enough Ior supper. The President was
gone until nearly dark. He walked up
through many bands of elk. studying them
at his leisure and made twenty-five miles
during the day. getting well up above the
500 foot line. :, 't. ....
On Monday the party moved from Camp
Roosevelt. Major Pitcher was pevturbed

the President would catch sight Of a fool

Billy Hofer on Thundsy ACCOMPLISHED
his greatest feat. He got the President,
Mr.. Burroughs. and Major Pitcher up q
mountain from which they looxed down
fields covered with Snow over which
thousands on thousands OF elk wore wan
dering in bands Of several hundred each.
The camp was nov at Tower Greek under
a band OF seven bighorn feeding ON the
apparently bare side Of the Cliff. The
President spent grea, part Of the day
marvelhng that the creatures could 80 con-
fdently reach the inoh-wide landing places
which they seemed always able TO pick out
on the face Of the decllvity when they made
their leaps. .
In order 10 get better look at them
he took ten-mile detour to the right Of the
mountain and had the fun OF seeing them
make a regular circuit leap to the razor
like edge Of bassltic rock many feet below
and resume feeding - though Presidents
never came a-bothering them.
On the last day OF this part OF his K
ploration the President went within few
miles Of Soda Butte. one Of the stations
where a non commissioned officer and
three men are marooned In October with
six months rations and are out OF communi-
cation with the public until June or July.
The men patrol for the poachers. moving
from one snowshoe station, as the caches
are called. to anoth err II is told that q
colder several years ago got away from his
station and made his way 70 Cody. Wyo.,
and the railroad and spent the winter in
Chicago without anybody being the wiser,
getting back to bis station just in time TO
report with the other outpost men.
Il was a rather difficult matter To get
anybody but Dom John TO tell Of the Presi-
dents manifesto atoms OF his enjoyment in
pursuit Of tho game. II was left for Mr..
Burroughs TO tell how the President was
