In the great basin between the
Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie
the ghosts of many dead lakes. Riv-
ers still flow down to the dry edge Of
these one-time great reservoirs and
are licked UP by evaporation and the
chinook winds. OF all the lakes that
once lay there, only Great Salt Lake,
Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left.
The Southern Pacific rolls for 165
miles across the bed of what was once
Lake Lahontan, and the passengers
gazing idly from the windows may see
the terraces and wrinkles in the crust
of the fossil lake which nature robbed
and defrauded of it's crystal treasures

ri S BOY and man, Col. Bryant
IN had been a soldier. AS boy
Il y his ambition had been cadet
ship at West Point, and the
army as a life career. Blessed with
wealthy parents, there seemed nothing
in the way to the accomplishment of
his ideal when the opportune time ar
rived. At Is he began a course of
study that would fit him to pass the
required examination and admit him
to the United States military acad-
emy. At 1S the opportunity came.
There was vacancy at the academy
to be filled by appointment from his
congressional district, and he entered
eagerly into the competition for the
coveted place, feeling confident of
winning the prize.
His most formidable opponent was
Billy Edwards, the son of strug-
Cling clergyman, into whose path fate
had thrown no special opportunities,
but who had improved every chance
for study that had been given him,
and who wished the appointment
merely as a means of securing a de-
sired education.
The two had never been friendly,
and on one of two occasions had had
some boyish quarrels over the atten-
tions each had attempted to be-
stow upon Blossom Nathan. When
Billy Edwards won the coveted ap-
pointment every semblance of friend
ship between the two boys ceased,
and Bob Bryant refused even to as
sociate with anyone who called young
Edwards their friend
Grievously disappointed in not win
ming the cadetship, young Bryant en-
tered military academy with deter
mination to prepare himself for
military career, trusting to his fa-
theirs wealth and influence to secure
for him an appointment to the army.
During their school days both boys
kept up correspondence with Bios

eastward for the defense of Washing
ton. Volunteers in companies, bat
talions and regiments were flocking
into the mastering camps. With the
volunteers went Bob Bryant as cap
tain of his company. With the regu-
lars sent to Washington went First
Lieut.. Edwards, while Mrs. Edwards
went back to her old home to await
the return of her husband from the
front.
The four years of war dragged wear
lily along. Lieut.. Edwards stuck to
the regular service and rose to the
rank of major, and brevet lieutenant
colonel, as which he commanded his
regiment. Capt. Bryant of the vol
unteer service rose to the rank Of
colonel.
At the battle of Gettysburg Col
Bryant was temporarily in command
of brigade stationed at Cemetery
Hill. During the first days fighting
his command in company with all
others at that point in the line of
battle had suffered severely. With
the reenforcements of the second day
came the regiment commanded by
Lieut.. Col. Edwards, and during the
fighting of that day Edwards fell
and was buried on the field.
The war over, Col. Bryant found
the wished for opportunity to enter
the regular service, and was sent to
the far west as a lieutenant of cav
airy. For IL years he followed the
trail of the red man, and then ''the
good of the service" took him to
Washington to serve for a time on
the staff of the general commanding
the army. 1t was this that account.
ed for his presence on the Gettysburg
battlefield on Decoration day, 1914.
He walked over the ground so
fiercely contested in SO and glanced
at the white headstones looking for
the name of his comrades. At each
grave there was planted 9 small flag.

Gen. Zebulon Pike was discovering
the peak that bears his name. THE
reason why know I'm the first white
man that ever saw it," he said, is
that it hasn't got any patent medicine

couldn't spare the time to stop and dis
cover the gold that lay hidden all
around him, he took a parting look at
the snowy summit of the peak and re-
sumed his toilsome march.
