hunters, Bill is great walker. On
tho last OF a threc-day trip he once
made through the mountains TO Den

stead from contest. he covered sixty
six miles over the Continental divide
in twenty-five hours, and then went TO

that Is the feature OF q face. The
fact that he would take the stages
out through the SHOWS after other
men had abandoned them was what
brought him to the attention OF the
telephone company.

told him that two men who had tried
10 shoot some trouble from the far

deplore the steady obliteration OF old

Ideas and to Increase It's s0lubrity Is
that these changes have been made
In the interests OF the public. Since
1855 the Paris municipality has open

had accomplished In the Bois by the
