train has his own mount, so there are
| remainder-fifty animals--carry the
packs. The duties Of the bell horse
are to lead the procession.
AS a general thing, each pack mule
will walk away with a minimum load
of $50 pounds. SO that means some
thing more than six tons OF cargo to
the train, and If need be the cargo
can be raised to eight tons.
Over in the Philippines one Of Mr..

mountain trails with $50 pounds
aboard and the load happened to be

not awarded a medal, was neverthe-

the howitzer put to route any enemy

fire.
When packers become proficient
they should be able to load a mule in
about thirty seconds. As Daily figures
