OF snow, and the mountain appear

precipice hundreds of feet below,

leaving the summit we descended
for nine miles to Newsome Creek,
then we ascend again for ten miles.
At 6 o'clock we stopped at Mud
Spring Station for supper. We
were yet twelve miles from Elk
and another summit to cross.
After supper we borrowed lantern
and resumed our trip. Nothing of
Importance occurred until, in the
dark, and the storm almost blind

drift about fifteen feet deep. Igot

but few horses, no matter how
good they are, that will go into

track about four to six inches
wide, made by the sled and the
hoofs of the horses, that is kept
packed by constant travel, and if
the horse or man steps off this
narrow track he may 60 down for
ten or twenty feet. On our way
out we were just behind the stage

turned over, and as the passengers

saw anything of the kind would

they slid into the snow until you
could see nothing of them but their

Judge Dearing is a candidate
for reelection to the position
which he has ably and accepta-

no competitor has appeared, and
it is quite likely he will be NOM
mated without contest. A good
lawyer and an impartial admin
istrator of justice, he has won
golden opinions from all, regard
less of political conviction. This
is not said in the way of fulsome
flattery, but because the truth

with patience, with hope for bet

a distance of five miles up the

Rocky Mountains, being about
1000 feet above sea level, and 1000
feet above the beautiful Camas

ANNUAL BARBECUE OF MONT
 GoMERY EMPLOYES.
Council Agrees That It Shall Take Place at Jackson's Lake in May--committee is
 Named.

| The members of the municipal govern ment of Montgomery will have their an- Eual outing and barbecue at Jackson s Lake some time in May.
 A committee composed of President Mc- Irtyre of the Council, Aldermen Teague. Maddox and Sullivan Is arranging the details of the outing. The committee was appointed at a special meeting of the Council last night From now until the fateful day the committee will be burdened with tho onerous duties of at tending to the many details of the en- tertainment which contribute to its suc- cess.
 At the meeting of the Council last night President Mcintyre reminded the Alder men that the time was approaching for the annual gathering and it was up to the Council to take some action. With the consent of the Council he said he would appoint a committee to take charge of the entertainment. On that committee he named Aldermen Teague Maddox and Sullivan.
 Alderman Teague asked to be excused from serving upon the committee.
 Does the Council excuse Alderman Teague from duty on the committee?" asked President Mcintyre
 A loud chorus of ''noes" came from the aldermen and Alderman Teague sat down smiling
 Alderman Kohn suggested that the Council add the name of the president to the committee and the Council unani- mously accepted the suggestion.
 After the Council had adjourned the aldermen remained in their seats to dis cuss the arrangements for the entertain ment. They were of one mind on two points concerning the entertainment, first. that 1t should be a barbecue and second that it should be held at Jack sons Lake. Having settled this much they left everything else to the commit tee.
