what it should be when dry, and q grcascd rope is even weaker We learned that out west years ago and lots of times had to wait n day or two for dry weather rather than have the rope break. causing q sickcning sight.
 1Ou also did wrong to use q railroad bridge over the river. In ca>o of acci- dent you and your friends arc left to probe 25 miles of river with pike pole all day in the hot sun while the accused is very likely making q wet trail across the Indian Territory line. Good manilla rope kept dry for that purpose and six feet fall from cottonwood limb SCncr- ally yield no opportunity for adverse criticism. while in plumb prairie country q railroad tie across from one freight car to another gives a l;ood sup port for the rope. Sometimes you will find serious drawbacks. of course. in these little impromptu affairs. but love will find a way.
