t0RAN DANAs SCHEDULE

Loran Dana returned yesterday
from Pineair, where he went last
week primarily for the purpose of
taking up a load of provisions and
returning with the commissary and
equipment used in the construction of
the road.
At the outset it should be explained
that Mr. Dana is very enthusiastic
over the resort and he experienced no
difficulty in reaching it. although he
hauled a load of something lie thirty
hundred PUP the recently constructed
road. The recent rains, according to
Mr.. Dana, have been the means of
settling the decOmposed granite road
bed until the wagon wheels do not
settle in the loose material The team
used in making the trip weighs be
tween twenty-five and twenty-si
hundred pounds and is accustomed to
hard work on the road. These items
are given in passing so that no one
will attempt to make the trip with a
load drawn by small horses unaccus-
toned to pulling. 1t is not the pur-
pose of this article to detract from
the Pineair resort. but rather to state
the true conditions so that people who
desire to make the trip may be pos
sessed of the information which will
enable them to make the necessary
preparation before starting. In the
event that the proper preparations
are not made before the trip is COM
menced it is only natural to suppose
that the journey will be frausht with
hardships and not little inconven-
fence. which; will in a measure de
tract from the pleasure of Il summer
vacation.

the trail. some on foot and others
on horseback. reaching the resort at
IL o clock.
The resort, according to Mr.. Dana.
is all that has ever been claimed for
it, There is plenty of game and the
temperature cannot be excelled. The
nights are cool, requiring at least
two wooden blankets and heavy VOL
en- comfort for covering.
With the necessary preparation for
making the trip without hardship to
horses, the resort can easily be
reached in three days. The directors
are anxious that as many as posi-
BILE avail themselves of the resort this
season. The trail offers no hard
ships According TO Mr.. Dana, it is
the best piece of trail building that
he has seen in the territory. He is so
much enthused over the proposition
that he expects to leave here again
Monday morning with his family with
the expectation of remaining for sew
eral days.
