CHAMBERS CLEANED UP
Dr.. seabury has Finished his Work and
will 60 from here to the Experiment
Farm at Laramie

From present indications CLAN
ders are n thing of the past in this
valley, DR.. Seabury having dis
charged all horses that have been
brought to him within the past
two weeks ms free from all signs
of the disease. The last horses
tested-two belonging to G.. NJ.
Scribner and three to W. l.. kuy-
kendall-were sent away Sunday
as sound.
This last batch about cleans up
all that have been exposed to the
disease. There may be "A few
cases scattered throughout the
valley. and it may be necessary
for the doctor to return here in
the curse of five or six months
and destroy n few head. But this
is only guess work. founded on
the supposition that some diseased
horses have escaped the drag-net
of DR.. Seabury's inquisition. 1t
is generally believed, however.
that the valley is now entirely
free from the disease.
Should the disease show itself
again, at any place in the valley,
it will be recognised at once, so
thorough has been the knowledge
concerning it disseminated among
stockmen. Every one will now
be on the watch for il. and if it
appears it will be reported at
once.
From here DR.. Seabury will go
to the Experiment Farm at Lara
mic, where the disease is report
ed to have broken out. The doc
tor was there the first of this year
and destroyed a few head of in
fected animals. Among the ami
mails exposed was "Bismark," one
of the Coach Stations belonging
to the Farm. 1t is now quite
certain that he has the disease
and will have to be killed. How
many more animals have become
inocculated through him is hard
to say, but DIR. SeabuIy will test
all that have been exposed.

After refreshing ourselves with

er, onr party took alate start down
ward. Taking the first canyon
south of the peak, downward into
the shadow of the pines, We went
with a rush, often following the
example of Mr.. B. of a sudden
slide over the slippery pine need
dies, only stopping when some
friendly rock, or pine gave us safe
footing. This canyon is indeed
beautiful. The pines towering
above us, the little rill, ever grow
ing larger, rs itiumped laughing
ly with us, over the rocks, down,
ever down, to the valley. Here
and there we saw patches of blue
berries, and now and then agrouse
making a dainty meal on them.
Are we nearly down. or How
much farther is it?" was again
and again family asked by the
tired ones in the party, ever be-
fore we we're well started on the
descent. On down we went and
soon found ourselves in a grand,
glorious canyon, with great mas
sive rocks on all sides, while the
little rill, now grown to be quite a
brooklet, kept us company, though
now and then disappearing down
among the rocks. Like the brook
we, too, could neither turn to the
right or left. SO we plunged on
down into the dark pines and
great boulders, working our way
with the murmurlng of the little
brook for a guide. Here it foams
into sight; there it leaps over a
huge rock. making a beautiful
waterfall, while there again it
softly murmurs over a messy bed
and all the time charming one as
only Nature can charm. Now it
quiets iteslf and, joining hands
with its brother brooks, on the
North and South, it forms what
is called Bush" creek, to flow on
into Pass creek.
Darkness begins to gather now,
and the hearts of the timid quake
and wonder if there is still some
robber hiding behind the rocks or
trees. or if some bear, or mountain
lion may not be lurking near. A
bend in the canyon walls and nil
fear is dispelled, for there is the
sight of u welcome camp fire,
which the heet-footed boys of the
party, who, speeding ahead, have
kindled for our comfort.

are lame, and all tired, while some
