am euro it must have beeq long years ago,
because otherwise you would not be gentle,
but wild, for walking over a skid road in
the Cascades has tendency TO make a
sucking dove wilder than a hen with four
teen chickens.
Do you know what a skid road is? Not
an ordinary skid road but a Cascade range
skid road. No? Well, let me explain. A
skid by the dictionary definition, is a log or
timber laid lengthwise on which heavy ar
ticles may be transported (or "skidded" in
the vernacular) and skid road should there
fore be one somewhat similar in effect to an
ordinary railroad; but Cascade range skid
roads are not constructed according to other
plans and the logs are laid crossways of the
road and at intervals Of say, Ave to six
feet. The roadbed Is unadulterated mud, and
the logs frcm ten to twelve inches in di-
that the horses dragging the usual skid
sleds, long, slender, low-runnered affairs,
may step between them and keep the mud
thoroughly soft and well l-churned. On new
road, that ie, one made in virgin soil, this
process usually establishes depth of from
ten to twelve inches of mud, and as it

mountain goat, but 1 am fully convinced
for my own part that IL 1 could get to the
top of a mountain by turning 1t upside
down that would most assuredly be the
way l would take to get there. How we
did come down that mountain! Carefully
enough over the rock Slides but by leaps
and bounds where the trail was soft, and
when we struck the snow what toboggan
slide it made with the reinforced seat OF
a pair of corduroy trousers for the toboggan.
Not every man in the United States was
enjoying slide in snow twenty feet deep
on that October day and it was almost
temptation to go back again and take an
other, but we resisted and hurried on to
camp, where we stretched ourselves on the
cots in a tent and for the first time We
realized that even the search for gold could
not be followed as we had followed 1t that
day without making the searchers tired,
and very tired. That night We slept In a
tent on which the rain fell softly, but we
needed no lullaby and so sound was our
sleep that not even a dream of wealth
came to disturb us.
The next day we walked that six miles
of skid again, going away from the gold
that waited in the mountains for other
hands to carry it away, and the walking
was confounded rough.

lowered the gray-rocked sawteeth and
needles OF the Cascades, the toughest noun
tains on earth.
We reached the Golden Tunnel camp in
Salmon basin at IL CLOCK, after three hours
OF steady but slippery geing, and there they
showed us dinner, close at hand and far
up the mountain, at the head OF the basin,
tiny black line across a field of snow,
which they told us was a part OF the trail
leading to the cave of gold itself, indis-
tinguishable on the face of gigantic cliff,
which seemed to rise straight up to the
sky. But it was the cave OF gold we had
come to see, FOR caves Of gold are scarce
except in books of fairy tales, and we were
not to be deferred by little thing like an
impossibility, so as soon as we had eaten
we took our alpenstocks in our hands and
began to climb. For a half mile we fol-
lowed a skid trail, till it suddenly stopped
at an ore dump, and then we went square
out upon huge rock slide and picked our
way carefully across for nearly quarter
of mile to a tangled thicket, beyond
which we're more rocks and then field of
snow.
Let me stop here long enough to say that
these rock slides, while ordinarily safe
enough, are often the most serious danger
of mountain climbing. AS the name indi-
Gates, they are slides of rock which 60 not
seem to come from anywhere but have al
ways a great supply of rocks OF all sizes,

ther than the foot of the mountain. These
rocks on an incline of 45 degrees will lie
quietly reposng until an unwary foot starts
one rolling, or gun shot or even shout,
jars one from its place and then woe to
the un,ucky climber who is out on the
slide, for he must be active indeed IL he
escapes bruises or a broken limb from the
boulders which come bouncing and jumping
and flying down upon him. These slides do
not become moving masses as are ava
lanches sweeping everything down with
them; they are merely covered with loose
stones which come rolling down by twoes

our heads and under our feet trodden there

we looked at it as critically and tossed 1t
about as one might toss potatoes In patch.
Yet IL was rich iu gold; tests had proved
that its value varied from $40 to $4,000
ton and there was 10000 tons OF II In sight
in the mountain, worth on an average $40
a ton. Probably nowhere else in the world
is there such a cave and when its lucky

the riches of the Cascade range as the people
of other times told the tale OF Golcondas

of the waters of Pactolus that dripped golden
drops from yellow sands.
We did not linger long In the cave, for
the shadows were coming down between
the lofty mountain tops and once more

THERE are several properties now offered
for sale in Omaha on which the purchaser
would make profit of some thousands of
dollars as soon as the title is conveyed
the difference between what the property
Is worth and what the owner is compelled
to sell 1t for.
It's just that difference that has made many
fortune in Omaha; there never was so
good time to take advantage of 1t as
now.
Our judgment of what property is really
worth as compared with the asking price
has been tested enough times by investors
to be trusted now.
FOR EXAMPLE
We are asked by western estate to sell
four honestly built modern dwellings,
renting for nigh $500 a year, at figure
that will pay you 10 per cent on the in
vestment. The location and accessibility
are the very best. with asphaltum paved
streets all around. $4,000 is the asking
price, which repres ents just about the cost
of the improvements We will recommend
a further whiting down of the price by a
thousand or two, and IL an offer of that
sort is dccepteu the 4hNeetiheh' "iii p''
you close TO 10 per cent net. This prop
erty has been under our personal observa-
ton since the improvements were com
pleted some seven years now, and we un-
