.
They calmly pursue the avocations of
life in their quiet way, about two hours
each day being required to rustic the
fish, butter and eggs necessary with their
abundant supply of store grub to furn-
ish the camp richly. They visit the
upper camp, use the same wash tub, and
borrow and lend in all respects as good
neighbors should. w. J. Smith makes
his home at the lower camp and we pre-
sume his estimable wife would also be
there if he had even succeeded in acquir-
ing such a parsonage.
The stag party whose names appeared
in last weeks HERALD pitched their
tents and fought flies and pismires
only Il mile below. A dainty nook
was theirs and it seemed that even
the bugs and mosquitoes had got onto
its peculiar adaptability as "A resort.
The horse flies came in lcgions. They
declared possession by priority Of loca-
ton, and for five days our party on
tested their right as brave, good men
should. We slapped and butchered the
husky CAD fly throughout the day, and
smoked furiously all night to keep off
the mosquitoes. We did not surrender
to the invaders as some might suppose.
We simply grew tired of camp life and
came home to get ointment to pour or
our swollen and bug eaten forms. Ii the
author of nature ever created an insect
to poster humanity which he did not
turn loose to range at large in Sheep
creek valley we would like to get its
name so as to list it in our new category
of C~oleoptera.
After pitching a capacious tent it is
not long till all the flies and vermin &C
inside to enjoy its cool recesses and aft
er the transmigration has taken place
the tourist can sit i'm the sunlight undis.
