The Deer's Kingdom

While our one man. with the help OF
the rancher and his son. saddled and
packed We sat on the porch talking
with the women folks and admiring the
eastern hills. We heard how the hunt
ers trained eye sometimes discerned
deer moving in the manzanita and scrub
oak that extended the length of the op-
posite mountain, from the rocky slide
at the south. topped by smokelike col
umns of the digger pine, to the north.
where the hills fold into dark waves,
rich with the many greens of Douglas
spruce, fir. cedar, oak and sugar pine.
My boys bring us in a deer now and
then," the rancher's wife said, with In
excusable note of pride. Then she re-
lated how the second son, tall, hand
some fellow still in his teens. loved his
horse and his gun. He had killed four
bears and had stopped counting the
deer and lesser victims to his aim
Afterward, when we went to mount our
horses, we saw his last trophy. a still
moist cubskin stretched for drying on
the hard floor.
Near the barn gate leads to an old
trail. which. Indian wise. goes over the
hill tops, and. like an Indian family, we
filed along Each saddle horse carried
a grown person and child. excepting
the mothers horse, on whose back the
baby made small but important third.
The morning, clear and warm, filled
us with that superabundant energy
which finds vent in songs and shouts
to awaken the mountain echoes. Like
wild things we followed the trail up
and down over two hills and out on
the mountain side above the oft en-
countered Browns creek.
In spite of frequent descents we
wound Steadily higher and through a
variety of changing country. Some
times we went into valleys where the
white and black oaks grew straight
among conifefs. and then we skirted
the brushy mountain side bristling with
the grasping branches OF scrub oak,
mountain mahogany and deer brush.
Once we crossed the creek, flowing
like a millrace through a narrow
bowider lined gorge, and met it again
where it Strengthened itself along the
base of Mount Chan Chilula. Too high
to hear the water, we knew of it's pres
ence by the line OF moisture loving
trees in the bottom OF the gorge. and
that few miles farther. at the foot
of Chan ChiIula's highest peak, we
should reach Coombs Springs.
Our songs had ceased by this time
Warmly, patiently we made the last
four miles, and silently, excepting when
our lone man remarked on the beauty
Of the TRAIL 1t was the safest he had
ever seen in all the extent OF his trail

The rest of the remark was lost in a
cloud of dust thrown back by the
wheels OF the blackboard as it pro-
gressed from the rocky valley road to
the softer earth of the grade leading
south along the bank OF Weaver creek
toward Trinity river. To tho left hills
rose high above US; on the right the
bank sloped precipitously down to the
creek, on the other side of which a mar
row field of alfalfa stretched to the
opposite wall OF hills. Over US long
branches of hazel, deer brush and su-
mac hung from the top of the grade
and under us stretched solid but un-
comfortably narrow roadbed.
Along the first seven miles we passed
many worked out claims, an occasional
abandoned cabin, rusty IS inch water
pipe that had cost small fortune
in its day of usefulness, besides end
less heaps of rocks, the skeletons of
the auriferous hills of the past, white
and dry as the buffalo bones on the
plains, giving out to the evening air
stored heat of thermometer bursting
days. The alfalfa across the creek
looked contrastingly cool, as cool as If
aware that alfalfa hay brings $50
ton in mining regions.
