The Hiak Klatawas have made
their fifty-three mile hike.

Miss Randall. Mrs. White and
Mrs. Fry left the ferry slip at
four O'Clock Friday afternoon,
carrying blankets and lunch.
They then went straight up the

per all "hit the hay" Ghost
stories were told with much
laughing and talking until a very
late hour. At tabout three O'Clock
the hikers were all awake and
the talking renewed. But be-

biscuits to disappear. Because

Arriving there at one O'Clock,
their hunger was pacihed by
lunch. then post cards were sent
as evidence TO the doubters in
st. Johns that the Klatawas had
reached their destination. The
return walk 10 Orenco was en-
livened by an occasional straw
berry bed. and well loaded
cherry trees. A meal of baked
potatoes. beans. bread and coffee
soon made the hikers forget all
about the twenty-five miles of
travel. A number of the girls
then went TO the city" for the
next days supplies. Sleep was
not long in coming that night
and the ghost stories were left
in the most thrilling places.
The next morning a bounteous
Ofeoklasl OF phncakcS, eggs ana
bacon. was eaten and all made
ready for the return tramp. AZ
two O'Clock a brisk fire was built
at the road side around which
the girls spent an hour or so
roasting weinies and marshmal-
