surveyors and workmen far up on the
North Fork the Great Northern people
have resorted to novel expedient, being
an adaptation of the old familiar method
OF rawhiding. Last Saturday, in response
to hurry-up order, Cocks and Nelson
made and shipped to Bolton eight "snow
boats.' These ''vehicles'' are made of
wood by mailing a bottom to two runner
shaped pieces of two by eight about eight
feet long, and then the bottom is covered
with sheet iron to prevent wear and tear.
They are to be used to haul in supplies
by small pony power, or man power,
over the snow where it is too deep for
large horses to make any progress. The
boats are each equipped with an iron
loop fastened to the rear for thrusting a
stick through to be used as a brake when
going down steep slopes. -Kalispell Jour
