brother being a wagon master. Wood
and water were scarce, and many
times our only fuel was dry buffalo
chips. At times the dread sand
storms would overtake us, when moth
ing could be cooked without its being
unfit for food. During these storms
travel was abandoned.
Hardly day passed without an In
dian fight, for the savages were con-
stantly swooping down upon the
trains, killing the freighters or driv-
ing away the stock.
Now the same journey can be ac-
complished in comparatively a few
hours in the modern palace car.
In this way I earned my first
money, and when the excitement oc.
casioned by the discovery of rich gold
fields at Alder Gulch, Mont, induced
my relatives to decide upon that as
their future home, we were among
the first to go to Virginia City. The
trip from our starting point on the
Missouri river occupied nearly three
months, and the greater part of that
time / was employed as scout for
the train, because of my knowledge
of scouting gained while with the In
dams.
For three days and nights we were
lost in the terrible bad Lands,''
without water or food, but finally
continued, our route passing through
a portion of what is now the great
Yellowstone park.
Here was a sight that will never be
witnessed again-the herds of buffalo
that roamed the prairies of the Vel
lowstone. Nothing was more feared
than stampede of buffalo. With
their heads down, for the buffalo does
not look up, they would go pell-
nell over the plains, and should even
a high river bank be reached they
would continue on their mad race,
trampling to death all who fell be-
meath.
have seen buffalo so thick that
we would be compelled to stop our
train and shoot among them to
brighten and drive them away before
we could camp. The earth at times
seemed to tremble beneath their
tread, but to-day all that remains as
a reminder of those great herds of
noble beasts are few domestic herds.

Owing to the gathering of so many diff

terror walls of churches, schoolhouses, hos

disease germs unless preventive measures
are taken. These walls should always be
coated with clean and pure cement, such

nature and more convenient to renew and

The majority of the names that you
