were held up by red skins. Were you
held up by the store keepers en-
route?" Then there was much laugh

that he had taken two weeks to cross
the trail but had spent a good deal
of time en- route interviewing old pio.

"Of course, we have not the good

have in your state for roads but we
hope to do much in time"
